One might think "mandated community service" to be a "socialist" position, but it isn't. As a democratic socialist, I think it's a really bad idea and it not only infringes on civil liberties but also the right of parents to raise their children as they deem best.
Respectfully, those on the left who think this is a good idea may not recognize that it oversteps the line between ideology and freedom .. the very same mistake republicans made with Bush.
Obama also wants to add 100,000 more into the military .. and that ain't socialism either.
This is interesting. One of the very FEW members of this board who ADMITS they are a socialist actually thinks this is a bad idea.
