U.S.A! U.S.A!

15 June 2010

Filmed to coincide with the U.S.A.-England game, this commercial at first confused me, til I realized what it was all about.  The United States, like its cars… and Team U.S.A. wouldn’t exist without their immigrants.

Here’s to the sons of immigrants — Carlos Bocanegra, Jonathan Bornstein,Jose Francisco Torres; Ricardo Clark and Stuart Holden — and the immigrants —  Haitian Jozy Altidore; Mexican Hercules Gomez; ; Oguchi Onyewu and Maurice Edu (Nigerians), Robbie Findley(Trinidadian), Edson Buddle(Jamaican) and  Benny Feilhaber(Brazilian) who fended off the onslaught of those those tea-partying red-coats once again!

    Yeah!!!
    USA-styled freedom!!! Yahh-hoooo!
    (For your gringo readership.)
    Forget the Bill of Rights–they are essentially gone anyway. Forget your votes–they aren’t counted as cast. Forget your honor–it was a figment of your fascist imagination–seen as honorable only to you.
    Don’t believe me?
    Leave the country for a bit–as a tourist instead of armed killer–and find out for yourself.
    As with Team USA, we’re a drain on the needed talent, resources and skills of others–that we then claim as our own.
    Freedom–just another word for nothing left to lose….and flag-waving Patriotism–just another way to sell a shitty car.
    Pardon me while I puke.

    Hey, you forgot Dempsey… he is from my own little Nacogdoches, TX. Is he an immigrant Tejano?
