Hah, You think your time was wasted. In 1993 the goverment promised me 14725 if i went through a program. At the end of the program no one was told where to get the money or how to contact it. A friend told me they had it and when I finally got the number down. His phone blacked out showing all ink. So he had to get another one. When we went to the place to get the telephone number again, they had shut down and moved to another city. I didn’t get one thin dime. They said you had seven years to claim it. I tried for seven years to get in contact with those people. I spent my time in the waters of Bayou Savage with animal droppings going in my boots by the ways of water. If that wasn’t enough I had mosquitoes biting me at another location. The government promises a lot but that is all they are promises they break as easily as glass.
HAH!!! What this program was? AMERICORP!!!

And I wonder who and what will be the recipients of this work? Of course, black people, feminists, enviro-nuts, democrat (earmark) organizations, homosexuals…….

The workers will toil, while the beneficiaries will not feel guilty about watching other people work.

Just like in college. The professor has you do forced “volunteer” work for a report or class, and when you look at the list of eligible places to get credit, THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRAT PET PROJECTS! Heck even the democratic party itself is listed. (but guess what is not listed?)

Stupid me! I’ve been volunteering for nothing more than the the idea that something needed to be done and I was available to to it. Just think of all the years I’ve wasted in the schools, churches, military bases over the past 30 years! If only I had waited for The Great and Mighty Obama. I could have gotten paid for all my hard “Volunteer” work! Maybe it is just me, but has the definition of the word volunteer changed? Another example of the “what’s in it for me?” mentality. They all believe the earth revolves around them.

Fat Chance, Obliviami! You stole my entire life in less than two months…and trust me, if there is anything that I will volunteer to do, it wont have a damn thing to do with this Americorps bull pucky. I actually pity the first “community organizer” foolish enough to come to my door with his list of “volunteers” for projects….

Singing Ted Kennedy’s praises for all that he’s done for our country? Can somebody please enlighten me on what if anything this bloviating senator from Taxachussetts has done that’s beneficial for America?

Hitler Youth indeed. I’m going to puke. What next?

Personally, the whole thing sounds sort of like a prelude to a 21st century Hitler Youth in America.

Don’t be unpatriotic, pro. If you don’t want to pledge loyalty to der fuhrer, then just keep your non-corps job. You will not be singled out for retribution, unless you are in radio, or rant about his economic policies on television, or expose a scandalous affair, or otherwise cross The Party in a fairly serious way.

When will the oath of loyalty to Obamy be required?

“as well as an American who has never stopped asking what he can do for his country — Sen. Edward Kennedy,” the president said.”

Sorry I just fell out of my chair laughing, oh my goodness that Barry, what a kidder!
