Can't say the pledge of allegiance to the flag?

How about saying it to Obama?

Actress Jessica Alba asks voters to pledge allegiance to Obama



The Obama campaign has launched its “For All” campaign, encouraging supporters to take pictures of themselves with their hands on their hearts and a note explaining why they support President Obama.

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.”

And people say hollyweird celebrities are shallow. :D

Irony is a big government prick with the words "right to choose" scribbled on their hand.

Not much further now.... Pledge to the Fuhrer, he'll save you. For the love of Pete, default already, I cant bear to watch this level of idiocy.

Is it just me? Or is there something about marks on the right hand that sends chills down ones spine?

And over the heart, signifying a blood oath.

Someone should tweet them with a question asking about ending drug prohibition. Hell, how about repealing seatbelt laws?

[thehungarian]

Oh, Natalie...

Anyways, this "For All" thing that the Dems are doing all over twitter and shit is incredibly creepy and even more cheesy. I mean, are they trying to sway people with this tactic? If a Dem canvasser rang my doorbell and when I open the door they have their hands over their heart with some retarded childish rhetoric like that I would laugh in their face.

More self awareness, please. You are embarrassing yourselves.

Holy crap that was creepy anaconda.

[jclay2]

What is with Hollywood and making the state a god? Truly creepy. Just wait until they replace the pledge with blood oaths.

Oh wait, the Illuminati probably already do that.

Here is another creepy video of politician worship.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh kayyyyyyy, this second video is just outrageous. Within the first three minutes of all their circle-jerking pledges, did they ever think that every single one of those pledges could be done without voting for Obama or without even voting? Change your own life, and in doing so you may sway others to your side. You don't need to force it down our throat with this horseshit. God damnit I need a beer.

What is stopping these idiots from helping the poor or "ending slavery" or buying a hybrid or being happier in their own life? Is their own existence tied at the hip to whether or not Obama gets elected? It's just fucked up.

[Occam's Banana]

What is stopping these idiots from helping the poor or "ending slavery" or buying a hybrid or [...]?

Nothing is stopping them. They aren't doing any of those things because they don't actually care about any of those things.

What they really care about is making other people believe that they care about those things.

Hell, they may even be trying to make *themselves* believe that they really care about those things.


Within the first three minutes of all their circle-jerking pledges, [...]

Their blather isn't about doing or acheiving anything in particular. All that guff is just window-dressing for what they are really doing.

And what they are really doing is just a form of exhibitionism. They are gratuitously flaunting their sense of their own self-righteousness.

They are saying, "Look at us! Look at how much we care about these things! Aren't you impressed with how wonderful we are?"

It is, essentially, a form of public masturbation - and "circle-jerk" is the perfect metaphor for it.

I hear the teachers are big into Obama, what's next Obama Youth?


On April 20th, Hitler's birthday, a ceremony was held inside the ancient Marienburg Castle of the Teutonic Order. Amid the glow of torchlights, solemn beating of drums and fanfare of trumpets, ten-year-old boys entered the Jungvolk by swearing the following oath: "In the presence of this blood banner which represents our Führer, I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the savior of our country, Adolf Hitler. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him, so help me God." This was followed by the singing of the Hitler Youth anthem, the Fahnenlied (Banner Song) written by Schirach.

Yeah, except we are the ones that will have to eat the bread when they are finished.

It would be funny if we were to spoof this. Writing things on our hands like Indefinite Detention, Drone Strikes, Warrantless Wiretaps, $16 Trillion in debt. The only sad thing is that most folks assume if you ridicule one guy, this means you're for the other authoritarian.

As in support the constitution, vote for Romney? (just coughed up a hairball))

Good idea. Compile a video of this not in support of any one candidate, but just to deny the big two. Like, "if you're against... x, y, z STOP voting Republican and Democrat" or something... dunno....
