Audio: The obligatory “Rahm Emanuel talks about compulsory civil defense service” clip
posted at 3:54 pm on November 12, 2008 by Allahpundit
We already knew this, but it’s one thing to know it and another thing to hear it. I hope he presses Obama to implement it, as the weeks of fun we’ll have with “Imagine if Bush had proposed this” scenarios will amount to a new golden age for the right-wing blogosphere. Promise me this, Rahm: Not just barracks but uniforms, too.
Exit question: They don’t have enough Obama cultists willing, able, and sufficiently underemployed to volunteer? On second thought, that’d be an exceedingly bad idea, wouldn’t it?

Oh man oh man, this is the freaky-deakiest fascist idea of Obama’s covert platform! It has avoided attention of the media (we all know why) just like Hillarycare’s provision to jail those who chose their own doctor outside the wire. Once Obama formally floats this in the public forum, we are gonna have the time of our lives beating on this pinyatta! Wheeeeeee! Even the media is gonna go WTF?
This creepy Obama Youth program is enough to sink his whole administration by itself and guarantee his single term. And he’s got more ideas just like it!

To do what exactly? Rat out freedom fighters? Gun owners? Exactly what is this training? What is the purpose or function? what is the goal?
Three months training, then nothing???
I do not like the vagueness of this. Daddy gov taking contol of his children?????? (indoctrination camp?)

Some here are showing disturbing signs that they are not freely opening themselves to the change they need and this must be corrected soon so other Americans can have hope to believe in. This is their civil right. Please tune in to a network news anchor of your choice for further clarification and guidance. Television is strength.
Tens of millions of non-racists have cast their votes early and often, the judges have passed on the racist ineligibility charge, the FEC has passed on the racist allegations of foreign money and now it is time for all to move on and embrace the new national spirits that will bring us the change we need. We all must be willing to serve now for the common purpose of changing America now and then the world.
Has not our Obama said? Behold:
This sacrificial service as a collective nation is the change we seek and now is the time. The train is leaving the station. The days of petty partisanship are past. Resistance to a clear mandate of hope is divisive, racist and unpatriotic. Enough!

Notice the irony. When politicians advocate tax increases for the “rich” they make just a little less than the bar they set.
Now, they’re too old for the lastest venture, voluntary service.
Or, you can get the same medical insurance that BO has, except you have to pay for it yourself while Barack pays nothing.
This goes on and on…

Just figure: When the democratic congress cuts military spending by 25% and Biden sends our soldiers all over the world to stop genocide and to make sure all third world countries get their rice deliveries, there will be plenty of empty barracks for the Obama Youth to sleep in. :)

Note to Rahm: I already know what it is to be an American. I have been one my entire life. I do not need you to force me to become what YOU think is American. The America you want is not America.
P.S. You will not have my children neither.

I am not as optimistic as some of you that these radical ideas are going to wake up the public to what an Obama administration really means.
Remember the “eloquent” way they explain away all of Obama’s radical views; the intimidation factor; and the media’s slanting of any news associated with him. He already has millions of starry-eyed minions who blindly(but not color-blind) voted for him, plus millions of dollars(much from unknown countries) to help deceive the rest of the citizens, or to squash his detractors.
We can only hope enough people wake up in time, before America truly is destroyed forever. And we need a leader to wake them up.
Sterling Holobyte on November 12, 2008 at 6:03 PM

Wyznowski on November 12, 2008 at 6:15 PM
I just had an epiphany: This could be their way around the second ammendment. By requiring this ‘service’ of all, they have created a ‘well regulated militia.’ Therefore, the ‘regulation’ part of the weapons comes into effect.
Or not.
TinMan13 on November 12, 2008 at 6:17 PM
I think you are all missing something here. Emmanual’s model for this is Israel not Germany. Remember, his father is Irgun and Emmanual went off to Israel in 1991 to help prepare the IDF and the Israeli civilian population for war. I think we need to seperate Rahm Emmanual from the One on this.
I think this has about as much chance as flying with his base as them every admitting that Sarah Palin is more knowledgeable then Obama. I think a lot of people on this board would volunteer for this kind of training if it were offered by the National Guard.

And Ed is trying to argue that comparing Emanuel or Obama to Nazis is an exaggeration? I would think that a guy with his knowledge of the military would also possess the same degree of knowledge of the history of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany of the 1920s-1930s.
How is Emanuel’s
requirementproposal all that different? Is it different because they say it calmly and Mussolini and Hitler used harsh voice tones?JDPerren on November 12, 2008 at 6:31 PM
wow, that is change you can believe in! First mandatory health care insurance (only after you pay the increased taxes, the bailouts for AIG, Financial institutions, car dealers, wall street, credit card companies, boat sellers and who ever get’s on the band wagon), then you pay for all those little children’s health care whose parents would rather have a new car and cable tv, and finally, you get to sign up for the mandatory civil service. Wow! what a fun 4 years this is going to be!
katablog.com on November 12, 2008 at 6:31 PM
We Americans find a big difference between “volunteering” and and “mandatory” service. We’re funny about believing our Constitution actually literally means something.

What will they be teaching our young people? They will probably have Saul Alinsky community organizer, Marxist crap being taught to them. Why can’t they just go into the military. Why do we need another national security force? Just think if Bush had proposed this??? The libs would be livid. I hope they do propose this as a requirement, it will sink their administration – Thank God. Obama already said he needs 8 years. I’m like we have to vote at least.

I concur, comrade. There is a great need for self-correction here at HotAir and elsewhere. We must cleanse America once and for all of the nativist bourgeoisie if we are going to make the Great Leap Forward that is so vitally necessary at this critical time. Those who engage in the petty sniping of Obama Derangement Syndrome must be shamed and made to understand in no uncertain terms that they will be held responsible for their obstructionism.

aikidoka on November 12, 2008 at 6:54 PM
I guess I mised the party of Emanuel’s interview where he talks about the master race and invading neighboring countries for lebensraum and euthanizing the old and sick and death camps.
PLEASE stop going there, people. One fascistic proposal does not make him Hitler. There were fascists before Hitler, and fascists after Hitler. Woodrow Wilson was as much a fascist as Obama apparently is, and we survived Wilson. It really does devalue and minimize what Hitler actually did to compare Barack Obama or Rahm Emanuel to him.

Ace has a really good post on this topic. To fully appreciate it you need to read Ed’s “calm down people” ODS post.
I understand (I guess) Ed’s impulse in telling us to “calm down” re voicing concerns about Obama — he wants to keep HA mainstream enough to survive, I guess — but I really think that the threat Obama poses to our country is very serious, too serious to spend a lot of energy censoring ourselves lest we sound… ummm… uncalm.
Personally, I’m scared shi+less.
Y-not on November 12, 2008 at 7:13 PM
Heh. I see you missed the clues. Django caught on.
See we’ve been though the first levels of the Obamanation civilian service and have made the personal decision to repent of any latent bias to serve universal change. Won’t you join us? In level two as we prove our allegiance we get a uniform, choose our area of service and are deputized as change agents. I can’t wait to join the others and feel part of the group.
All the leadership kept telling us is that, through the power of Obama, America will never be the same and we’ll change the world forever along with him. He is actually allowing us to be his agents of change! We believe in him because he emails us encouragement every day to show he believes in us. As leader Rahm spoke about, we see it as a circle of love. Hate and division are not tolerated and in fact, it’s going to be our job to help eliminate that bad stuff so we can usher in peace. That was stressed a lot as our “purpose.” I’ve never felt so good about self, my comrades, our country, our leaders and everyone is united for the coming change.

I agree. A lot of the right-leaning blogoshpere’s calculated magnanimity and “at the end of the day, we’re all Americans” stuff is forced nostalgia and wishful thinking – “Hey, if we pretend everything’s okay, it will be!” “Change” is here with a vengeance, campers, whether you can face it or not.

Here’s a thought. When the big wave of National Guard units went to Iraq any child 12 or over had to register at the NG headquarters and received an ID card. Children younger than 12 did not have to take the extra step but all the them were listed for benefits. This was in 2003, now those 12 year olds are now turning 18. There is a list.
Commander in Chief has access to that list.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.
Conscription for the common good, service to the collective.
I’m really curious to how the administration is going to answer the detailed questions on this.
Such as;
- What is the mission for this new force?
- What is the jurisdiction?
- How is it funded?
- Why do you feel that the existing service options such as US Peace Corps, National Guard, and Regular Military are inadequate?
- If this is mandatory service because it is for the common good and it is *good* for the participants, what other service to the collective will you make mandatory for the public’s own good?
- Is this an attempt to have a quasi-military force, that can legally take action on US citizens in a way that the regular military is legally prevented from doing?
- Why do you feel there is a need for this force that is not being fulfilled currently?
- How is this Constitutionally sound?

They are obviously very serious about this. Why??
Because they know they will need to use this force against America for what they have coming.
You don’t build something like this unless you intend to use it!

They need to do a couple things,, one is,, stop the flow of information. Talk radio and blogs are enemy number one.
They will have to shut people up and restrict the information flow. They will also need to pass some of these things quickly. The quicker, the better. The more time people have to review their wicked evil plans the more time there is for the people to stop them.
I am beginning to believe the bailout was a dry run/test for passing legislation quickly! God help us all if a terrorist attack occurs or a real natural disaster.
God knows what will happen to freedom then.
