Congressman Charles Rangel of New York has introduced a bill that would re-institute military conscription and create an army of slaves for the empire. His political pals at the liberal Brookings Institute and elsewhere are calling for making this form of slavery more "universal" by calling it "universal service." Congressman Rahm Emanuel is championing this odious venture, which would conscript every 18-year-old to perform several years of (non-military)"service" to the state. So far, no objections from the neocons.
Slavery was outlawed a long time ago, but it's apparently A-OK today as long as it "serves" the gang of crooks, conmen and clowns who run the central government. It is perfectly acceptable to the Charles Rangels of the world as long as it is done by a "democracy." Say that magic word, and the Average I.Q. of the American electorate zooms in the direction of zero. If the public goes along with this, we have truly become Borat Nation.
