National Service and the philosophy behind it..
pure servitude..one of the tenants of socialist legality and philosophy…
Serve the State…serve authority…serve the Party…serve serve serve..
Altruism….blind obedience…
the Proles of Orwell’s 1984….
Americans today….being conditioned to serve..
Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, Csstro, Saddam,...
Fascism, Socialism, Communism..in other countries,
The Cults of Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Kennedy, Reagan and now Obama.. all to worship honor and obey the Leader..and the State which has erected the Leader and the worship…and the State’s actions.
And this is the America we are to admire and PROMOTE at the end of a gun??
listen to the song “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour…and watch the video.
a slippery slope to tyranny..and its BIPARTISAN.
