Change.gov, already changed.

Apparently Obama has caught some flak from his America Serves section of www.change.gov.  Here is the original page.

Notice how it said require in it.  Well now it does not say that.

I know, I know, give the guy a break right.  I mean he is the President Elect and he is bound to make a mistake or two.  Columbia and Harvard university graduate, surely you would learn to proof read before turning it in.  This same thing happened on his website during his campaign.  One day they were proudly proclaiming their involvement with ACORN.  Voter Registration fraud hits the news and *bam* no more mention on the site about ACORN.  Same with Rev. Wright.

What do you think, honest mistake or a slip of his true intentions?  Just like all of his policies, he is constantly changing with the wind.  I hope you get your Change.  Let me point out Amendment 13 of the constitution:

Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865. 

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Office of the President elect?!?!

Excuse me, what exactly is that. The Office of the President Elect found at www.change.gov, it appears Obama has purchased the domain name and created a new government office.  Wow, not even in office and he is expanding the government. 

You should take a look around at the site, it filled me with so much hope for change....it seems his presidency can not end fast enough for me.  Check out the America Serves section.  He wants to expand the Peace Corps, Ameri Corps, and create a Classroom Corps to (help teachers).  Folks, if this does not raise the hair on the back of your neck then you are truly blind.  Here is the pitch/edict on the America Serves section:

"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."
The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Sounds so dreamy, almost like he wants to tell you that by serving you will realize the America Dream.  Does this mean that we can eliminate the United Way, perhaps the PTA's?  Exactly why would anyone want these government programs instituted?  Tell me, what do you think will happen if you elect not to serve?  Will you be allowed not to serve?  Who knows, maybe if you do not serve while in school they will not allow you to graduate?  I do not know but what I do know is that the government does not need to expand and create programs like this.  If they want to offer tax breaks/credit etc great, but the government actually running these types of programs...does this not stink of Big Brother to you?  Will the Classroom Corps direct you on the proper "history" to teach?

Look over his site, look at all the pie in the sky ideas that they have on it and ask yourself several questions:
1.  Where is the money coming from?
2.  Is it a good idea to have the government expanding in this way?
3.  How does this affect my individual rights?

My friends, Socialism is rearing its ugly head.  Our nation was founded as a republic, a nation of laws.  We are about to be pointed toward a dictatorship if we are not vigilent.  Sounds crazy, impossible?  Maybe, and I hope to god that I am mistaken.  I hope to god that Obama turns out to be good man who does great things for our nation.  Based on his past associations and the clearly big government controlled programs (Socialism) that he is proposing I honestly believe that he has no desire to maintain our Republic.  What do you think?
