Coca Cola’s contribution to a balkanized America

Many Americans, and I include myself, are becoming more and more fed-up with the blather about multiculturalism and the fact that we are a nation of immigrants. That we are a nation of immigrants is all the more reason why there must be something to bind us. The first something is language – the English language. The second, is a common culture – the American culture before the Left reshaped it into something detestable to most Americans. Without that glue, there can be no nation. What exists without the glue is a number of bickering groups vying for their own special interests. Coca Cola, in its misguided attempts to be politically correct, decided to join the multiculturalist bandwagon with its Super Bowl commercial featuring children singing “America the Beautiful” in other languages than the English language in which it was written.

That stunt, of course, appeals to leftists and to moderate types, such as Frank Luntz, the former focus-group coordinator, who often worked with Sean Hannity of Fox News. On a recent “Hannity” show, Luntz gushed over the beauty of the commercial, stating how it emphasized that we are a nation of immigrants. He seems, as do so many moderates, oblivious to the dangers of immigrants who choose not to integrate into the country of choice. This non-assimilation attitude is what makes for balkanization. Political moderates are incorrigible dreamers who will probably have to wake up one day without a country before they see the light. The Left, however, sees balkanization as one of its goals to destroy America as it was founded.
