Rep. Rangel Wrangling to Reinstate Slavery in the United States
Posted by David Kramer on July 23, 2010 05:33 PM

As the two-year investigation into the alleged wrongdoings of Rep. Charles 
Rangel (D-NY) which I’ve already written about here and here comes to an end, 
the soon-to-be dis-Honorable (I hope, but I’m not holding my breath) Rangel 
wants young Americans to become slaves of the State. He has sponsored H.R. 5741 
which proposes:

“To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to 
perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in 
civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, 
to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime 
to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other 
purposes.”

I’m still trying to figure out how a Black Congressman­who should know the U.S. 
Constitution which he has sworn to uphold­somehow never got around to reading 
the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment 
for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within 
the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate 
legislation.”

Maybe I’m wrong. Perhaps it’s considered “neither slavery nor involuntary 
servitude” if you’re forced to work for your government country.

David:  You must remember that the 13th Amendment did not end slavery, but only 
nationalized it.  The state wanted to end government-enforced private slavery 
so as to get rid of the competition!

Recall the words of Ezra Pound:  “A slave is one who waits for someone to come 
and free him.”
