"[W]hen I'm President, I will set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year. This means that by the time you graduate college, you'll have done 17 weeks of service. We'll reach this goal in several ways. At the middle and high school level, we'll make federal assistance conditional on school districts developing service programs, and give schools resources to offer new service opportunities." -- Barak Obama
A goal is not a goal if the goal has dollars tied to it.
Unfortunately for real Black Americans, Obama has no ancestors that were held in slavery in the United States. If he had, Obama would know the following section of the United States Constitution by heart: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Whether you call it slavery or "national service", involuntary servitude is prohibited by the United States Constitution. Of course, dedicated Marxists do not allow little things like laws or the Constitution to get in the way of forcing Americans toward slavery to the almighty government.
Of course, this is yet another good reason to abolish the United States Department of Education.

Big Win for the Good Guys!
In an audacious rescue operation worthy of a Hollywood script, the Colombian military rescued three US Defense Contractors and twelve other hostages from the grips of the Marxist FARC. The three Americans, Marc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell, and Thomas Howes, were captured in 2003 while working for the Northrop Grumman Corporation after their surveillance plane went down on an antinarcotics mission.
To achieve the rescue, the Colombian military special operations forces poses as members of a Non-Governmental Organization (“NGO”) sympathetic to the Marxists, and conned the Marxists into giving the hostages over for a helicopter trip for additional humiliation.
What was telling about the whole thing is how easily Marxists guerillas believe that an NGO is sympathetic to them, and working with them. That is because nearly all NGOs are chuck full of Marxists, Communists, Socialists, and other America-haters. NGOs are loved by the despots at the UN, so much so, there is a special UN-NGO liaison office so NGOs can act as influencers at the UN. Of course, the United States funds the lion’s share of that UN office’s work.
But I digress. This duping of the Marxists freeing American citizens held for nearly five years is a huge win for the forces of freedom. The Marxist FARC has been taking it on the chin all year from Colombia President Alvaro Uribe, a true friend of the United States in Latin America.
There still remain hundreds of hostages held by the Marxists in Colombia. I pray that all of them will be safely released or rescued.

RIP -- Jesse Helms
Former Senator Jesse Helms, as stalwart defender of Freedom as ever trod the halls of the United States Congress, passed away, fittingly, on July 4, 2008.
Jesse Helms was forefront on pushing back Communists, Marxists, and Socialists, often having to fight the US State Department to do so. Senator Helms was front and center on pointing out the corruption and uselessness of the United Nations. Senator Helms fought to fund pro-US fighters in what was always a hot "Cold War".
Jesse Helms also revivied the flagging campaign of Ronald Reagan in 1976, helping Reagan win North Carolina when Reagan was losing to Gerald Ford elsewhere. Gerald Ford's White House should never have snubbed Alexander Solzhenitsyn when Jesse Helms brought him to the US. Payback is Hell.
Senator Helms was persistent, consistent, principled, and tenacious. Oh, if only today's GOP could follow his example.
