This weekend I saw a commercial for Sam Adams beer that upset me. The commercial is called "Independence". It featers a guy ostensibly quoting the Declaration of Independence, except he deliberately omits a key phrase (just like Obama). Have you seen this commercial? Did you catch what was deliberately omitted?
Mis-quoting the Declaration of Independence here is what the paid Sam Adams actor says: "...they are endowed with certain unalienable Rights..."
Here is what the Declaration of Independence actually says:
"...they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
Watch the YouTube video.
Now the Declaration of Indepence must be deliberately misquoted so as not to offend? Just who would be offended?
Have we come to this in America, that acknowledging our Creator as written in our founding document causes offense?
I am ashamed of this country. I am ashamed that there seems to be a need to pander to the heathen and the ungodly in the public square and in complete disregard for how this country was established.
Why is the Sam Adams beer company deliberately omitting this?

Looks like I had my last Samuel Adams product yesterday.
No no no! You can’t take away my Sammy. It’s the only commercial American beer I can palate.
Saw the commercial but didn’t catch the error .
I’m pretty sure the actual Sam Adams would beat these people with a stick and spit on these quivering, cowering wretches as they lay bleeding at his feet
from what I understand, he wasn’t an easy going, go-along to get-along kinda guy.
and I’m pretty sure he was a G-d fearing man
Their tastes like Moose P*ss, but this is all the more reason never to drink it.
I would like nothing more than to see their sales drop like an anvil thrown out the window.
I never liked Sam Adams beer anyway.
Confirmed Heineken drinker until Freddie turns atheist.
It is a beer commercial, that’s it.
If you don’t like it don’t buy the beer.
No no no! You can’t take away my Sammy. It’s the only commercial American beer I can palate.

You are not looking hard enough. Or your beer distributor is a hack.
There are dozens of just as good (if not better), similarly priced, beers out there.

Headquartered in Boston, MA. Bastion of liberalism.
“he (Samuel Adams) wasn’t an easy going, go-along to get-along kinda guy”
He wasn’t; he’s my hero.
The anti-religionists are insane. Who do they believe bestowed those rights upon us, the government?
Endowed by their Creator - “Nature’s God”
These people are such egoists they can not fathom anything greater than themselves. Pathetic really. Laughable.

IIRC, he also omitted the right to life.
The best promotion Sam Adams ever did for Independence Day was to make the price $17.76 for a case of beer. They should stick to stuff like that.
