It is sad Niki, very sad, that people are so ignorant about this country and what it stands for. First of all, everyone, and I do mean everyone here in this country are immigrants. How so?, you may ask.
Leif Erickson, Viking. The Pilgrims that came over on the Mayflower and landed on Plymouth Rock, English (hence the term New England), New York had Dutch settlers (Brooklyn is from a Dutch word meaning broken land), well you get where I'm going with this. The only true Americans, are the Natives who were here long before Europe discovered the land known as America.
Why even the name America is of foreign descent. Funny thing, a german writer gave the land the name derived from an Italian merchant, Amerigo Vespucci. How's that for genuine Americana. The Statute of Liberty is French. Where would we go to eat? Restaurant is French as well (which loosely translated means "provide food for"). 26 states have names that are
Native American in nature.
Kansas, in the heart of the country (and made popular in film culture by Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale in the Wizard of Oz; also by Joe Pantoliano as Cypher in 1999's The Matrix), is a Sioux Indian word that means "south wind people" - so named after the Native American Tribe known as Kansa. Smack dab in the middle of the country. So ignorant folk will hoot and holler about being American and haven't a clue as to what their talking about. We may well have been named Columbia (after Christopher Columbus) or Vikingland, or New Spain.
The Coke commercial strikes a deep-rooted cord within the soul of the country that few would ever imagine, much less explore. This, as Coke so eloquently depicted, is a country of Immigrants. But people will believe whatever Rush and company will tell them to think, and it really is a shame because they're going to miss out on so much. The language of this country is Native American, English, Spanish, Dutch, French, Creole......etc.
Coke's inventive and creative commercial should be seen as a celebration of who we are as a nation. So pop open a bottle and have a piece of cake, in the grand scheme of things we are but a pimple on the butt of the world.
Frankie says RELAX!!!

And what's sadly amusing is that they want everyone else to learn English, when so many of THEM can't spell or write or speak it properly, and a goodly number of them even called it the "National Anthem"! Ignorant schmucks displaying their ignorant schmuckiness, and by gawd, damned proud of it!
If you travel the world, people speak many different languages in every country on earth, but not only do too many Americans want everyone speaking English only in America, they'd be DAMNED if they'd learn some "foreign language", even to travel to other countries. Very sad, what we've come to.

By the way, one of the requirements of becoming a naturalized United States citizen is knowing that "The Star Spangled Banner" is the national anthem.
A good number of teabaggers are not qualified to be citizens, it would seem.

Newsweek editor Evan Thomas, who said Obama was " sort of God ", ( not LIKE a god ) , while on TV isn't exactly apples to apples with Joe and Jane Nobody , posting comments on the internet. I'd say he has a bit broader perspective, and therefore HIS comments come from a different place.

Hey, Mark, I'm with you. I will freely admit to having BEEN a football fan when I was younger...for many years a Raiders fan, until they deserted us...then Niners. I used to love the almost ballet-like agility, and how the Raiders could be down by 12 with five minutes to go or something and still manage to pull off a miracle. Of course, with the Niners it could just as easily be the OPPOSITE, but yeah, I even remember pulling over on a camp trip so Jim and I could listen to the end of the S'Bowl before we got out of radio range.
But now, no, for me it makes no more sense to watch than being put to sleep trying to watch a baseball "game", in part because it's gotten almost as slow in its way, but mostly because we now know how much they're damaging their own brains, running into each other like mountain goats.
But at the same time, I'm capable of appreciating the craftsmanship of some of the commercials, and good commercials in general. I don't see many any more, given On Demand, Netflix and Amazon on Roku, but I've admired quite a few well-done commercials over the years.
Sorry I forgot to put up the ad itself, Brenda (duh!), I wandered around a bunch of articles and cutting and pasting all the screen shots I found, etc., forgot not everyone is inundated with our "news" (I use the term loosely...) ;o) As for Canada, they already don't like your "socialized" horrors (except when you give us jerks like Cruz), just be grateful.
Lastly, I believe we have a few of these today: "Maybe we need some sort of designation. The first person to acknowledge any of that shit is the "sucker of the day" or something"...and we were doing so well...
ETA: EC, I LOVE it! "By the way, one of the requirements of becoming a naturalized United States citizen is knowing that "The Star Spangled Banner" is the national anthem. A good number of teabaggers are not qualified to be citizens, it would seem."

In fairness, some of them clearly knew the name "The Star Spangled Banner" and knew that's the name of the national anthem, but had the song itself confused with America The Beautiful.

So you agree that he's got a broader perspective than the average tea party supporter. Good to know.
