The Plan: big & stupid ideas for America

Rahm EmanuelOur blog’s most fervent Democrat challenged me to enlighten about the new chief of staff for Barack Obama (Rahmbo) and his book, ‘The Plan: Big Ideas for America’. Well here it is straight from antiwar.com’s website… Obama’s chief of staff choice favors compulsory universal service Even a cursory look at this material illustrates that Barack Obama and his crew want to even further militarize America, using this plan as a Trojan Horse to capture the support of the politically ignorant and naive cheerleaders they now have. They want a military draft in place.

No, they will call it a Civilian Service Plan or some other cover up name for what they are planning to do. They will talk about IDEALISM, HOPE, and CHANGE. But what will remain in the essence is forced conscription of young people into a so-called “anti-terrorism response team,” militarized to the point of the Homeland Security nitwits at all our airports.

The Plan: Big and Stupidly Poor Ideas for America, brought to you by the Democratic Party. But we absolutely don’t need further militarization of this country’s corrupt military patronage welfare system of jail guards/ soldiers/ police/ and vets. Nor do we need the Democratic Party itself running things in cahoots with their Republican Party politician/ businessmen/ lawyer friends..

Knights over Yeomen

Another of the military’s proud legacies: an archaic and anachronistic rank structure, where the Nobles and Knights own the Yeomen, the spear carriers grunts.

They still prosecute Officers (Knights) for fraternizing with the Enlisted Men (peasants, which is an Old French term for ‘belonging to the land’, when one landlord took over another’s estate, he inherited the peasants as well).

One of the crudest forms of this in-your-face rank structure was when women were allowed into the services, in WW2. The hospital workers, even if they were what would now be called Nurse’s Assistants, the female ones at least, were titled Nurse and made Officers.

Meaning in the normal boy-girl interactions, the Noblemen literally were saying “These are OUR women, keep your mangy Enlisted Personnel paws off!”

There is always mutiny, though. That option will be increasingly difficult for the Masters to deal with.

Imagine a universal draft, if you will. Young men and women getting their idealism crushed and treated like just another piece of military equipment… and then being heavily armed with and trained in the use, procurement, and maintenance of the most advanced weapons on Earth…. It was a mistake they made really heavily in the VietNam conflict.

Oh, when will they ever learn?
