the Pledge...

So I'm watching Tinkerbell with the little poop machine , and in the commercial break, I see this 'Pledge for the Planet'.




The specific purpose of the program is not made totally clear from the commercial, but it's obviously some kind of pro-environmental movement. When you look at the website, they talk about kids putting pressure on their parents to do things like conserve water and electricity, use cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic, etc. While all that may not seem too scary, I nearly fell off the couch when I saw the latest commercial. The actors say "I pledge allegiance to this planet on which I stand."




Then, there is this lil' gem:






The Right-Wing Scream Machine is back.

Who are they? So-called "Birthers" who think President Obama's birth certificate is a fake. "Teabaggers" who don't want to pay taxes for schools, police, or roads. And they're backed up by insurance industry and right-wing funded front groups who are encouraging Republicans to disrupt healthcare townhalls anyway they can throughout August.

Their goal isn't to debate or get their voices heard. Their goal is to stop any kind of civil dialogue.

That's not how we enact thoughtful reform. It's important that we aren't drawn into their divisive tactics and discredit our broad-based bipartisan support for real reform. And it's up to us to make sure they don't drown out America's support for the choice of a public healthcare option.

Will you join me in taking the high road and sign the Public Option Action Pledge?


Hmmm...These are Pledge's the left signs off on?

VERY disturbing.
