These people are pretty scary looking, especially toward the end. This is definitely cultist behavior.

And why couldn’t they have pledged to make the world a better place before now?

In Which I Eat a Mixture of Crow and My Own Words…To a Point…

These are people like Demi Moore, who said in this video, “I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind.” This type of sentiment was never directed toward President Bush, and to me it seems a little creepy….

Why is it that liberals have to precede their declaration to do something by 76 trombones and conservatives quietly decide what to do then do it. Oh! I remember now talk is cheap.

Now we know how Joe Stalin got his start. I pledge to be of service to President Obama? These people really do need a messiah. Still, if this is what it takes to motivate them to service, perhaps it isn’t all bad. I just wait for the day when Obama finds out he can’t please everybody and then the fecal matter will hit the fan.

I don’t know if Obama cultists will ever change. But yeah, scratch an Obamaton and you’ll find a totalitarian-in-waiting.

And of course, as usual, the ultimate comment from Dave Burge at the essential Iowahawk:

Another emo music d-bag in a jaunty thrift shop straw chapeau

As with all IowaHawk columns, there comes a line that leaves me laughing helplessly, sometimes on the floor.

One of the Obama Pledgers is Jamie Pressly, of “My Name is Earl” fame. This past Dec., there was an “Earl” episode titled “Orphan Earl”, where Pressly’s character mocks charity. Her character, Joy, steals specifically from a guy who wants to help African orphans, Katrina victims and people devastated by disasters.
Ironic that hypocracy can be so artfully demonstrated.

“The concept seems to be ‘Pay it Forward,’ but with a creepy loyalty oath to our new leader mixed in for good measure:

“We call it a Presidential Pledge. We have gathered a group of individuals who share the courage to pledge to our president,”

Wild guess here, none of these folks are historical scholars?

Pledge of Allegiance
“I promise to do my duty in love and loyalty to Obama and our flag.”

It used to be

Pledge of Allegiance

“I promise to do my duty in love and loyalty to the Führer and our flag.”

“I like the one who pledges to plant 500 trees.
I pledge to chop down 1,000 trees.
Just because.”

If you send me $20.00 per month I will not cut down a tree in my yard and I will send you a receipt for $20.00 of “carbon credits”

I know this is overstating the obvious, but what was stopping them before from dong all the things they now “Pledge” to do?

Are they actually claiming that before Obama they were all moronic imbecilic dolts?

If all these things are so important to these a**hats, then why weren’t they involved with them already? Having G.W. as president in no way impeded them from charity work. Does a republican president mean they shut off helping the poor and saving the world? Is it that they spend all of their energy spewing hate against the president that they cannot afford charitable deeds? Why only now can they do this? Makes me sick.
