A new Cadillac ad has become a bone of contention between conservatives and liberals, inspiring fans and irritating critics.
Purportedly meant to sell Cadillac’s new electric vehicle, the ELR, the commercial is an in-your-face statement on what capitalism has brought America — while thumbing its nose at European socialism.
Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig told Neil Caluto [sic] Friday on “Your World” that the commercial “celebrates America’s essential sense of life.”
I agree. Its celebration of American ingenuity and work ethic is powerful. More politically correct types find it insulting and grating — like fingernails on a blackboard. And that’s all the more reason to like it.
