Newspeak or, How to Violate the 13th Amendment in One Easy Lesson

HR1388=S3577=S277 or, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, a sin by any other name is still a sin...
The infamous HR1388, passed by the House on March 18, is now under debate in the Senate, and, morphed as it is to hide both intent and content, has had its names changed and bundled to confuse everyone by sliding it forward under Ted Kennedy's original Americorp, under an altruistic sounding "Serve America" title.

Codename: Violation of the 13th Amendment, which states,
Article. XIII.

[Proposed 1865; Ratified 1865]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.

Clearly, even to those would would prefer to think otherwise, this abomination of a bill is not only unconstitutional, but the fact that The Powers That Be have attempted to bury it beneath layers of renamed clutter and a plethora of amendments, stands as testimony to the intent to deceive the public and abrogate the Constitution yet once more. While it has not yet passed in the Senate, a motion for cloture was passed, to stop debate and filibustering. Our Logistics Monster, Savante Extroadinaire, has been monitoring the process for us, and for further enlightenment, I refer readers to her at http://logisticsmonster.com, where blow by blow updates continue.

I urge all to join us tonight at 8:30 PM EST on www.blogtalkradio.com/The-Youtube-Forum as I co host tonight to discuss this and other First Amendment horrors.

*Newspeak: In George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, the fictional language Newspeak attempts to influence thought by influencing the expressiveness of the English language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak
