Have you seen the "I Pledge" video?

My 18 year old son just recently got "The Card". I took the opportunity to explain to him his duty, if he chose to join the military forces, was to protect the constitution. His duty was to country and not to the president or to the government.

I have not heard it....you got link for me? I find it just plain wrong to "pledge" to an individual. Pledge to the country...yes. But to a person. Oh no. I draw the line there. I went to youtube and did a search engine. I saw a I pledge video a bunch of celebrities made that in a couple of places said "I pledge to be a servant to Obama". I thought Obama was the "public servant" not us. He is our "servant". We are not his. Talk about scarey. You know because of who the celebrities are they are aiming this at our youth. The message itself is not bad. Espect for the whole pledging to obama part. Too bad they did not leave that part out. One more thing I won't let my kids see.

My son sent ot to me in an email and we both think it is very creepy. Very creepy!

I saw it. It was made by a production company owned by Aston Kutcher. Personally, I am a little tired of celebrities and brainless Hollywood types thinking they have a right to make public policy or even being so conceited as to think we care about their political views. If anything, their personal revelations have made me less of a fan of some celebrities than I would have been if they just did their jobs as actors. This video came to attention of the media when an elementary school showed it to an assembly without previewing it. The parents were very upset about everything from "I pledge not to give other drivers the finger" to the "I pledge to serve Barack Obama". Even the more innocuous messages were values they felt were the parents' right and responsibility to teach their children. I have to agree with them. I also agree with you. It's creepy.

i heard about it on CNN and i've heard there are states and groups that refuse to let the children hear it. as it sounds to much like what started out with the nazi party and Hitler which is what is really worrying a lot of us. we are so happy to have a unique and different kind of president that no one seems (i mean not enough people) to realise whats really going on. just as they didnt until Hitler was in total power. thats why your getting the creeps. some of us have "intuition".. I would have rather Bill Cosby. a while back i got an email about some of his beliefs and i thought they were right on.

I heard parts of this on my radio too. It is scary. We should pledge allegiance to our country but not one person in particular. yikes! They shouldn't put him on a pedestal like that. He's just a man. And so far I don't see things changing that much. We are still in a recession and his health care proposals haven't satisfied people. My husband still has a job, thank God but there are many who don't. I think that should be his first priority.

I think they wrote the script straight from 1984. I saw it and lost what little respect I had left for these stars. That is disgusting. I pledge allegiance to my flag and country.

Here is a link for the video. It IS creepy. The end of the video gave me the feeling of a hypnotic trance sort of compliance, something like the women in the Stepford Wives movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51kAw4OTlA0

Yeh, great stuff indeed, brainless, thoughtless, drooling sheep on parade. I adnit, there are some pledges to some good causes, I think a little public service is good, but this is a bit hoky. If one is truly interested in public service, one just does it. And the lines in the video pledging to "serve the president" were APPALLING. THOSE people deserve what ever dictatorship they open the country to with this mentality. the presidnet SERVES US, we DON'T serve HIM.
