I pledge?
1stCavRVN11B sent me this link to a Michelle Malkin post about a Utah elementary school principal who showed this video to 850 of his students;
According to the Deseret News, parents were pretty upset;
“I think it’s outrageous. It’s indoctrinating children in a leftist liberal political position,” Utah Eagle Forum President Gayle Ruzicka told the Deseret News Tuesday.
The video called “I Pledge!” was shown at an assembly of about 850 children on Friday to kick off the school’s annual theme of service, said Davis School District spokesman Chris Williams.
Parent Jennifer Cieslewicz, of Kaysville, who has a first-grader at Eagle Bay, told the Deseret News, “I am very upset, to say the least. Values are to be taught in the home – not the school. These kids are young and impressionable.”
The PTA President is shocked at the reaction;
Eagle Bay PTA President Jennifer Maxwell says she is shocked and surprised by people’s negative reaction to the video. “I thought it was inspirational,” Maxwell said. “It was intended to inspire kids to make a difference in the community. We weren’t trying to be political.”
Now, I don’t have a problem with the basic content of the video – all of those things that these self-absorbed, condescending Hollywood types talk about are things I’ve been doing for decades. But why all of a sudden are we supposed to do them this year?
The Right are apoplectic that this typical self-serving crap is being shown in schools. And, to a point I agree with them – but only because the Left would have been just as apoplectic if the exact same slick personality cult crap would have appeared on television last year with George W. Bush as the person we’re supposed to honor with our pledge to be better people. Of course, George Bush would never let this stuff fly related to his visage.
It’s garbage like this that makes the Far Right’s irrational fears seem less irrational. The video accomplishes nothing except drive a wedge between people – it amounts to gloating over the election. Like that 52 to 48 drivel.
And showing it in school? In Utah? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I’m trying to hold a moderate line here, Barrack – you’re not making it easy.

This reminds me of a video that came out during the campaign with a bunch of Hollywood celebrities toting the virtues of voting Democrat and for Obama. It was done in the same style. I wonder if the same team put this one together.
I didn’t watch the whole thing but the one part that got me was where they were saying “I pledge to to go to USA Service dot org”
A lot of the other stuff was just typical stuff you might hear from a beauty pageant contestant bent on bringing world peace and saving the unicorns.
Oh and the stuff about flushing was just gross.
Question, did the recite the Pledge of Allegance during this assembly?
I pledge…
To never watch that drizzling sluice of horseshit ever again.
Seriously, what the hell was that?
Ok,my 14 year old Quincy said: “Oh my go-osh.” that’s bad.
🙂
Don’t look at me – I homeschool.
I’m going get a list of those who ‘pledged’ in that video…next year’s entertainment bill will be a fuck-load cheaper as a result.
*I* pledge to do all I can to defeat ANY candidate supporting the empty-suited, Anti-American racist bigot of the White House’s policies.
*I* pledge to NEVER watch ANY movie or TV show with ANY of those morons in it.
That’s what *I* pledge.

Barf. They all make me sick. Demi Moore was on Oprah and spouting about how fucking happy she was with her new President. Can you say airhead?
Claymore…yes, indeed. My bill keeps getting cheaper every year…
Now that Barack Obama is President all of these spoiled Hollywood halfwits are pledging to become decent people?
What a bunch of pathetic, narcissists.
Am I the only one who did not know who some of these people were? I kind of liked some of the sentiments, like the pledge to be an American rather than an African American. However, what does the ONE have to do with most of this? Why couldn’t they make the same pledge after 9/11 or four years ago? What these morons do not seem to realize, is the the men and women of the armed forces made a significantly larger pledge to defend their right to be self-righteous. They aslo don’t seem to realize is that these are the same ideas Bush Sr. had with his 1,000 points of light or Bush Jr. had with his work in Africa. Of course they will never admit that.
I pledge to help defeat Barack Obama in 2012…
One thing these idiots don’t understand is that our military and law enforcement pledge their allegiance to the U.S. and State Constitutions not a single man. And the majority of these individuals believe in a democratic and capitalistic system along with most Americans.
Ringo the Gringo, you called it right:
What a bunch of pathetic, narcissists
OK, usually I’m with you all..but really, besides the stem cell research, what was so bad about what they said? Get involved w/ your community-Good. Be an American-Good. Plant trees-Good, do something for someone other then yourself-Good.
Only because it was to support the Pres, you all flip. Big friggen deal. We wanted people to support Bush in the Wars..they want people to Support Obummer with doing for others.
Relax, get a bj, and drive on….
Obama has proved himself a liar, to me. I trust him about as far as I can throw the Moon.
I do not serve the president he serves me
Here’s a partial list:
George Lopez, Jason Bateman, Dakota Fanning, Nicole Richie, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Kevin Connolly, Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz, Molly Sims, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Kiedis, Wyclef Jean, Eva Longoria, Michelle Trachtenberg…
Not promoting a boycott or anything, just offering up information so you can make more informed entertainment choices. I do it because I pledged to care more…
…few more:
P-Diddy (or whatever the fuck he’s calling himself this year), Marisa Tomei, Jamie Pressly, Eva Mendez, Rita Wilson, Alyssa Milano…
In retrospect, I have to admit, I don’t give these shitheads any of my money now, so…/shrug/
Sorry, I’m too busy to make any trendy “pledge” right now. You see, all of you Hollywood privileged elites, I’m in the Persian Gulf right now proudly serving my country on my third active duty recall since September 11th. When I get back, I’ll be too busy to make pledges because I’ll be answering fire calls in the middle of the night, and then going to my full time job as an attorney in the day. On weekends, I’ll be busy as a church elder, building homes destroyed by nature and coordinating clothing drives. I’ll be coaching little league and soccer leagues and serving as an assistant with my son’s Cub Scout pack. I’ll also be at the American Legion serving dinners for World War II veterans. Then, by example, I will be teaching my children of these virtues by doing — not talking. I don’t need Demi Moore to tell my daughter about pledges and service. Really, I don’t.
Most of all, I will be doing this no matter who the President is or will be.

Quoted for emphasis. Thanks, man.
This is the same commercial that was played on tv during the inaugural week. I saw it several times on pretty much every station. It’s full of the same libtard hollyweird types that were in the anti-Iraq war video back in 2003. It was probably produced by the same people, or person (Soros) as the other one, also.
What is bad is the “servant to my president” part. The intention is to influence children to beleive that being a good person, and all the things mentions, include serving Obama.
It’s cult of personality to the fullest.
Thank you Adirondack Patriot. For your service and for raising good kids.

The single word that comes to mind when I watch this is creepy followed by WTF, if thats actually a word. Where the frak were these people before? Now they get their guy in the big house and they are all about some civic virtue and shit. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.
What did Demi Moore have to be happy about? Hmmm? I can’t think of one damn thing he’s done, that would make ANYone happy. Oh except the pro-abortion people, they got a little, and the human rights idiots, they got Gitmo started. But seriously? I have a friend who said she thought he was doing a “stellar” job. WTF?
I can’t believe these people (whoever some of them are) are so whacked they are proud of their little video. But to show it in a school? That is just 100% wrong.
Adirondack Patriot, thank you for your service. As to this video by vidiots, it ought to be erased from youtube. As has been posted by many here, where were these people before the Dear Leader was annointed? It’s only cool to be involved if the pres is 7 degrees left of Karl Marx and Carl Levin.
“Eva Longoria…”
The baseball player?
AP, thanks for your continued service.
