I Pledge to ???
There are lots of good messages in this video. But the ending is really scary... http://www.sltrib.com/news/... I pledge to be a servant? Which last US president asked us to be his servant? I'll buy the sevitude to our God and our country, but this is a little freaky. 7 comments from 4 users

... very scary indeed. do i hear echos of Hitler..... The same approach was used in films. The Nazis controlled film production. Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues : the Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially children, Obama having control of the internet..... To ensure that everybody thought in the correct manner, Goebbels set up the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1933. This organisation dealt with literature, art, music, radio, film, newspapers etc. To produce anything that was in these groups, you had to be a member of the Reich Chamber. The Nazi Party decided if you had the right credentials to be a member. Any person who was not admitted was not allowed to have any work published or performed. Disobedience brought with it severe punishments. As a result of this policy, Nazi Germany introduced a system of censorship. You could only read, see and hear what the Nazis wanted you to read, see and hear. In this way, if you believed what you were told, the Nazi leaders logically assumed that opposition to their rule would be very small and practiced only by those on the very extreme who would be easy to catch. "The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it." Goebbels

JFK advocated public service, as I recall. His administration started the Peace Corp. Course, I don't exactly know what you mean by "servant." If you see images of Nazi Germany in current news, then maybe you should spend some time in a library. This is the US in the21st century; not nazi germany; not the Roman empire; not soviet russia; not China; or a number of other comparisons that don't exist. Take a deep breath and get a grip. posted by

I can't keep it straight. Is the President a Nazi, a Communist, a Socialist? Please help me so I can hate him too, I can't stand being on the outside looking in. posted by

Boy, I bet the fact that Hitler was a communist (partly) will make all those German communists that the Nazis slaughtered feel better! What do you teach, learn, history? posted by

What he did was to put govt. and industry and military in bed together for re-establishment of Germany as a European power. Come to think of it, that is what old Ike warned us about in his farewell speech about the "military/industrial complex". Look what it got us. posted by
