!! what the!!!
It’s great that all these RICH hollywood stars are pledging to help US! Isn’t that great? I will be writing to Ashton and Demi for a zero-interest loan of like, one million dollars. No, a gift to me of 1 million dollars. They’re loaded so it shouldn’t make a dent in their bank accounts.
Yeah. I pledge to work really hard to get obama and the liberals out of their offices. I also pledge to work hard to stop further big government encroachment on our Constitutional liberties.

I pledge to STOP BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA from destroying the United States of America.

“Parents upset over ‘leftist propaganda’ video”
What a brain-dead, hero worship video. Embarrassing. If this keeps up actors/actresses/musicians are going to be relegated to porn star status:::Just do you thing, then shut up and leave. Leave the rest of the world to grownups. Or join a religious cult, Keith Olberman fan club,etc.
“Cheney For President? Slim Odds But Not Impossible”
Probably past the right age, but I would have him on the trail to tear up liberal arguments, especially national security issues and counteracting the wannabe Castro in 2012.
“Media Mislead With Coverage Of Town Halls”
Get ready for Obama’s media counterinsurgency. Already today, some older man, walking through an anti-reform protest to get to a pro-reform one, go into a fight with another man(ant-reform) and had his finger bit off. Also, today on MSNBC, they showed a woman in a wheelchair getting shouted down for wanting financial help because of her medical conditon. Conservatives need to get ready because the liberals are not rolling over, but changing strategies. It is just like Ann Coulter said, Democrats don’t get rid of ideas, just rename and repackage them. No public option? They will bury a clause in there somewhere. They just need to get a quick vote, then a seal of the bill.
“Report: Meatpacking plants wrongly fired Muslims”
Radical Islam, the real enemy. All the feminists, gays, and lesbians need to visit a predominantly muslim country and see how that works out for them. We are starting to get too PC with the Islamic community, heading toward the European path. Hollywood and the MSM seem to be scared. They already have more respect than Christians which tells you no one has really read the Koran. But another terrorist attack in the U.S. could change that quick. Oh, what an I talking about? That threat is gone, the world loves Obama! My bad!
‘Staff as ‘Forgetful’ as the Boss”
Imagine a conservative trying to get away with this. NBC,CBS,ABC,WP,NYT,MSNBC, and the rest of leftwing attack dogs would be frontpaging the hell out of this. What a pathetic media we now have, I have more respect for China Daily and Pravda. Our MSM, with a few exception, cashed in their credibility card years ago. They are strictly ho’s for the left now.

Have any of these people heard of Josef Goebbels?
Anyway, in the spirit of the thing, I pledge:
Never to see another movie with Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, or Carmen Diaz (the only ones I could peg; would appreciate knowing the identity of others).
Did you catch all that? They are pledging to help Barrack Hussein Obama. They need to be reminded that tyrannies rarely rise up suddenly; the do so by degrees, and there are always a few who recognize what is going on, but they are often marginalized and vilified.
It’s not as if we haven’t been here before.

There is also that IndyMac thing. The Democrats have really profited from these crises.

Uncle Rick:
Speaking of Nazis and Goebbels:
“After the failure of the putsch, Hitler turned to “legal revolution”
as the means to power and chose two parallel paths to take the Nazis to that goal. First, the NSDAP would employ propaganda to create a national mass party capable of coming to power through electoral successes. Second, the party would develop a bureaucratic structure and prepare itself to assume roles in government.”
“Had it not been for the economic collapse that began with the Wall
Street stock market crash of October 1929, Hitler probably would not have come to power. The Great Depression hit Germany hard because the German economy’s well-being depended on short-term loans from the United States. Once these loans were recalled, Germany was devastated. Unemployment went from 8.5 percent in 1929 to 14 percent in 1930, to 21.9 percent in 1931, and, at its peak, to 29.9 percent in 1932.”
“In times of desperation, voters are ready for extreme solutions, and the NSDAP exploited the situation. Skilled Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels launched an intensive media campaign that ceaselessly expounded a few simple notions until even the dullest voter knew Hitler’s basic program. The party’s program was broad and general enough to appeal to many unemployed people, farmers, white-collar workers, members of the middle class who had been hurt by the Depression or had lost status since the end of World War I, and young people eager to dedicate themselves to nationalist ideals.”

I Pledge to explain to children who see this video that the people in it are actors, Basically people who are paid to lie for a living.
on a side note there was one thing that I liked in the video, “I pledge to be an American not an African American” If this was true it would make that video and the propaganda it spewed forth worth it

“Oops. Parents will be voting next year as well…”
I REALLY wish next year were THIS year so we could DO something about the Dems DESTROYING our country damn it..
“..and talks of the “blessed day” when Dick Cheney dies.”
then are some of us justified in wondering if Obama will be assasinated because he’s a foreign national who knows too much?
“Sen. Kerry Recycles Greenpeace’s Lie About Arctic Ice”
environmental suckas, hee hee
“The problem is we know too much about his “vision” ”
and what “change” means. I’m scared, Bob…
“BP Finds ‘Giant’ Oil Source Deep Under Gulf of Mexico”
I heard about that, sounds fantastic, hopefully it’ll lessen our dependence on Middle East oil. “I did?” ha ha! that’s GOT to be your funniest caption yet. that would be quite extraordinary – “Virginia man Finds ‘Giant’ Oil Source Deep Under Gulf of Mexico”, nice.
“Mass. considers naming landmarks for Sen. Kennedy”
2 words – Kennedy docks

I pledge to raise my 2 kids so that they never look to Hollywood as a source of intelligence, leadership, inspiration or values.

Michelle’s Hair
Michelle Obama looks great whatever she wears. If you compare photos of her taken during the campaign with photos taken since she’s been First Lady you can see that she’s become very glamorous and HIGH MAINTENANCE. Few woman black or white can compete with this. It costs too much money but what’s worse, IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME. The black professional women I see take good care of themselves and it shows. I wish they didn’t worry so much about their hair. If it’s any comfort, white women spend a lot of bucks on perms to make straight hair curly, highlighting, coloring, cutting, styling, etc.

n.n:
Thanks for the snapshot history piece. Take all that and add the communist tactic of sloganeering and you’ve got the 2008 Obama campaign. Slogans are great because they mean whatever the Obamabot wants them to mean.

Mass. Naming Landmarks after Ted
Why don’t they rename the whole state?
September 3rd, 2009 at 4:32 pm
“Feeding America” — are these the people saying 1 in 8 Americans struggles with hunger? What, are we a 3rd world country now?

Uncle Rick:
The same tactics were used in the CCCP.
Bottom-line is that we should remain informed of their agendas and wary of their motives. This is, however, worth remembering regardless of who’s in power; but, it is especially relevant now.
