Skip to comments.Fox & Friends: When Sam Adams Can't Mention God In 4th Of July Beer Ad, 'The Terrorists Have Won'
Posted on 07/06/2013 2:11:28 PM PDT by EveningStar
The morning after Independence Day, Fox & Friends' fill-in hosts examined a 4th of July beer had that apparently has drawn the ire of some God-loving American conservatives. The commercial, played in its entirely on Fox, shows a bartender quoting the Declaration of Independence while pouring a Sam Adams. The problem? He neglects to mention that Americans' "unalienable rights" were "endowed by their creator."
As host Clayton Morris explained, Sam Adams was simply obeying the the Beer Institute's guidelines on not using religion in commercials ...
Jesse Watters wasn't quite so understanding. "When political correctness takes over the beer advertising industry, the terrorists have won," he declared ...

Sam Adams "Independence" Beer Commercial
Samuel Adams ad (Vanity)
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.
I'm amazed that some people are making an issue of this. This is minor.
I'd mention it anyway. Its my ad and my money, they don't want my ad I take it someplace else and "screw" them. Time to hit those liber bastards in the pocket book., that is all they understand.
I respectfully disagree.
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.
And I respect your opinion. I always have. :)
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.
As host Clayton Morris explained,....SHAME on the Lone Ranger....Wait...He's already dead. That damned silver heeled Indian.
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'd say it would have been better to skip it altogether than to expurgate a reference to God from it. Still, it's served to get people talking... people still care about God at some level. Now if they will give God credit for full-on, mighty gospel power, then we might start going somewhere good as a nation again.
"Forward"... It's just another deliberate incremental slip towards a Godless society, pure and simple, and not an innocent omission. It IS a big deal. Yes, on some level it has created discussion, but discussion with no action to roll back this insidious form of culture creep is meaningless in the end.
Really, you are concerned about anyone who would "be screaming" about quoting the Declaration of Independence? Do people really quiver uncontrollably at the thought of someone - anyone - being offended?
Should we now avoid teaching our children about the Declaration of Independence? Should we no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance? Where do you propose it stop? And what if these omissions offend me? Is it okay to offend only certain people without concern? Is that now legitimate?
The truth is that our right originate from our Creator. They are not man-made. They are not devised by a government. They are derived from our Creator, just as the DOI points out. If that offends some, then perhaps they need offending to wake them back to reality.
Well said.
Thank you.
as someone pointed out earlier this company sponsors public sex competitions while censoring Gos from founding documents. They can rot in hell. None of the drinkers I know drink the swill anyway. If the Declaration offends these perverts they shouldnt be quoting from it in the fiirst place.
does Hebrew National sponsor public sex competitions?
When I found the Mediaite article, I did a search on "Adams" to see if it had already been posted. It hadn't, but I did find the two vanity threads. Along with posting this article, I linked those threads in case anyone who hadn't seen them, might want to view them and comment on them.
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.
Different times? Different industry policies?
Did you happen to catch the direct bitch-slap at Obama at the end at the commercial?
I dont care. Let them burn.
Ok, thanks. Just a premature observation on my part that struck me odd at the moment.. My apologies for bringing it up.
Thought so.
an immoral company is still the enemy even if they dislike Obi-won
Did they sponsor the public sex competition, or were they merely one of many advertisers that Amos and Opie had at the time?
either way
Or incremental.
No problem, or as in the case of Venus de Milo, no 'arm done.
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.
I'm with you. Now we have to find a brewer that is more America-friendly.
Here's one:
Proceeds benefit military charities.
Yuengling - America's Oldest Brewery (pronounced - ying-ling)
Yuengling Lager is far better than Sam Adams. Out sells SA nationally while only sold in about 10 -12 states.
I drink Yeungling—but is the ownership/management conservative?
2010: Dick Yeungling contributed to a Pottstown Pubbie and a RAT. Plays both sides.
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--
2d. The Rights of the Colonists as Christians--
These may be best understood by reading--and carefully studying the institutes of the great Lawgiver and head of the Christian Church: which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament--
Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists

Through the three-day 2014 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills managed to add two offensive tackles to their arsenal in second-round selection Cyrus Kouandjio and seventh-round pick Seantrel Henderson. With both those players in the fold, the Bills opened up a roster spot.
According to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun, the Bills have released reserve offensive tackle Jamaal Johnson-Webb. Buffalo first started the professional relationship with Johnson-Webb at the end of the 2013 season, adding him to the practice squad in December. At the end of the season, the Bills signed him to a futures contract in order to have his rights for the offseason and training camp.
The 6-foot-6, 306-pound product out of Alabama A&M entered the league in 2013 as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. With the anticipated move, Bills now have six offensive tackles on their official roster.

Tracers: The First Universal Draft
April 19 2011 05:16PM
Nowadays, NHL teams use measured language for everything. It was probably inevitable that prepared releases and orchestrated media conferences would win the day, but 40 years ago the quotes from NHL team employees were a lot more fun. Example: the 1969 Amateur Draft--the first universal draft.
When the sponsorship era of NHL history ended (for the most part with 1948 born players) expansion teams had a full swing at the best available amateurs. 1969 saw a large number of exceptional talents available, and the Montreal Canadiens plucked the two best players from Quebec as part of a special rule that gave them the first two selections in any draft should a player or two of high quality from that province have a French Canadian father (hey, I'm not making this up!).
With that advantage, Montreal scored wingers Reggie Houle and Marc Tardif before any other team had a chance to talk out loud. Wayne Overland of the Edmonton Journal reported the story on June 12, 1969 in an article entitled"Why Canadiens Dominate the NHL."
Among the quotes that I found to be most interesting:
- Del Wilson, Montreal's director of player personnel: "We got 10 of our top 33. We were hoping to fluke out and get maybe 4."
- Again Wilson: "(Bobby) Clarke would have been Los Angeles' best player. He could be Philadelphia's leading scorer this year. Philadelphia was lucky to get him. They don't deserve it."
- Wilson again: "Clarke checks so well the other team can't get out of its own end when he's on the ice. He plays 45 minutes a game, how strong is that?" (this was in response to critical comments about Clarke's checking ability and as a diabetic he might not be strong enough).
Clarke did indeed have a tremendous career and Wilson's quotes stand up over time. Wouldn't the NHL draft be more entertaining if (say) the Detroit Red Wings openly questioned selections or the commentators on tsn's broadcasts were former scouts with some strong opinions?
tsn does a great job on just about everything they do, but I can't help but feel it might be an idea to give Pierre McGuire time off around the draft. Hire a crusty old scout with a potty mouth and no fear. Hire a modern Del Wilson.
Ratings would skyrocket.
Lowetide: I think Wayne Overland would be a great guest for your show. Highly entertaining & informed guy.
April 19 2011, 06:02PM
'tsn does a great job on just about everything they do, but I can't help but feel it might be an idea to give Pierre McGuire time off around the draft.'
How about sending McGuire to the showers permanently?
April 19 2011, 06:03PM
If Pierre takes time off at the draft, how are we going to know who the MONSTER(!!!) performers are?
April 19 2011, 06:34PM
Give Pierre the motormouth some time off? He should take a vaca....permanently. Stop treating the fans like idiots who dont know the game. God he is SO FREAKIN ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'tsn does a great job on just about everything they do, but I can't help but feel it might be an idea to give Pierre McGuire time off around the draft.'

I would prop this more than once if they would let me.
C'mon now Wanye, he who is now all powerful can surely come up with a way to give multiple props.
April 19 2011, 06:41PM
Ive always wondered if Mcguire uses armour all on his head because ive never seen a dome shine like that on tv before, and yes it would be UBER COOL if he wasnt part of draft day.
April 19 2011, 06:58PM
Oh, Mcguire's got some strong opinions. It's just been a few years since he's accused anyone of 'going of the reservation.'
I remember McGuire ripped the Habs for taking price, and considering how Halak turned out he still has an argument, though not a great one.
April 19 2011, 07:27PM
Ummm.... GO BLACKHAWKS!
That is all.
April 19 2011, 08:08PM
If that article by Wayne Overland is exemplary of his work, the Journal has a long way to go to return to those standards.
April 19 2011, 10:06PM
McGuire is an idiot, he let out a smug laugh when it was suggested Penner would land a 1st rounder.
April 19 2011, 10:28PM
McGuire did suggest that teams as early as 12th in the draft pick Parise..
McGuire did suggest that teams as early as 12th in the draft pick Parise..
And O'Marra..
MacKenzie is great on draft day. A sponge.
@OB1 Team Yakopov - F.S.T.N.F
Well, I think there are a lot of current Kings fans that would tell you he's a lot smarter than Dean Lombardi for thinking that way.

A look at last season's games
Jason Gregor
July 20 2009 11:46PM
The Oilers aren't blessed with an abundance of proven scorers at this point, in fact as of today they don't have one 30-goal scorer on the roster. If you don't have true top-end talent then you need to play a more physical style to be successful.
JW had an interesting take on how hits relate to success, and while some of the top teams can get away with not being as physical, a team like the Oilers needs to be physical, because rarely do they have more proven skill than the opposition.
Let's take a look at the game-by-game results for wins/loses and hits. (home in bold)

Apr 11th…4-1 loss @ CGY. Get out hit 13-9
Here's a breakdown of how they fared when getting out hit.
- At home…they went 6-9 when getting out hit.
- On the road…they went 13-15 when getting out hit.
- Combined they were 19-24 when getting out hit.
When they had more hits than the opposition the results were as follows:
- At home…they went 11-13 when they had more hits.
- On the road… they went 6-4 when dishing out more hits.
- Combined they were 17-17 when they had more hits.
When they were tied in hits they went:
- At home…they went 1-1
- On the road…they went 1-2
- Combined they were 2-3 when even in hits.
Ten times they went to a shootout, and hits are clearly irrelevant during a shoot out, so that's why I put those games in parenthesis. When they got out hit in SO games they went 3-2 and when they out hit the opposition they went 3-2 as well.
Pat Quinn stated he wants his team to be more physical next year and harder to play against, and after crunching the numbers from last year it's clear they should be. While they were only .500 when out hitting the opposition last year, they still had more success than when they got out hit.
It was also interesting to note that in their 41 home games they averaged 15.4 hits per game and went 18-23 at home. On the road they averaged 18.4 hits per game, which is interesting.
Are the stats guys at Rexall very strict when handing out hits, or were the Oilers that much less physical at home? I'd say it's a bit of both. I went to every home game and many nights there was severe lack of emotion in the Oilers' game, but I'd say that in Edmonton the stats crew is more strict when handing out hits compared to other buildings.
Regardless of which rink crew was tracking the hits, the fact is in games where the Oilers out hit the opposition they had more success on the scoreboard.
Leadership questioned
I spoke with Jarret Stoll yesterday to clear up the rumour regarding his break up with Rachel Hunter. There is no truth to the rumour that Hunter found out via email.
"That is complete BS. We had been talking about it for awhile and unfortunately it didn't work out," said Stoll. "Rachel and I are still friends and there is no truth that I broke the news to her via email. Anyone who believes that isn't very smart."
Guests did receive an email saying the wedding was off, but it came days after Stoll and Hunter had agreed to part ways.

@ Travis Dakin: There is no way Iginla would beat Stortini. Just look at Storts mug, he's ugly and has nothing to lose. You never fight someone who has nothing to lose. :p
@ OvenChicken8: I think I'm with Travis on this one. Huggy Bear would manage to hug it out and not suffer much damage, but he definitely would not destroy Iginla. Now this guy on the other hand.... hxxp://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/04midC89n6fQr/340x.jpg Could you imagine looking across at that in a fight? jeebus

And good God I remember BigMac's first fight and it gets my adrenalin pumping every time I think of it.

Im hoping the Grebs signing was an agreement where once salary is off the books at the end of this year he will be signed to a longer term deal closer to Gilbert dollars. He likes Edmonton and is pretty much gauranteed top 4 here so why would he want to move.
@ Travis Dakin:
I believe you are correct. Iggy probably wouldn't stand for that.

That said, since when were balls tough? Last I checked, balls are pretty much my major weakness as a man.
And it's not a sin if Iggy is from Edmonton, is it?
@ Gregor
Sorry buddy. I didn't read the article. I was stuck staring at RH's jug!

Which one of those guys is going to be able to catch up with top end talent? They can't always run other 4th liners. Not all first line players have Hemsky's deathwish in corners.
This is the post I have a problem with.
My point about MacT was his usage of "safe" players (ie. reddox on the 1st line, brodz when horc was out for game, toby peterson, etc.).
It just seems that many Oiler fans don't question this kind of stuff at all.
If you think having the 4th line out is an autmoatic goal against, you have kinda defeated yourself before the puck is even dropped.
I don't mean to jump all over you, that's unfair, I'm sorry. But that line of thinking, that you have to play it safe all the time, really irks me and other Oilers fans who did not like the way MacT used certain players.

You definitely haven't been following the board for a while. You're in good company, I assure you.
I guess my main problem is that I'd love to see our energy/hitting/fighting line be able to knock around our rivals' stars, I just don't think we really have the right 4th liners for that. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong this season.
@ MattL:
Me too. I think having a center that can skate on the 4th line (Brule?) is really important either way because we know the wingers are going to be big bodies.
I really like the way JFJ can move, though

Who is WE that all saw it??? You sound like a bitter guy who had his girlfriend stolen from them. Why do you care what they do off the ice? Many guys party off the ice and are still productive on the ice. There might be some correlation, but if guys are partying and winning no one sees it as a problem then...it's that nature of the game.

Russia and CIS Business Services
Whilst global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows are feeling the stress of flagging investor confidence amid macroeconomic and political uncertainty, Russia's and the CIS' fast growing consumer markets and natural resources have kept them in the list of top attractive FDI destinations.
In 2012 Russia's FDI inflow decreased by 7% to US$ 51bn, much less than the 18% decline in global FDI. In the CIS region it remains the most attractive FDI destination.
68% of existing investors plan to increase their presence in Russia, and, according to EY's 2013 Russia Attractiveness Survey, the majority of investors believe Russia's entry to the World Trade Organisation, the formation of the Common Economic Space with Belarus and Kazakhstan, and a likely Eurasian Economic Union by 2015, will increase its attractiveness.
Russia and the CIS have many advantages for foreign investors, such as abundant natural resources and strong domestic markets with well educated, highly productive workforces. However, administrative barriers, lack of transparency in business practices and a recovering financial system often compromise these benefits.
Our Russian and CIS Business Services Desk can help
We are a UK-based network of experienced bilingual professionals with knowledge of both the UK and CIS corporate environments gained through hands-on experience with major clients.
We bring the benefits of a global organisation and provide exceptional service for CIS and UK-based clients considering investment in the CIS.

Of all the X's and O's that go into coaching, nothing can replace heart.
It's that intangible that Robert Patton says cannot be replaced and for at least one night, the Gallatin County head coach knew he got that and a whole lot more in his Hawks' 58-53 win over Carmi-White County in the Consolation Championship of the Eldorado Holiday Tournament.
Gallatin County last won the Consolation Championship in 1998 and Patton agreed that since he got his start in 1991, he's never been more proud of any team he has coached.
"They never quit playing," Patton said of his troops. "I've won regionals and sectionals, but I have never been more proud than I was of them winning this basketball game tonight. There probably weren't many people in the stands — and it was a big crowd — that thought we could win this basketball game."
That tongue in cheek comment stemmed from the fact that Gallatin County was without the services of 5-foot-10 senior Jared Jackson, who sprained his ankle in the Hawks' win over Hamilton County Friday night.
Fellow classmate Mitchell Ramsey noted how Jackson's height was missed, but complimented his bunch in overcoming adversity and persevering to the victory.
"We knew we were going to miss Jackson's height, but I thought Zach McGuire and Austin Russell really stepped up and really, we all just wanted to win it for Jared."
Russell helped stave off any comeback from Carmi-White County, knocking down 8-of-7 free throws in the final minutes. As a whole, Gallatin County went 17-of-13 from the foul stripe in the final eight minutes.
"We have had troubles with free throws in the past," Ramsey said. "So, it was nice to be able to step up and have our guys hit some when we really need them tonight.
"Coach (Doug) Miller makes us do a running drill if we miss, so I'm pretty sure we won't have to run a lot after this one," Ramsey joked.
Carmi-White County came out, taking a 16-8 lead after one quarter and led 28-22 at the break.
It was a second half run, where Gallatin County outscored the Bulldogs 36-25 for the come from behind win.
The Hawks were led in scoring by McGuire's 15 points, stepping in for the injured Jackson, who was on fire from beyond the arc, knocking down five 3-pointers. Russell finished with 13 points, eight of which came in the second half and Marcus Wargel tacked on 10 points.
Carmi's Chase Sailor scored 15 points and Joe Matz dumped in 12 points.
"This was absolutely a team effort," Patton said. "That's the makeup of this ballclub. People don't know how great of men these players are and what hard workers they are, every day."

"I ordered these online in my usual size of 6.5. I like the look and feel but I must return them because they feel at least a half size too big. I also bought the Rocket Dog Wheelie flat in 6.5 and it's slightly loose but fits well enough that I could keep them. I may try these in a 6 since I like everything else about them. My comfort rating is based on trying them on, not walking a lot in them."

Notable Comments on Jefferson (20th Century)
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
1912 April 14. (Woodrow Wilson, Jefferson Dinner). "Monopoly, private control, the authority of privilege, the concealed mastery of a few men...He [Thomas Jefferson] would have moved against them, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, sometimes openly, sometimes subtly; but whether he merely mined about them, or struck directly at them, he would have set systematic war against them at the front of all his purpose. As regards the economic policy of the country it is perfectly plain that Mr. Jefferson would have insisted upon a tariff fitted to actual conditions, by which he would have meant not the interests of the few men who find access to the hearings of the ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate, but the interests of the business men and manufacturers and farmers and workers and professional men of every kind and class...He would have known that the currency question is not only an economic question, but a political question, and that, above all else, control must be in the hands of those who represent the general interest...In the general field of business his thought would, of course, have gone about to establish freedom, to throw business opportunities open at every point to new men, to destroy the processes of monopoly, to exclude the poison of special favors, to see that, whether big or little, business was not dominated by anything but the law itself..."[1]
1916 April 13. (Woodrow Wilson, A Jefferson Day Address). "The immortality of Thomas Jefferson does not lie in any one of his achievements, or in the series of his achievements, but in his attitude towards mankind and the conception which he sought to realize in action of the service owed by America to the rest of the world...Thomas Jefferson was a great leader of men because he understood and interpreted the spirits of men...It is not a circumstance without significance that Jefferson felt, perhaps more than any other American of his time, except Benjamin Franklin, his close kinship with like thinking spirits everywhere else in the civilized world. His comradeship was as intimate with the thinkers of France as with the frontiersmen of America, and this rather awkward, rather different man carried about with him a sort of type of what all men should with to be who love liberty and seek to lead their fellow men along those difficult paths of achievement. The only way we can honor Thomas Jefferson is by illumining his spirit and following his example. His example was an example of organization and concerted action for the rights of men, first in America and then, by America's example, everywhere in the world. And the thing that interested Jefferson is the only thing that ought to interest us...If you are ready, you have inherited the spirit of Jefferson, who recognized the men in France and the men in Germany who were doing the liberal thinking of their day as just as much citizens of the great work of liberty as he was himself, and who was ready in every conception he had to join hands across the water or across any other barrier with those who held those high conceptions of liberty which had brought the United States into existence."[2]
1930. (Allen Tate, On the Father of Liberty). "Jefferson had many charms; was democratic; still--and yet What should one do? The family arms On coach and spoon he wisely set Against historical alarms: For quality not being loath, Nor quantity, nor the fame of both."[3]
ca. 1938. (Frank Lloyd Wright on the Jefferson Memorial). "Thomas Jefferson? Were that gentleman alive today he would be the first condemn the stupid erudition mistaken in his honor...in terms of the feudal art and thought that clung to him then, deliberately to make of him now, a fashionable effigy of reaction instead of a character appreciated by his own people as a noble spirit of progress and freedom."[4]
1940. (Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Address at the Jackson Day Dinner). "Thomas Jefferson is a hero to me despite the fact that the theories of the French Revolutionists at times overexcite his practical judgment. He is a hero because, in his many-sided genius, he too did the big job that hen had to be done-to establish the new republic as a real democracy and the inalienable rights of man, instead of a restricted suffrage in the hands of a small oligarchy. Jefferson realized that if the people were free to get and discourse all the facts, their composite judgment would be better than the judgment of a self-perpetuating few. That is why I think of Jefferson as belonging to the rank and file of both major political parties today."[5]
1940. (Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Address at the University of Pennsylvania). "With the gaining of our political freedom you will remember that there came a conflict between the point of view of Alexander Hamilton, sincerely believing in the superiority of Government by a small group of public-spirited and usually wealthy citizens, and, on the other hand, the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, an advocate of Government by representatives chosen by all the people, an advocate of the universal right of free thought, free personal living, free religion, free expression of opinion and above all, the right of free universal suffrage."[6]
1943 April 13. (Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Address at the Dedication of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C.). "Jefferson, across a hundred and fifty years of time, is closer by much to living men than many of our leaders of the years between."[7]
1945 April 13. (Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Undelivered Address prepared for Jefferson Day). "In this historic year, more than ever before, we do well to consider the character of Thomas Jefferson as an American citizen of the world. As Minister to France, then as our first Secretary of State and as our third President, Jefferson was instrumental in the establishment of the United States as a vital fact in international affairs. It was he who first sent our Navy into far-distant waters to defend our rights. And the promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine was the logical development of Jefferson's far-seeing foreign policy. Today this Nation which Jefferson helped so greatly to build is playing a tremendous part in the battle for the rights of man all over the world."[8]
1948. (Ezra Pound, Cantos LXXXI). "'You the one, I the few' said John Adams speaking of fears in the abstract to his volatile friend Mr. Jefferson."[9]
1962 April 29. (John F. Kennedy, Remarks at a Dinner honoring Nobel Prize Winners). "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Someone once said that Thomas Jefferson was a gentleman of 32 who could calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, and dance the minuet."[10]
1963 April 16. (Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter from a Birmingham Jail). "But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love...And Thomas Jefferson: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal'...[11]
1989. (Jerzy Kosinki). "In every Pole there is Jefferson more than anyone else, a love of freedom, free expression-and having a house of one's own."[12]
1989. (Zdenek Janicek, after reading the Declaration of Independence to Polish workers). "Americans understood these rights more than 200 years ago...we are only now learning to believe that we are entitled to the same rights."[13]
1990 February 21. (Vaclav Havel). "When Thomas Jefferson wrote that governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, it was a simple and important act of the human spirit.

Liz tells Jack to stop being so intrusive and "transvaginal." Can we make this a colloquialism already? 2.) Alex from The Glee Project makes his Glee debut in drag. Can I make a confession? I could not stand Alex on The Glee Project because he was so mean and melodramatic all of the time. Regardless, he always killed it when he dressed in drag. Remember when he did Effie from Dreamgirls? Pretty fantastic. Advertisement Second confession: I watched all of The Glee Project. 3.) Wow, Cassie from Skins is now on Game of Thrones. And she's joined by fellow Skins alum Joe Dempsie (A.K.A. Chris). Man, with these two doing GoT, Dev Patel in the upcoming Aaron Sorkin project Newsroom and Nicholas Hoult off making movies, the first generation is doing pretty well for themselves. 4.) Parks and Recreation is back. We're all in love with Tom['s apartment]. And amenities. 5.) Jane Goodall and Jon Stewart hug it out like a couple of chimps. 6.) ZAC EFRON HAS SEX. ZAC EFRON HAS SEX. In case you forgot between all of the red carpet condom dropping and that other time he proved he can take a ladies bra off, everyone would like to make it very clear that Zac Efron more than capable to enter the bone zone. 7.) Troy did not understand Inception. Another great addition to Donald Glover's epic crying reel. 8.) Let's just embrace this whole Gotye thing. But only if the "Somebody That I Used to Know" video is edited to permanently include Taran Killam and Andy Samberg. 9.) Speaking of moody male musicians, Bon Iver was on Ellen. I know it's no longer cool to like Bon Iver, but I don't care. It's Friday, I'm sleepy and this song lets me imagine that I'm naping in a warm cabin full of woolen blankets. 10.) The Zooey Deschanel iPhone commercial is a-barf-able. "Is that rain?" Use those peepers of yours to look out the goddamn window.Reply29 repliesLeave a reply


text: The Accidental Career Aug 30, 2012 by Radha Jhatakia Accidental careers occur so often now-a-days that they hardly seem accidental at all. Some people start jobs assuming that they're only temporary or a springboard into other jobs and they become unintended careers. This could be anything from a high school after-school job to an internship gone right – we often don't realize that we've developed the career until we're already in it, hence the "accidental" moniker. Finding or even choosing a career that you had never intended on going into isn't wrong. When it comes to choosing a career, there is no right or wrong as long as you are doing something you enjoy. On average, a person changes their career seven times over their lifespan. This can happen because the major you chose isn't something you enjoy, because you want to advance in or change your field, or because you are trying something new. With such a diverse variety of options for different careers, the opportunities are endless. Who knows, one day you might stumble upon a career without noticing and enjoy it! Recently, I found my potential career this way. This summer, I had an internship with a company I hadn't pictured myself working at before but positive experience and in-depth exposure I received changed my mind. Throughout the course of the internship, I began to see it as less of a temporary job and more as a future career. Now when I graduate in December, I will have my own accidental career – something different than what I pictured myself doing and different than what I majored in. It just goes to show you can find your career anywhere...even when you're not looking! Radha Jhatakia is a communications major at San Jose State University. She's a transfer student who had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

President Obama is urging campaign supporters to join a new permanent advocacy group designed to push his gun control plan and other initiatives.
The new organization is called Organizing for Action, and basically replaces the campaign called Organizing for America.
In an e-mail Friday, Obama told backers that the new OFA "will be an unparalleled force in American politics. It will work to turn our shared values into legislative action -- and it'll empower the next generation of leaders in our movement."
The missive included a video from first lady Michelle Obama, who told supporters: "If we want to finish what we started and truly make that change we believe in, we can't stop now."
President Obama also said:
"We may have started this as a long shot presidential primary campaign in 2007, but it's always been about more than just winning an election. Together, we've made our communities stronger, we've fought for historic legislation, and we've brought more people than ever before into the political process.
"We have the power to do even more to change our politics and our country for the better. With Organizing for Action, you'll have every resource you need to do it.
"But it starts with you. This new organization is in your hands.
"'m so excited to see what you all do next -- and so grateful to be part of it.

Made My Hair Fall Out... : (Like the previous reviewer, this also made my hair fall out - I only just figured it out when I switched back to my old faithful, Redken.
My hair can be on the dry side, and this shampoo made it dry and frizzy on the first day (day of washing), but then the next day my hair was incredibly greasy and gross.
It did volumize my hair (the first day anyway), and I loved the smell of the shampoo, and the "tingly-ness" of the conditioner, but ultimately this did not work for me...and I have the bald patches to prove it : (Sep 22, 2010Mary D.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Not For MePros: It does give you volume!
Cons: Your hair falls out (at least for me). I have fine hair that tends to fall out already so I was looking for something to help that. All my hairstylists recommended me this first. I tried it out for 3 months and no luck. I used it with it's partner conditioner and it left my hair raw. So I used the enjoy hydrating conditioner at the ends of hair which helped make it more silkier and smoother. This shampoo is thick and just didn't get along with my hair as I hoped it would.Aug 24, 2010Anna

"While I'm glad to see the IRS apologize for unfairly targeting conservative groups, this frankly isn't enough. We need to have ironclad guarantees from the IRS that it will adopt significant protocols to ensure this kind of harassment of groups that have a constitutional right to express their own views never happens again. As several Senators and I wrote to the IRS last year, there can be no tolerance for the IRS being turned into a political weapon; it has a chilling and, frankly, Nixonian effect on those who wish to speak their mind. I will be discussing this further with the head of the IRS and expect a full briefing and report as to how this happened. The American people deserve to know who at the IRS learned about this unlawful activity, when they learned about it, and what they did, or did not, do when they did learned about it."
Hatch has spearheaded efforts in Congress to prevent politics from playing a role in any action taken on non-profit 501(c)(4) organizations. Last August, 9 Senators joined Hatch in a letter to IRS Commissioner Shulman asking the agency to clarify its intentions for 501(c)(4) organizations. In March 2012, a dozen Republican Senators called on the IRS to prevent politics from playing a role in any action taken on non-profit 501(c)(4) organizations after several groups applying for the status received excessive follow-up inquiries from the agency. A similar group of Senators, questioned the agency's preservation of privacy protections for these groups in June 2012.

Oak Creek girls knock off state runner-up King, improve to 13-1
Knights to visit Franklin on Friday
Oak Creek - On a team level, the girls basketball team had already proved much to itself this season, but the third-ranked in state Knights took that a step further last week, powering past formidable nonconference opponent Muskego and then returning to WIAA D1 state runner-up Milwaukee King to burnish their record to a finely honed 13-1.
On an individual level, the Knights also took steps up: Junior forward Tamya Sims more than made up for the abundant foul trouble in that 63-57 road win at King last Friday with a career game of 26 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots.
"That was clearly one of her very best games," Knights coach Steve Hluchnik said. "It was one of those nights where everything that could go wrong did and she helped lead us through."
The two victories lifted the Knights to 13-1 overall, as they have not lost since the first game against Pius XI. They ended the first half of league play at 7-0 in Southeast Conference play and began the second with likely their most challenging week of the last month of the regular season.
They took on third place Racine Park (5-2, 10-5) on Tuesday and then will visit second-place rival Franklin (6-1, 10-3) on Friday in a pair of games that can go a long ways toward all but clinching the Southeast title.
They routed Park, 64-37, the first time around and overpowered the Sabers, 52-38, in their first meeting.
They prepared for those upcoming games well.
Learning lessons while winning
The triumph over King was the second major victory for the Knights over a City Conference power this season as they had edged Riverside last month.
But it did not come easily. They used their size early to bolt out to a 15-point lead early in the second half, but that quickly dissipated as Oak Creek ran into serious foul trouble. First, point guard Morgan Kokta had to sit the last 5-1/2 minutes of the first half with three fouls and then later in the second half, center Steph Kostowicz had to sit a combined total of 8-1/2 minutes with four fouls.
"We actually finished the game with three girls playing with four fouls (Kokta, Kostowicz and Hannah Settingsgaard)," Hluchnik said. "The game was also very physical and they really let some things go."
Oak Creek's lead shriveled to 46-44 by the end of the third quarter and the Generals actually tied the score with about 3:30 to go, but then the Knights went on a 6-0 run late as Sims had four points in the outburst and Kokta hit a critical pull-up jumper.
Oak Creek was not great at the foul line at the end, but still hit enough free throws (12 of 21) to hold off King.
Sims was a big part of that as she was able to overpower the shorter Generals underneath. She hit six of 10 free throws.
The Knights needed her to do that, because the three-pointer was not their friend this evening: They hit only three of 17 tries from beyond the arc. Despite their foul trouble, both Kostowicz (13 points) and Kokta (10) reached double figures while Katie Finn and Settingsgaard had seven apiece.
"We didn't shoot well, we ran into foul trouble and we still won," said Hluchnik. "There's something to be said for learning lessons while winning, because it certainly beats learning lessons while you're losing."
Against the Warriors
In the 55-42 victory over their former Southeast rival Muskego on Jan. 15, the Knights didn't have such shooting problems early, as they hit five first-quarter three-pointers and raced out to a 23-6 lead.
"We did a good job of rotating the kids in early and everyone was really on rhythm that first quarter," Hluchnik said.
The Warriors, who came back with an impressive Classic 8 win over Arrowhead later in the week, could not overcome Oak Creek's early advantage as the lead never got below double digits after that.
Kostowicz and Sims both had 14 points apiece for the Knights while Settingsgaard and Kokta had 10 apiece.
"They're a quality program and a rival, so we like to keep them on the schedule," Hluchnik said of Muskego.

With one day to go in the U.S. presidential election, Obama's probability of winning has reached 86%, according to New York Times polling guru Nate Silver.
Betting markets Intrade and Betfair also show the President maintaining a strong (but less extreme) lead. These assessments come despite the continued release of some polls that look good for Romney. The difference between the national polls and the betting markets, some polling experts say, is that the national polls focus on the popular vote, whereas Silver's odds focus on state-by-state polls aimed at determining the winner of the electoral college and, with it, the Presidency. Nate Silver's model also averages hundreds of polls.
Nate Silver is so confident in his polling model that he publicly offered to bet MSNBC host Joe Scarborough who would win the election. Scarborough, who maintains that the election is a "toss-up," has not accepted the challenge.
Let's go to the data...
First, Nate Silver now gives Obama 86% chance of reelection. That's up from a post-first-debate low of ~60% three weeks ago, and it's higher than the 80% previous all-time peak Obama hit just before the first debate.

How was your followup reading session?
No hooting laughter, that's for sure. Don'tcha hate it when the "bad guys" are right?
Now I have to get me a gub'mint job, to break the regime from the inside! < /sarc >
Oh, and to add insult to injury, the pub lost power and was closed by the time we finished election duty! A beer at home just ain't the same!
Now that hurts.

- Love it! by Donna on 1/3/2013
I love this bible - it has so many options for me day to day. I often feel like I don't know where to start my day in the Word... So, I just turn to a colored page with a "God-picked" topic and can get a 5-minute 'kibble', or dive deep for an in-depth 'hearty meal'. It covers all kinds of topics us busy moms need help with. I recommend it for every mom out there. God Bless You!

Mine originated from Diablo II when I was searching for a name for an assassin. I was young and stupid at the time and was looking at a site of deities and was looking up death deities and came across the Buddhist Amida Nyorai. I ended up liking the name and used Nyorai for the assassin and further adopting the name Amida as my online name and ending up befriending a lot of people by it. Because I was using Amida people thought I was female so I switched to WestNyorai which is a reference to Amida and wasn't as religious. However, now a days I go by Nyo to respect the culture. Which sadly is too short for most sites so I still use WestNyorai or WestNyo at times.
While I'm not religious, I ended up learning a lot about Buddhism and grew up with Amida Buddha (Amitābha) as a role model. Which shows you don't have to be a believer to be influenced by the teachings.
well for mine it was when all my old account got hacked so i needed to start anew so then my katsuachi(katsura and itach that sew together) hug pillow stated talking to me saying that it should be subject delta(from bioshock)
playing me some farcry
My roommates and I are... dudes, to say the least.
Some times one of us comes in the house and just screams "GET BUCK NAKED!"
Obviously we're stupid, so one time I yelled "GET NUCK BAKED!"
We have the skull of a buck in our living room. After these inside jokes we decided to name him Nuck da Buck.
This has been my online moniker ever since.
We also made stickers honoring Nuck da Buck. I put one on my mini cruiser board. My roommate put the other on his macbook.
Hmm because boncing and clowns are awesome
♥ Ikutos-lady-amu 12/29/12 the day she became MY Pika ♥
my name and my husbands last name mixed with dob~
Anime and Drama topics wanted
It's the username my online best friend created, I am carrying it on as an honor to his memory.
It's foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know. ~Itachi Uchiha
The hidden meaning of my forum name is so complicated and deep that I don't even remember anymore.
My name obviously comes from the anime. I adopted the speedracer name when I graduated from the SNES to the 3DO and many of the games were PC ports and your character name was incorporated into the dialog in game. The 223 came about when I started to play BF2 on PC and I was not the first speedracer to the table.
I used to go on millsberry and I couldn't think of a username. So I decided to put my first name and mill- at the end. So it became shamaramill. And I just kept using that for everything.
cr makes me depressed
I never had a very online sounding username, always more like RP names. So when my first xbox account was hacked I figured it was about time to come up with something good. So I came up with MetalyRawred. But everyone pronounced Rawred as Raw Red. So then while lurking around Gaia Online I realized my character was always adorned in Neko gear, and because cats have a natural attraction to me it just came to be.
2:22am, and I'm sitting around lurking Crunchyroll...
a cat girl came down form the heavens and said name your self this or i will neuter your ass
my brain wasn't cooperating that day, as if i was having to think my way through gravy-so out of that frustration came brainlock.
mine is the names penny and pepper mixed together, those are my guinea pigs names
Halloween may be over but I still love to be Halloweened themed!
i dont think my name needs a real explaination, i do a lot of meditating and love very peaceful/relaxing settings so i through that together
It has absolutely no meaning its completely random i was just really bored
I come and go - done with all of the shit with CR
