It looks like taxpayers will get a double whammy; first they will pay the expenses of the draftees, and second, the draftees will probably ‘invest’ in the infrastructure, or perform other services that the Democrats are having trouble getting passed by Congress.
Unique national experience; doesn’t that sound like something from Stalin or Hitler?

Agree with your Stalin reference C,F,
Just wait until Obama institues his own socialist holiday, of which he’ll name it:

Why were the facts edited out that (A)It’s a voluntary organization and (B)They would be paid
with tuition assistance (such as it is done with
ROTC).
[W: I BELIEVE HE SAID IT WOULD BE MANDATORY. DS]

Since it hasn’t been implemented yet, who knows whether it will be voluntary, and, after all, where does tuituion assistance come from?
Guess what? It comes from the taxpayers!

The segment where Emanuel states it is mandatory begins at 3:27 (When the video starts).

Sounds alot like the Nazi brown shirts to me or Hitler’s youth corps.
At any rate

I pray that someone with influence in the media or the government reads this and is compelled to bring the facts before the public.
JUST IMAGINE THIS:
If my Government teacher in 1978 would have told me that in 2008 the President Elect would have 15 lawsuits filed against him in the State Courts and 2 filed in The Supreme Court of the United States filed. If she said that the 17 lawsuits would accuse him of fraud and question his status as a natural born citizen. If she said that his father was a foreign national and that he had held citizenships from other countries. If I was told that the President Elect was not coming forward with documents and records that would put an end to the charges and demanding that his honor be restored. If she said that the major Newspapers and National TV News Networks would not report it. When she said millions and millions of people learned about it on reports from a digital web of world wide computers and were left wondering what does the President Elect have to hide. Was he hiding something that had to wait until after his inauguration to go public? Would it have cost him election? I would have said that that would make for the start of a good novel. But no way could that ever happen.
Well here we are. 11-18-08
Tonight FOX News reported in detail on legal cases about the 8 year old Arizona Boy who may have killed his father, a Mom who may have cyber bullied a girl into committing suicide and yes a little more Drew Peterson updates for desert. Not a word on the existence of the 17 lawsuits accusing the next President of the United States to be a fraud. Is this fair and balanced reporting, you decide?
Yesterday while reading an online news story a link led me to a report by Debbie
Schlussel. a columnist who has put her name and reputation in red letters on documents that raise questions that Obama may have not registered for the draft and lied and that there may be forgery involved. Her source for the aforementioned documents identified himself. I am left wondering are these documents genuine, is this a hoax? Where can I go for the answers. Will the Major News Papers or the National TV News Networks investigate this and honestly report what is true and what is false? Thirty years ago I would have thought so but now after the 2008 election I have serious doubts.
Why are these reports not getting coverage and national attention? Why does Barrack Obama have to be protected from investigation? Is the DNC indirectly using fear of racial violence and riots to obtain and maintain their grasp of executive power? I am a white man and I have a picture of Martin Luther King on my desk. His picture reminds me to judge people “by the content of their character not the color of their skin.” I am a contractor and work with people of all colors every day. I personally employ 2 African Americans and 3 Lost Boys from Sudan. They are good men and deserve the respect they have earned. The current political and racial climate makes me sick. Will fear of riots and violence keep the truth from being told to the people? If we let this happen then it may be the beginning of the end of the America we knew. Think about what could happen in the next 30 years if we do not make a stand now.
I was born in 1961 and graduated High School in 1979 same as Barack Obama. My SSS record is genuine. I have been married 24 years, we have 2 children and a small business that my wife and I started 20 years ago that now employs 24 people. I pray to God for knowledge of his will for me.

They’re going to HAVE to reinstitute the draft because no one in their right mind would volunteer under B Hussein Obama. Will the mainstream media report the drop in enlistees?
Obama can’t even salute the flag, for heavens sake. I wonder if he even knows the Pledge of Allegiance since he spent his formative years attending a Muslim school in Indonesia. Does he know the “Star Spangled Banner”? I bet not. He hates our country–listen to his words, not what the MSM tells you.

Oh,…so THAT’S what the internment camps they’re building are for.

very ominous, very creepy. Obama and co want a new mindset–we all need to serve the state he is president of. What better way to help us all to get it?
