Okay, I'm stealing the generic meme.
They always said if George Bush were elected the country could be looking at forced labor camps. And they were right.
Turns out that those who snapped up free tickets to his big convention speech at Invesco Field will have to volunteer for six hours. And they’re whining about it to the press.
It's just sad that so many Democrats appear to think that true salvation can come without a price. Maybe they just aren't accustomed to kneeling before "The One" in all his true godliness.
Maybe they'll get off easy on the volunteer work ... maybe just have to rinse out his cabana at the beach before the Obamessiah "appears" before them in Denver.
This guy is going to be serious fun down the stretch. Wait until the real pressure starts to hit him. With what appear to be neophytes running his show, the hilarity will commence. And who knows, Hillary and Bill might even drop back into the fray and make it a virtual three-ring circus.
Yes, Michelle told them there would be days like this.

Obama is a clown. Libtards love clowns.

What's the big deal here? All the authoritarian regimes favored by liberals have compulsary volunteerism: Stalin, Mao, Castro...and don't forget Pol Pot. Everybody is merely "giving back" to their community.
Thank goodness we are getting ready to be lead by "Our Dear Community Leader". I can't wait to voluntarily mount his portrait on my living room wall as required by government edict.
I'm also ready to join my neighborhood purity of thought brigade - you know, its for the kids.

More utter idiocy from Riehlworld.
"forced labor camps?" You really can't be that friggin dense. Can you?

How is this "forced" anything? If you don't want to volunteer don't work and buy a ticket like everyone else. This is a very common practice for things like college rock concert tours, I got to see a bunch of shows when I was in college by lifting road cases for a few hours before and after the show.

"This is a very common practice for things like college rock concert tours,..."
Precisely, Spart.

"Precisely, Spart."
Well we all know McSame likes to do things like they did back before the horseless carriage, but there's nothing wrong with asking people to sing for their supper (I figured you conservatives would be all for that).

We don't make light of Dems (or anyone else going to do a little volunteer work for the nice tickets to the Obamapaloser concert...
... we are poking fun at the DEms who are WHINGING about having to make time out of their busy schedules to do volunteer work for what seems to have been presented to them as a free ticket.

Now here we have the makings of great change we can believe in in public policy from Spartbama:
"How is this "forced" anything? If you don't want to volunteer don't work and buy a ticket like everyone else."
Let's run it up the old flagpole to see if it floats:
If you don't want to be drafted into the military or the community service corps, buy your way out for $10,000 like everyone else.
