Sam Adams "Independence" Beer Commercial

Bull !!!!!!!!!!!
Also the communists have won.
This is why liberals support and accommodate Islamists, because they both hate our Christian culture. It’s why the Democratic Party refuses to take an intelligent stance on limiting Islamic immigration, why they support every kind of sexual perversion, and why they support illegal immigration. Kill the culture that stands between them and their Communism.
Alienating our unalienable rights is not bull.
Since Sam Adams sponsored the Amos and Opie public sex competition, in which a couple used St. Patrick’s Cathedral, I don’t care whether they can say the word “God” or not. I would rather they didn’t.
If by “terrorists” you include the former SDS radicals who have infiltrated media and government - yes.
so I don’t think this has anything to do with terrorism.
the main groups that go around to schools making sure there is no mention of God, is the aclu and adl.
Your decision to place the code of the beer industry ahead of the intent of the Declaration of Independence by removing "God" in your advertising quote has moved me.
As I am sure Sam Adams would say and do, "If you believe God is not worth mentioning, then your beer is not worth drinking." While you produce a tasty, quality product, the quality of your advertising policy is sorely lacking in both content and purpose. I shall not purchase nor drink your beer any more as long as you follow this course of action. I shall also urge all my fellow beer drinkers to do the same.
They took God out to appease the left, get real eveningstar.
This is no small thing as you suggest. These are deliberate acts attempting to strip us from our relationship with our Creator and our founding principles. There is a clear pattern that is being established. So I will have none of this, "It's no big deal." It is a big deal.
No, it's about EVERYTHING. In fact, it's important enough that the wording is accurately captured on FR's homepage.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
-- The Declaration of Independence, In Congress, July 4, 1776
Applying political correctness to a revered document that defines our liberties as endowed by Creator not only inaccurately portrays the true meaning of the document, but dismisses God's role in our nation's history...and for what, a shot at bigger market share and showing trendiness in mocking the foundation of God in our society?
Also, I find it odd that you start a new thread on the subject, referencing two other previously established threads on the same subject that you didn't bother to participate in. Why is that?
Well if it’s excised from the segment being read, someone did it for some reason. If another segment of the Declaration was read, then of course it wouldn’t be there. But it would be hard to win; if they did include it then another set would be screaming at them about using God for commercial purposes.

I disagree.
Americans "unalienable rights ... endowed by their creator" is a very big deal.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Samuel Admas would have thought it important as well.
First off, Jessie Waters is a goof.
More to the point though, this may well be the first time many people in the USA have actually heard those words from the Declaration of Independence. And leaving those three words out changes the entire context of the phrase.
The whole idea being that it’s our Creator who has granted those unalienable rights, as opposed to the government. If the government granted those rights, they can take them away.

In short it is the greatest absurdity to suppose it in the power of one or any number of men at the entering into society, to renounce their essential natural rights, or the means of preserving those rights when the great end of civil government from the very nature of its institution is for the support, protection and defence of those very rights: the principal of which as is before observed, are life liberty and property. If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave--

Cordially,
That’s not as bad as a commercial I saw some years ago—I don’t recall the product—but it featured a chorus singing the hymn “Kumbayah”—only instead of “Kumbayah, my Lord,” they sang, “Kumbayah, my friends.”
