"You Don't Start it. You Unleash It." - Cadillac ad

While the world is struggling with strife, life has been going on...
Last night DD had cheerleader tryouts for next year, her senior year, and she DID make it. Thank God. She loves to cheer and be a leader and tries to be a light in this very dark world. The cheer sponsor that was new this year doesn't seem to like cheerleaders, so she changed everything, and incorporated lots of new rules to try to knock some of them out. So there were some surprises on who was chosen for the squad and who wasn't, but DD and all of the ones she has cheered with all of high school (and junior high) are good and also made it. Whew... Glad THAT's over...
I am FINALLY over my sickness, which is probably the longest I've ever been sick in my life, and I was starting to fear it was something worse - like I read I had the same symptoms as Legionnaires Disease, so was getting worried. 
Today Rush Limbaugh mentioned the new Cadillac ad so I wanted to weigh in. I had actually seen the commercial he was talking about several times, and it always caught my eye, and kept my interest (as opposed to other commercials that bore me, and I go do other things during that time.) Honestly, it never hit me that anything in it was controversial AT ALL.  I had enjoyed watching the commercial, and agreed with everything the actor/spokesman had said in it. Americans ARE different. We DO work hard. We love the American Dream and the fact that we have the opportunity to get ahead and become successful. We enjoy our freedom and along with it, capitalism, and do not prefer socialism or communism where freedom is gone, and we are told what job we will do, and all wealth will be distributed, and there will be no incentive to work hard.
It must have hit a nerve, however, with liberals who are lazy and have entitlement issues. They want someone else to make the money while they get to enjoy it. It reminds me when I used to work at the San Antonio Light newspaper and one of my co-workers (who happened to be African-American) was lamenting that she worked all day, while her sister, on the other hand, scammed all of the freebie systems out there, and got to live on the same amount of money AND stay home with her kids. It was Christmas time and she was angry her sister had signed up to be one of the needy families that we would all buy presents and Christmas dinner for and take it to them. She said her sister did that every year, and would hide the good stuff when gifts arrived. It sure took the Christmas spirit from us that year, but I digress.
I guess my bottom line is that I say 'kudos' to Cadillac for their "in-your-face' American spirit ad -
Long May They Live....
