What does the right wing stand for these days? Can anyone get a handle on the Republican party lately? Government can’t solve our problems, they say? So who is to realign the private banking sector? The Republicans say health care needs to be reformed. So who is supposed to lead the charge? Obviously government doesn’t have the answer. And now from the belly of those who are "fair and balanced" comes an assault on volunteerism. That font of rationale, Glenn Beck, makes a mockery of those who give their time to help the less fortunate. It really needs to be seen to be believed. In an homage to National Socialism, it is presumed, Beck takes aim at the Americorps creed. The Americorps, after all, is a government institution that enables primarily the youth of this country to make a difference in their communities and the nation as a whole. It is a domestic form of the Peace Corps. Now, conservatives are making an association of fascism and volunteerism? It just goes to show how shallow and self absorbed the party of Lincoln has become. Don’t tax the rich and by all means don’t join a government organization whose creed is fascistic.

Or is it liberals who are willing to get their hands dirty doing the work that Conservatives find beneath them?
