OMG! Obama wants to impose the equivalent of a nation wide system of madrassas so that the left can have even more opportunities for brain washing youth than they already have in the educational system! What republicans voted for this? Their names should be publicized.

Re: House Passes Mandatory National Service Bill Infowars ~ The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama's promised "civilian national security force" intensify NO WONDER the Dems are causing such a hullabaloo over the bonuses THEY caused to not be stopped before they were already gone.... This bill looks like another very bad news thing....Soon, the American people are going to just stand up together, and say STOP! This is OUR COUNTRY and we are FIRING every one of you in Congress...! I think AJ Strata captured much of the feeling we see here, and outside in our communities now.... >>>>> Here is my prediction of the coming weeks - rising anger from everywhere outside the beltway of DC. We are all receiving the annual reports required for tax time. We have seen are housing assessments and all the wealth we have lost there. We are seeing the investment portfolios of once rock solid, gold standard stocks (our GE stock has lost over half its value). Many of us our now without work, all of us know someone in dire straights. And here comes the Federal Taxman grabbing our money so it line the pockets of those with contacts in high places. Whether it is the $3 million dollar dog park, the $300k for auto flushing toilets, the $165 million for AIG bonuses or the $2 Trillion to battle CO2 (and do nothing for the global climate) it really doesn’t matter anymore. It is all waste, it is all coming out of our hides. We worked for it and we need it for our own needs. And we need that money for our families. We need that money to make sure the kids get their college education. We need to make sure our kids get to stay in their rooms and not move. We need to get food on the table. We don’t have the money to spend on dealing with pooping puppies in Pasadena.<<<<< >>>>>Obama never got it last year. He and the Dems promised to change America. It is not “America” outside the DC beltway that is, or was, the problem. We need to fix DC. We need to shrink its power base, cut off the lines of corruption, allow states to manage these vast programs where voters can react locally to ineptitude. We don’t need the Feds to handout welfare/unemployment checks or monitoring schools or taking over businesses. We have a bloated Federal government whose tinkering has left our economy in a shambles and wiped out over half our wealth. <<<<< siliconinvestor.com
