That’s rich.
You can’t worship G*d in school anymore, but it’s OK to worship the Obamessiah with the liturgy led by no other than Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, and a bunch of other Hollywood “luminaries” I didn’t know …
That I Pledge video is toxic. The newscaster says that 95% of the video is good stuff and only 5% is political, and probably the political stuff went over the heads of the elementary school students.
Huh? You’ve got movie stars saying “I pledge to serve President Obama” and kissing their biceps while intoning “Obama,” and you don’t think that’ll make a big impression? There’s also subliminal messaging going on.
This Obamessiah worship is getting out of hand and is downright scary. Can you imagine if a similar video had been shown substituting “W” for “Obama” when George W. Bush was President?
All H*ll would have broken loose. In this scenario, the principal’s apologizing for showing it, without having previewed it, and the media is saying 95% of the message is good.
DOUBLE STANDARD.
Sorry new, but I deleted your comments. You’re going to have to tighten them up a bit.
I just read the front page of http://www.republicansforignatieff.com . My head hurts.
