The Obama “I Pledge Video”
These Hollywood elites are really growing tiresome…
I’ve noticed a trend in the media trying to portray Obama as a more sympathetic figure. All I can say is boo hoo… poor Obama.
I also like the fact they are targeting this video to elementary students. Via Pat Dollard:
Children at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington were shown a short video called “I pledge” on Aug. 28. The video opens with an image of President Barack Obama and part of a speech in which he says, “Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.” The video then features celebrities making pledges about how they will help the president and the world — and that’s where some say the problem lies.
Many pledges, such as supporting local food banks, smiling more, and caring for the elderly are noncontroversial. But other pledges, such as “to never give anyone the finger when I’m driving again,” “to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid” and to advance stem cell research cross the line, some say.
“Showing the video in a public school is completely inappropriate,” said Jennifer Cieslewicz, whose daughter is a first-grader at the school. “I don’t believe a video such as this that promotes certain values should be shown to elementary students, especially without parents being aware. ”
I pledge to fight against blatant political indoctrination by pulling my child out of school whenever this type of propoganda is going to be shown. I pledge to tell as many of my friends as I can that this video is an attempt to hide political objectives behind flowery sentimentality and ask them to view it, without there children present, so that they can see for themselves the extent that the current political powers will go to manipulate the young minds of the country that I love. I pledge to not to go quietly into the night. I will be heard. I will not be silenced. I pledge to remain steadfast in my attempts to keep America free from socioal agendas that threaten to destroy democracy. I am not a violent man and do not intend to become one. I do solumnly pledge to use my voice without fail to promote freedom and the American way as it is vividlydescribed in The Constitution of The United States of America. So help me GOD!
Nicely put…
