"Rotten to the AmeriCorps," Indeed

Ignorance is not bliss, girl. Obama inherited the mess Bush stuck us in in Iraq, and the price we STILL pay there in human lives and money is all due to the crimes of the Bush administration that YOU supported.

===============================
The Senate is working on the Kennedy/Hatch Serve America Act of 2008, and the House is working on a similar bill, called the Generations Invigorating Volunteering and Education (GIVE) Act.

Each would more than triple the number of AmeriCorp volunteers from 75,000 to 250,000, at an estimated cost of a billion dollars a year.


... on average AmeriCorps volunteers earn about $1,000 a month, plus medical benefits, housing assistance and $4,725 in education awards that can be applied to future studies. The legislation would increase that education award to $5,350, the maximum Pell Grant award for the 2009-10 school year, and increase with Pell Grant increases over...

COOPMEISTER......MEISTER FUEHER.....RANK PARANOIA? YOU ARE CONFUSED...WHAT PART OF INSIGHT, DISAGREEMENT, AND CHOICE TO SEE BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE SCREEN DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? OUR CHILDREN HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE FREEDOM TO GIVE THEIR SERVICES TO OTHERS SHOULD THEY CHOOSE. THOSE WHO NEED THEIR SERVICES IN THE INNER CITIES WOULD RATHER CHOOSE A LIFE OF DEPENDENCY AND SLOTH RATHER THAN TO ESCAPE THE CYCLE THAT ENSLAVES THEM. THERE IS NO EXCUSE IN THIS DAY AND AGE WITH ALL THE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS FOR THEM TO CHOOSE TO WHINE AND COMPLAIN THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH.

IT SERVES OUR PRESENT GOVT. TO KEEP THEM DEPENDENT SO THAT THEY MIGHT USE THEM TO FURTHER THEIR CAUSE. CONTINUED ENSLAVEMENT. WAKE UP SISTER.

FOR JANE WU.......ARE YOU SOME CHINESE COMMIE PLANT? YOUR IDEALISTIC DRIBBLE DOESN'T FOOL US. WE WANT TO KEEP OUR FREEDOMS HERE IN THE US. KEEP YOUR HANDS OUT OF OUR POCKETS AND OFF OUR KIDS. WHAT PART OF NO OBOBO AND HIS POLICIES DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREE.

I just took a coop, and a jane wu came out, woo that was stinky!!! Tea anyone?

Carol whips her crowd up into a lather over the Americorp "army", doesn't she? Obama's 'Hitler youth' do-gooders -- SCARY!

Hah. This from the tough on terrorism crowd, who in reality are frightened of pretty much everything that doesn't look, sound and smell like their own funk.

Ignorance is not bliss, girl. Obama inherited the mess Bush stuck us in in Iraq, and the price we STILL pay there in human lives and money is all due to the crimes of the Bush administration that YOU supported. Trying to foist the blame onto anyone who took over from Bush Madness is unfair, and I'd say the same if McCain were in the WH (except he'd have us there from 100 years to indefinitely, just for sh!t and giggles).

"From the makers of Police Squad......"

Let's call it what it is. To be established by Democrats; run by Democrats; for the benefit of Democrats. It wouldn't make any difference which party were in power. Such a group would owe (and give) their allegiance to whoever created them.

I have all of you under surveillance......

Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness
Patriotic Liberal, that's an oxymoron. You sound bitter that you didn't win at monopoly when you were a kid. Truth is - if I can make it - so can you. Have you tried to open your own business? Carwash even? You should try it one day, instead of whinning that others are getting more pie than you! There are Cambodians that have more than you - because they worked for it!!! God bless them - and the FREE COUNTRY that let them have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Stop whinning that all those other guys get too much...it's not fair! So sad.

is just an endless series of regurgitated Fox points. does the woman have an original thought in her neurology?

and btw, the two Americas are less public vs. private sector, but the lemon socialism--as Krugman called it--where the upside gains are privatized in unprecedented windfalls to our business leadership, while their failures are socialized to us all. and when i say unprecedented windfalls, i mean compensation to CEOs that is 400x greater their line-level underling, as opposed to 30x forty years ago. what do you think, morons? is America a better country now than it was mid-century? no?! hm. i wonder why those guys in the other America are getting such a larger relative piece of the pie, then. actually, its...

"Mandatory uniforms
Like the firefighters?"

You're comparing professionals that chose a career to Americorp "volunteers"? Especially in light of B-4s post above.

Coop - you might want to see "the good" done by Americorps:

“Seems that Mr. Walpin did a very bad thing — his job. He followed the money and discovered that the St. Hope Academy in Sacramento, Calif., had misappropriated hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal AmeriCorps funds.

“The nonprofit education group, led by Sacramento mayor and former professional basketball star Kevin Johnson, had apparently spent the money on local politics. Specifically, according to the AP, funds were used ‘to pay volunteers to engage in school-board political activities, run personal errands for Johnson and even wash his car.’ All this, presumably, was to stimulate the local Sacramento economy.

“As a result of Walpin's efforts,...

Take a deep breath, an be grateful for the good of those American kids who care.

Really, try to dialoge with out the same ole' phrases...partisan! I'm just a regular American, no political history. Tell me, do you honestly believe that the gov't should be paying people (young/old) to help out communities around the country?

Did you ever hear about misuse of Americorps monies in Sacramento...they were washing the car of the Mayor of Sacramento?

Fox Must stink
The ability to take a ggod thing and turn it to partisan crap..is a skill, even Karl Rove would envy.

Take a laxative..you'll feel better

Coop. You have no point of debate! All you ever post is partisan talking points that you look up on leftist websites. If I were not mistaken, I would say you are enslaved to the thinking and propaganda of other fools! A stupid man's idiot if you will. Next time try an original thought for debate. It will redeem your fecklessness!

Sorry to see you "hit the hay"
before you can be enlightened.

after careful study, our pres committed the best and the brightest to the effort.
Why not just pray for their safety, in view of the big offensive launched as we write?

I'll take that laxative now.......

So you can have your late-nite snack......

chomp, chomp....

Americorps is lovely...so let private industry pay for it - NOT THE GOVERNMENT! The government has three main duties - NATIONAL SECURITY (because we can't defend ourselves against international threat), ROADS-INFRASTRUCTURE. That's really all the Federal Government is for. It was not intended to be "altruistic," hence the American public's long known philanthropic nature.

So many people seem confused that the Federal Government "should" cure all ails! It's amazing to me that people are "willing" to forgo their freedoms for the "government" to take care of "things," for them.

Tomorrow, the people of Iran are risking their very lives for the freedoms that we are willing to throw away to beauracracies that show time...

How many days did the commanders have to wait for the Pres. to make a decision, to send more troops.

War is tough business, not for the liberal of heart. they would rather be slaves than free men standing watch on the wall.

I'll take three or four grunts, a platoon of infantry, a couple of coasties, and a bunch of sailors over any government service any day. This is the service of value.

OOH F-ING RAH

Some of the youth among us want to give back to this country

you want to make this part of an your delusional plot...
So sick.

Take a deep breath, an be grateful for the good of those American kids who care.

You 2 dimbulbs just don't get it....
Hussein did not refer to a "volunteer force" or a "civilian volunteer force"..........
He called it, ...now try to follow along............a "civilian national SECURITY force".........
He wasn't talking about a "Peace Corps"....
Ya know......a bunch of pimply-faced kids volunteering around the country / world......
Do you know exactly what a SECURITY force does?
It does military / law enforcement duties......DUH!!!!!!!

Of course you Marxists would like nothing better than to see the disarming of the law-abiding people of this country.

You and your ilk.......c'mon and try it.

A predict many deaths by lead poisoning.

That's it? That's the only argument you can come up with?
