Actually that's not quite right. Just in case one of the posters ever appears on Jeopardy here is the list.
List of Presidents of the United States by home state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So I finally got a chance to actually take a look at the video. I honestly don't understand why so many people are offended or upset. It's actually a huge compliment to the United States. The way I understand the add, it's conveying the message that the country is still a beacon that attracts immigrants from all over the world. What the heck is the wrong with that??
No he was the first president born a citizen in the United States. Previous presidents were all naturalized citizens
Oh, thanks for reminding me that we have a 1st amendment. I totally forgot about that! You are so god damn helpful, you are truly a treasure to this forum.
Maybe you can cruise around the internet and find people who want to imprison the Coca Cola CEO for the ad, then inform them about the 1st amendment.
Imagine how powerful the message would have been, if all the people attempted to sing "America the Beautiful" in English, dispite the impact their natual accent had on the words...
I think that, in some, just the word 'immigrant' evokes fear and loathing.
So I suppose that everyone in the untied States at the time of the signing became a 'naturalized' American citizen, sans ceremony or documents, and prior to that were a people without a country.
In any case, it's an interesting trivia question.
I just sat through it. Frankly, it's a boring tune, as most nationalist dirges are. Certainly nothing to get your Depends in a wad over.
Lot of butt hurt man...
Could have had the same impact, the message of lots of different kind of people coming together as one.
Same impact? I'm thinking, profound...
Matter of perspective.
I suppose. One champions the separation, the other would have celebrated, well, you get the idea.
Oh well, separation is the flavor of the era.
You can't understand the concept that someone may have the same values as you but speak a different language as their primary tongue?

is that why liberals portrayed Zimmy versus Trayvon as black and white when Zim was not white at all but hispanic. I don't think liberals and progressives can make up their minds sometimes.
I don't think you were paying attention. I don't know anyone who portrayed Zimmerman as white, nor do I view that as a "liberal" v. "conservative" issue.
"A socialist, a Muslim, and an illegal immigrant walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What can I get for you Mr.President"?

you must have failed to watch the media outlets during that time.
You're bad! :lol:
I watched plenty. Zimmerman was always portrayed as a light skinned hispanic in my circles. Then again...I wasn't watching FauxNews...which was probably, true to form, trying to make it a black v. white, liberal v. conservative political issue.

Worth pointing out that all of the founding fathers were British citizens, many had worn the uniform and were subjects of the crown. Van Buren was the first president born a citizen of the United States.
