The whole thing about being a volunteer and service is disguisting to me. It's because king Obama acts like Americans never volunteered or gave to charity before he was elected.

People volunteer and people give to charities. Obama acts like Americans didn't do any of these things before he got elected.

I agree with Beck. This is all designed to get free labor from the American people. This is your price for citizenship.

There's no price for citizenship. The Founders of this country paid the price for men to be free and live in liberty. So we don't owe any service to the Government for citizenship.

These people always want free labor and people need jobs and they can volunteer and give to charities as they see fit. People have done these things before king Obama took office.

This has nothing to do with volunteerism in general. The numbers show a 60% gain in volunteerism since 1989. Clearly volunteering is not the issue. The issue for Obama is the advancement of his Social Engineering Fantasy through the Serve America Act or GIVE Act as it was once known. (HR 1388).

This whole Hollywood launch is just the next step in launching the program. It all began with Obama's controversial national address to the schools back in early Sept. Phase three is the introduction of this new philosophy into the curricula of our public schools.

This is one agenda where he has kept up his promises. Tick Tock just like clockwork. Expect the work camps this Summer. Actually they are called campuses in the text of the legislation. This is a movement that is near and dear to Michelle and Barry.

Well if the majority of Americans could get JOBS, then maybe, just maybe, it would be a little easier for them to volunteer some of the time that they have left over at the end of the week.

Jobs first.
Volunteering second.

Volunteering doesnt put food on the table. Work does.

Volunteerism is going to embrace the American people on a scale never seen before. And once again, it will start off as something good. Like when they introduce new taxes what do they say? It'll help with building new schools and new roads –it’s for the kids! But, those things never happen. Now, VeriChip: What happens? Find your pet when they go running! Keep tabs on grandpa when he has a "senior" moment, and, it’s all for the kids! Again, all "good" things promoting things that will enslave.

Now we move to volunteerism. Instead of calling Beck an idiot, let's be a little more mature and ask ourselves, "Why would the government be so interested in volunteerism on such a MASSIVE scale?” Why would they have the entertainment industry do a whole run of movies and TV shows (like after 911 them doing shows of Patriotism and then the whole CSI theme started) promoting this (which will be starting at Thanksgiving and Christmas time when the hearts of all are open)? Any hands? Why does the government care so?

Because volunteerism is the first step in bringing on the barter system. That's right, soon you will not be getting paid money for your work day. We will all be getting "paid" goods and services --well, not in the beginning, but the beginning will last a very short time.

In order to get people used to this New World Order, they need to promote it in a good way, like taxes and VeriChip –it’s all for the common good! So they get celebs like Ashton Kutcher and the like (did you see the girl behind him by the way? She was in LOVE with him! Of course she's gonna listen to Ashton and volunteer!). And of course you will, too, in time. In fact, no one will be able to buy or sell without it!

Now, doing volunteer work alone is a great idea –because it is an OPTION. Why do people do it? To help others, but also to feel good about themselves in the ones who are more selfish. We don’t do it as a means of survival (not yet anyway), we do it as an act of charity. They’re going to diminish the act of charity by making it mandatory thus negating the act –another blow in this unseen Spiritual War that is about to become seen. And soon, that option will be gone once the economy goes bye bye and the VeriChip is introduced, but not as the Mark Of The Beast, not in the beginning anyway.

They are just about to introduce us all to their “Love Thy Neighbor” campaign. Sounds great and harmless doesn’t it? And what the heck, it will please God, right? Oh sorry, it’ll please “Climate Change.” Now you’re wondering, how the heck can bartering help appease Climate Change?

Oh, you’re gonna love the Love Thy Neighbor Campaign! It’s going to get us all used to a whole new line of harmonious ideas and laws! And the world will be so much better off –new schools and news roads that’ll take you to those new schools and all!

Oh Ashton, where do I sign up? Oh yeah! Serve.gov! Sorry folks, but I gotta go and “enlist!”

I have been a volunteer firefighter, ambulance driver, Reserve Deputy Sheriff, and Sheriffs Posse Member, all volunteer jobs. My parents have done all the same, and still do today.

I can tell you from personal experience that if you do not have a good job that allows you a flexible schedule, you cant possibly volunteer and make enough money to live. Especially in this economy.

To me, this sudden call to volunteer duty is a slap in the face to working Americans. Yes, it's a good idea to volunteer in your community, but I dont want to be told/asked to do it by the very same people that have driven the economy into the crapper, making it harder if not impossible for me to have the time.

Most people cant AFFORD to spend their time working for free! We have past due bills and hungry mouths to feed! And Obama wants to ram this of ALL things down our throat now?! After he just spent trillions of our dollars, that didnt help me pay my bills, and didnt fix anything for tomorrow? I call BS here folks.

This should be in Political Madness. It is quickly turning in to a subject that should be there. Am I alone in thinking this?

Not every time at bat does a home run get hit!
It does seem to be swirling the drain but it is getting replies.
All valid.

I've raised more than a half million a year for charity for the last ten years. I gave a year and a half of my life administrating a charitable program without pay.

Obama was paid for all his work for charities as an attorney and organizer. The Left gives the least to charities and have for decades.

When I ran a charity as a volunteer for a year and a half, the Democratic Governer (I almost posted his name and then remembered how rich he is) called one day and said he was coming by to volunteer. He sent and advance team that attempted to take over the charity before he arrived. He sat in an office while his PAID flunkies did 30 minutes work. The media showed up and he walked out and pretended he was a volunteer for the cameras. They left and he and his PAID volunteers got into a limo and drove off to the airport.

They messed the place up so bad It took me a week to fix the damage to both the real volunteers and the facility. They treated the real decent people like dirt under their feet. They lied on camera. Absolute pond scum in Italian suits.

He was a lot like Obama. Except Obama is talking about mandatory service. Does somebody need to post the video's again?

Why is this not in the Madness Forum? The source is a Partisan site?

I don't know why so many people watch Beck...

Is it because he makes no sense when he talks

or because he acts like a jerk all the time?
