This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this Snarkland

Gateway Pundit needs his anonymous diapers changed.

GP = Jim Hoft of St. Louis

Rather than apologize for his faux pas (and his Fox pause) yesterday, getting the letter to Chirac embarrassingly wrong, GP has outdone himself with today’s posting, a barbaric yawp of bigotry and intolerance … well, y0u be the judge:

House Passes Hitler Youth Bill

Obama promised during the campaign to create a Socialist National Civilian Security Force similar to what they have in other Marxist regimes. Yesterday, the US House took the first step in organizing Dear Leader’s dream youth service corp. [sic]

German youth praising Hitler.

The House passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act yesterday. The bill includes language indicating young people will be forced to participate in mandatory national service programs. The bill also states that “service learning” will be a mandatory part of the youth curriculum.

That doesn’t sound much like “volunteerism” does it?

Info Wars and Free Republic reported:

The House passed a bill yesterday which includes disturbing language indicating young people will be forced to undertake mandatory national service programs as fears about President Barack Obama’s promised “civilian national security force” intensify.

The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, known as the GIVE Act, was passed yesterday by a 321-105 margin and now goes to the Senate.

Under section 6104 of the bill, entitled “Duties,” in subsection B6, the legislation states that a commission will be set up to investigate, “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.”

Section 120 of the bill also discusses the “Youth Engagement Zone Program” and states that “service learning” will be “a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency”.

“The legislation, slated to cost $6 billion over five years, would create 175,000 “new service opportunities” under AmeriCorps, bringing the number of participants in the national volunteer program to 250,000. It would also create additional “corps” to expand the reach of volunteerism into new sectors, including a Clean Energy Corps, Education Corps, Healthy Futures Corps and Veterans Service Corps, and it expands the National Civilian Community Corps to focus on additional areas like disaster relief and energy conservation,” reports Fox News.

Let the indoctrination begin.

More… Kelley in Virginia adds:

“There is even a provision in the bill for uniforms.”

Of course.

See? I am NOT making this stuff up.

And, aside from the obligatory nod to Godwin’s Law, one can only quote the immortal words of Sadly, No [emphasis added]:

But Gateway Pundit, as we have previously seen, is as dumb as a wooden turnip…

Dumber, one would venture. Having lost the election, having lost the war of ideas, having made their vicious backbiting purely back-burner, all that they’re left with is this — calling the Peace Corps, et al., in essence, the “Hitler Youth.”

Converted to gasoline, this intellectual firepower wouldn’t run an ant’s motorcycle halfway ’round a Cheerio®.

Had yesterday’s post needed an exclamation point to finish it off, Gateway Pundit/Hoft has surely provided it. And, as the crown of “Turdman” has lain  unworn for the past 24 hours, like a cheap tiara at a Miss Atlantic City competition, clearly it ought to be ceded to him.

Therefore, by the awesome powers granted me as “Master Blogger” I do hereby award the tiara of “Turdman” to Jim Hoft, the Gateway Pundit for his performance of “how pathetic is THIS snark?”

The competition for First Runner Up was fierce.

Courage.
