I would like to thank all of you (especially Allan and Flu) for helping me to keep this thread going for such a long time.
I would also like to thank the talented, prolific and patriotic Californian, Clint
Eastwood, for reminding me how celebrity can inspire positive thoughts.
With any luck, the negative thoughts conjured up by Hyundai and the Jeff
Bridges voice-overs will fade into the past, more sooner than later.
Hopefully, this past week, filled with debate and headlines about Eastwood’s Super Bowl video will encourage more good folks to purchase an American-Born, American-Bred and American-Labeled automobile.
To quote Mr. Eastwood:
“Seems that we’ve lost our heart at times. The fog, the division, the discord and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead. But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right and acted as one. Because that’s what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can’t find a way, then we’ll make one.”
“All that matters now is what’s ahead. How do we come from behind? How do we come together? And how do we win? Detroit’s showing us it can be done. And what’s true about them is true about all of us. This country can’t be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again, and when we do the world’s going to hear the roar of our engines.”
All in all, it has been a pretty good week in the good ole U.S. of A.
Stay positive and…..Go get ’em Chrysler !
HIE-YUN-DIE does NOT rhyme with Sunday in blue-collar America.
