What is Your Pledge?

This video has gone viral again. For the most part, these members of “the cultural elite” aka, “the beautiful people,” have some great pledges like being respectful and picking up after oneself and not being wasteful. But I seriously have to ask if these same people would have made this video if John McCain had been elected? And where were they when George W. Bush was President. You see, they’re just not consistent.

So I have to ask what is your pledge?

Mine is a pledge to fight the current assault on our Constitution and American values which are articulated in our Declaration of Independence as the unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

What’s your pledge?

Congressman Jeff Flake, Survivorman

This is awesome.

My congressman, Jeff Flake, was recently interviewed by Chandler Councilman, Jeff Weninger on the Chandler’s cable show Chandler in Focus. The interview was the regular superfluous listing of accomplishments and updates but then it gets very interesting.

During the last three minutes of the interview, Congressman Flake reveals that he recently spent seven days on a 50-acre deserted island in the south central Pacific. During his island getaway, he took a pole spear, a water desalinization pump, and some salt and pepper and his snorkling gear. For seven days he remained completely alone on an island in the middle of the Pacific. He ate lots of fish and even swam with the sharks.

Flake made no mention of bringing a volleyball along on his getaway.
