Quote:Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) likely will introduce his controversial legislation to reinstate the draft again this year, but he will wait until after the economic stimulus package is passed.


Asked if he plans to introduce the legislation again in 2009, Rangel last week said, “Probably … yes. I don’t want to do anything this early to distract from the issue of the economic stimulus.”

This ought to endear democrats to young voters.

Why does he keep doing this?

Lots of folks were sure that Bush was going to reinstate the draft. Funny how the critics are loud at the beginning, but don't admit when they were wrong.

It is understandable that people would think he was going to reinstate a draft; having two major conflicts without enough soldiers.

So you chickenhawks have to worry about having your kids sent into war. It is an attempt to throw cold water on you and stop the stupidity of going to war with everyone we don't like.

Maybe if your people would stop blowing themselves up in crowded market places and buses, we wouldn't have to keep going to war.

Not at all Robert ....

I HOPE YOU get sent over there and learn what it is like .... then maybe you can talk from Intelligence and not the Brain in Your Third Leg.

One can only dream .....

And yeah !!!! Why is it that the Dem's/Lib's caw and screech about how much they hate War and the Military, yet, they are always the ones pushing the Draft Initiative - - I know why Charles Rangel is doing it - - he thinks the "All Volunteer Military" is a CIA Plot to Enlist the Black Man and have him exterminated in war.

Funny that all the guys killed in the Middle East who are from my community have been White as Snow.

Some things are just hilarious until the tears come .....

...and if I had a son of enlistment age, and he wanted to enlist, that would be HIS choice, not mine. I don't see why you damn libs can't f'n understand that these people are ADULTS, not f'n people loaned out by their parents.

Now, you were saying?

Charlie is sooooo out of touch, but NY black folks are known to be closed mined.

This is a smokescreen for what he really wants....A mandated national service act. Keep in mind that BOs new COS pushed his very idea in his book. Watch this very closely over the next 4 years.

This is likely to gain traction with the Socialists and Nationalists in this country.
Also be wary of what happens when these two groups join together.

I'm a nationalist and I don't EVER want to see a draft, conscription, or a civilian police force.

civilian police force??????? I thought that's what we have..

We are talking the complete removal of Habeas Corpus and Posse Comitatus, so the President can end run around Congress and Enact Martial Law, thereby allowing him to Actively Insert Enlisted Military onto to U.S. Soil as Urban Police and never fear Legal Prosecution.

In essence, the worst of Cuba, Russia, Colombia, Southeast Asia and all Communistic Dictatorships.

M16's/M203's, M4's, SAW's, M107's, Armored Vehicles all over EveryStreet USA and full press orders to Use Deadly Force.

A "Civilian Police Agency or a Sheriff's Department" did not used to be, but most at present, are 'Paramilitary Trained Units' who are now used to having direct working relations with Federal Enforcement Entities and this is because of the Changes in Law and Scope of Law since 911 and Katrina.

What 99% of all Civilian Law Enforcement would not have tolerated a decade ago, "they will embrace as just regular policy" in present times. (this ought to scare the pants off people)

Having a "Chalk of Spec Op's Soldiers" drop into your streets will be no big deal TODAY - - but 10 years ago, it would have been all out war between the Civilian Law Enforcement and the Military ....

This is how far we have dropped on the Food Chain and how easily indoctrinated we have allowed 911 to force us into becoming.

Ben Franklin said it pretty frekkin clear- "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety" !!!!!

And THOSE KINDS of COWARDLY PEOPLE DON't Deserve It !!!!

Military Urban Police coming to a Street Corner near you ....... SOON, if Obambi holds to his promise ...
