The "Born Again American" campaign, despite a really nice song...and most of the words to it...is a ruse and a false flag operation.
I was emailed their site by a conservative friend who had received it from someone else. I watched the video of the song. A really nice tune, and most of the lyrics...but I was taken back by one phrase in the chorus.
Instead of saying "My Country tis of Thee," they used the term, "My Country tios of Me." This bothered me and caused me to go through the site in more detail before singing the "Plkedge".
I am glad I did.
One of the links on the site, under the "Take the Next Step" section which I wnt to out of order (so note, they do not ask you to do that until after you would have signed their pledge and donated money), is to a place to "Learn more about your Freedoms."
This links takes you to one of the major sponsors and partners of the effort, an organization called, "People for the American Way,".
People of the American Way is a leftist site that is upset over Prop 8 in California, which I supported, is excited about Obama's nomination of Sotomayor, which I oppose, and it dedicated to "fighting and exposing" the right...people with traditional values like me.
So, take note and warning and educate your friends who may be taken in by this effort. It is attempting to gather donations and active support from the very people who would be opposed to its underlying initiatives.
As a result, I have let my friend and other know that I cannot and will not sign on to a delcaration since I view it as a false flag operation funded by people who hold views and promote initiatives that I am diamterically opposed to, who are gathering money from people who (many of them at least) would not be supportinve of their initiatives but are being sucked in by a really neat media campaign, and which effort represent not a return to traditional American vlaues, but a departure from them.
I know about Lear, of course. Knew nothing of Carradine’s leanings. Never heard of the other two. When I saw the video, I didn’t check out the website. I just snapped it off after hearing all the lyrics.
I suspect the deceit will only get worse in the near future. We have entered some kind of bizarro parallel universe.
It is defintely a misleading group and not what they make themselves out to be.
gathering money and all of your personal information on you....

But, II Chron 7:14 still holds and if we will stand and act, have faith, and seek God, we will yet pervcerviere, just as our forefathers did.
...and it may take the same course.
I’m with Patrick Henry on this part: ... if so, let it be in my time, that my children and grandchildren may live in peace.
Big ole YEP NoGrayZone!!!!!
Thanks for finding this, Jeff...
Pau's quote comes to mind...We wrestle...against principalities and powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I WOULD go there...but I don’t want to give that site a hit, but yes, you’re right.
HOWEVER, anyone walking with God SHOULD be able to just WHAM, pick that thing apart in a second.

It also exposes this ruse.
Or rather, Thomas Paine.

Yep. I almost got sucked in a few weeks ago. Posted a thread and a bunch of FReepers were already aware that it was a front.
The promise of Americas surrendering to greed The rule is just look out for number one But brace yourself cause some of us have sown a different seed A harvest of the spirit has begun
Yep, the harvest of another spirit but not the Holy Spirit.
Bump.
Ping.
If it is to come, let it begin here, now, so that we may put it down so that our posterity may live in liberty and in peace.
