Is compulsory government service a good idea?

As you may know, parteigenosse Obama wants to require middle school kids to serve the government. The link is Here here.


This is how the liberals put it: "Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."

I believe this is an excellent idea. I think our kids would learn a lot about the government and the Democratic Party if they were to be forced at gun point to serve "community". Moreover, this involuntary servitude will be called, yes, you guessed it "voluntarism". I assume if the schools keep teaching "1984", the new generation will understand the newspeak vocabulary much better. The earlier you start realizing the tenets of liberalism, the sooner you can contribute to society.

Viva la revolucion! Give me liberty or give me death!
