Faye, my husband and I are nauseated by the prospects of what this country will be like four years AFTER the election, no matter which of them wins! New Zealand has never looked so good! Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll qualify under their strict immigration laws.

Many people say that Mexico is conducting an undeclared war on us. From what I see, they’ve declared it; we’re just not acknowledging it. I think the most offensive of them all is Juan Hernandez. How this dud can get on national tv and come out with the statements he does and the American public still swallow it totally escapes me. He is, by the way, McCain’s hispanic advisor. There’s lots of him on You Tube. And I’m a Republican. I am also nauseated with my prospects for voting in November. If you get a chance, go over to You Tube and watch some of the videos on him. That grin and the words will gag a maggot. He actually thinks we’re stupid enough to fall for his rhetoric. He stumbles all over everywhere and expects us not to notice. His agenda is so blatant.

I’m not catching onto your post…..

I noticed down in the comments that someone is pooh-poohing this idea and said something like, “It’s advertising, for Pete’s sake!”

The Reconquista is talked about openly in Mexican publications. I’ve seen a lot of articles. I only saved one about the Amero, but can probably go back and find them if anyone is interested.

Here’s you an eye-opener for any critics of your exposing this. And this isn’t “advertising, for Pete’s sake.” It’s EDUCATION, for Pete’s sake! This is curriculum at University of New Mexico done originally by a radical professor, but now being openly done under new “Institutes of Diversity” financed by our tax dollars. I’ve seen references that it’s also being taught at the University of Michigan, but I haven’t had time to check that out. We also had it being taught here in Odessa at the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, but I’ve heard the professor at UTPB has since left. These “Institutes of Diversity” are a new funding mechanism for colleges and universities so I suspect there are many more.

Keep up the good work!

I did see her lose her cool one time when they ran out of fire sauce at the Taco Bell. She had a meltdown that was hotter than her chalupa. Scary!

2. Your analogy doesn’t work in terms of the Nazis and the occupations of France and Poland. In order to find an analogous historical situation you need a country that lost a great measure of its long-term historical territory to another country, permanently.

This is the response from Absolut:

The In An Absolut World advertising campaign invites consumers to visualize a world THAT APPEALS TO THEM — one they feel may be more idealized or one that may be a bit “fantastic.”

We already knew that!

Yea, I guess if they chose a map of the Nazi occupation of Europe it would be okay HUH?

I want to give those 2 fine Virginia gentlemen, Lewis and Clark, some credit for our current map. Were it not for the vision of Thomas Jefferson and the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, things might look quite differently than they do today.

The point of course is they would not do such an add. There has been plenty of border moving in Europe over the years going back a few hundred or more to be exact, and it still causes issues to this day and people are sensitive to the issue, and so it is a good analogy. I mentioned the Nazis because that was who was in power in WW2 Germany.

Mexico, lost the land because it lost the war. It is not their land anymore, and therefore, they have no claim to it in real life or a silly ad.

I noticed though, like a good lib, you did change the subject. Do you think the company would run such an ad?

the question is personal to Leila. It’s for her to answer. It has nothing to do with Absolut’s presence in Portugal. Not all portuguese are from Portugal either.
