Obama’s Draft
Buried in Obama’s speeches and on his website are plans to create a wide range of new organizations, some of which will draft people, still in school, to work for these groups, whether they like it or not. The other agencies, some of which are “green” programs, will be sit up for the rest of us to “volunteer” to work for. The Volokh Conspiracy covers it all here. I read about these months ago when I was reading each candidates campaign platform. They sounded very vague, but I seriously doubt the youth of America will love Obama if he forces them to work for government agencies picking up trash and doing other monkey work.
On his website it all sounds rather harmless, and maybe it is. But in his speech the other night it made it sound as if he plans to expand the government more than any President in history. And that’s simply not going to be “good for the economy”, considering that FDR’s expansions of the government are credited with lengthening the Depression by 7 years.
Speaking of Obama, if you go to his website’s store, they still don’t have Biden’s name on any of the signs, bumper stickers and other gear. What an egotist. McCain had Palin’s name on some of the gear the day after she was announced.
UPDATE: I wonder if this is what Obama sees for his new “green volunteer” army.
Councils are recruiting ‘citizen snoopers’ to report litter louts, dog foulers and even people who fail to sort out their rubbish properly. The ‘environment volunteers’ will also be responsible for encouraging neighbours to cut down on waste. The move comes as local authorities dish out £100 fines to householders who leave out too much rubbish or fail to follow recycling rules.
It will fuel fears that Britain is lurching towards a Big Brother society, following the revelation this week that the Home Office is extending some police powers to council staff and private security guards. Critics said the latest scheme could easily be abused and encourage a culture of bin spies and curtain twitchers.
Matthew Elliott, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: ‘Snooping on your neighbours to report recycling infringements sounds like something straight out of the East German Stasi’s copybook.
It’s amusing that a half-black man could be the one to return slavery to America.

Free to agree with the government and not step out of line.
