Will America condone slavery once more? Although the very idea sounds rediculous, the pawns are already moving into place.
Recently Obama signed a bill [HR1444] that will, among other things, research: "Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds."
Now, I have nothing against the Obama Administration's focus on volunteer work, but this is clearly not the ultimate aim. The ultimate aim is "mandatory service required for all". A government is probably allowed to draft people during times of war (although that is in itself questionable, since these wars are often caused by daft governments and ought not be supported). However, expecting involuntary servitude is reminiscent of Hitler Jugend, and many are finding it ironic that the first American president of colour should consider anything tainting of slavery.
Will mandatory service occur during Obama's presidency? Maybe not. But that is the issue. The issue is that laws will be instated which the next president could use to inaugarate the Facist state, which America is steadily moving towards.

I didn't know about that bill. I read an article about modern-day slavery in National Geographic a few years ago. It said that slavery is illegal in every country, but happens everywhere. A lot of it is human trafficking and illegal immigrants who work for almost nothing. That is rampant in the USA for the sake of the cheap labour.
I do think that many Christian Americans these days think that God is angry at the world and that He needs to be appeased. Those televangelists keep that idea going. We know where that will lead...
It's a tragedy.
I'm aware of this bill and many believe that it will eventually be tied to student loans. As the government takes over more of our financial institutions and financing firms which handle student loans, they will be able to write mandatory "volunteer" work into the details of the student loan payback agreement.
In regards to the modern day slavery and immigration that Christine mentions. Have you ever thought about this? The 'right' in America (republicans, conservatives) who want a wall along the southern border, immigration reform, possible paths/qualifications for amnesty, and the illegal immigration problem permanently solved are portrayed as racist, mean spirited, and cold-hearted. While the 'left' (democrat, liberal) is for full amnesty, no wall and want the illegal aliens to stay are portrayed as loving, caring, sunshine and lollipops.
The illegals are working for nothing and the 'left' welcomes them in, feel no need to reform our immigration policy and actually want more of them here thereby keeping them in this form of modern-day slavery. They are paid ridiculously low wages because they do not have a legitimate voice.
BUT, if we had "real" immigration reform, made the immigration process easier (financially and beaurucratically), protected the southern border from terrorist intrusion, and legitimized the immigrants' status it would help them attain higher wages.
Who are the cold-hearted ones again?
