Obama's worshipers have no one else to blame but themselves. Maybe some pain will be a good thing. It will teach people to think before voting.

I really believe you'd see a huge change in the young people of America if this 'service' were implemented.

I am pretty sure my husband and I BOTH would die fighting something like this.
I've already wrote my congressman. Always try to use the right process, but to me, this is a moral injustice that I will not have my children think that I bow down to willingly.
I don't think it will come to that because I don't think the US will stand for it. EVER.
BUT - here's the big BUT
WHy was this even introduced? WHAT AMERICAN would even have the nerve to introduce some crap like this?
Israel might do it, but that doesn't mean it's ok for it to happen here. No one's got time for this crap.

Our rights do come from god or from simply being human if you prefer. They are only defended and taken at the muzzle of a gun. The constitution does not give us our rights, it simply provide a map of our rights so that the Government knows where it is and isn't safe to trod.
ANYONE who would impose mandatory service on anyone is an enemy of the rights of humans and is talking about slavery.

therefore, your rights comes from the guns of the military.
