Hitler Youth - by Nathan Krekula

Hitler Youth was the persona of discipline of the Third Reich and a well organized one at that. In 1939, the German law made it compulsory that all youth attend Hitler Youth events. The Hitler Youth focused on 10 to 18 year olds. There were separate organizations for boys and girls. The task of the boys section was to prepare the boys for military service. For girls, the organization prepared them for motherhood. We all know the evils of the Third Reich and the atrocities Hitler planned to act out in what he called “the Arian race.”

You would think that this evil was long put to rest at the end of World War II, but you would be wrong. Passed by the House of Representatives with a 321-105 margin, HR 1388: the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act, dubbed the “GIVE” act, would require the US government to develop a plan to implement a “service requirement for all able young people.” This service sounds a lot like the Hitler Youth. What is more scary than the potential of making participation in GIVE mandatory is the activities prohibited by participants include lobbying, protesting, unionizing, participating in the political process, and even church attendance (Sec. 1304, Sec. 125). Yes, church attendance. This is a clear and intentional violation of the First Amendment.

When we give our children to the government, we lose our freedom. Why would we so willingly give our youth over to socialism and poison all the blood shed for freedom? The government should not and cannot take on the job of the church and should not see itself as philanthropic. Service cannot replace religion. What better way to pull this nation deeper into socialism than, like Hitler, indoctrinating the youth of the USA with the lie of socialism. HR 1388 passed the House on March 18, 2009, and the Senate on March 26, 2009, and each day left-wing Marxists are moving us closer to the edge of the collapse of this great Nation.
