Not sure how many have heard about the video by now, I wonder what everyone's thoughts on the matter are.

Also, come Tuesday, most of America's schools are going to have a videocast from the president. Apparently there will be a paper accompanying it. One of the questions listed is "Write yourself a letter describing how you can help the president."

Thoughts?

"I pledge to be a servant to our president and all mankind"
This video reminds me of something out of the past.

"I swear by almighty God this sacred oath:
I will render unconditional obedience
to the Fuehrer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler,
Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht,
and, as a brave soldier,
I will be ready at any time
to stake my life for this oath."
- The Fuehrer Oath (effective August 2, 1934) - http://tinyurl.com/davyuy

Adolf also knew the easiest minds to propagandize were the youth of Germany
I used to belong to an organization that wore uniforms, carried out bizarre rituals, and took oaths.

It was called the Boy Scouts of America.
Boy Scout Oath
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my Country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Boy Scout Law
A Scout is:
Trustworthy
Loyal
Helpful
Friendly
Courteous
Kind
Obedient
Cheerful
Thrifty
Brave
Clean
and Reverent.

Nothing bizarre here. I think you must have been in some other youth group.
Well, the Order of the Arrow did some fairly weird stuff.
Equating Obama with Hitler ought to qualify as racist. There are no other grounds for this stuff. None whatever. Being able to photoshop an image only proves that you have a computer.
If equating Obama with Hitler ought to qualify as racist then equating Bush to Hitler is racist too.

You racist liberal:



I don't remember Fang1944 comparing Bush to Hitler. I don't recall that ever happening on this forum at all, until you posted those pictures just now.
I never compared Bush to Hitler. When it comes to being evil, if you go by number of people killed, it's Chairman Mao first, Stalin second, Hitler third, then you have lesser killers like Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, Alexander the Great, Pol Pot, etc. Bush's killing is kind of minor compared to most of those guys.
How is this racist? They are both white folks. One just happens to be retarded.
Kind of corny, but I wouldn't read anything sinister into it. Of course I'm not a rightwing nutcase.
How bout we all uns help him out the door? Right quick!
Yeah, that was pretty cringe-worthy. It's saying a lot that "I pledge allegiance to the funk to the united funk of funkadelica" was the second dumbest thing I heard in the video.

It's really not fair to blame that psa on Obama. It's not his fault that celebrities are functionally retarded. I think that celebrities should pledge to shut up about their favorite causes so they don't damage the credibility of those causes by saying something irredeemably stupid.

The main thing to keep in mind is that while "president" is the highest office of public service one can attain, it's still the office of a public servant. A citizen has no responsibility to serve the president, it's the other way around.

Considering how much importance has been placed on the office historically, it's not that surprising that people are getting it confused. We hoist them up in our history books, carve their faces into mountains and erect monuments to them in our nation's capitol. Yet people are only just now getting pissed about the undue reverence.

Hmm, I wonder why that could be? What is so different about this particular president?


WHAT... COULD... IT... BE?

Oh well, I guess there's no way we could ever possibly know the answer. No use dwelling on it.
