Reflections From a Murky Pond

I’m not outright saying that “Creepy Uncle Joe” Biden is a pedophile – though he has a multi-decades-long history of coming across as one – or that he’s knowing and deliberately directly involved in child trafficking. This is more of a case of sufficient apathy and incompetence being indistinguishable from malfeasance and culpability.

Biden & Co.’s rush to get unaccompanied illegal immigrant children out of the processing centers at our beleaguered southern border and into our country has resulted in 85,000 of those 300,000 unaccompanied minors going missing. They’re in the wind and utterly unaccounted for… except for those that been found as victims of trafficking, both sexual and otherwise. They were so concerned about getting votes and overturning any and all border security measures enacted by or under President Trump that they seemingly didn’t give a tinker’s dam about what happened to these children afterwards. Or, maybe they did, since illegals serving as something akin to slave labor seems to be a core component of Democrat economic policy.

As I said at the beginning though, I don’t believe that this is something that Biden is actively shooting for. I do, however, believe that the situation is indistinguishable from it and the Biden and his people should be dealt with exactly as if he and they were deliberately committing child trafficking.

On Wednesday, July 2, 2008, the Democratic Presumptive Presidential Nominee Sen. Barack Obama, in his speech at the University of Colorado on national service, promised that, if elected as president of the United States of America he would “set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year.”

Sen. Obama has promised that he would ensure that these federally mandated goals are met by, among other things, attaching strings to federal education dollars. States whose school systems and universities didn’t meet federal quotas for student performed public service hours would be denied federal educational dollars.

While this plan does not – despite some conservative pundit’s rants – violate the 13th Amendment which outlawed slavery and most other forms of forced servitude, it is still a vile and pernicious assault on both States’ rights and individual liberty.

One must remember that a similar (mis)use of federal education dollars to enforce a federally mandated curriculum, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), has been reviled and complained about for years now. Yet it at least centered on curriculum and results-oriented accountability, whereas Obama’s proposed use of federal education dollars is for the purpose of mandating public service efforts by students.

Perhaps Sen. Obama should spend less time analyzing how he could, if elected as president, circumvent the 10th Amendment – which strictly limits the powers of the Federal Government – and spend more time reviewing the relevant Child Labor laws such as the the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

NOTE: This post only deals with that part of Obama’s National Service plan that deals with using federal education dollars to coerce the States into requiring public service work-hour quotas from students. There are other points in his plan that I endorse in principle, though as in all things involving the federal bureaucracy, I am skeptical of the implementation.

The Peoples Republic of China (PRC), in response to disturbing levels of childhood mortality has enacted new safety programs aimed at decreasing the number of deaths among Chinese children. Recently China’s State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) has, in the wake of increased international scrutiny and outrage, become concerned about how such high levels of childhood mortality might effect the image of China.

China’s State Administration of Work Safety has passed new regulations requiring appropriate safety notices to be placed in all Chinese factories in the hopes of alleviating this problem.

Li Yizhong, China’s Minister of the State Administration of Work Safety admits that the signs may not be enough. There is admitted concern that since the workers duty shifts interfered with pre-school and elementary school schedules, the workers might not be able to read the notices. This could cause the children to continue to embarrass China by dying in inappropriately public locations. With the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and their attendant merchandising opportunities this causes Mr. Yizhong’s administration grave concern.

NOTE: This post was pure sarcasm and should be taken as such; I found the image of the sign on the internet and have no idea of its providence. China’s child labor practices are sadly real though and growing exponentially due to the increased need for workers to produce goods for the 2008 Genocide, Infanticide, Godless, Olympic Games.
