Actress Jessica Alba asks voters to pledge allegiance to Obama
The Examiner ^ | September 20, 2012 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 09/20/2012 2:19:52 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

Actress Jessica Alba uses the Pledge of Allegiance as an example of the campaign in an email to supporters.

“Growing up, my classmates and I started every day with a ritual: We’d stand up, put our right hand over our hearts, and say the Pledge of Allegiance,” explains Alba. “To me, that gesture was a promise. A promise to be involved and engaged in this country’s future. A promise to work for liberty and justice — and for affordable education, health care, and equality — for all.”

Alba joins Hollywood actresses Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson by photographing herself with her hand on her heart pledging to vote for Obama.

“That’s why all across the country, people like you and I are proudly writing down our reasons for getting involved, and then taking the pledge — to vote.”

Obama campaign staffers have also begun posting photos of themselves with the pledge.

“Make sure you’re ready to vote this fall,” Alba writes. “Putting your hand over your heart is making a promise. Casting your ballot is keeping it.”

I pinged Libertarians to show how demented Obama’s most fervent supporters are. This illustrates how support for Big Government can morph into state worship.

Hey Alba, once you start pledging an allegiance to a man, and not the flag of our country, you are one step from slavery.

History, Jessica, teaches us some very harsh lessons.

History is worth reading, lest we repeat it.

When Hitler came to power, one of his innovations was to have people—especially the military and those who served him politically—take oaths to support HIM, personally, rather than to the service of the country.

Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat it.

If she is that interested in making education and health care affordable I am sure she has emptied her bank account and given it to needy students and sick people. What? She just wants me to pay for them? Never mind...

This worship of Obama is the WORST part of the whole thing. Seriously, this must be stopped. This is ruining American Politics, it may already be irretrevable. When this kind of whoreship of a person is socially acceptable, its over...

Ah, got it.

Statism is a really f--ed up religion; it's 'god' will never acknowledge you as a person and will be all too glad to destroy you or your life's work, without the slightest thought or provocation. (I mean, look at what they do to people who try to buy/sell/drink raw milk.)

Actors, celebrities and the media will continue to lick the boots of their socialist overlords until the socialists begin to kill them, but by then no one will care.

This is precisely the reason I can never fathom how any freeper would go see a Hollywood produced movie, purchase “popular music”, or otherwise support anything from the “entertainment industry”. And yet it seems every few months or so we see a thread about how good such and such a movie was, or how good such and such contestant on a tv show was. This supposed “actress” chick has the brains of a bacteria.

What is terrifying is that this is the ideology of the guy in the Offal Office.
