The $5 billion GIVE (Generations Invigorating Volunteers and Education) Act reminds Carter Clews of Americans for Limited Government why Mark Twain called Congress the only "distinctly native American criminal class."

You would think that all of the money funneled to liberal special interests and all of the money confiscated from taxpayers to create more government programs (and therefore dependents) via the "stimulus" package and the budget would have our new ruling class feeling pretty safe. But no, they aren't going to leave anything to chance. They have reached into our wallets yet again, this time to fund ACORN to the tune of $5B to be absolutely sure that every inmate, dead person and fictional character gets to vote D. These people are shameless.

Pete here is very perceptive - $5 billion for Obama's ACORN brownshirts. There is another $4 billion for ACORN cousins under "Community Redevelopment" activists as well with Maxine Waters at their head.

The election of Barack Obama removed the race shield of America's period of slavery that the PC Democrats have used since the 60's when they hi-jacked the Civil Right's Movement to hide their tyrannical dictatorial, socialist agenda. Poor minorities, especially blacks and Puerto Ricans to gain political dominance. Thank God, America is finally awakening from it shame-induced coma. America has apologized and paid ( trillions in worthless Manpower Programs ) again and again. Enough is enough ! This so-called volunteer program is a thinly veiled attempt to set up a mass indoctrination system. People volunteer because they have a desire to " give " of themselves to help their less fortunate fellowman. Volunteers give, not sell their service. The PC aka INSANE have come up with one entitlement that begins as a bribe and ends as mind control. Americans need to lose the guilt about slavery, prejudice and discrimination. Its time to stand-up! Knees are not a strong position for bargaining. If, after all that has been done to level the playing field for America's minorities, then its time to do what was done to the character in " Man Without A Country " take away their passport, put them on a plane, or ship to whatever country they believe would make them happy and never allow them to set foot on American soil again ! Like John Rich's T-shirt says, " If you don't love America, get the hell out !!! " Every community in America needs to have Community Constitutional Conferences conducted by young Constitutional Lawyers to explain to the average American citizen their rights under the Constitution. There are remedies, e.G recall elections - 18 states ! And the option of voting the mobsters out of office. America must take off the blinders. This so-called GIVE program simply is a sly way to impose a totalitarian society in America, starting with the continued indoctrination instead of education of America's youth.

Hitler had his mandatory youth movement. I guess Obama believes that is a great idea for him as well.
