Love the State, Serve the State

This article on national service shows how busy the Obama administration is in building its dream of an omnipotent government that is served by brainwashed loyalists. Here are some terms I thought I'd pull out of the article:

-The GIVE Act (Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act)
-Clean Energy Corps
-Education Corps
-Healthy Futures Corps
-Veterans Service Corps
-National Civilian Community Corps
-AmeriCorps
-Congressional Commission on Civic Service
-Corporation for National and Community Service
-USA Freedom Corps

And lastly, the new idea being floated in the Senate, the Serve America Act. Here's Obama on his ideal loyalist party: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded." Here's Rothbard's "Do You Hate the State?"
