…to be a servant to our president:
MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge
Excuse me, but that is exactly what’s wrong with places like North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe and all the other hellholes in the world. Their people are, indeed, servants to their presidents.
The text of that video must have been written by not very bright sixth-graders who don’t understand what the hey are the implications of pledging to be A SERVANT to a head of state means.
Nothing is more insulting to the American public’s intelligence than to have this self-absorbed uneducated self-deluded fools telling them to be “servants to our president.”
Why don’t they, instead of nauseating us with their vacuous platitudes, go and visit the men and women who are serving our COUNTRY in our all-volunteer army, and thank them for their service?
I’m with Andrew Breitbart, who came out and said, I Pledge to Ridicule Celebrities Who Refuse to Recognize We Are At War With People Who Want to Kill Them, Too:
Missing are pledges not to kiss the ring of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and other pledged enemies of America. Nor are there pledges not to make movies that glorify these tyrants. Nor are there pledges to take seriously that we are at war, will continue to be at war under President Obama and that our precious and under-appreciated military is fighting an avowed and evil enemy — so that, among other things, Hollywood can continue to make decadent crap that actually motivates our enemy to fight us harder!
Go read the rest of that post.
That video makes me think we should rethink corporal punishment. Maybe a couple of good whacks on the a** might have taught these pompous twerps something at a crucial stage in their development.
I wish someone would teach these brats, a little history, for instance about Clara Barton. She didn’t oraganize protests in stupid costumes; she didn’t whine about something Larry Sommers said at Harvard. She got out and did something and was wounded at Antietam. I learned about her a long time ago on drives past Antietam when I was going to volunteer with the Junior Red Cross at a VA hospital. You could even go further back in world history and learn about the work of nuns in convents in the Middle Ages.
Guess what kids? You aren’t the beginning of the world and giving up a plastic bottle isn’t going to save it. Take out your dictionary and look up the word humility.
Sorry for the rant, Fausta. I’ve had it with the idiots.
I don’t feel the message is about enslavement, but rather, it is about serving your fellow man for the common good. A noble gesture indeed, even coming from celebrity types. My father was a missionary for 12 years, so I have witnessed first hand the results of serving ones fellow man, ones country, and ones god. All-in-all, I found the message to be quite positive. Nor do I believe this video diminishes the contributions of our soldiers and volunteers.
