Serve The Servants or Where's Ayn Rand When You Need Her?

This video's been getting a lot of attention.

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge


In it, a bunch of celebrities promise, now that Obama is in office, to make the world a better place.

Fine. But the line that really got my attention is at the end, when Demi Moore pledges "to be a servant to our President."

It's one thing to support a politician, but, as a private citizen, serve one? I think that's got it backwards.

Here's a good comment at one of the links.

1. Because Bush was divisive, dissent was patriotic

2. Because Obama is a uniter, dissent is unpatrotic

3. Questioning those who was questioned Bush was unpatriotic

4. Questioning those who question Obama is patriotic

Read a site from the other side and you will find the same things- people tend to do this with their preferred heroes and leaders

Where is this site where Republicans (not employed by the government) promise to serve Bush? Not support, serve.
