Marxist Quote of the Day

"[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.
