LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set
by John NolteOn September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”
On its face this all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way. The networks have launched these kinds of campaigns before and other than some clunky exposition awkwardly inserted into your favorite show to meet the mandate — no harm, no foul.

But this year there are a couple new strangers in town: “Volunteerism” and “Service.” You’ve heard of them. Their names have been bandied everywhere since President Obama took office, and this internal memo from the EIF to network showrunners obtained by Big Hollywood shows that the entertainment industry is well acquainted and eager to introduce both to as vast an audience as possible:
eif-doc –
–
Like the NEA story, once again we see the same buzzwords pop up; suggested topics pitched to an overwhelmingly left-of-center group: Education, health, environment, the economy and lastly — almost as an afterthought as some kind of “bi-partisan” cover – support for military families.
We’ll have to wait until next week to see what effect this initiative will have on the 60 television (and news) programs in question, but thanks to the intrepid Patrick Courrielche and Stage Right, today we can answer the simple question of…
“What’s wrong with this?”
Doing the work the Kamikaze Media (many of whom are participating in this event rather than digging for the story) refuses, and with the help of Big Government’s Dana Loesch, Patrick and Stage Right have discovered that when it comes to this White House – whether it’s the NEA conference calls or EIF’s iParticipate programming — all roads funnel into one place: online volunteer portals, including Serve.gov, where if you plug in “health care” all kinds of Planned Parenthood openings pop up along with a video dispelling those ugly “myths” knocking ObamaCare.
There’s scarier stuff, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise. *cough*Trutherism*cough*
We’ll start with Stage Right. Next week, tens, if not hundreds of millions of Americans, will be urged through the (ab)use of public airwaves to log on to the EIF iParticipate site and volunteer. Stage Right will give you a preview of what the unsuspecting and well-intentioned, including your children, will find.
If you’re thinking it’s all about “Meals on Wheels,” think again.
From there, Patrick Courrielche will describe how this EIF initiative fits into a broader White House plan, including the push to politicize the NEA, to redefine “art” as “service” and engage an all too compliant news, entertainment, and artistic community to start a volunteer army through these online portals.
First the NEA, now the EIF…
Starting to notice a pattern?
PART II: Search and Ye Shall Find…Left-Wing Advocacy
PART III: Serve.gov or Serf.dom?

Is there a list of the shows participating? I'd like to avoid this nonsense even if it means boycotting all TV for a week.
We've got to kick these morons out of power and never let them win again. It's something new everyday. I'm sick of it.
This power grab and descent into a communist state has to STOP NOW.
Thanks for Exposing this BigGov, Breitbart.
We need a list of shows and boycott them!
MSM is a JOKE. They are responsible for covering up the truth about this radical marxist and
getting him elected in the lst place!!
I know! I feel the same way. I do find encouragement in the fact that there are more and more people waking up everyday to their attrociities.

Time for a spoof on The Outer Limits.
"We control the vertical. We control the horizontal. . . "
.
I'm waiting for someone, anyone on the left to admit that they find any of this stuff just a bit creepy. I know if Obama were a republican, I would.
You people still have TV in your homes? BUWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
What's scarier is that you think giving it up is some sort of sacrifice.
I don't watch TV (except Fox news) anyway. Neither do my kids. This is ridiculous. Thanks Breitbart!
When coerced, it is not volunteerism, when service is involuntary or unpaid, it is slavery.
It is bad enough that the government is stealing our freedom, now they want us to help.
….keep gitmo open….we're going to need a place to house these clowns before their trial……
Tennessee is the Volunteer State. Nobody volunteers like Tennesseans. We don't need to be prodded by a bunch of errant "celebrities." Interestingly, Tennessee is a "red" as it comes politically. Self-reliance and responsibility are the watchwords here.
Indoctrination ordered by the "dear leader" and enforced by his lefty braindead zombies.
Voluneerism is something that we should all be compelled to do because it is the Christian thing to do…it is expected of us. Certainly not because Pres. Opompous orders us to do it so it, like everything else, must reflect positively on him (because in Obamaland….EVERYTHING is about him!). Volunteerng at my church and ultimately to my community THROUGH my church is what God expects of us….who gives a rat's butt whether Opompous wants you to do it…..folks performing any kind of service has nothing to do with Opompous. It's not about him.
So for what we have is a co-ordinated effort by the White House to encourage more voluteerism which on first glance seems innocent enough and that is how it will be spun. It is only with a little investigation and seeing the sites linked to that the real Political Objectives can be seen. The very best that can be said about this is that it is a way for team Obama to keep thier message out. It is also a way for them to co-opt new voters which will come of age before the next election. That is the best that can be said. The worst is a lot scarier.
I don't watch live TV, but I'd like a list of advertisers on these shows.
I suspect we're not their target audience, anyway–that would be the uninformed, barely literate (thanks to the leftists' work in the schools these past 40+ years), celebrity-obsessed lumpenproles who really *believe* Obama *cares* about them and has a stack of magic money to make all their (largely self-induced) problems go away.
We should tell them they're being used. They won't believe us, anyway.
That is what is so ridiculous! He is just preaching to the choir. If he really wants to change hearts and minds he should be appearing on Fox news and conservative talk radio. Just shows he has no confidence in what he is selling so he attacks opposition instead.
Serving others is a "price and promise of citizenship?" WTF?!? The law lays out what is and what is not citizenship and I'm pretty sure that this little gem doesn't show up in there anywhere. Wait a minute…yep. Just checked. Not there.
So will "volunteerism" become mandatory like paying federal taxes or registering for the selective service (at least for men, which seems to violate equal protection in and of itself)?
I suppose we'll have the Internal Volunteerism Service popping up sometime in the near future and each year we'll have to file a volunteerism return. Then you can deduct any time you volunteered for tax-exempt charities from your liability, but you'll need a document that states how many hours you volunteered and you'll only get to deduct a portion of it.
Then, you'll have a whole slew of credits and deductions you can take if you are eligible to receive help from tax-exempt charities. The more civic groups you belong to the more you can deduct from your liability, or even better if you belong to enough you can itemize. By providing volunteering opportunities for other people you can also take partial deductions on their volunteerism.
And, if you don't volunteer at all you'll be eligible to become the head of the Internal Volunteerism Service or the Secretary of Volunteerism.
That picture is giving me the creeps! I can't look at it anymore!
What a surprise! The AARP logo is on the bottom of the iParticipate web site.
Who does this knucklehead of a president think he is anyway?
Ya know what is really scary? Our hard earned tax dollars are paying for this. I will not be COMMUNITY ORGANIZED!!!!!!!!
NOW I KNOW WHAT THAT 11BILLION DOLLARS IN THE TARP FOR "VOLUNTEERISM' WAS FOR!!!
WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS MANURE!!!! HELP … THIS GUY IS UNBELIEVEABLE. IMPEACH TODAY!
How many of these volunteer jobs would squeeze out jobs that someone might actually get paid for? It sounds like a way to decrease entry level positions and minimum wage jobs. The result? Higher unemployment. But what do I know.
It's incredible. Everyone knows that if this president were Bush or any republican, all kinds of corners would be calling for, at the least investigations and at the crazier end, impeachment.
And he just keeps getting passes on this stuff.
How many more days til this is over? Too damned many!
Now we know where our money went. I think Obama admin. believes in mystic power like hypnotism…LOL
I think someone should plan a counter campaign to turn off the tv during this period. Instead everyone should spend time with their families. I pledge to not watch tv during this period. I will instead enjoy the outdoors, spend time with family, or actually help another person without expecting payment in money or political credit.
Has anyone paid attention to Hugo Chavez! If not, look what he did with TV networks. Put a chill up my spine.
Another thing–At what point will volunteerism turn into required service? Another chill just ran up my spine.
This call for voluntereerism…plays on humans' hardwiring for compassion. And…a counterfeit? The ennobling of lemmings? The use of a far-reaching medium (TV). Creating a centralized database. Centralized administrating of people on that database. By a centralized government. Dudes…is this a MOVIE? Are we at the start of a slowspeed shuttle that could suddenly switch to a blinding-speed fastforwarding toward Socialism?
It's all so creepy.
All this stuff about "Serve" reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode. The aliens show up with a book, "To Serve Man", which turns out to be a cookbook.
Nutthin' like a buncha aliens in the White House.
What audacity! I agree with The_Q. I had to cover it up while I was reading it. I felt like his picture was boring a hole through my head and he could see right into my thoughts! It really creeped me out!
Well, Time to unplug from the grid and head to the hills! Get out while the gettin' is good, I say! At least then, we won't have to hear any more stupid stuff churning out of this administration. I thank God everyday, that I did not vote for this creep! Why isn't the left revolting over this? If it were a republican doing this exact same thing, they would be crucified! Isn't there a way to impeach him before he does any further damage to our great country?
It took a Nixon to re-open China. It takes an Obama to reestablish slavery.
Psychopolitics at its best.
You really want to get creeped out? Read "The Soviet Art of Brainwashing" http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7006/psychopol...

He is the Borg. You will be assimilated…
Wow, every week something more terrifying comes to light. I have to admit that even though I've read a lot of history, I never thought America could get this creepy this fast. It puts the whole "how did they let that happen?" question I've often asked myself about other countries in other times in a whole new and disturbing light.
You can rest assured Charlie Gibson never heard of this.
Who needs a list? If it is on a network then it will be suspect. Even if a rerun, you may be bombarded with PSA's as their attempt to "fulfill the mandate."
Local news may be safe. But otherwise, and shockingly, PBS may be your best bet. Unless they are running "national service" specials, you likely got used to their slant ages ago so will not notice the difference.
Do they also urge young healthy Americans to voluntarily join the armed services? Ha ha ha!
Obamo will have us Goose Stepping into the future.
Art, Entertainment, Propaganda, all to serve the State.
We are the Borg, you will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Don't give up just yet! First things first. First, 2010, get the bastards out of Congress! If we can't accomplish that step, then I am afraid we will have to really think about the hills!
“Volunteerism” and “Service."? He really believes that his supporters are going to get their lazy arses up off the couch for him? Bwaaaaaahaaaahaaaa! Hoooboy that's funny! They don't even WORK for MONEY, why should they work for NOTHING?! Hahahahaaha! That is so hilarious.
The liberals want no one controlling the horizontal, as what happens with the horizontal is strictly the decision of consenting adults, which could involve consenting not-legally-adults who nevertheless are mature enough to handle it, sometimes with those who can not give "active" consent due to the influence of various substances (of which all should be legalized if not already) but have given "situational" consent. In the future we may even be advanced enough to accept sharing the horizontal with non-humans, who have given consent by being friendly.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that."
Just wait, Obama's "Civilian Security Force" is next…. then it will be, "Gee, where are all of the Acorn volunteers disappearing to?"

Don't worry Americans, when Obama's rule is over(30 to 40 years) and all America will be a giant ghetto, the Chinese who will need your land, will take over and clean up and move on.
Some of the your young will live to see it.
I wonder if the Chinese will still use your geographical names.
I wonder in this modern age (and I have doubts how advanced "modern" can really be), how much longer that will make sense, as it is a long shot to find anyone who knows how to access the picture adjustments with their remote, let alone grasping the concept of adjusting controls on the back of the set.
It is now at the point where you can be outdoors with a young person, suddenly point and say "There, at two o'clock!", and they will check the time on their cellphone to see how long they'll have to wait.
"Serving others is a "price and promise of citizenship?"

While those of your young who survive will be banging their foreheads on the carpet five times a day and chanting 'allahu akbar.'
Has anyone else noticed how increasingly the images of Obama have that messiah-like aura of light in them?
You've got to be shiiting me, man! The inmates are running the asylum. From Obama's socialist (and, in some cases… communist) czars, to radical NEA, to the Hollywood mafia, they just keep chipping away. With little organized opposition, they are transforming our country, shaping it in Obama's vision. I will boycott TV that week, and spend my time reading Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, and Mark Levin.
Wait just a second here, I thought that media content followed rather than led public behavior and mores. These nitwits have just stomped the hell out of the theory they have held for decades, sneering at any oaf with the vulgaraity to believe the contrary .
Since this theory no longer holds true now that the Marxists want to help the Marxist cause with obvious propaganda, I propose a call to volunteerism of a different kind. Why don't we concerned citizens call this EIF and demand programming free of murders and fisticuffs, overt sex and vulgarity? Let's have programming that exemplifies personal excellence and the values that are American. You work for something, you get it. Let's show teens why suicide is a futile gesture. Let us see programming that exemplifies the best in humanity. IF this group is so interested in improving America by controlling the content of the programming, why don't they follow it to a logical conclusion and improve society instead of tearing it down? So, programming does drive societal behavior after all.
They won't… they will just find some irrelevent example of Bush doing it… or accuse the right of lauding Bush if he had done it.
I'll volunteer… but not with any group that lists itself on Serve.gov…. I have list of places that I can volunteer with… and all I have to do is open my church bulletin or ask any of my churches Pastors… :-/
Quick, hide this post before they enact the legislation.

Even Jesus pointed to tax collectors and said, "who would do this to his own children? Not even tax collectors. But they'll do it to strangers."
Been a long-time volunteer at our crisis assistance agency. Back in Feb., we had a group of Obama supporters bring in a food drive.
Once.
Never saw them again.
The curious thing to me is that while about half of the paid staff are for Obama, which is not surprising for young social service grads, the volunteers are almost unanimously conservatives of the bitter clinger variety.
None of whom needed a presidential push to get them to volunteer.
Looks like Disney (ABC) is right in lock-step with it all.
Gone are the years of a million dreams. Gone will be this year's promotion: getting in free on your birthday.
Next year: VOLUNTEER and you get in free.
They continue to groom the children…….
…and what, dear Mr. Nolte, do you or anyone else for that matter suggest we do about any of this? Since the middle class is held hostage to one crisis after another, presented to us by the media on a second by second basis, and the govt., it's apparent that all we do is suffer psychologically to the point where we no longer have the energy to do anything at all. Any ideas, Buddy?
I loved that show. For some reason I'm reminded of an old quote from the British show "Doctor Who."
"The truly stupid and the truly powerful have one thing in common. They try to change the facts to their views instead of changing their views to the facts. This can be a problem if you happen to be one of the facts they are trying to change."
Tea Parties beware. People both powerful AND stupid "hope" to "change" some things.
(for any other DW fans out there)
Six words. Six. "Doesn't he look tired to you?"

I beat the brainwashers; I simply NEVER watch any television – nothing but filth and gutter propaganda – Obama is a communist – a true commie that hides his card.

i saw the first ads last night and felt ill that anyone out there would join the barry bandwagon based on the pitch. sorry, but when celebrities tell me what is good and what they think it is i should be doing, i am reaching for the clicker.
I think I may be the only one so far to say this on this post, but "I like to watch TV." As Chance the Gardener would say.
Anyhow, what I really want to say is that Comrade Obama's definition of volunteerism is different from the normal definition of volunteerism. To me, the normal definition is that you volunteer because you want to help those who maybe less fortunate or need help. The Comrade's definition is that you are required to give of yourself because you are "your brother's keeper."
A perfect example is requiring high school students to "volunteer" if they want to graduate from high school. Pretty soon, and I'm sure you've heard about it, the Comrade's cronies want to mandate "volunteerism" for everybody!
It starts as a simple message of volunteering until they make it mandatory.
Time to join the Obama brownshirts, and spread the Hope and Change gospel on the streets.
Don't refuse, unless you are a racist.
It is now time to remove these idiots from office, with force if required!!

What's funny is that soon real government service, military service for example, will count as nothing, in fact, will be a strike against you. Mind you, not ha ha funny, but sad funny.
Orwell just got the date wrong.
Oh the shock and horror of it all! Encouraging people to give back to their communities! Sounds almost like, no, don't say it, BOY SCOUTS. There, the cats out of the bag. For those who complain about us spending all our resources overseas you'd think they wouldn't mind a little effort back home. But nope, that would require putting your money where your mouth is. Please keep acting like the aholes you are because there's stil about 20 percent of the country left that doesn't hate everything you complainers stand for. Is your world small enough yet? Just wait.
Jeez, where have you been for the last year and a half. This is, and has been, a common practice. What you will never see is a bad pic of Obama.
When will Obama mandate that all school children wear uniforms with the ACORN emblem arm band ?
I think it is high time for a REVOLUTION. I am so sick and tired of the Chicago thugs running things…..
Thank God for the remote!
Coerced volunteerism = slavery? Do you even know what your saying? You can't be "coerced" into "volunteering" its a mfing contradiction.
Bohemond, exactly what I was going to say! Tho, if truth be told, and to truly be a follower of Muhammed, they would be banging their foreskins on the camel 5 times a day.
Just another "NUDGE" from the Obamatons trying to herd us pions in the right (LEFT) direction. It's not volunteerism if it is required, I believe they call that the draft or slavery!
you people are silly. you're afraid of volunteering. ooooOOOOOOoooo Obama's going to make you go to a soup kitchen oooOOOOOoooo. y'all are some p*ssy's.
Another reason showing that Hollywood means nothing more than shallow, simple and pretty sad rudderless people. Ummmm….guess D.C fits the very same discription too.
OK, I feel icky.
Tell me I'm not alone.
..and chill should run up your spine. I've lived through this in a formal communist country of Eastern Europe. We were required to do "volunteer service" . As high schoolers it was mandatory to go and pick fruits for cooperatives at harvest time. I guess at least that could resolve the illegal alien problem……..and i remember one summer my friend went to vacation to Moscow and they had to do community service as part of the trip.
This administration makes me sick to my stomach! This country, now my country which I love and respect so much is turning into my worst nightmare !
Steve_Tm. Um. How about boycotting TV for good? It doesn't really get you anywhere anymore.
What have you ever volunteered for?
After the final acclimation of the public will brown shirts be issued?
There's no way they can steal our freedom without our help. This is the dirty little secret behind all propaganda. They must convince enough people to sacrifice their freedom in order to enact their takeover. We must not allow them to succeed. We must begin a deconstruction of central authority in the Federal government. Shut down all unconstitutional activity in DC and redistribute the wealth of power from the Feds to the States, or to the People. Washington has become entirely corrupted by power. We must take it away from them.
Obama is not a leader. He is a "community organizer." God help us as we try to compete in the global economy.
Turn off the TV. Read a book.
The best way to fight is after the PSA comes out is to mock it relentlessly, blogs or you tube.
Yeh I know this is a conservative, red network orientation. But please listen to your comments. Obama may or may not be a good thing for this country, but since when is it un American to volunteer or provide service and support to our fellow Americans or the world's people in trouble. Please, just think about what he is really asking you to do. I think if we all committed more quality time to working together we would be a richer, happier, healthier country. Is that communism? Please read the history of our world. Please listen to your heart not to Rush. Love David
Whovians Unite!
So right on the money.
The only difference is the broomsticks and garbage bags DW used as costumes in the beginning were actually effective. Not working so well in DC now is it?
Yes, now that you mention it, he does look tired, so sad…
Actually you need to pull yourself out of the right/left paradigm… infowars.com. You need to look for people who understand the Constitution and truly apply it in government. I would suggest starting with yourselves and then go from there.
I wonder who is Emperor Barack's Leni Riefenstahl.
This Nazi regime and their propaganda ministers continue in their fascist takeover of the private sector while indoctrinating children to sing hymns to the Risen One, the ObaMessiah. Now they are creating a whole new propaganda media on top of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC plus their domination in the entire dead wood journalism sector. We have been sold out sheeple, best wake up and figure it out quick.

Seriously- if we could get rid of the democrats, WHAT PROBLEMS would we as a nation have? There would be no criminals, no parasites, no traitors, no global warming scaremongering evil treason, no bama, no franks, no scum hedge fund super rich pigs tanking markets and making gasoline cost four dollars a gallon, no malignant narcissistic sociopaths… WHY have we not understood this, and try to out-nice murderous slime? They will win if we do not act!
I don't think it's "the choir"–that would be the hardcore totalitarian leftists–as much as the zombies who just don't care about things like liberty or government control as long as there's new stuff on TV or at the mall. I guess the analogy would be the folks who show up on Christmas Eve to hear the choir but don't bother much the rest of the year.
I don't believe Obama wants to "change hearts and minds" either–he wants to control populations. Totally different.
David, read Michelle Malkin's new book on Chicago cronyism and the Obamas and then tell me a story.
Stop the propaganda – cancel your cable and new subscirptions IMMEDIATELY, and don't return until 2010 election if over at the very soonest.

No one from the left will ever admit that anything The One or his lackies do is creepy. Why? Because I have yet to meet an intellectually honest liberal. Debating them does no good—they are emotionally driven, and their logic patterns are either warped or non-existent. But that 's only a small problem—the bigger one is that the American people sold their own country out in electing these clowns at the executive and legislative levels. Why? Because the economy went south, and they were pissed about their own 401Ks. Selfish is as selfish does. You made your beds, Dems and Independents. I regret that I, as a fellow American, am forced to lie in it with you.
rigtht but it is a sablimal move for total control. every one should volunteer. but volunteer for what? reporting on you neighbor, allowing thought control and indoctrination. that is what he wants. not to help but to spread his socialism. read saul alinsky's manifesto you will see is plan in red letters. its like reading abc of total control by a centralized goverment.

Praise be to Allah that the only show I watch, NCIS, is not on the list. For those confused, the allah reference is SARCASM.
this is what happens when you elect a boy to do a man's job.
there is a fine line between volunteering and slavery. not to get all religious on you, but free will was God's gift to man. big government takes away from free will. with any government's history of imposing rules on it's people, you can't possibly tell me these -good-intentioned-paved roads obama is building is leading down but one path.

Yeah, he's going to force us all into soup kitchens to get fed if he doesn't stop destroying what's left of the economy, but the actual point is that he has no authority to force people to perform unpaid labor.
ask most any high school senior about the "mandatory volunteer requirements" for graduation, not to mention their virtual prerequisite for college admission…
I'm sorry, what is the problem with this? Heaven forbid anybody in this country be encouraged to volunteer. What is wrong with you? This isn't a propaganda scheme or mandatory program where the White House is going to make you volunteer at your local Planned Parenthood and assist in abortions. You should want to do these things, you should want your government to encourage you to volunteer in your local community, just as the government military ad campains encourage women and men to volunteer for the national gaurd, reserves, and so forth. How would it not be beneficial to volunteer for tuition? Or make volunteerism part of the process of citizenship? You are probably already a citizen anyhow. Are you that lazy and heartless that you can't even watch others volunteer? Or…gasp…what if you might recieve a tax credit for your work cleaning up the neighborhood park?! SOCIALISM! ohhh the humanity! How dare my country call on me to help!
Read the EIF document. It says this will be a "multi year campaign"
Enter text right here!And get off it with your "hard earned tax dollars" and your "impeachment." Give me a break, seriously. Is that the best you can do? Sit back and whine about your government for spending money (likely much less than it spends annually on airforce one) that encourages Americans to think about others? I am so sick…and tired…of the people of this nation insisting on remaining ignorant, lazy and cynical about anything that has to do with "the other side." Many of the people who cry "socialism!" "communism!" have never read Marx and could probably not even name one socialist country in this world…let alone accept the peace and stability of those countries. And why is it thate every time a president does something that ticks off the other side they dress him up as Hitler? It's not clever, it's moronic.
wake up. relax your trigger finger. or you can continue to be an embarassment and very poor representation of Americans to the rest of the world
Folks, you might not like me pointing this out, and that is OK. It just shows your lack of real interest in the truth and historical accuracy. Well, I haven't drunk the Kool-Aide. For over 40 years my hobby has been a study of the Second World War and how a people as intelligent and cultured as the Germans of that era permitted Adolf Hitler to gain dictatorial control of their country. What I am seeing in America right now parallels Germany of the 1930s. It is very, very scary. Better wake up, America. Don't let anyone lead and grab power by giving us people and groups of people to hate. Every dictator needs enemies to point to and blame. That causes the populace to ignore what he is really doing and planning to do.
pierider, you seem to have hit a nerve here judging by the negative rating of your comment. Can someone explain? You need TV for what… the News? (yeah right); or how about sports? (get a life!); sitcoms, reality shows, soaps, oprah? (undoubtedly where mnewman get his smarts from).
Until America takes the big screens down of the altar in its homes, it will continue its decline!
TAKE NOTE: There will be amnesty for illegals before the 2010 elections. Illegals will come out in droves to support the La Raza loving liberals — will have a liberal Oligarchy.
Ever wonder why the dems keep pushing Obamacare and another stimulus, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans oppose these things? It's because they do not fear the loss of their jobs.
Currently 47% of Americans pay NO Federal Income taxes. Add in the illegals and the collapse of the dollar and we will see a total destruction of the middle class in short order. I predict 18 months at the outside.
Then come the need for the FEMA detention centers and the show trials. 25 million capitalists need to be killed, remember?
I hope you all are starting to realize what's going on here. Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of history can see the cards lining up.
Perhaps DAvid missed the post showing how this ad campaign suggests your "volunteerism" include reading and reciting Democrat talking points and working for Democrat organizations, or perhaps he thinks that acceptable use of tax dollars.
Saul Alinski would be proud of this joke of a president.
These aren't the Droids you want….
Will these volunteers were brown shirts by any chance?
Stop telling the adults how to think and go get a job.
For Fox News info babes.
So do people really need more evidence of this Marxist's agenda? Are people this blind?
Just think, these are the same left wing facists who complained when the Bush Administration listened to terrorist phone calls. Good thing state run media is failing daily Talk radio, Fox, WSJ etc is the only real media.
And the other thing you will notice is that VolunteerMatch is mentioned, as it is on many of the postings coming up on searches at http://www.allforgood.org...
Coincidence?
you make an excellent point. there are volunteers and there are volunteerees(?), and the overwhelming preponderance of the latter are obama voters/supporters.
Let's draft James for military service and see how he likes that kind of volunteerism.
Obama….
The constant lying.
The staggering arrogance.
The dangerous narcissism.
The astounding incompetence.
The Obama Buffoon wants to put as much of the private economy under government control as possible to create his nanny state utopia where he is the boy king.
Let's continue to stand strong against Obama in every way and get Congress out of the hands of the insane Pelosi and Reid in 2010.
Obama is a smug, smirking con man. Nothing more.
I highly doubt they will take over FOX news, that is all I watch. Obama has declared he will never go on FOX, so I deem it safe to watch.
I think that they are already doing that
Are you all brainwashed into believing everything Obama does is a “Take Over”? WAKE UP, READ and stop judging and stop spinning the news the way you Obama hating people do. You’re worse then annoying journalist who splice and spin every story. Any executive could have made the same suggestion as the memo. Let me show you what they were because I’m sure more then half of you didn’t read it….
Ideally, storylines will touch on one or more of the key issues that have outlined as the country’s priorities for service.
Education and children
Health and well being
Environmental conservation and reduced energy consumption
Economic development and financial security
Support for military families
The real crime here is that they have to insert morals, earth friendly suggestions and positive messages via television so the morons can understand it when celebrities say it. “Well, Charlie said recycling is good for the planet, I guess I’ll do it too”. The other is the executives don’t offer such suggestions because it doesn’t sell. It seems that if someone isn’t getting arrest, doing drugs, getting murder, etc the mass majority (who watch tv regularly) don’t care. God forbid the President do his job and work on turning this country around. Way to turn a positive message into a negative one. Grats. Here’s your sign….
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Hope you wake up before it's too late, Allison.

I intend to sign up for volunteering. It will put me in the database so when everyone who isn't in the database is in the re-education camps, I'll be on the outside, able to assist the coming revolution.
Hate to break it to you, but TV is full of propoganda all the time. You'd be better off watching hardly any TV, as I have done for that very reason.
When the government does not control the press, the press controls the government. It is the press that turned on Hillary and brought us Obama. It is the press that hated Bush. It is the press that pushes the liberal policies. The politicians just fall in line with the wishes of the press.

ART IS NOT SERVICE IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.
art is for people with no skills to actually offer society in real service…you know that PAY. How many of the lazy blacks that collect a disproportionate part of welfare and aid do you think you will see in 'service'? It is going to be the same EARNERS of society that again pick up the slack for the lazy NIG$ERS
In the volunteer section, under "what are you interested in?" I entered "SEX", and it sent me to this:
"Whore Shoe Project ; International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers
Description: Help us remember Sex Workers that have had violence or hatred against them. That have been murdered or killed while doing their job. On December 17th, 2009 for International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, we will have an art installation of shoes from Sex Workers across the world that have had violence or hatred against them.
Tasks for Volunteers:Tasks for Volunteers: Contacting people and/or families of people that have had violence or hatred against them for being a Sex Worker. Collecting Shoes from these people, and helping to mark them, and include a brief story of what has happened."
http://myproject.serve.gov/public/OpportunityDeta...
But see, that is the great thing about our country; you shouldn't be forced, or shamed, into doing anything you don't want to do. My problem is that the government is going to tell us where to volunteer, and once they go down that slope they will require students to "volunteer" so many hours a year, then having to get it approved, thus the government determining what qualifies as community service. There was a government that required their children to do community service sanctioned by the government, I believe they were called the Hitler Youth. Then there is the whole problem with using public entities to push a political agenda, as if that is truly constitiutional. And Yes, I have read the Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, various articles by Mussolini, and a lot of what our government is doing is lock step with their philosophy; being called to serve for "the public good". Eventually it was no longer a call, it was a threat.
Hello, REAL AMERICANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING FLUCK WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS OF US!

YOU ARE A MORON, YOUR PRESIDENT IS A SOCIALIST, AND WE 'ALL' KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS….IT MEANS HE NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED, AND OUTED..HE'S AN ENEMY OF THIS COUNTRY, AND HE IS HERE ILLEGALLY…………..JUST WAIT AND SEE!
The networks and their shows are being used to do Obama's bidding. Now you know why it's called the 'Idiot Box'. I thank God that he gave me the common sense to stop watching tv.
BOHICA, baby!
President Obama….. the mystery man with no family (that we know of); no birth certificate; no college transcripts; no friends (that we know of)………. WHO IS BARACK OBAMA???? I am CONVINCED that he is an agent for outside entities. Even in his speech at the UN – it almost seemed like he was presenting a Progress Report to the people who sent him here.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Folks, this is beyond paranoia…this is the new reality.
Wake up in 2012!
This article is ridiculous, and I'm a right-winger.
First, they call Education, health, environment, and the economy "left-wing" issues. Excuse me? are we really going to surrender that way?
Then, their pathetic tie-in between volunteerism and abortion is so contrived it's laughable. Read the actual letter. It encourages good things, even conservative things. Tell Drudge to pull this link.
The "Messiah" has his Judas. He/she will surface soon. Leaked memos represent only the mild beginning. Can't wait for more. Barry "New Lies for Old" Obama wishes to brainwash (further) the American people. A true patriot (but misguided liberal) will soon emerge, and the Obama mystique will crater.
Disturbing to say the least….this orchestrated hit is coming from all directions…America will be a hollow shell in 3 years.
Apparently you don't understand basic economics or even simple cause and effect. You can't tax and spend your way out of debt.
And you're right, Obama IS "turning this country around." We HAD a prosperous, free country. Soon we'll have the opposite.
I would think that giving up something one enjoys – like TV perhaps- could be considered a kind of sacrifice. A fairly simple one – yes- but still a sacrifice. I'm not sure it's really all that "scary" that anyway might consider it such. Perhap's you've been watching too much TV yourself – drama's probably- you seem to have a flair for it.
Obama forgets he's working for us, and we are already funding our bloated govt and their overspending via the current tax burden. The media brainwashing campaign will fall flat, and Obama will be one-and-done in '12. Thank God.

Don't worry folks – none of these ads will run during "Hee-Haw" reruns or tractor pulls, so none of you will see them. Move along, please.
That was a really interesting point. I think the other shoe must be about to drop if there is any merit to the speculation here. I'm looking for the records UBS and other off shore banks have recently surrrendered to provide the opening leverage to attack sectors deemed politically miss-aligned with the current administration. So far we have not seen "Chicago politics" that I have heard about practiced fully on a national scale.
Fox News is MSM. They are just as bad as any other network on TV. Turn the TV off and read.

I've been watching lots of TV and it's not affecting me, well other than the urge to blurt, "Our president, who art in Washington, hallowed be thy change. Thy Socialism come, thy will be done, in congress as it is in Europe. Give us this day our health care plan, and forgive us our patriotism as we forgive those who increase our taxes. Lead us not into capitalism, and deliver us from freedom."
My TV has a switch on the front, it is called ON and OFF.
Tired of watching Obozo reading the teleprompter anyway.
Your post seems a bit over the top. I'm no big fan of Obama but I seriously doubt the agenda is as nefarious and devious as your post makes it sound. Lighten up Francis.
I thought something was not sitting right in my gut when I see Disney offering a free ticket to their parks if you offer your service to one of these organizations.
Gawwwleee – I hope that they do not run this during "Hee-Haw" or "The Beverly Hillbillies"!

The picture of Obama gives you the creeps? Do you realize how immature and dumb that sounds?
Proposing volunteerism is a no lose call for any politician.
Calling out for an army of volunteers is scary. It denotes a measure of blind control.
Being driven to political sites through a complaisent media under the disguise of heartfelt volunteerism opportunity is deceitful and criminal, morally if not legally.
The real problem is that the folks reading this article, whether for or against, are not the issue. The issue is all those morons out there that actually get a majority of their information and political views from sitcom television.
you people are silly. you're afraid of volunteering. ooooOOOOOOoooo Obama's going to make you go to a soup kitchen oooOOOOOoooo. y'all are some p*ssy's. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
James, I would rather be a p*ssy than a c*mmie!
Why do the conversations of volunteerism, and service, get brought up as if they were a new thought process? Or, does the US military – made up of volunteers who often give a LIFETIME of service – not count?
Curious.

I'm not so sure this is a bad thing. For instance, after learning of this campaign, I've decided to pitch in! I'm going to give my money and time to National Right to Life, anti-same-sex marriage groups, conservative evangelical Christian churches, the NRA and Pat Robertson! I participate!
I've yet to meet a conservative who called himself a "right-winger."
Let me guess, you're a long-time listener of Rush Limbaugh, too.
Umm…the PRESIDENT. His job is to make civil harmony among the citizens…among other things. If you actually READ the article instead of stewing crap like the rest of these fools, you would see the memo had suggestions. POSITIVE/ BENEFICIAL suggestions. Let me show you what they were again…

Don't want graft and corruption, don't vote for an incumbent…
We, the American voters, are at fault. We support graft and corruption by voting them back into office.
Hey Breit – good job on some of the exposure – but what about the truth about 9/11? what about the truth about Obama's citizenship? what about the truth that all this left vs. right nonsense is just theatre while behind the scenes the P'sTB are implementing their plan and destroying America? Has anyone who doubts my premises ever wondered how it got so screwed up and why it seems few are able to affect any substantial change?
Vote them out? They'll be replaced and the replacements will be corrupted in no time, despite the best of intentions, or else they will abandon the den of thieves and sellouts for peace of mind and a more tolerable work environment.
Obama is the greatest threat to freedom since world war two,This marxist president has done what every tin horn dictator in south america has done .
He is following the lead of his mentor Hugo Chavez,Like Chavez he has taken over private businesses,dictates pay for private business,he has taken over the auto industry,he wants to silence any news outlet that disagrees with him (Chavez just shut down the most watched television station because they spoke out against him.)
He says he wants a citizens army that is just as well funded as our armed forces.
Obama is destroying the economy on purpose because he doesnt like the idea of america being the strongest nation on earth and wants america to be equals with the third world countries.
My hope is that america will wake up and remove this thug from office.
Don't want graft and corruption, don't vote for an incumbent…

Isn't there a plan to require a year of service from our youngsters after ha schrool?
have you seen the TV commercials with the paramilitary type kids in formation, all wearing the red jackets identifying them as volunteers to improve the city the live in.
http://www.seacoastonline.com/articles/20091002-N...
The story says they've been in business a decade, gotta admit I've never seen a formation of youngsters doing the daily 7 before getting to work.
I am waiting for them to mandate that all US citizens are to stand before their TVs for 1 hr and listen to BIG BROTHER dictate what is good,what is bad,who to report to the BIG BROTHER. Does this sound a little familiar?
Seems this was written about in a popular novel.
Vote out all incompetent incumbents !

And I am sure Hitler wasn't taking over the German Auto Industry, Banks, and Health Care; he was just "turning them around". Here is the problem, politicing through publicly run media. As if we don't get it enough through the "news", commercials, and our public schools; now they want to inject it even more into our daily lives. I just want one area of my life that the government doesn't have is greasy hands on, but with this administration, and even the Bush administration, it is getting more and more difficult to do that.
Yes, any exec could have thought of those, but it was the leader of the EIF telling the top networks to run the same thing; which is ironically the same thing this administration is pushing us to do. I severly doubt that there wasn't a WH correspondant involved in this decision.
I can't take this crap. Every day's stunt is worse than the previous day. We need an overhaul of 95% of Washington "PUBLIC SERVANTS" or we're gonna wake up in 1984. My God, this government has gotten out of control. I think I'll mail them some copies of their job description (the constitution). I'm not sure they've read it. "MMM-MMM-MMM Barack-Hussein-Obama"

I’m not sure I follow your disagreement, albeit a lukewarm one, in my use of terminology. The current political ideological war is between right and left. It really always has been. I’ve seen very few people of the political left who have a problem with what the current administration is doing. Conversely, I know many on the right, including myself, who had considerable problems with President Bush, particularly with his domestic policies, and we were quite vocal about them.
Now if the paradigm you speak of is a republican/democrat or non-statist/statist one, then we have agreement. We should support those candidates who are constitutionalists first, regardless of party affiliation.

So sad. I volunteer time and money often. I am a conservative christian and that is what my values would have me do. Ironic that those two principles are being demonized by Obama and his cronies in the media. They will destroy them if they can. Yet they DO want us to volunteer our time, and will take our money to spread it around whether we want them to or like where its going or not. The difference is they want me to do it for Obama, instead of Christ Jesus. What they don't like is our not viewing BHO and the federal government as our personal saviours. Scary, sad, and very very pathetic…
[...] Read more at Breitbart [...]
Ditto. But a few of the shows surprised me. I really did not think that many of them woul get suckered into this.
Coincidentally, I do not think there is anything wrong with volunteering your time for a good cause–I've been doing it since high school. But once you have the government trying to steer you in this direction (to their so-called good causes), you should run in the opposite as fast as you can.
I'd rather the actual Borg did assimilate us, at least they had some semblance of intelligence and purpose. All we have now are revolutionaries that can't think 5 years in front of their faces. Really figured out how to break the Republic, not really sure what to do after that. Like going fishing for a marlin for the first time, knowing the basics of fishing but not really certain what to do once the leviathan latches on.
this is your brand of humor, right? You can't possibly be that stupid at this point in the game.
And you are stupid!

Want to change this country in a matter of 24 hours and shut down the state run media? Unplug! Take Neo's advice and unplug yourself from the Cable Matrix! If half of the conservatives alone in this country made a commitment to cancel their cable TV by the end of this month..you would see a change in programming within a month. We live in a time where power lies in your wallet not in your government or in your voting or civil rights. It is a time is to act not talk, complain, or write blogs on conservative web sites. Truth alone does not save you. You must act on the truth.

Ok, I hate people who do this, but I can't stop myself.
If you want taken seriously….it's spelled sarcasm. And I apologize, I just couldn't stop myself.
Now, lets go back and read the article together, shall we?
"On its face this all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way. "
You got that part right? Sure sounds like you did.
Now go back and read all the parts after it, how actually *doing* what they suggest leads you to the Jeopardy category, "Folks who politically associate with ACORN" up to and including the nuttiest of left-side wing-nuts, the Truthers.
You're demanding someone "read the article" in same breath you display only a cursory knowledge of the content yourself. That's ironic, but not sarcasim.
For reference, the previous sentence *is* sarcasm, in a punny sort of way.
Ok, I'm ashamed of myself, I'll go wash my keyboard out with soap now.

Of course, Soros funds just about any left/socialist cause out there. Google his name along with, say, the Tides Foundation, Acorn, SEIU, the NEA, etc. Better yet, google Soros and the name of any of the current "czars". I haven't yet not found a link.
Mr. Breitbart, I sure hope you and your associates are investigating Soros.

I stopped watching television in February of 2007. Big Brother will have to wash my brain some other way. All kidding aside, however, this is scary. I cringe at bringing up the parallels with Orwell's Ministry of Truth – but there's no helping it because it's true. This is really freaking me out.

[...] LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set [...]
When you stare into the Obama, the Obama stares into you.
When I read my hometown newspaper, The Tennessean, I get anything but the indication that it is a "red" state. I have never read so much venom against freedom as I have in Nashville's newspaper.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!
What would a dedicated enemy do to take down America? WWII and the cold war showed it could not be done by direct force or intimidation, so the next attempt is to do it internally. Weaken the things that make America strong, abandon our allies, attack the strength of the dollar, nationalize key businesses, socialize health care, and subject a society that supports freedom and the rights of all citizens to Marxism.
Obama wants America to fail…

What's that bumper sticker I see now and again:
KILL YOUR TELEVISION!
Might be a good time for that, eh?
Funny, Obama has Obama Youth monitoring emails and social networking sites, flooding blogs with pro-obama stuff and now propaganda on TV. Still, his approval ratings are crashing. Those of you who voted for this idiot, repent and you will be forgiven.
The question in America now is: How do we peacefully remove this moron dictator from power? MUST we wait for the next election? If another election was held tomorrow, Obama would be trounced by just about anyone…
Remember the outrage over the Obama's school speech? Conservatives were all over that one before it happened, and as a result, he made a bland speech, and then the media could laugh at what a bunch of hysterical fear mongers us conservatives are. I think we should keep that in mind with this subject. Let's quietly watch what these shows do before we start clamoring for boycotts and loss of sponsorship. It's an easy trap that conservatives shouldn't fall for more than once. Let the liberals cross the line, then hammer them, but not before.
Who cares? This is no different than Bush asking people to volunteer. These right-wingnuts are just grasping on this one.
I pray everyday that God removes Obama from office. How He does it is His concern.
You cannot overestimate the depths of human stupidity.
But you can place bets on it.
This is nothing new, repub or dem. All of them have been doing this for years. As I have told many on the right during Bush's long haul……
All the powers and non sense they let Bush get away with is now in the hands of a dem. You think anyone would do anything other than what Obama is doing? The more power gov. gets the more they want, and this kind of brain washing is how it starts. I can't wait for America to wake up and get past the he said she said non sense (repub vs. dems) and see the truth. All political parties do is use each other for a distraction on the crimes they want to push on our great nation. Bush did it a lot and now it is the dems turn with Obama.I don't disagree with the message but I do disagree with gov. pushing it. Our leaders learned a lot form Hitler and his propaganda machine.

I don't see anything wrong with any of this. And if concern for education, health, the environment, and the economy are idenitifiably "left-of-center" issues, well, I guess that's why we now have the government we do. Maybe if the "right-of-center" had paid more attention to these issues over the past eight years the American people wouldn't have such a mess to clean up.
oh no. there's such a thing as volunteerism? Community service? Being a good citizen and making the world a better place? I'm scandalized. If any of you self-serving, small-minded fear mongers get hit by a flood or hurricane I hope some volunteers show up to help you out. Volunteering – it's not about government, not about political party, it's about doing the right thing. At least we have a political party that promotes doing the right thing. And all this idiotic talk of communism has got to stop. Do your homework. Nothing going on today in this country is remotely close, and will not be. Drop your hate buzzwords. Your ignorance is showing.
Much ado about nothing. The hero worship of this obama person borders on cultism. The country would be better served to stop worrying about what this guy wants, read the Constitution and work on ways to get gov't out of the business of screwing everything up. We never had problems with volunteerism or service before.
I suspect Serve.gov is being used to recruit the members for ACORN Reloaded.

Anymore evidence needed that this phony, punk Chicago thug is a commie? He's trying to shove everything right down our throats. This guy is down right evil. He's trying to destroy our economy, make people dependent on government, and change this country to a european type socialist/communist country. He's a muslim too. He's given millions to Hamas, is going to let the Russians come on down and see where our nuclear arsenal is! What a freaking idiot. He's disarming us. My God this guy is a nightmare. Right from within he's taking us down. Something bad is going to happen to us I mean an attack before long. Maybe that's what it's going to take to take this adminstration down.

Glad I am a SyFI/History Channel/Discovery Channel/Food Network viewer after reading that list. Is anyone going to report on how much this is costing the tax payers?
Here are a List of Shows and Stars that are Participating, according to the EIF website:
Eight stars from the four major broadcast networks – ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC – join together in new public service announcement that encourages viewers to tune in to an unprecedented week of television, October 19 -25, as part of EIF’s iParticipate national initiative to promote service and volunteering.
Simon Baker (CBS’ The Mentalist), Emily Deschanel (FOX’s Bones), Eva Longoria Parker(ABC’s Desperate Housewives), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (CBS’ The New Adventures of Old Christine), Masi Oka (NBC’s Heroes), Michael Strahan (FOX’s Brothers), Kate Walsh (ABC’s Private Practice), and Rainn Wilson (NBC’s The Office) are featured in the 30-second spot, which reinforces that great change begins with small choices and one decision to change leads to others. The spot ends by encouraging people to tune-in starting October 19 to find out how the networks are participating. The PSA was produced by filmmaker Jesse Dylan, with his agency FreeForm. It begins airing the week of September 28 on all four broadcast networks.
Here is the Press Release on EIF:

God wouldn't accept the Nobel Peace Prize, either.
This entire Obama…..thing…..has been creepy since he started runningfor the state senate in Illinois. Read "The Case Against Barack Obama" , it's scary and creepy, and it would be funny if this bozo hadn't gotten his socialist mitts on the Oval Office.
I am not ready for Obama to shove down my throat the "art of service" and who Obama thinks I should provide a service to. As a responsible and self reliant member of society I already choose who to help, and yes, I am sure I have helped some liberals along the way. I already donate money to the Red Cross and my free time to the university I graduated from. When there is a disaster I already go out and help those that need it.
This is turning out to be way too much Obama and way too much government interference in my life for me to handle. I look forward to finding out what channels these "service announcements" will happen so I can spend time doing something else.
When I see this myriad of so called initiatives I really wonder if there is any priority to what our President and Congress is working from. Maybe I am out of touch, but it seems to me we should be putting all efforts on the Economy, National Defense, Foreign Policy, and a range of others.
i'm not a fan either but "take down this administration"?!?!
how about being the loyal opposition and putting pressure on the elected?
The town halls and protest marches are effective
write letters, e-mail, make calls
elect better people in the next elections
you run the risk of looking like a loon when you talk of taking them down
OK…we all know whats happening…I am going to turn off the TV and tell everyone I know to do the same thing.

What's the difference between the Gov "influencing" the content of our channels versus the 6 or 7 corporations that run the media in this country? These corporations already decide what we view and don't view, what corresponds with our "values" and what doesn't? Another scare tactic…
People get on to Obama for doing nothing, but then when he tries to do something everyone goes berzerk…."how dare he try to speak to our schoolchildren?!?!"
When Bush was in office we had to sift through the "moral" lectures and the expanded powers of the Presidency and Faith-Based Organizations, and the taking away of our 4th amendment right with the Patriot Act. There's no brainwashing here….it's called "being in power."
Forget the million person march, that does not get their attention. It is time to organize a serious tax revolt, with millions of taxpayers participating! These crooks would have no power without our money. Let's find a way to curtail their access to our money! We have to stop this march to Marxism….NOW! REMEMBER, OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE PAVING THE WAY OF THIS MARCH TO MARXISM!
Sounds good but… when the "Judas" appears the media will tell the sheep he is a secret part of the vast Right wing conspiracy.

what does history repeating itself have anything to do with my comment? On the contrary, you are a "cog" in the great American machine of cynicism towards anything that is "liberal." Why do you have a problem with government asking, not requiring, Americans to volunteer? Much like we are asked, not required, to serve in the armed forces?
Yes, much as the world did during Bush's power grab.
I have turned off all mainstream networks and yes today I have decided this includes sports especially football and basketball – I am just sick over this continuing barrage. Americans do not need to hear this stuff about participating – When is this president going to acknowledge the greatness of the people of this great country and stop the covert indoctrination of our youth and the simple minded. I understand Obama is at the Bush Library at A&M tomorrow to kick this-off this service program and I am sure he will be met with some folks participating. We must stand and be counted and stop this move towards our monetary and social destruction. We are sprinting towards socialism, giving up security and identity along the way.
We can't get rid of Obama. That would put Pelosi one seat closer to the big chair.
But why is doing good in a public setting automatically bad because it was used by communists? Why can't people within a democracy be asked to serve the communities? It is not a requirement, and if it were a requirement in exchange for, say, tuition, how is that not beneficial?
I noticed something like this last week on "New Adventures of Old Christine" – mentioned Healthcare, lack of insurance, why are so many people uninsured, blah, blah, blah……… I asked my husband to change the channel, because I didn't want to be "beat over the head" with propaganda. It sounds like this is going to be the same kind of full court press.

Unfortunately… Barack seems to have missed the fact that, as he is attempting to implement his teacher's steps to socialism in order to "fundamentally change the United States of America… our country is unique in the world as it is a country founded upon a hunger and determination to acquire and maintain freedom. Why else is it that we have millions of people from other countries flocking to our shores seeking the Gifts that only America has to offer rather than masses of Americans fleeing our borders? Hell, even the Hollywood morons like Streisand and Alec Baldwin never make good on their threats to leave… although many of us wish they would.
The question the followers of Barack and those who are critical of our freedoms yet flock here to escape their own countries should ask themselves is this:
If Barack and his minions succeed in fundamentally changing this country (and creating yet another socialist world)… where else will they go to find what so many who live here take for granted and what those who come here are looking for?

So what's new? Entertainment has been tainted with left wing messages for quite some time now. I rarely watch TV, and stick to my DVD player. As far as requiring service, that's old news too. Many Middle and High Schools require a certain number of volunteer hours in order to graduate. These organizations are chosen by the school boards; you cannot volunteer through your church or choose your own cause. This campaign of 'promoting service' is only to promote left-wing causes. So, if we do decide to take them up on their urging, donate or volunteer for Conservative and/or neutral causes like visiting that Cat lady down the street and maybe fixing her squeaky door. Yet, this is something we already do anyway! And we don't do it to make ourselves 'feel good', as Gwyneth Paltrow says in her PSA, "It's the best thing you can do for YOURSELF." We do it for others, without recognition. Just as our Military does, and our Clergy.

Oh, by the way, watching the TV induces Alpha and Theta Brain Waves – the very brain waves that are accessed during hypnosis. These brain waves are known as the subconscious mind; the subconscious mind is the mind that is open to receive information/indoctrination.
So putting this propaganda on TV is the same as using hypnosis to influence the audience to think a certain way about something.

good god. how do you get from promoting volunteerism to a volunteer army to communism to big brother? you paranoid whackadoos need to find another hobby. when bush listened to your phone calls and screened your emails and came this close to reinstating the draft no one said a word. but obama puts out a public call to service and you think your somehow being brainwashed? i agree, government should not control the airwaves. but unless and until i see better evidence of it, and unless it's for some negative purpose, i think i'll give it the benefit of the doubt. call me crazy, then go look in the mirror.
I thumbed up you, but someone took it.
I won't be watching tv during that time; I guess that makes me a racist-so be it.
Save the environment. Turn off your TV. Creepy Obama will be appearing on your TV for the Halloween. Obama will direct you straight to Planned Parenthood.
Liberalism is all about control. There is nothing "liberal" about it. They want to control your speech, your actions, your thoughts, your movements, your doctors, your money, your diet, your employers, and your children.
Volunteering is wonderful. It's VERY American. Americans have ALWAYS been the first ones in line to help out those in need all over the world, and have rarely been as much as thanked for it. But there's a place to go to look for volunteering opportunities. It's called your local church. Go there and volunteer. the issue is that this is an underhanded and devious way of promoting service through weaving messages into these storylines. They think we're sheep and will be swayed because our TV heroes tell us that we should do such and such. What will they be telling us next? Should we be volunteering to go to work without being paid, and that Obama will take care of our needs? Will our kids come home from school with a story that they're getting pressured to volunteer from their teachers and that we have to find time to help them out with this? Or that we're a "bad family" because we're working for our money instead of volunteering to help others while depending on the government? It's a slippery slope when this kind of thing gets started. How about if this catches on? Soon we have entire shows centered around how wonderful the government is — the heroes are community organizers who have to fight off the evil capitalists, or that spout off the pleasures of working your entire life for the advancement of the Federal Government. Sounds like the USSR in the 80s. I've been feeling that all these little nips and nudges are trying to see how much the American public will take. Hey, let's have a nice touchy-feely message to the kids in America to explain how important going to school and doing your part is. Cool. Everyone OK with that? Wonderful. It worked out so well, let's do it again! How about once a month? That OK? Heck, this President has a real rapport going with the youth of the country. Maybe a weekly address is in order! Then suddenly your kids are coming home and asking why YOU aren't doing your part! Does this sound paranoid? Did we expect all this a year ago? Did we expect that the government would take over the banking industry, the auto industry and have their finger on the button to take over the health care system?
I guess I'm a racist then. I won't be watching tv at that time; I don't feel like being brainwashed.
if anyone looks at my avitar, and knows who it is, will realize that it fits the POS POTUS to a tee
Dearest David…You are missing the point. It isn't "unAmerican" to volunteer. The issue is when one is forced to "volunteer" it is no longer an act of kindness or compassion. When one is forced to participate in mandated activities, coordinated and directed by an ilk with ulterior motives, it is dictatorship. "Johnny" who also addressed your remarks is right on target. I refuse to relinquish my "free will". Many, if not all, of the "suggested" organizations are extreme liberal entities. I will never compromise my integrity, morals, beliefs or convictions by associating myself with certain entities. I am a proud hard working patriotic American who will never be enslaved. I also agree with other posts that spending tax payers dollars for this propaganda is totally unacceptable . Regardless of the economic times and the hardships many Americans are experiencing actions such as this will further divide this great Nation.
well less tv we will be watching Oboma is a creepy nut
(con't) Unfortunately, those of us who don't agree with this type of indoctrination will be called racist, unAmerican, etc. just because we disagree with a "forced concept". It's a sad time for America when the common mantra is because you have a mind of your own you are a racist.

This is something you see in Communist-Fascist States. I recall Soviet-Culture briefings when in the military and this type of concept was prevalent in their culture.
Kick the morons out? That's what we did in 2006 and 2008!
Once again, the pinhead lefties miss the point. It's not about volunteerism (and by the way, the lefties have been trying to destroy the Boy Scouts for years). It's about using government resources to influence participation left wing political organizations which coincidentally donate large sums of money to the Democrat Party. Imagine if Bush started a government program to draw kids into serving the NRA or the 700 Club. You lefties would go into seizures.
For a long time now I rarely watch anything but FOX news. I want to know the truth and what's the next disaster coming our way from this socialist administration.
Hypothetically, would you or any libs object if Obama actually did start forcing people to "volunteer" for your causes?
I see we are getting more trolls here,
at least they are allowed to remain.
Go to their sites and you get banned.
Wow, the real "Organic" Astro-Turf… what a hoot! LOL!
These Fascists are all the same and use the same M.O.
I second that!
You are right on. The true essence of volunteerism is free will. Volunteerism – Free Will = Slavery. It really is that simple. Coersion is an effective tool for those who promote slavery, but the proof of that is just in that dusty old historical stuff that we're supposed to disregard now.
Question: Would Hollywood moguls have been so nonchalant if the Bush administration had asked them for something like this?
Amen to that! I quit watching TV in 1994 when I had a job working nights. After three months of giving up the tube, I can't watch it anymore. Seriously, if you stop watching TV for three months and then go back to it, you'll be surprised at how insulting the level of programming is. I truely believe that watching TV has a negative effect on your level of intelligence.
You know what is so amazing about the comments I've read so far…? Not that the comments are right ( because they are). Not that these comments deal with FACTUAL data (unlike the vague & obtuse generalities the Left-Wing Radicals love to display). It's the fact that we make clear, concise, logical statements that completely disintegrate all Liberal ideals without stooping to foul language or ridiculous name calling. And we actually write our comments grammatically correct, unlike most of the uneducated sheep that follow the Liberal agenda. Seriously, have any of you read some Liberal blogs lately?
He thinks he's Jesus. His supporters sure treat him that way.
And they're kind of right thinking that way. Who's going to stop him?
Am I the only person who is seriously bothered by how poorly written the EIF memo is? If promoting the government's vision of service is important enough to highjack the network shows for a week, isn't it important enough to hire a decent writer to write the memo? This may seem like a small point, but I find it very insulting that the people who want to tell me how to spend my free time can't even figure out how to write a memo.
I think service and volunteerism are great, but I'm uncomfortable when the government goes to such efforts to coerce and manipulate the citizens into providing community service. It may sound like a good idea for the government to promote volunteerism, but they shouldn't be going to such lengths to control the message and to channel people into their targeted service areas. It's just creepy.

Community Service? Where have I heard that before (Hint: Germany circa 1933).
All praise the "DEAR LEADER"…….Its just a matter of time ….we've already lost!!!!!
Bush was the slow train to hell and Obeyme is the fast one. They are both smirking altruist collectivist destroyers. Where is John Galt?
By the time it's staring you in the face it's too late. It's one thing to stand up on a dais and tell the American people we should love one another, support each other, encourage us to give to charities and volunteer to do something good. I could get behind that. Sounds like a good pastor. It's quite another to weave this message into the stories of popular TV shows in an effort to influence people. You think we're paranoid? Look at how many things have changed in the past year, how much the government has gotten their hands into, how much they WANT to get their hands into, and then come back and tell me we're paranoid. You're damned right we're paranoid. We should all be. Had we been so a year ago we wouldn't be in the sorry mess we're in now.
Just throw out your TV, stop going to the movies and donate all the money you save to help someone in need.
THE DECLINE & FALL OF AMERICA IS IMMANENT.
AND FOR THOSE TV ADDICTS, BOYCOTT EVERY SPONSOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE OBAMA HOUR.
Great.. something ELSE to boycott besides all NFL games.. I might end up with an actual LIFE if I turn off the tv THIS much

Good grief people. If you watch TV at all you are being "indoctronated". Everything has a "slant" to it. Do you not think advitisers are trying to get you to use and or buy their product? Do I agree that this is not the best way to approach giving service to others, yes, but wake up, this is going on everyday of your life, regardless of where you are. TV, Billboards, buses, park bench seats, store windows, the interent etc… All of these things are part of the indoctronation or will of others. You have to decide what you believe in and move forward with your life. If you don't vote, don't complain. If you don't check out the facts, don't complain.
THIS IS SUCH BS.
Goodness —- but then have you seen the GARBAGE that's one TV — the networks apparently have lost control.
I am sure that some should monitor the stuff that's on – especially this "reality" (fake reality) TV ….
I took control over my TV long ago…. After a series of strikes by the Actors Guild — I only watch 3 shows —well make that 4.
1. Glee (after yesterdays episode on sex & race and hate — maybe not anymore)
2. Burn Notice
3. Nip Tuck
4. NCIS Los Angels ( love LL Cool J)
That's it folks!
And the same reason why Bush was never impeached…. Could any imagine this country run by his VP? That was scary too lol. We need new politics in this country. Like say what the founding fathers had in their minds.
Tennessee is the Volunteer State – therefore they Volunteer the most?
Using that logic, Montana is the Big Sky State. They must have the biggest sky.
It looks more and more like 1930's Germany!
Yeah, God forbid that anyone should even think of performing service to better our country ! It's a left wing conspiracy to promote Christian ideals ! They have a lot of nerve to go against the republican credo "I've got mine, FUCK YOU !" How dare they suggest that any American should put aside the pursuit of personal wealth and do something for anyone else ! Next thing you know, they'll ask you to pledge allegiance to the flag and our great country ! The bastards ! And BTW, the article doesn't say that Obama ordered the EIF to do anything. They decided themselves to promote service to the country. Guess the idea that Obama is controlling the media is just one more republican lie …
Boy Efin Cott!
George Bush couldn't put a sentence together, let along think of something like this. Obama, G. Bush, Mickey Mouse…doesn't matter, what I said, still stands.
Maybe we should just shoot his teleprompter!
Of course the news media like MSNBC which is hemmoraging viewers gets some of those millions to make up for the advertising revenue lost…
I can avoid buying a product I don't like.
I can't avoid paying taxes to a government I don't like.
Here's the question – why does the right see so many positives as negative? First, the Olympics not coming was good? And Boehner sayd the Dow hitting 10,000 isn't 'significant' and Obama winning the Nobel is bad. And now that Obama is for Education, health, environment, the economy, support for military families, service and volunteerism – the right wing is against those ideas and principles. Why? Because the right wing has no spine, no principles and they hate America. They want America to fail. They liked 'heckuva job' Bush and all the disasters he brought us and to like Bush they must actively want America to fall, to fail, to decline and be tossed into history's wastecan.
Yet they think of themselves as 'patriots?' they're not.
actually, that is your logic, not mine. I didn't say it is called The Volunteer State, therefore they volunteer most. I think that was you. What I said is nobody volunteers like Tennesseans. Having moved here five years ago, I have had the opportunity to observe that first hand . . . and, unlike many hollywood actors, they volunteer regardless who is in office. I have been to Montana, though. The open prairies, and lack of skyscrapers do tend to give the impression of a "big" sky. Gosh, maybe there is something to those pesky state nicknames.
I've heard, though not verified, that Anthony sometimes means "make or silly internet comments."
It is very affordable to live in Tennessee and there is no state income tax.
Boomer….Why doesn't everyone collecting welfare and living in subsidized housing get off their arse and volunteer. I am too busy working and paying way too much taxes to support these people.
Obama is out to destroy the USA as we know it. He has already sold out the dollar at the G-20 conference. His picture above looks like the anti-christ with that smirk on his face. I don't trust him. One day the Democrats will realize what they have done. Almost time for pitchforks and torches
From day one I told my husband that 2008 was the last presidential election we might have, he didn't believe me, but now he is starting to have doubts. Between Soros, Rahm, Obama, Chavez and the usual leftist suspects, we are in for a rocky ride.
You vill report promptly at 7 AM tomorrow for your voluntary service. Pliz make sure your papers are in order. If you do not report we vill be reviewing your status as a citizen; you know, of course, your future well being and that of your family vill depend on a proper attitude to your beloved leader. Have a nice day !
I don't need "feely good" TV program to tell me or my children to Volunteer…I'm already too busy doing it on my own. I donate platelets, 20 hrs a month at the USO, work full-time. I have a son who joined our "all volunteer" armed forces, another son in law enforcement, and a daughter that helps the under privileged, they were raised with the "do for other" mentality…so we don't need someone prodding us on "how to be a better citizen".
Ah, but you can. You just have to face the consequenses for doing so.
Better idea, how about a week of showing people how capitalism works, how if you do things on your own and don't wait for your handout, you can actually take pride in your accomplishments…because you did it ALL ON OUR OWN.

Nope, it will be the same if you don't provide yourself with health care, you pay a fine to the IRS…Same if you don't fill your yearly quota of "volunteering"
Our teachers are already getting the 'Volunteer' information. It does not include the volunteer projects our church does. It only includes approved projects if your child wants credit.
I thank GOD for this small town and small school with Christian teachers. None that were blinded by his light past February. So many are now disgusted that they voted for him.
This is typical. Leftist can't believe that something exists until they think of it. Americans donate billions of dollars every year to charitable organizations as well as staffing the volunteer ranks of same organizations. Boy Scouts, Shriners, Veterans Service Organizations, hospital volunteers, museum docents, churches, the list is endless!
The difference is these volunteers don't seek credit or recognition, and that is TRUE service!
Nicole… RIGHT ON!!! Family 'fun and games' night, family 'visit to the park to pick up litter' night , 'neighborhood party' night, family 'visit the nearest nursing home' night, etc. any of these would be better than the indoctrination the prez has planned.

Someone wake me up when its time to kick ass and break shit.
I wonder if the Monk TV show was on this list. One of th latest shows this season has Monk being cut off from his Psychiatrist by his insurance company. It was clearly a push for Obamacare and a slam on private insurance with perfect timing.
Who still watches t.v.? that is so 80's!
If you object to this nonsense, Obama will send you a check for $250 to make everything better.
I am watching Glen Beck. Commercial. Anita Dunn is insane. GET THESE COMMUNISTS OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT!!! Folks, we must pray for this country. I'm so angry and so sad at the same time. We must stand strong together in our common beliefs and principles.
These are the very same jackels who avoid paying taxes imposed on everyone else. I wonder if they'll take the same approach to volunteering?
I bet you that we have differences on pretty much all of those points because of our political affiliations. So, why would I want to try be indocrinated by all of those T.V. shows to what they think I should believe about about each of these areas? I think we should defund the Department of Education and let the local government be concerned about the needs of their education, not a "one size fits all" beaurocrat. I believe we should let health coverage be an a la carte plan like auto insurance, allow citizens to purchase a plan from anywhere in the country, and have employers give tax credits so people can buy their own private plan and not rely on their employer. I think we have made great strides in environmental conservation, our water is cleaner, our air is cleaner, and we have plenty of wilderness to cherish.
But, global warming is crap, SUVs and trucks should still be produced, and CAFE standards cost lives. I think the government should cut taxes for EVERYBODY, rich people make jobs, not beaurocrats, we should do a flat tax, and we should rely on charities to help the poor, not the government. And our military families are some of the greatest Americans, God bless them, and lets let groups like the USO help them out even more. Not political huh?
Sarge..I tip my hat to you sir!

This post was supposed to be attached further up the line – with the Socialist handbook quote… ((sigh))
OK, you don't want your tax dollars spent, and now a call for service or volunteering is wrong, then please tell me what the plan is?
Where I live, we take responsbility for our community by volunteering and serving.
We have got to vote these creeps out.
I am LIVID that the exceptionally small number of shows that I actually watch are on the list. Talk about messing up one of my few joys on television, way to completely ruin a series for me.
And this B.S. about "It was OK when Bush did it, so it's OK when we do" just doesn't fly! It wasn't right then, and it's not right now! I don't need government propaganda WRITTEN INTO THE SCRIPT of shows I watch! The commercials would be bad enough.
I've had it with the Commies running this country. And all you left wing idiots who think this is all great need to actually crack open a history book–Stalin killed his own most trusted followers regularly. Buying into the program doesn't buy you any special status. You'll be just as hosed as everyone else. It's sad to see the greatest country that has ever existed being systematically destroyed by Communists.
No problem, you will never hear and learn unless you have true dialogue. But to answer your point, volunteering is good, more people should do it so we could rely less on government. My wife and I volunteer with inner-city children, teaching them to read, do math, and play music. But I am not going to shame my neighbor because he wont or cant, it is not my place. I would rather persuade by example instead of trying to indoctrinate them into serving for "the greater good". We all have different views of what that good is, everyone should be left to decide for themselves not the EIF. Some people don't have time to volunteer, but they can donate to a charity and do just as much good as spending time in the community. If we keep getting taxed out the @$$ by our dear leaders charities will suffer, and the people who really need help will loose out.
My problem is that this administration is going down a slipper slope, and I have no doubt that obama will require community service as part of an education. You do what they tell you to do, "serve" where they tell you to serve, or you don't graduate. History does have a nasty way of repeating itself. Or for better refference, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."
Flashpoint, the movie is The Twilight Zone. I believe the slow shuttle you speak of gets in a "wreck", i.e. national "crisis" and is then on a fast track to be "saved" by the socialists in position in the WH. If you didn't see Beck today, catch him this weekend. I am now certain we are in for a very rocky ride.
I think it looks like Chavez is giving him a cornholio!
Cue the 60's song….there's gonna be a revolution….
Go to hell you dumbass. You just don't get it do you?? WHY the fuck would the president want his hand in EVERY part of your life? Because he is a commie. When is your president going to stop campaigning anyway?
Wish you were in Houston, I would be happy to fix your lib attitude. You all wont be happy unti children can have gay sex in school, talk about it, and then the the teachers can marry them.
You are so right old guy! The repubs are not innocent. They are so delighted Fox news is stirring the pot for them.
What we are witnessing is the Obama Civil Defense Force taking shape!
So The Fairness Doctrine should apply to this, right?
I am actually glad they are pushing volunteerism. That way all the people Obama's economic policies have and will put out of work will have something to do.
We only use our T.V. for violent on-line video games where we get to punch, kick and shoot other people in preparation of the coming civil revolution. Thanks anyway though, and if it's any consolation, I'm sure your story has helped to speed up the impending doomsday scenario.
Why turn the TV off? Just plug in an Xbox and blow shit up. it feels really good! :0

Allison….Why doesn't everyone collecting welfare and living in subsidized housing get off their arse and volunteer. I am too busy working and paying way too much taxes to support these people. I do not need the government telling me to volunteer. I also do not need my tax dollars being wasted telling me to volunteer.I volunteer quite often. Boy scouts, youth soccer play ground building etc. Volunteer for tuition, more tax dollars? How about working and earning your own money for your tuition money. Cleaning up the park please see my first sentence. I am sorry but if everyone practiced personal responsibility majority of this volunteering would not be necessary.
Not Castle and Heroes….looks like a night of BBC America again…Shame on Captain Reynolds.
Crash the system, I know this sounds crazy but we're caught up in a preplaned cycle. The left thinks that the FreeInterprizers will keep things going as long as the can/are alowed to. The people that create jobs and wealth will think that they are helping "We the People " by keeping things going as best that they can. Break the cycle now when both sides are not preparred for it and keep it broken while they fight it out and then when both sides are out of steam reclaim our freedom.

Conservatives give far more time and money to charitable causes than liberals. And they do it without the government compelling them to do so.

Don't tel me America is waking up!! It is about time! As a Canadian I am so happy that you see ! Obama is trying to turn you into a bunch of socialists.
And how long until you see regular visits to your home by the "CSC" (civilian service core) especially when you have preschool-aged children. This of course, would be for "education" and "health care" and will be required visits in order to get your mandatory government-mandated "benefits." It's already here!
I have been writing about this on Politico and breitbart that you cannot trust Hollywood. This stuff has already been going on but I guess they're going to step up their propaganda now. We have got to put them out of business and that means STOP WATCHING THE NETWORKS. If you think this is bad, just wait!
We're about to find out.
Look what these scum have done to Rush Limbaugh by reporting a bunch of lies about him. The only way to make them stop is to STOP BUYING THEIR PAPERS AND STOP WATCHING THEIR TV SHOWS.
A bunch of conservatives had a problem with it, that and the "read my lips" lie are why he couldn't get reelected, either. We actually hold our politicians ACCOUNTABLE. We don't make excuses for the rich and powerful like YOUR party does. Wanna keep score?
Nixon lied about a hotel break-in, and lost his job.
Kennedy killed a young girl through drunken recklessness, and died holding office.
Bush lied about taxes, and lost his job.
Clinton was the inspiration for Letterman, and tried to tell us oral sex wasn't sex. He served two terms.
Obama got his victory because we were ticked off about Bush insisting he could play Hoover with our privacy. Have you seen the messiah do a damned thing about changing any of that? Neither. Have. I. All I've seen is this "To Chicago go the Spoils" mentality since he took office.
I'm betting you're one of those punks that's too young to remember all the gloating the lefties did when Carter and Clinton were elected. Carter caused Reagan, and Clinton caused the Republican Revolution. The only way you can stop that reaction is to allow dead people and Disney characters to vote, and that's gonna be a lot tougher without ACORN.
Now move along and let the grownups talk, kid. We actually REMEMBER what it's like when the government gets a bug up it's butt and tries to "improve" us.
Now that's news worth watchin! There may not be much difference between men and women, but viva la difference!
Your must stop watching network television because if you don't hurt them in the pocketbook they will continue. They don't care about reporting the truth — they only care about reporting propaganda. STOP WATCHING NETWORK TV AND HURT THEM IN THE POCKETBOOK.
comedians here….

You don't need to give up your TV just stop watching the networks.
Obviously, you're too ignorant or stupid to get the point.
What a lot of you don't seem to understand is that they are already working this propaganda into TV shows. I have already heard "service" being thrown around and I'll hear characters on TV shows talk about "healthcare" — all of Obama's 'messages' are there, you're just not listening.
Start sending your emails to the networks and let them know how you feel.

The best way to change what Obama is doing to this County is to jump on the band wagon which is trying to expose him as a fraud. He is not a natural born citizen. He most like is still a citizen of Indonesia. Please join a group who have fighting for Obama to prove who he is in court. Write you Senator and demand he/she press charges for full disclosure of his birth, school draft and passport documents. We have a right to know who our President is.

The Kenyan-born puppet of Soros is doing quite well with the soft revolution. Time is growing short for Patriots to end this charade and the rape of the United States of America. Obama will find a way to thwart the 2010 elections. This form of tyranny will quickly descend into civil war, death and the complete destruction of the Republic. The scope of the fraud perpetrated on our country is almost too gross to comprehend, but our nation's government is being destroyed, to be replaced with a communist gulag Soros will have Obama raise from the ashes. Opposition needs to build fast, or we are doomed.
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody is sleeping the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
Too late, the prophets [profits] cry
The island is sinking let us take to the sky
Called the man a fool stripped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he is calling us out of our sleep
My friends we are not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home

Why do people that don't follow this type of information wonder why I can't sleep?
Volunteer for what? Trying to keep peace in the Chicago 'hood so some poor kid doesn't catch a stray bullet? Or bring government food to able-bodied people who won't work or go to school? There's some good to that, so who knows what could happen. However, helping people is not what it's about.
Instead, how long until you see regular visits to your home by the "CSC" (civilian service core) especially when you have preschool-aged children? This of course would be for "education" and "health care" and will be required home visits in order to get your mandatory government "benefits" or be taxed even more. It's already here!
"When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the support of Paul." Those in power right now, and that goes way beyond their mouthpiece Obama, are attempting to create a permanent underclass (first trash the economy, add the illegals, add the healthcare handout, simultaneously tax the middle class into dependency, juice the '10 census, make-work government jobs, and so on) to ensure generations of democratic voters. They will win this because, thanks to the death of journalism, the average Joe won't know what hit him until it's too late.
Get a load of Jake Tapper's tweet: jaketapper Dunn says she was joking. Referring to an old Lee Atwater schtick.
This is just plain outrageous.
How soon before the White House requires Obama's portrait to be printed on toilet paper?
I'd just switch it off, unless I had a good DVD to watch-carefully selected. Boycott it forever.
I watch nothing but Fox and only do so between 7 am and 8 am and again from 5 pm til i go to bed. not interested in anything else, just the truth.
What is TV? I can't quite recall

There is still one problem. You won't get the "check mark" in your Obama-teer Box.
You then go on the "one of those people" list and when Nationalized Obama-care comes along. Heaven forbid if you get sick!!! The Obama-panel will determine that you aren't worth the cost. You'll then join the ranks of the rest of us who will be given the Obama-(pain)Pill to "take the edge off" while we wither away and die. May I now introduce you to the newest program??? Obama-culling…where us "less than desirable" Patriotic God Fearing Gun Toting Bible Thumping Conservative Americans are led to extinction.

Watch out, Jed. They're gonna do to your state what they did to mine (Arizona) — demand better and more comprehensive service from the government until the state's forced to raise taxes in order to cater to them.
"My fear is that the government will start requiring it from our children.." They're already doing it; kids in high school are required to perform a 'volunteer' service project as part of their graduation requirement.

As usual, you poor, scared folk have nothing better to do than drum up some phony outrage over…nothing.
No wonder your particular far-far-FAR right brand of politics is fading into comical irrelevance.
I hope y'all understand that THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT WE THINK. This has been in the planning stages for decades. Joe McCarthy has been vindicated! Now that they have "legally" gained access to the helm, their agenda is sailing on full speed ahead.
Yes, Maobama was a rather apt moniker.
" HE ALONE, WHO OWNS THE YOUTH, GAINS THE FUTURE " – Adolf Hitler 1935 ~__By 1935 the Nazis had enrolled 60% of children over ten years of age into their youth programs. What started out voluntary became compulsary in 1939. We are seeing the groundwork being laid for pre-kindergarten to post college intensive government conditioning of our youth. Already there are those that promote manditory government prescribed care for pre-school age and compulsary community/government service for post high school. Progressives have worked to diminish the role of parents and family (traditional) while simultaneously misrepresenting "separation of church and state" to mean "separation of religion and citizen" – duty to "God and country" becoming duty to "Country and World". ~ It is time to stop the madness and take back control from the parasites that live off of our republic. Every action we take as individuals help in this cause. ~“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.” Robert Kennedy
sheesh, you people really are stoooopid!
I wonder if those outfits that have been sponsoring volunteerism for centuries will get any face time in these productions? Churches, Boy Scouts, Shriners, Gray Ladies, Candy Stripers, etc., etc. If they have even a whiff of traditional values (read: conservatism), likely not.
It's amusing and a little irritating to be lectured about this stuff by what look to me like a bunch of Johnny-come-latelys when one's family and various tribes have been volunteering routinely. I suspect a lot of people who routinely volunteer and pay for associated expenses out-of-pocket feel the same way.
It seems as though a lot of this new bunch in the White House and in their cheerleadng MSM were born yesterday.
Maybe Obama is trying to break the Lib work ethic here. You know, trying to get the the Libs to earn the tax refund check they get from us each year. If that is the case, I would offer my lawn to cut and cars to wash as a public service if it makes them feel any better.
I like Paul Johnson's take on what the current crowd in power is doing that they seem to think is either novel or will work this time around:
"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false." — Paul Johnson
Let me get this straight. "Volunteering -it's not about the government" but in the very next sentence you state "At least we have a political party that promotes doing the right thing." YOUR ignorance is showing. You can't have it both ways. Oh.. and I was in New Orleans for almost a month after Katrina and Rita… I guess I'm educated enough that I don't need the Obama-teer Program to dictate to me what is "good and right". Now, Who is the self-serving small-minded fear monger??? Son of a gun. Guess I just took your "playing the race card" out of the equation too.
Stop whining, and start taking over. They want volunteers, then go to Planed Parenthood and volunteer. Change from the inside do it in mass. Make the Tea Party movement into a result your grandchildren will be proud of. Make the movement something you will be proud of. Saul Alinsky wrote a book for liberals, the tactics work for conservatives also. Heck you don't want to volunteer at Planned Parenthood try the Republican Party they need lots of help. Find something to change from the inside.
Out number the liberal trolls 10 to 1 they won't get off the couch. Will you?
Nolte writes: "This all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way."
This mentality is a crystal clear example of why the republican party is a dwindling dying group of hate filled people. Nolte clearly shows us that he, like most republicans, believes that "doing good," is generally a silly and benign, "liberal" idea. Now, while the rest of human kind thinks of doing good as one of the main goals that humans share…republicans are making fun of this desire to help your fellow neighbor. And as always, the flavors of irony come dripping off these e-pages as I think of Christ's message to humankind: love your neighbor. And aren't republicans supposed to be christ's base?

The Q- I thought it was just me! That picture IS disturbing, very disturbing. I have never felt so strongly about the intentions of a politician or group. They say go with your gut and my gut is sick at what is happening so quickly before our eyes.
Volunteering is good, my wife and I like to volunteer with inner-city children. Teaching them how to read, do math, play music, it is very rewarding. The problem I have is making it political, and saying it's our "patriotic duty" to volunteer. No one is forcing or shaming my wife and I to volunteer, and no one should be strong-armed into it if they don't want to. My fear is that the government will start requiring it from our children, from our citizens to do volunteer work they want done; sounds an awful lot like the Nazis if you ask me.
Americans should get educated on the true intentions of what the state means by “service.” Especially, when “voluntarism” manifests itself from the most cruelest Marxist traditions.
Take for example, Fidel Castro, the outdated dictator who for half a century has oppressed the Cuban people. For nearly 50 yrs it's been hell for the proletariat! Cuba is one of the worst violators of ALL human rights including in the area of labor. Workers constantly suffer the poorest working conditions, have no right to organize in labor unions, which are banned; workers live under constant surveillance, threats & intimidation of being "transferred" or sent to "rehabilitation" & "reeducation" camps if deemed to be "lazy," a capitalist, selfish, indulgent or doesn't express revolutionary enthusiasm.
I intend to volunteer. I will volunteer to FIGHT This COMMUNIST at every turn. I will volunteer to campaign against him and all his Left Wing Followers. I volunteer to fight against ALL HIS MARXIST/COMMUNIST APPOINTEES NOW IN MY WHITE HOUSE. .I Volunteer to fight against the Left Wingers, America Haters as the Patriots did while fighting the British of King George. (There were at least 59 separate battles in the Colonies against the British Loyalist and the Freedom Seeking Patriots.) It only took 1/3 of the colonist in America to defeat the STRONGEST ARMY (Red Coats) in the world. We WILL defeat You!. I and my brothers FOUGHT for this Country in 3 wars and will defend it from Democrats, Leftists, Marxist and Hostile Government. I am an AMERICAN and will never belong to ANY GOVERNMENT. I am FREE!!!!
continue:
Workers are oppressed by coercive & punitive measures which include forced separation from family, or suffer "economic punishment" in the form of severe restrictions on buying goods or food simply by taking their food-ration cards away. And they are obligated to work "VOLUNTARY" long hours WITHOUT PAY for the "socialist" cause! And, what about CHILD LABOR? That is the backbone of the Cuban economy!!!!
An illegal practice experienced daily by thousands of children & students who are sent far away from home to concentration camps for indoctrination and forced labor even against their parents wishes! For what? To form the "new man" for the socialist state, this is Cuba's "free" education, which is tantamount to SLAVERY and it is illegal! Child Labor is one of the graves offenses to human dignity & it is the backbone of the agricultural industry of Cuba – THE MODERN SLAVE STATE!
I hope we still have an opportunity to consider ALL the control the goverment has over us and reign in those power hungry politicians in the WH. Good point about the armed services. They already control so much that we don't even notice it anymore.

BUT STOP! WAIT! WHOA! Most of the liberal saps are government drones, illegals, welfare recipients, those still mooching off mom and dad and other worthless freeloaders.

"When coerced, it is not volunteerism, when service is involuntary or unpaid, it is slavery.
It is bad enough that the government is stealing our freedom, now they want us to help. "
Think about what you (and so many others) are saying here. It seems a lot of people have big issues with this and are screaming words like "Slavary" and "Communism", why? Is it REALLY so bad to want to help other people? Let's see, they (the present administration) is trying to brainwash people with such EVIL ideas. The "EVILNESS" includes talking about "Education and children", Health and Wellbeing, Envrionmental convervation, Financial Security and support for military families. Yep, that is an EVIL agenda if I ever saw one.
Coerced??? lol
I'm sorry but I think people's reaction to this is absolutely ridiculous. I read some of these threads and I'm honestly frightened by how some people think here. I am not a left nor right, liberal, nor conservative. I am not blinded by a party like so many other's in this country (USA) either. You here about all the horrible "Terrorists"
in the media all day long. They are often described as "Muslim Fundamentalists". Unfortunately, you don't often hear the term "Christian Fundamentalist" in the media. That's exactly the mentality here which is only exacerbated with guys like Rush, Hannity, etc. Yeah, TRUE americans, lol. Talk about being brain washed. If I had my way, Ron Paul would be President!

Another one of those "scary" posts. The Bush administration raped and pillaged the country yet they are still able to walk the streets as "free" men. They (Bush admin) got a free pass on causing the USA some of the greatest destruction imaginable. Hey Roxy, you keep on listening to guys like Rush, Hannity, Savage, O'reilley and the rest of em.

With millions out of work it is time we paid these people for their "service" to stimulate the economy and rebuild this country's infrastructure instead of rewarding the criminals who created this economic destruction with handouts from the taxpayer. Why must the citizen give up their limited free moments without pay while fat cats get million dollar bonuses and no punishment for their corporate pillaging of the American citizen?
I don't watch modern TV anyways, it is all garbage. I do, however, listen to Internet radio. At least I can mute the commercials as not to hear the stupid public service announcements.
Only a leftist dolt is stupid enough to believe the many millions of Americans who vote on the center to right, are going to "enslave Americans to corporations." as part of the VRWC,… you think we who make less than 50,000 a year vote conservative to "enslave" you pinkassed liberal arts majors to big oil or something?

Methinks we won't have a chance.
M.Bouffant,
Correction. We all lost, you included.
Don't make jokes about this. It's time to set aside "Seinfeld" world. When you're done with your cynical laughter, you might find your surroundings less appealing and be left wondering why you didn't prepare for the sake of your family instead of laughing at a tragedy.
Sneaky slimy Stalinists!!! The Obama gang of thugs are intellectually vacant, morally deficient, and philosophically unstable. They want power, and they have no concept of human liberty. Vote Obama and his thugs out of office, post haste.
In a way you're right on this one Mike. Conservatives have got to understand that there is nothing benign or silly about self-sacrifice. The ethics of altruism is the siren song announcing the death of freedom. Mike is also correct that the ethics of self-sacrifice has animated most people in the past just as it does throughout the world today. And look at the results. Except for nations (at least to some extent) based on and dedicated to the individual's absolute right to pursue his own happiness, poverty, misery and tyranny are the common lot of mankind. The latin root of service is the same for slavery. Those who demand sacrifice intend on being the receivers of sacrifice. Those that demand that Americans not be allowed to go back to their lives are nothing but power mad fascists. Any government type who speaks service, speaks of masters and slaves.
As for Obama being Christ's messenger on earth, I thought you liberals were all about the seperation of church and state. So please, Mike, keep your religion the hell out of my life. I don't share the "main goal" of serving my neighbors, Mike. What are you going to do about it? What form of government coercion are you advicating in order to force me to be "moral" as you define it. Who in the hell gave Obama or any other federal official the right to enforce a religious doctrine (by your own admission) on the American people?
It is sad that the situation in America has degraded to the point that it becomes a sacrifice to "give up" the boob tube, I agree. I also agree that none of us should have televisions in our homes. I think that pierider has a point.
Yeah Mike, I can be a take no prisoners atheist Objectivist when it suits me. Waiting for your response; let's dance.
Oh that's right, I got Rahm's memo too!
Dissent is only patriotic when it's done by liberals.
Don't watch Fox News either. They are currently on the vaccination boat.

If anyone here has any sense of preservation and loyalty to this country – we need to see that this imposter never gets another term in office. Simply keep track of all of his team players for future prosecution – this is the most corrupt bunch of high school sophmoric mental midgets one could imagine. Just today we find the democratcs earmarked $2.6 Bn dollars of military defense monies for pet projects – they are willing to let our families and military members be killed while some ass-clown gets to build an Institution for Kenedy for $20m and a WWII Museum for $25M – while our troops need help. These democrats are traitors, cowards, lecherous swine on the face of this earth. We need to stop them – we need to ELIMINATE them from society – vote them out send them to prison some day. Shame on us – Shame on them – Shame on we the people for electing these bums.

My hometown paper in print and online in our very red county is extremely blue in opinion. The guest columnists are from the local private liberal arts college, many of whom whorship Castro and Chavez as heroic figures. That they have utterly alienated the community and the paper is dying fast seems to slip past them without a hint of recognition.
They just get more outraged, more red in the face, more spittle flecked in reply, as their poll numbers fall,, it's never taht they fail, or aren't getting the right message out, or need to rethink,..
it's us, we are to blame, and the more we reject the liberals, the more white hot their rage at the community for failling to obey them with the proper respect. Hubris is always ugly, but in a liberal, it's especially horrific, as they consume themselves in rage at OUR failure to embrace their wonderfulness.
When it ends, it'll be really bad, the hard left can't ever blame itself, it always needs scapegoats. So when the O's numbers finally drop below recoverable levels, they will explode in fit of blame passing the like of which we have never seen before.

Uh, no, cause thoughtful Americans voted in huge majorities of these communists in the Senate and the House where you have to vote on impeachment. Not gonna happen. Don't head for the hills. Fight these guys until the next election and take back at least one House of Congress for a start to stop the debilitation of our Country. Then fight them till the next election and do all you can to defeat them then. If successful, never take our eyes of these 'representatives' again. Demand more. Like adhering to the Oath of office where the freaking swear to support and defend the Constitution, nor wipe their asses on it.
And I'm sure those consequences are equal in your little world?
God I hate these people.

I think this is a great idea. This isn't about the government overstepping their boundaries, it's about creating a community again. Art helps elevate education and general quality of life. Just because art is sponsored by the government doesn't mean it will necessarily reflect the government's values, or whichever way they may choose to lean. And anyway, there are huge shifts that must take place now, especially in environmental affairs, such as switching to renewable resources for energy. These shifts have to happen in order for an economy like ours to continue to function, and are going to require an enormous amount of manpower. Not to mention the fact that the last eras in which the government implemented service programs, such as during and after world war II, are continually harkened to as days when an honorable generation dedicated themselves to the betterment of the collective nation and the world. If there are service options you don't like, try finding one you do, or like some other people have said just spend time with your family and help someone out just because it's a nice thing to do. We don't all have to agree on what the government's viewpoints have to be, but generally I think promoting service and volunteering in is not a bad thing.
Point taken.
But sometimes you gotta laugh to keep from blowing your brains out.
It is ironic that TV is being used to promote volunteer work. Volunteers spend about 15 hours per week watching television, while people who don’t volunteer watch an average of 23 hours. The average volunteer gives one hour per week. People who choose not to give one hour a week to volunteer usually spend at least eight hours more a week watching television. It's too bad that the volunteers will miss a lot of TV programing espousing what they are out doing.
More propaganda, more control, more false compassion, more communist ideas. They are continuously invading our personal lives more and more.
Jake – all I can hope is by then, maybe I'll be in a nursing home with a drool cup being denied much needed medication by the government death panel.
As long as he keeps people unemployed, more people will "volunteer" for these wacky time fillers! He knows exactly what he's doing……spend our country into the poor house and not one job created!!!!
We don't need Obama and government to lead us or coerce us to volunteer or give to charity. And several of the posters here really have no idea what they're talking about. Over the last years 26.4% of Americans donated an average of 52 hours of their time per year. This has always been a country of people ready to lend a hand or give to charity. We, as a country, are by far the most generous people on earth. That is if private contributions are included. Privately Americans gave an average of $1,000 per person, much higher than any other people throughout the world. Combining government aid with private charity , we give more than double what the next most generous country does.
As for the misinformed suggesting that Republicans and/or conservatives are less charitable than their counterparts, I suggest you do a little research. If you overlay a map of the US showing Red states/Blue states with that of a map showing the most charitable states, you will see that they are practically identical. The top ten states were all Red states. Seven of the ten least generous states were Blue states.
We should make a list of things we can do NOW!!!! We all agree that we're tired of seeing our FREEDOM "Consitutional Rights" taken away, why am I not hearing any suggestions toward a solution.
NamVet
I've volunteered for various things my entire adult life! I was "green" way back in the 70's when it really meant something! Now with this canned, contrived garbage being pushed down the collective American throats, the words "volunteer", "service", and "green" make me want to vomit when I hear them coming out of the mouths of these self-promoting, narcissistic leaches. I'll volunteer to help dismantle their entire kingdom of smoke and mirrors. Sign me up!
This is just one more step to mandatory forced servitude to government based on Liberal ideology. They'll still call it volunteering even once it becomes forced servitude.
Oh come on. Really, you're complaining about being subjected to stories on people who take the time to do something for others? When did being nice become politicized? Is being angry and selfish now a conservative virtue? Turn off the TV and pick up a book if it bugs you so much.
This is scary! Stop volunteering! Encourage other to stop as well!! It simply enables the weak and turns citizens into parasites that think they get a handout from every other person on the street. This do-gooder garbage needs kept away from our kids before they think that the law says they should be obligated to help other Americans!

[...] LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set [...]
The more I read and hear, the more worried I become. This latest takeover of our TV (what's going on with that?) to promote organized volunteering, especially when it is into programs-not-chosen-by-me is just the next HUH? moment. There is a big, big difference between volunteering by choice, and forced to volunteer. This is just creepy. Creepy like in 1984. Creepy like in "We the Living' creepy. Sorry posters, how you cannot see the organized shaming to direct people into following lock-step is beyond me. We have had presidents promoting volunteering, even the Bush 1000 points of light were FOR THE COUNTRY, not part of an agenda, and certainly not to promote the president! It was voluntary service, voluntary as in 'you can choose to or not' with no repercussions. I volunteer, have for decades, but I none of the things I gladly have given my time and money to are on the "approved" volunteer project list. That's the objection, not to volunteering, but to being forced to, and the intimation that if I don't I'm some kind of bad person. It is also curious how there is another "leak" not unlike the leak of information right before Obama was going to address the school children. The story was that there was even "homework" to be done afterword on how students could help Obama. We the People spoke and the outcry was deafening, Then Obama spoke: "Stay in school, you need to work hard, blah blah blah, and no mention of homework at all. And Obama followers said, "gee what right wing crazies, there was nothing wrong with what Obama said!" Well no, there wasn't, because he gave the rewritten talk. At first I wished that Obama had given the original speech so everyone could hear how he really thinks, but you know what? The same people posting on here, saying what a bunch of radicals we are because we don't like volunteering (unbelievable!) wouldn't have gotten it anyway.
We all need to join in and take over the program for the good of our Country and our Constitution. Sign up, take over, and shut this administration down, by getting more involved in what they are trying to do. Turn their programs into greatness for America that our founding fathers left for us. Good people must unite and stand against tyrany.
You drive out to the middle of no where in Montana and look up. You'd be surprised how big that sky is. Especially at night.
If you want confirmation that this administration is hell-bent on changing our America talk to an immigrant – especially from a country less free than America. I spoke earlier today to my friend from Romania. She said that as she listened to Obama campaigning, saying things like redistribution of wealth, and looking at who his friends were, that she wasn't sure Obama thought like an American, but that she must be wrong. She said now she is scared, that things Obama has changed and wants to change are beginning to resemble the very things in her country her family fled! I'll never forget the look on her face. She was dead serious.
Does the Enquirer use any AP stories, or does their journalistic integrity keep them from stooping so low?
Bush was never close to reinstating a draft. The congressmen calling for that was Rangel. He's a liberal.
You need to actually start listening to fox, or another credible news outlet. That would not be Olberman or the NYTimes.
You do not understand the conservative mind set enough to judge us.
We do the right thing because it's the right thing. We donate more time and money quietly and without fan fare because it's a decision we make between ourselves, spouses/family and God. Obama has no place in that. We live here in a free country were 'the pursuit of happiness' it our choice, on our terms because we want to, and no other reason.
This is insulting, it's saying the people volunteering the most need to be told. We don't need, or want to be told by anyone in government. If we did, we'd move to China or another similar country, like Cuba were everything is pushed from the top down.
If Obama says we have to breath, we'd argue about that too, because it's none of his business.
I volunteer time at the local hospital. I am proud to do it, but if Obama makes in mandatory I'll quit before I do it for him.

But they don't have a clue what this issue is, and there are several that no Libtard has addressed.
The government shouldnt' have this much control over the media.
The media shouldn't volunteer this much control to any government.
The government shouldn't be trying to trick us into something we don't want.
If we do volunteer, its not to keep a dear leader happy.
No dear leader in our country should have the brass to try this without the safety mechanisms kicking in to protect us against that much intrusion into our lives. And that's not happening.
But, we conservatives are drones and can't think things through… you betcha!
FINALLY! The media is going to cover those of us who bust out humps everyday in small business AND help the local charities with hours of work and $$$ … wha? what's that? You say they WONT feature us? But… WE ARE THE PEOPLE!

People should volunteer. They should join their local militias and state guards to protect the People from the government.
Well, I never thought I'd hear myself saying this. With the great loss of life by "The Greatest Generation" to defeat Nazism and Imperial Japan. It is beginning to look like too many in America are ready to start proclaiming "Heil Obama" to the anointed one. The Press (aka the Mainstream Media) has forgotten what real investigative reporting is all about. Unless it is to destroy American Conservatives. Then they go to print as many lies as possible and call them news stories. Look at the garbage lies that were printed these last few days against Rush Limbaugh and his attempt to be part of a group to simply own a football team. Simple easy reporting would have proven the so called quotes were complete lies. The MSM doesn't care about truth anymore so their savior can be protected.

School and reading, real life experience is where you get truth.

=========================================
Obama has been the biggest deception in this country since, perhaps, the founding of this country. He's certainly brought "change" – changing us from the benevolent superpower into a third-world socialist society. Instead of seeking success and prosperity , Obama's got us unemployed and working for free.

Boring.

i have 2 agree it is time 2 drop off the grid just in case this wack job declares himself president for life and shreds the constitution or worse rewrites it
Once you are REQUIRED ( which is what Obama told us all during the primary, is what everyone would be ! ) to "volunteer", especially to do things chosen for you…………………………….THAT IS FORCED LABOR and in no way "volunteering".

It really all depends on what you watch!
There's nothing worthwhile to watch on the networks and if that's all anyone watches and/or watches MSNBC and CNN then giving that up is no big deal at all. Heck, you'd be far better without that kind of T. V. watching.
I have spent my entire adult life 'volunteering' 40 hours per week – it is called a job. And as a result of volunteering to work instead of being on the public dole, I voluntarily pay taxes and take care of myself!
Doesn't anyone (including Breitbart or Glenn Beck) remember that Obama once remarked that there was too much duplication with the efforts of non-profit organizations and that public service & good deeds for the sake of our communities & our country could be streamlined and more focused? How else could Obama continually fullfill his intent to 'fundamentally transform the United States of America'? Obama's efforts would be 'creepy' if he was not so 'likeable' . . . Fortunately, it is the 'people with whom he surrounds himself' that gives Obama away as for how he should be judged'.
Might be time for you all to consider getting rid of your TV. The only question that remains is whither or not you have the strength to throw it out.
Stand your ground!!! Things are about to get a lot worse
Those of you that are quick to mock pierider should pause and think. I don't know if he is right, but even though I have TVs at home, I suspect he's right. I come from the last generation where morals and politeness were the norm. That was the generation just before televisions came into the home. Coincidence? I don't know, but if someone has a better answer as to how we turned 180 degrees into becoming a disrespectful people, I'd like to hear it. Some might say that the problems were because people dropped out of religion, but people started dropping out of religion after TV hit the scene. Others probably have different bogeymen, but I'd suggest all thoughts consider the those ideas versus 1950 or so, when TV really began. Hell, look when the first real uprisings in the inner cities and on the college campuses erupted first; the age of those protesters coincided with first born TV watchers. True real violence hasn't erupted (much) since then, but law enforcement certainly is much more powerful because of those riots and uprisings. It would indeed be interesting to see a serious study.
This makes me CRAZY!! I found a DoD document <http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/140...
last February on the net and started 'screaming' about it through email to all the right wing radio & TV people…NO ONE PICKED UP ON IT. NO ONE has yet….to talk about it mainstream.
Why do you all wait until it's TOO LATE to try and tell the public about these things..
Rush, Hannity, Beck, Savage, O'reilly, Coulter ….on and on…. I emailed ALL OF THEM….
I also contacted them again when I saw H.R.1388 or the GIVE ACT <http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1388/show&g... show up on OpenCongess.org. I passed in the house and went onto the Senate and became S.277 Serve America, which also passed.<http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s277/show>...

Churches are sources of services to the poor and homeless as well as to those who need shelter and food. So I believe this is a violation of the separation of the churches and state the same as saying a prayer in school or having the 10 commandments in a court of law. Maybe the A.C.L.U. should take Obama and Hollywood to court for that violation.
Do you people seriously still watch TV? Seems kind of hypocritical to blast the media, yet support them with your hours and hours at the same time…Here's a thought….TURN IT OFF! Then, after the initial shocking silence wears off, go educate yourself! Imagine what you could do if you turned your TV hours into "better-myself" hours?
To those of us actually old enough to remember Fascist Italy, there is nothing new here.
That is non-sense. For most people, following politics is just as simple as rooting for their favorite sports team…. They don't get beyond getting to the root of the issue; they only care about which side supports it, and how to prop up their own side. I should start selling sweat shirts that say democrat or republican… hats, tennis shoes, get a few basket ball players to endorse it… could be rich (or at least taxed in a much higher bracket than I am now).

It starts with "innocent" volunteerism, then it becomes a peer pressure issue, where you become an outcast if you choose not to participate, once everyone is "in," the indoctrination starts.
It's pretty simple.
Once you have your "volunteers" under your spell, you can even hand-out some brown shirts or uniforms and have these new "soldiers" start turning in information about neighbors, businesses and yep, even their own parents.
The concept pays dividends rather quickly.
If it worked for Hitler – it can work for Barry and Michelle.
To think that the MSM is just covering for the Whitehouse is missing the forest for one tree. The MSM has had this very agenda for decades. They, much like the Marxist, social engineering elitist in Washington truly believe that they know what's better for you than you do and are setting out to prove it whether you like it or not. You have no input or control over how your life will be conducted or the directions that your life will take in the future if Obama and his ilk have anything to do with it. 2010 is our only hope to get the rest of the citizenry off of the hopium and fully wake up and get our country back on track through the vote. That's the only way at this period in time.

And, I did not know until reading this article that volunteerism was such a dirty word for Republicans and/or Conservatives. No one is saying it is obligatory – and even Mrs. Bush touted mentoring on TV with PSAs – does not one remember this? Did anyone feel forced to volunteer then?
I have been a Republican my entire voting life and a Big Sister for 7 years to a wonderful young woman – it has been one of the most rewarding ventures I have undertaken – and if this effort brings to light the joy of volunteering to another person I say hooray!

I have waatched NCIS on NBC since it started, but this season is different. The first couple of shows, I think, have totally reversed the role of ziva to arrive at an anti-Israel position. they started another NCIS with a Muslim in a key role. It has a lot of teen attractive stunts, but to me it rings hollow – I haven't watched it but once and tried to a couple more times.
I think they started the new NCIS as competition to the original who have now caved in to the Obma follower management. If every conservative would stop watching the major channels, I think the networks would eventually get notice from stockholders or go out of business. I would be good for us too. We'd soon fill the gap with friends, music, groups, walks and short outings, etc.
We have one thing to thank Obama for. The American public is starting to realize that liberty must be guarded at all times from those would we steal it one grain of sand at a time like an hourglass.
Where were all of you fascists hiding when we had National Socialism under Bush II ? I didn't hear any complaints, then. Maybe you should have been a little more concerned about Bush exponentially increasing government power when it would have made a difference, you lying, moronic hypocrits !

Count me out of this garbage. I've been trying to be a good citizen all of my life. I don't and won't have a bunch of communist radicals tell me one dang thing to do ever. Long live the Constitution and Freedom. To hell with this bunch.
Watch Fox Cable News shows during this time period; I don't think they will support this Communist propaganda push. Obamabunch has taken a page from Hugo Chaves.

Dagobaz – your BDS doesn't help solve any problems, you lying moronic hypocrit! Many of us were concerned, but you were not here (on this forum) back then to share our concern, were you? What he did with Medicare was not a good thing, but what Obama is doing is hundreds of times worse, and you know it.
Take the power out of it. Do not watch any of it at all for that time period. I know it will be hard I love TV myself. No audience no money; no money no power to try to indoctrinate. Simple. Also, bury the networks with all forms of opposing e-mail, letters and the like opposing the puppeting of the Obama administration.
Dagobaz – if you are really against facism, how do you like Obama? Do you know what facism is?
I see things quite the opposite of you. I see those on the right buying anything and everything hook line and sinker the right throws out, even when it's shown as totally false. From the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocents in the bogus and illegal war in Iraq to the health care debate. While those on the left are upset with Obamas seeming ties to the banking industry to the war in Afg. to other promises of change he had made. This one is too cut and dried for you to get away with what you've said.
We are under a blitzkrieg of White House Communist propaganda packaging poison in pretty wrappings.
