I knew the assault on our freedoms would come swift from an Obama administration. From his new Orwellian-named website, change.gov:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Obama is, quite ironically, apparently not familiar with the 13th Amendment:

Section 1. 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.

Obama’s new chief of staff, aside from being a rabid partisan who mails dead fish to people who piss him off, authored a book called The Plan. In it he called for the following:

It’s time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. …

Here’s how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service.

This has striking, and disturbing, similarities to the fascism that grew out of the progressive era in America.
