This is an ultimate AS: Now Non-Fiction moment. President Zero teaching Steph Curry, the best basketball player in the world at the moment, about the finer points of shooting hoops. Then later on in the commercial you see a sign for "My Brother's Keeper". If I don't laugh, I'll cry.

Notice that the web site is

    It is obvious these folks have no clue as to what "Objectivism" is all about. Antithesis if you will!

    Think about it. If Barry had spent his last seven years in office doing nothing else but such O=0 nonsense when not playing golf. we would all be way more by far better off.

    Obama should give back to the community. Hell, he has taken enough from us.

    I'm confused!

    I agree with 1-4. I'm not knowledgeable about the fifth point, but it rings true, like par for the course for a gov't prog.

    put a community organizer in the white house and get a community organizer to organize the world, he stops at nothing. notice all the young men who need a keeper are black. we have unfortunately had a congress that loves what he has done. this is not an accident waiting to happen it is an accident in process.

    I thought you might find this chilling. I was watching Steph Curry, the basketball player in the ad, during his playoff game, and what I posted was the "public service" ad during the commercial timeout.

    No, the irony is that the name of the program is a book chapter title right out of Atlas Shrugged.

    1.I hate the name of the program
    2.I hate that they are telling young people that they should "give back" to their community
    3. I think mentoring programs are great
    4. the website is "serve.gov" that is chilling to me. it is not anyone's job to serve the government. quite the opposite.
    4. some of these programs are set up because college grads can't find jobs-their only hope outside entrepreneurship is to jump thru the hoops of what the govt requires for entry level govt positions. programs like this one are part of what is required. If they qualify for programs such as "Teach" America, they can get higher level govt positions after 3-4 years of basically slave labor-WAY below 15 per hour. hmmmmm. but-they can get SNAP to augment their costs. Most of these grads qualifying for "TEACH" America come from affluent families btw.

    Based on the video and text, I strongly support what they're doing. But I thought the name was going to be what critics call the program.

    Mostly it was a Misconception of what our biblical ancestors were talking about....but as you state, the state, the rulers, the organizers of religions turned it backwards to suit their redistribution notions.
    Actually that's another pretty good definition of progressivism...turning things backwards against the population, society and the individual.

    Of course not. That is a religious concept and to accept it goes back to establishment of a state religion. Which means most of welfare is illegal and why it was not included in the Constitution. General Welfare must apply to the benefit of everyone not a select few.

    I wonder how much that is costing us.

    By the way...we are Not our brothers keeper...Pager U had a great vid on that one.
    Conscious Humans, will automatically share what ever they might have in abundance according to their essence.

    To see obobo pretending to care...is sickening...he probably slept well that night thinking he could do something Conscious beings do naturally...(left alone and allowed to do so)
