What I fear.. if he is ever elected; is his promise of a civilian youth core more heavily funded than the mililtary. Pray tell - what would 500 billion dollars per year do for these "youth" ?? What happens to law enforcement and the military? What is this insatiable need for an SS brown shirt type of "youth core"??

In his book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for America," Rahm Emanuel writes: "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 18 and 25 will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."

Emanuel and his co-author Bruce Reed, insist 'this is not a draft,' but go on to write of young men and women, 'the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service.' They also warn, 'Some Republicans will squeal about individual freedom,' ruling out any likelihood that they would let people opt out of universal citizen service."

Did you just say that Obama will be around more than 4 more years? That is just what I fear since he has done more to make this a European socialist nation in just over three years than I thought he could do in 8 years.

So you agree with me that Obama will be the ruler of the US once he gets rid of that damnable Constitution that gets in his way now and then.

And you get all your information about him from Media Matters, Kos, and Think Progress. All those places are wonderful sources of left wing propaganda so I guess you are very well informed, at least in the left wing manner.

Writing and fighting for the Obamacare law has been plenty but there is much more that they have accomplished toward that end.

No, I looked at the link. Just as I don't need to research where a large pile of excrement in a bull pasture came from I need go no further when I see a link to a biased, fear-mongering (f)right-wing site to know there's nothing worth reading there.

Neither of those names has a Middle East sound to it. Maybe you really should read that link to see what I mean.

If you're telling me that link encourages you to fear names because they sound like they're from a certain region I know for sure I wouldn't waste my time reading that kind of McCarthyesque fear-mongering BS.

How do you feel about your shadow? Does it SCARE you?

BTW, Jesus is a name that " has a Middle East sound to it", does it SCARE you ?
