and I respect your opinions. You seem to be a very responsible parent who has raised good kids. But - that Pledge video is creepy. It is very different than any political rally I have been to. (I pledge to be a servant of BO???? really????)

As for the personality cult thing being a scare tactic - ok, call it that if you will. I think of it as being vigilant. History repeats itself. There are a lot of social issues (i.e. abortion - couched in the language "women's health issues") that are accepted by some that I strongly disagree with. I think that our arrogant President would love to turn the youth of America into little Obamabots. Sorry. I don't trust him.

It has made for some very "interesting" discussions in our household. LOL

I think some people read too much into the "pledge commercial". It's simply some well-known people pledging to do more for the planet & their fellow man. Only one odd duck pledges directly to Obama, in those words. The others pledge to be a servant of the President of the United States and to all mankind. What a nice cult that would be. And the pledge to the President is a pledge made by every serviceman & woman when they are sworn in, as far as I know. Or am I wrong on that?

as I recall - Lord knows I said it five times and should remember, lol, the military swear to protect and defend the constitution of the US against all enemies, foreign and domestic, obey the orders of the POTUS and officers appointed over them.

Not quite the same thing, but I see your point.

Sorry. "obey the orders of the POTUS" just sounds funny.
I never claimed to be mature. ;)
