high school graduates... is there anything they don't know??? feh

[vetvetdoug]

I can’t believe that this daughter of an Air Force Captain that used to go to Del Rio High School is such a liberal lefty. The rest of us, except for a couple, are all rabid Republicans.

“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.”

Hey, Jessica, the Pledge of Allegiance does not include "affordable education" nor "health care" nor "equality" (in the context that you are discussing it here). Nor is it a pledge to any one particular candidate for public office, but rather a pledge to support the Republic and its ideals.

Just another typical example of a Hollywood left nutcase!

Can we get another “HEIL” from you, you twit?

Confiscate all of her assets and redistribute them, hand her a shovel and send her out to dig ditches to rebuild infrastructure.

After all, she didn’t build/earn her wealth, she stole it from the people (fans).

Jessica Alba has turned her back on the church after religious leaders condemned her for being too sexy.

The ‘Sin City’ actress found solace in the Christian church after feeling rejected by the Latin community.

However, after four years of being a born-again Christian she quit the faith, because she was accused of deliberately trying to attract men.

She told Elle magazine: “Older men would hit on me and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn’t.

“It just made me feel, like, if I was in anyway desirable to the opposite sex, that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and of being a woman.”

The 25-year-old actress also says she could not accept the church’s attitude towards premarital sex and homosexuality.

Speaking about the Bible, she added: “I thought it was a nice guide, but it certainly wasn’t how I was going to live my life.”

Jessica would have fit right into Hitler’s Germany as the Reich propaganda minister. Probably done a much better job then Joseph Goebbels... better legs.

It really does not affect my opinion of her...

Another brainless Hollywood ho.

...her hand on her heart pledging to vote for Obama.

Heil ZerO!

[tumblindice]

Eve: Why look, it's little Jessica! Alba: Mein Fuehrer! I cannot live in a world without national socialism! Hitler: Calm yourself. my dear. Sit down in my comfy chair.

[Secret Agent Man]

I pledge to vote Obama’s ass out of office, Jess.

Each of those women are smoking hot, too bad they’re stupid and apparently don’t give a damn about our country.

[Pining_4_TX]

Sometimes it’s good to be an old fogey. I don’t even know who this woman is. I thought celebrity worship went out with the sixties. These people are irrelevant.

Though posted repeatedly...seems apropos for review:

Red Skelton's Pledge

VIDEO: Red Skelton Pledge Of Allegiance, 14 January 1969

I: Me, an individual, a committee of one.

PLEDGE: Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity.

ALLEGIANCE: My love and my devotion.

TO THE FLAG: Our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there's respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.

UNITED: That means that we have all come together.

STATES: Individual communities that have united into 48 great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose; all divided with imaginary boundaries yet united to a common purpose, and that's love for country.

AND TO THE REPUBLIC: A state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people, and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION: One nation, meaning "so blessed by God."

INDIVISIBLE: Incapable of being divided.

WITH LIBERTY: Which is freedom, the right of power to live one's own life without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.

AND JUSTICE: The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.

FOR ALL: For all, which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.

And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: "under God." Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools too?
