You Guys, This is Creepy

My pledge: Right now I am going to go around the house and turn on all the lights and flush all the toilets. Just because I want to and it's still legal to do so. Thank you Rod Dreher, my new favorite blogger, for making me aware of this.Oh, and hey, Demi, while you are freeing a million slaves this year, what are you going to do about the 1,000,000 babies that are being murdered through abortion in America? Oh, yeah, you are going to support my tax money going to fund them.

You guys, this is bad!

All I hear is Heil Obama.

1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

They had me at first. Basically, I didn't have a problem too much until they said we would serve our president and then all their voices and faces became the big face of Obama. Isn't he serving the country?? We don't serve him. That's just weird, cultish, and very very very creepy.

I have to admit, I actually feel scared now. That's scary.

I know. It's like if you say the ad is bad you are against smiling more, or for wasting water, or you don't want to help autistic people or whatever.

By the way, the question that comes to mind is, "Why couldn't these people pledge all these things when W was president?"

Great point about him serving us and not us serving him.

I'm linking a bunch of things and think that maybe we are living in an age where "leaders" are on the rise and want to be served.

This is creepy!

Okay, since I am the "Quote Lady". Here is an apropos one
"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president."
Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)

Great quote, Barb. Terry was pointing out that part of the creepiness of this was that they all turned into Obama at the end. Like we are one with or united in Obama.

If they would have had everyone turn into a map of the US or a flag it would have communicated the idea of all Americans doing their part to make the country better.
