So, don't be simple minded or Neanderthal in your thinking, cause you sound no different than those Muslim Extremists spewing pure hate towards the US.

Actually, I'm not the one who's being simpleminded. The ad is simpleminded. Most of us are intelligent enough to know that every citizen who loves this country, regardless of national origin, is an American. However, we don't need some jerks from the Ad Council using our tax dollars to show a group of people with accents, national costumes and funny things on their heads stating that they're Americans. For the most part, and far more than any other nation, we've always welcomed foreigners to become Americans, and assumed that they are unless proven otherwise. What I object to is the notion of America as a tapestry when we should be promoting a national culture and the idea that we are a melting pot.

Honestly, I find the timing of the ad very suspect. We are at war against radical Islam, and the logical thing to do is to round up and deport all Muslim non-citizens, yet all I hear from the government is that we should show respect to other cultures. Bullsh*t -- some cultures don't deserve respect, and if you come here from another country, you had better show respect to the American culture. Or get lost. Or die.
