re: #292 jaunte

Beck is pathetic in his knee-jerk opposition to volunteering just because the President is suggesting it. What’s he going to say if Obama recommends we all work hard and care of our families?

It’s breathtakingly stupid. Imagine what it would be like if local businesses coordinated to set up farmer’s markets in urban areas on weekends. It would help local farmers and bring customers into the city. Imagine if neighbors got together, cleared and empty lot and started community gardens, baseball fields or playgrounds. There’s a lot of talk about free market solutions from the right these days. This is it. This is exactly what the right should be doing but they won’t because Obama wants it too. Disgraceful.
