    - To the Farmer in all of us - .
    About time.
    The best commercial I've seen in a long long time.
    During the Super Bowl.
    Narrated by the Great Paul Harvey.
    There are still Miracles in America.
    I just witnessed one.

    The movement of people from farms to the cities have meant the abandonment of the work ethic and family values that made America great.

    And that's why America is doomed.

    Even in Texas, the big cities are beginning to swing things the other way.

    We have nothing to look forward to but more poverty, more unemployment, more business failures.

    We will never come back from this.

    Never.

    If enough Great Americans step forward and explain in simple
    dynamic words what made this Country Great and wholesome,then
    these State-run Authoritarians will be at a loss.
    I'm tired of the advantage a State-run Politburo has over
    the minds of Americans.They are incrementally trying to uproot
    tradition and brainwash an entire nation with propaganda and
    Big Brother talk.

    Meh, using mythology and bad radio commentators to sell trucks.

    Whilst I own a Ram myself and love it, the grating din that is Paul Harvey's voice coupled with the nonsense about how a fairy, ghost, spirit, whatever in the sky made farmers did not make me want to rush out and buy a truck.

    Kudos to Dodge for finding a new angle to appeal to the consumer.

    I remember listening to the great Paul Harvey- he was an American treasure.

    You will eventually meet God, and then you can explain to him that he's an imaginary sky fairy.

    Nah, not going to happen.

    Thee is no evidence your god ever existed.The entire concept of some being in the sky, who apparently favors Dodge Rams, is nothing more than an ancient way to explain the formerly unknown, such as tides and droughts. Absolutely zero indication that it is anything more than a myth, same as the Greek and Norse myths.

    yes,Massa Heathen.How apropos to believe in such hokum.
    Again ... Explain to all us here the Great men of 2 thousand plus years
    virtually wasting their precious time on such things as Philiosophy
    or the study of Life.Or with Theology.
    Even Albert Einsten said : " God does not play dice ".
    However YOU in all her spendid Ignurnce,just did.
    It takes a real Bozo to dress like you.Act like you.
    BE YOU

    2,000 years of Christian history and your god is reduced to being used to hock trucks. Bravo.

    Your right, there is no evidence. At least no hard evidence. You also maybe right that there is no God. But what if their is? What if all this perfect world was not all made by chance and time? If people believe and are wrong, what have they lost? To try and live a better life and treat people better? Now think, what if your wrong, what have you lost?

    "God's origninal plan was to hang out in a garden with some nakid vegetarians" Adam was the first farmer. But NAFTA and GATT take away the American farmers ability to compete with central and south America, because those farmers only pay their workers fifty cents an hour, and the U.S. farmer has to pay $6.00 an hour, and Americans are too lazy to do crop picking. So now all our food comes from south of the border. The GOP immigration policies screw the U.S. farmer. Bring back the migrant farm workers, and stop the import of foreigners that take high paying jobs. And stop educating foreigners that take those jobs. Educate Americans instead.

    If God made farmers (who's traits were defined in the excellent commercial), who made the antithesis or the opposite of farmers? How do think the two groups or types of people are likely to vote?

    You don't need to believe in God to try and live a better life and treat people better.
    Sometimes it even gets in the way.

    Maybe God made farmers, but he didn't make the subsidies we throw at them.

    Nonsense.
    God made hunters and gatherers.
    Some progressive caveman or woman invented farming.

    Always enjoyed hearing Paul Harvey. Not a miracle but a nice tribute to farmers and Paul Harvey.

    Your right you don't have to believe to do those things. But if there is a God, you need to believe in him if you want to go to heaven.

    Unless the Mormons are right. If they have it correct, then no one goes to hell unless they actively defy God and know that he exists.

    I'd venture to say the vast majority of pick-up truck owners don't live on a farm.

    You wonder what demographic they were appealing to?

    Life is NOT all about money. They were appealing to true Americans whether they buy a Dodge or not.

    Can you understand that? I think you can. :)
