Multilingual "America the Beautiful"?
Let me get this straight - you want to ban a private company from putting out an ad, and you’re calling THEM anti-American? Hahahahahahaha
Promoting The Tower of Babel-—divide and conquer.
The Leftists just want to destroy everything which unites us—by this perpetuation of “Multi” rather than “One Under God”. They are erasing the concept of God-—and have to erase Western Civilization, particularly ENGLISH (John Locke and Adam Smith).
That radical concept of the USA—the “shining city on the hill” is GOING DOWN if we erase our Traditions/God and Language. (That is the Left’s design).
It just is more of deconstructing America so it is meaningless to the younger generation-—so a new narrative of Marxism can be progressed and God and the Founders and the Constitution can be erased.
I think you might be a bit sarcasm impaired FRiend :)
A wide variety of cultures and peoples appreciating America?
Wonderful.
Eh, I figured as much, but have seen plenty of similar (non-sarcastic) things floating around since the ad aired....
Ya. And Coke? What Coke? :)
I had no problem with it. The Libs around me can’t wait for Fox And Friends to complain about it so Jon Stewart can do a segment on it. I don’t see why FF would complain.
I am glad you are happy with her education so far. I am a little concerned that she will be old enough to vote in three years...other than that I have no issue.
I concur with your thoughts but Coke is produced and sold
around the world and the Super Bowl is seen around the
world. It may be more likely that the NFL owners vote to
hold a Super Bowl in a foreign land than advertisers like
Coke sticking with English only in their ads.
Nauseating
Your pattern is only used by 3rd world immigrants. Immigrants from Europe and East Asia work hard to speak English and assimilate within the first generation. I'm 1st generation born in this country (German WWII refugees). My grandparents did everything they could to learn English and become US citizens ASAP. My mother's English is so perfectly pronounced she sounds Canadian. And my parents demanded perfect grades from their children.
That is NOT happening with the 3rd world immigrants America is swamped with today. Instead America lowers its standards to their levels - including the debasement of "America the Beautiful." I would rather have heard those ethnic groups sing the song in English with whatever latent accent they possess!
Shame on Coca-Cola!!!
They can easily stick with English here in the good ole USA and dub whatever they want to in other locales. I just don’t agree with their marketing strategy.
We must Americanize in every way, in speech, in political ideas and principles, and in their way of looking at relations between church and state. We welcome the German and the Irishman who becomes an American. We have no use for the German or Irishman who remains such..... He must revere only our flag, not only must it come first, but no other flag should even come second.” -Theodore Roosevelt
At least the welfare recipients are happy for all the white people that the government taxes for their benefit.
“But, English or not, keep in mind that they were singing an American, patriotic song.”
Then why didn’t the sing it in heavily accented but gamely attempted English?
... and then you proceed to accuse me of proclaiming "THEM" anti-American, when I did no such thing.
Can you even read? Making up crap is hardly getting it straight, laughing boy.
Are you just a teeny bit curious about the anti-ILLEGAL immigrant feelings you are encountering? Do not confuse legal immigration with illegal immigration, that is what liberals want everyone to do. I know of no one that is against LEGAL immigration.
Many here, including me, do expect immigrants to assimilate and become Americans. I do not want to give up my culture so others will feel more welcome. As far as I am concerned they are welcome to become Americans, not bring their country with them and expect me to give up my culture.
I do not want anyone to lose their culture, but I am tired of standing by while my culture, family traditions, way of life is becoming politically incorrect and people are coming here from other countries with no desire or intention of becoming Americans and expecting us to change our ways for them.
As to the “Mexican gardeners are actually out there just cutting people’s lawns” Really? That sounds pretty racist, Hispanics are doing any and every job you can dream of, not just mowing grass. Fact is Hispanics, Mexicans, etc. are not all perfect working people either...many are criminals, lazy bums on welfare, the whole scope just as people of any race and culture.
Racist is thinking all Hispanic, Mexicans are just hard working people and anyone that opposes illegal immigration is racist. Many are hard working but not all. Racist is thinking “white” people won’t do that work when white people do that kind of work every day.
Those of us that live on the border personally deal with the issues of an unsecured border every single day. We deal with failed immigration policy and the results of our government refusing to enforce immigration laws. Living on the border I daily deal with issues that I should not have to deal with. I am against illegal immigration by anyone from anywhere but due to where I live am more familiar with those crossing our border with Mexico. They are not all Mexicans that cross here either...from many countries, even countries that are terrorist friendly. That concerns me greatly.
Just said something to my grandkid abt it.
hey coke why dont you read the koran in english.
I found it “in your face” disrespectful
Yep
I saw it differently...We are a proud nation of immigrants..and we do just fine becomming American without Obama, the Libs or amnesty. I saw it as pro American, a slap in the face of Obama and his denigration of our great country.
