Black Columnist Calls for Reinstitution of Slavery
Moonbattery makes all things possible — except for good things. Professional bloviator Rhonda B. Graham, who is black, has called for the reinstitution of slavery.
Of course, it wouldn't be called slavery, but rather "enforced community service." She praises a plan by failed presidential candidate Chris Dodd to impose it. Reagan's call for volunteerism was no good, because it was voluntary. But so long as it's coerced, "volunteerism" will exemplify "the new American patriotism at work." Clodd wants to sentence all high school students to performed 100 hours of community service, as though they were criminals.
According to Graham, forcing teenagers to work as slaves will allow America-hating limousine leftists like Michelle Obama to feel proud of America, despite housing foreclosures and the possibility that Roger Clemens used steroids.
People like this could be running the country soon.

"mandatory volunteerism???"
Oh, I get it. She thought '1984' was an instructive policy manual.

"Mandatory volunteerism"
But don't call them fascists. It hurts their feelers.

I remember Bill Clinton calling for the same thing. I'll bet Hitlery and O'sama both like it too.

I like the way she "worked Ronald Reagan into the hard sell". I'm sure every teenager in the US will benefit from being "conscripted by libtards". I wonder how she can look in the mirror and take herself seriously after referencing the Iraq War as being "botched" anyway??? I wonder what her idea of success is? Maybe if their government voted in "Socialism and made a Global Warming disaster plan"????

I think we should refer to it as 'Indenturing'.
Double the hours and only apply it to those students that can not prove that they and/or their parents are legal.
Have them paint the schools and do work that pays off thier debt to me, an actual taxpaying member of society that they sponge off of.
No problems with me dude.

I'll accept her recommendations with one clause: All policy pundits such as herself also have to perform 100 hours mandatory community service, with no slacking, excuses or hiring a replacement allowed.
It's amazing how fast Moonbats will drop their support for an idea once they have to suffer its consequences too.
The reason the global warming hoax and anti-Marine Code Pinkoism still survive is because Gor and Sheehan do not have to live with the consequences of their dictates - Third World standard of living and terrorist invasion.

It's already in effect here in Florida. My nieces HAD to do "volunteer" work or they wouldn't graduate. I told them that it was not volunteering, because they recieved "payment" in the form of a diploma and that it was also coersion.
Liberals are such idiots.

What is funny / irony about this issue is the Liberals are trying to copy a very successful program in private schools.
Private schools that they despise because they do not have socialist control over the curriculum or views taught to the 'CHILDREN'.
In the successful private schools, which are a neccessity in CA and the San Francisco Bay area (because the public schools suck), even the parents have to provide x number of hours of committment, above the tuition.
It is ironic that liberals are trying to copy something they despise, though they are pushing it for totally different reasons.
The private schools do it because they do not have the huge tax base to suck the tit of, and this reduces overall cost for the parents and creates a better education team.
Liberals don’t want the parents involved because it’s harder to socialize and re-educate the ‘CHILDREN’ to absolute liberal values.
Liberals are pushing this additional control on to the ‘CHILDREN’ to ensure socializing success to create more liberals, since they do not procreate as fast as moderates and conservatives (statistically proven fact – why they need the illegal vote).

Yaaawn, this is old news it is already happening in Massachusetts were if you can't pay your property taxes well you can go to work for the government at less than minimum wage to pay off your debt, ever heard the term pound slaves? Or debtors prison? Or tenant farming?

Madated volunterism is just wrong. Someone mentioned the college stuff and that is just the beginning.
I don't even know where to begin, it perverts it in such a way that you have convicted drunk drivers hassle people on street corners in the name of firefighters to fork over a buck for a tootsie pop.
I used to help and try to be civic and this is ruining people that truly want to help. I dont want to be associated with the types that are forced to volunteer.

Could be that liberals have been lining up at the abortion mills too much over the years. They seem to think that is a form of birth control.

Stalinist Russia had mandatory volunteerism to the point where 20 million people volunterily died by government mandate.
