I Pledge to be a servant to Obama video shown to schoolkids

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.

WTF Demi- "I pledge to be a servant to our President"? I wouldn't have said that even when President Ronald Reagan the Great was in office-and he never would've asked me to. I pledge to stop this Marxist takeover of my country.

“I Pledge to be a servant to Obama video shown to schoolkids”

Can anyone seriously argue this man is not a facist? The WWII documentaries are rife with stunned commentary about how the Germans blindly swore their allegiance not to their country, but to their leader. Is there really anyone who can’t see the comparison?

Compare and contract this with Palin’s governing philosophy with a “servant’s heart”

When I heard this that's the first thing I thought. I wonder if this is the oath that the civilian force (with the same funding as the military) will be required to take?

If you aren't outraged and frightened you're not paying attention.
