THAT's AMERICA

The America most on here describe is one that eliminates all feeling of offensiveness. Someone speaks another language and it offends you. Someone has a differing opinion or religious belief and it offends you. Sound familiar? Sounds pretty liberal to me.
Corrected it for you. You really need to get out more; read,think. What you write in your last paragraph is the LIBERAL MANTRA. Our language is English, not Spanish and we should require Assimilation or Deportation (read Muslims & Messicans). Basic literacy; fluent enough to read street signs, driving test, voting ballot. The majority who come here now, come for one thing; FREEBEES. They work the system paid for by people like you and laugh their a$$ off at your simpleton open arms ideas when in their minds they want to conquer and subjugate you to their rules.

I don't have a problem with LEGAL immigration. I have a big problem with rewarding illegal immigration by giving amnesty. Why should someone be rewarded for breaking the law? And I agree with the post about the "entitlement" state the the government is encouraging. We work hard to provide a better life for us and our family then they take 40+% and give it to those too lazy to work. It's gotta end sooner or later. If the wealthy (who the others hate) quit working where is the give away money going to come from?

Prolly so. Enough to make a grown man cry. George Washingtons, John Adams, and Thomas Jeffersons are a mite harder to raise than Bill Clintons.

Men, do right by y'alls sons and daughters. Dere be hard days ahead!

Coke ran the ad hoping to boost sales,making money is thier only agenda and thats fine... thats what a company is supposed to do. But they took a traditionaly patriotic song that has stirred national pride for decades and presented it in a way that was more global than Amercian. I see the backlash as a reasonable response to the singing of one of this countries most cherished songs in a most unconventional way. There are just some things you just shouldn't mess with and evidentally this song is one of those things. I think if they would have been singing "I'd like to buy the world a coke" it would have went over alot better. LOL

Here is something I found and really agree with!!

One important thought here: A person’s IQ or education level has absolutely nothing to do with their perception of reality. Higher education is higher brainwashing. Sometimes it seems that the more education, the bigger the fool.
People are obsessed with believing what they have always believed without question. An inquiring mind is required for anyone to question long-held views.
Here are some examples of conventional wisdom. This is what most people believe:
  • That government will not lie or allow an economic depression.
  • That history as taught in schools or history books is truth.
  • That pharmaceuticals sell good drugs that aid cures.
  • That vaccinations bring immunity.
  • That people can “catch” disease from someone else — germ theory.
  • That the cure for cancer is just around the corner.
  • When a child is sick, he needs antibiotics.
  • When a child has fever, he needs Tylenol.
  • Hospitals are safe and clean.
  • That drugs are not poison.
  • That doctors and hospitals do not cause deaths.
  • Guns are dangerous.
  • World War I “made the world safe for democracy.”
  • World War II was for democracy to prevail over tyranny.
  • The Korean War was to “contain communism.”
  • The Iraq war was to find and destroy “weapons of mass destruction.”
  • Paper money is wealth.
They have dumbed us down. They rape us daily and we never question their criminal intentions.
We seem to have no memory, no will to resist, no interest in our own fate. And worst of all, we have no interest in preserving Christian morality. The need to conceal evil is becoming less necessary as the American people themselves continue to become more perverted.
The political con game is all about the transformation of human beings to the animal farm. The message must be decoded on our terms — on the basis of our original politics, our original culture, our original beliefs and our original traditions. Unless and until the game is viewed this way, one does not have the tools to keep from being brainwashed. Until then, nothing will change.

Who would have thought a coke commercial would bring on the end of society as we know it.

The power of advertising.

Perhaps it was meant to be thought provoking?

There have been some very good arguments brought forth throughout this discussion..."Do we tolerate another language or, should they learn ours?" "Have we become so blinded by people being "offended" that we are now afraid to have one set of rules or creed that our nation live by?C"

In short, my thoughts are that, we are One nation(now divided by multi-culturism). We were designed in this nation to speak one language, whether it be behind the curve of the rest of the world...It's just the way we are. We have been completely polarized by left or right, black or white. We are playing into our gov'ts hand, as well as major corporations(who feeds who in that scenario?). Until we can be ONE nation again, we are divided, regardless of age, race, creed or, sexual orientation. Just think, all of this commercial only fueled the idea that we are no longer one nation because so many of us are indoctrinated now by the multi-cultural mentality.

Once upon a time, German immigrants fought alongside Italians for the USA, in their home country. They believed in the new world. There was a time when they spoke their native language only in the home. Now, some folks feel that the SAT should be written in Spanish and, ebonics so that ALL can pass. Now days, this nation is divided in so many ways that it is destined to fail...Is this the result of a commercial? Of course not! Did this commercial spark a debate for opening the eyes of our nation to our own demise? Perhaps. I mean, just think...Somehow or another, a known socialist and, suspected immigrant was elected and, then, re-elected!

as usual i am late to the party..

But southern is hitting it right on the head.

Although it's from a movie clip... this sum's up exactly why we are going downhill so fast..


We are allowing our goverment and corporate lobby groups to keep us all divided / hating each other because of our skins, religions, and politics.

I choose to be a libertarian for exactly this reason... I will not choose the lesser evil any damned more. I will not give my consent as a citizen by doing that any more. I recognize that this means that my vote will not help those wearing either red or blue shirts... but am past the point of giving a crap about it. Neither one has either my or this countries interests at heart anyway. They are just there to keep there corporate lobbyist master's happy.

We have been involved in the "war on terror" for longer than ww1,2,korea,and every war since combined. What have we gotten from it... half our personal freedoms stripped away and the terrorists are still going full steam.

We have the highest costs per capita as a percentage of GDP for healthcare of any civilized nation... yet have one of the least effective systems (measure of # of doctors and hospital beds per capita)

We jail a higher percentage of people than most of the rest of the world combined, yet our crime rates are among poorly policed third world country standards.

Our school system (other than to some arguable extent our university's and college's) are a joke, which is still knee deep in the failed prussian model of schooling.

We bicker back and forth about "obama" is the devil and will ruin this country. Or republicans only care about rich people and are going to squeeze the middle class and poor through the grinder.

We scream about Obamacare is going to bankrupt insurance companies and that's the goal of the government... (yet insurance company stocks have ALL skyrocketed since obamacare has went live...) No one says.... well looky here.... if its gonna bankrupt insurance companies then why are they making so much more money???? could it be because they are the ones who wrote the laws to create a system... where it cost significantly more to purchase significantly less insurance... and yet you were MANDATED TO DO IT???....

We chant meaningless slogan's like "they will take my guns when they pry them from my cold dead hands" yet don't mind one bit that the NSA can and does listen and record your every conversation.

We are up in arms over coca cola airing a commercial celebrating diversity, but we ignore the NSA & CIA giving tacit approval to KILL AMERICAN CITIZENS via drone strikes, without so much as a nod to due process (trial by a jury etc) or any of the other values that our founding father fought for.

I will say here... I don't care if your a dem or a pub... stop voting for the lesser of two evils. start voting like you have a pair. non of our founding fathers would have done any less. I will be damned if i will.



oh and where do i put my 2 cents at?
