National service or indentured servitude?

service_to_obamaBarack Obama’s got plans for you, bub.

Just last week, he took the occasion of Independence Day to highlight what he hopes to be a revival of JFK’s “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” speech.

That’s why I won’t just ask for your vote as a candidate — I will ask for your service and your active citizenship when I am President of the United States. This won’t be a call issued in one speech or one program — this will be a central cause of my presidency. We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities for Americans to serve.

“New opportunities.” That’s doublespeak for new government “service” programs which will cost $3.5 billion per year in taxpayer dollars. But rather than simply encouraging Americans to volunteer as Kennedy did, the Obamessiah is gonna make sure you are forced to serve.

So when I’m President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. This means that by the time you graduate college, you’ll have done 17 weeks of service.

100 hours of mandatory community service was the penalty given to Sandy Berger for stealing and destroying highly classified documents from the National Archives! And that’s what Obama plans to impose on America’s youth every year. That, friends, is not a “call to service.” It’s indentured servitude; forced slavery to the federal government.

Sounds like Barack – a supposed Constitutional scholar – forgot that pesky 13th Amendment:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
