“I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama”

As if I needed any more evidence to bolster today’s column about the Obama junior lobbyist campaign in America’s schools, here’s another item fresh from the headlines in Utah:
A school principal has apologized for showing a video at an assembly that a politically conservative group leader is calling “radical, leftist propaganda.”
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…
… Gayle Ruzicka, president of conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said the video was blatantly political. She said other offensive pledges included, “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” “I pledge allegiance to the funk, to the united funk of funkadelica,” and pledges to not use plastic grocery bags and not flush the toilet after urinating.
“It’s very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children,” Ruzicka said. “If parents want their children to learn about those things and do them in the home, wonderful, fine, but it’s not the place of the school to show a one-sided propaganda piece to children without parents knowing about it.”
Cieslewicz said such values should be decided in the home, not at school.

I want to gag. . . and I think I’ll have nightmares. . . .
I had to go back and watch it again, having barf bag handy, and caught the idiot talking about his bodily functions. You really wonder if he’s going to be proud to show that to his kids and grandkids one day.
It would be better termed a pledge to get “serviced” by Obama.
Like the bull services the cow…
Now I realize WHY BHO focused on our US Constitution in law school – it’s his greatest obstacle to dictatorship.
I pledge….
…to never, ever watch a Demi moore or Ashton Crutcher movie again for the rest of my days…
I pledge….
…to go out and buy the oldest, biggest-engined, four-wheel-drive, gas-guzzling truck, not only because they plow through blizzard conditions as if they weren’t even there, but because it wiull make the libsl eftists, and green heads angry….
I pledge….
…to continue to point out the flaws in President Barack Hussein Obama’s administration, his policies, his desires to change the USA into an oligarchy and dictatorship, and his actiosn as President of the United States of America…
I pledge….
…to cast my ballot against Democrats and their RINO Allies in the congress next year, and against them again in 2012….
I pledge….
…to continue to pray that God wold do a miraculous change in the heaert and life of President Obama so that he will see the error of his ways….
I pledge….
…to continue to call for the State Government of Hawai’i to become as transparent as the President said he’d be, and open up, be honest, and show the populace of the US of A President Obama’s birth certificate….
I pledge….
…to contiue to use electricity at normal levels for home comfort; natural gas and oil at regular intervals to keep my house and home warm; to continue to drink water from plastic bottles because bottled water now tastes better than ever; to flush each and every time I use the bathroom, so that my house and toilet don’t get stinky.
I pledge….
…to continue to support men and women such as Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and other conservative commentators who are proving themselves to be not just a nuisence to the left, but a foil, counter, and truth-bearing group who want nothing but for the U.S. of A. to be all that God intends her to be…
I pledge…
…to continue to “cling to (my) gun, (my) religion, and (my) beliefs” — not ot mention my Bible — because in the arena of debate and upholding all that is right in the U.S. of A., truth always trumps feeling and emotion…
I pledge…
…to use my God-given, U.S. Constitutionally-protected, U.S. Citizenship-allowed right to vote Barack Hussein Obama out of office in the 2012 election.
What’s your pledge?
Is it any wonder why we call PBO “Dear Leader”?
Oh, and, just image the apoplexy that would have emanated from the left wingnuts had the Bush Administration done anything like this.
