Americorps, citiyear, boy and girl scouts of america... if you want to see the danger of youth squads look no further then nazi germany for the extreme of where it can go... the same programs do exist in places like China, North Korea, and Cuba, among other places... you know, those other freedom loving nations.

Yes, we are so much like Nazi Germany...
Can the paranoia, there is zero evidence of anything wrong with this on anything like that scale, and lots of evidence that there is not.
Lol... no no, of course not... It's just in the new york times that the boy scouts are training to take on disgruntled veterans and gun owners to help homeland security.
Put it this way, in nazi germany the working class was so propagandized that it's no real surprise that many of them had no idea of the horrors that were being perpetrated all around them.
So now we have moved past Obama and now it's just any democrat. Way to move those goalposts. Further, as best I can tell(I may be wrong, but don't think so) this amendment may already be voted down, and if not, it will be. Further, it's about recruiting people into the military in "hate groups", not gun control.
No, Obama himself only talks about 'reasonable restrictions', citing total bans as 'reasonable'... that's only 1 of the bills that have anti-gun contentions... If I really looked, I could find probably 5-6 others... so, simply, the politician Obama is saying that he supports the second ammendment, but believes in 'reasonable restrictions', so ANY gun restriction law that crosses his desk he will deem 'reasonable' even if it's a total ban. He is very slick... even slicker then Bush, who himself was amazingly slick for how stupid he came across as...
Further, while the INTENT of that bill deals with millitary recruitment, the way it does so is by labelling a wide variety of groups as 'hate-groups' which would tie into the patriot act where these groups could then be called 'domestic terrorists' and as we all know, domestic terrorists in the patriot act have waived their rights under the constitution.
Seriously, especially with all the anti-gun rhetoric coming out of the administration, (ex: rahm emmanuel saying if you're on the 'no fly list' you don't deserve to own a firearm, etc) how can you simply claim that it's not happening... I mean, I do a search for gun bills in hourse and / or senate and there's too many to list.
You mean like health insurance?
Yes, that's ration by market, if the costs for insurance go up to the point where a person can't afford it, they can be denied treatment.
Instead, through Obama care, a panel would decide how treatments are rationed... and then you'll probably deny rationing when most every section of the bill that I've seen talks about some form of rationing.
Useless exaggerated hyperbole is, well, useless.
I was just pointing out that by some definitions we are living in a facsist republic at this point.
I repeat, one of us has "drank the koolaid", and it ain't me.
Drank the kool-aiod??? It's called knowing history, and watching it repeat (ableit at a much slower pace then has been witnessed by previous dictators) itself. I hate to break it to you, but while Obama talks about peace and love, his actions are the opposite. Example : he's called a peace lover when under Obama there are more troops in the mddle east now then when Bush was in power... hell, that'll get denied too... just like it's denied that the whole point of being in afghanistan is for heroin money... 500billion/ year. 2006 was a record year for opium production in afghanistan... in 2007 that record was broken... in 2008 a NEW record was set... in 2009 THAT record was beat 13 TIMES over. ... no point in sourcing it, it either doesn't exist or you'll agree 'oh we gotta protect the opium fields or else the taliban will take over the heroin production' (to paraphrase what the BBC said on the subject about a month or so ago) ... Think about it, do you think back when the afghan war was with Russia... do you think that the russians wanted afghanistan so that they could have access to all the sand and mountainous terrain??? OF COURSE NOT... they were there for the same reason, SMACK.
