What is there to be afraid of? 

Most of us have heard Obama state that “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military.  This alone is enough to send shivers up an informed spine, but it gets even worse when you hear the specifics.  Obama intends to use a radical activist group he helped found called “Public Allies” as the model for, as IBD puts it, “. . . his Orwellian program, ‘Universal Voluntary Public Service.’”

IBD reports on the inducements used to entice young people into this national service corps and its true aim:

. . . they’ll get a monthly stipend of up to $1,800, plus paid health and child care. They also get a post-service education award of $4,725 that can be used to pay off past student loans or fund future education.

But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about ‘social change’ through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul “The Red” Alinsky.

With his oratorical skills and a complicit media, the president-elect will be able to sell this scheme with talk about security, equality and liberating the downtrodden.  “It’s the best way to combat crime, hopelessness and a lack of opportunity in the inner city,” he will say.  “And I know this well from my days as a community organizer on Chicago’s mean streets.” He will tout how it provides health care, education and skills to the have-nots, and his media-oiled silver tongue’s salesmanship will prevail.  It will be sold with a low-end price tag, and his fellow-traveler controlled Houses will echo the message and deliver the votes.  Of course, just like Social Security and a trove of other government programs, its cost will make a mockery of predictions.  But Uncle Sam’s budget projections aren’t designed for budgets, but for marketing.

As always happens with such groups, program members will eventually be identified with some colloquial and catchy label.  I can’t tell you what it will be, only that it won’t be Brownshirts or Blackshirts.  And the official name of the program itself may even be changed a few years hence.

As with the Public Allies program, members will have to attend seminars and “retreats” where they will be indoctrinated with leftist ideology.  Aside from learning how America is a “racist and “sexist” country, they will be taught that she is also ridden with “heterosexism,” which, IBD writes, “. . . a Public Allies training seminar in Chicago describes as a negative byproduct of ‘capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male-dominated privilege.’” They will be taught that these evils can never be vanquished until every last vestige of traditional America is utterly destroyed. 

The pressure to conform will be immense, as it always is in politically-correct entities.  The corps will have a huge core of true believers, who will act as ideological hammers.  They will preach diversity but practice conformity.
