I’ve seen some Visa commercials like this and they bugged me I just didn’t ever take the time to stop and wonder why. You are right Terrie. It is so Pavlov. I am nervous about going to a completely cashless system. There are all kinds of negative things it can lead to.

Big time peer pressure. Super clever commercials.

Watching this video reminds me of a song my grandpa use to sing. He is my mom’s dad and he grew up in mining country in Pennsylvania. The song went something like this:

I load sixteen tons what do I get, another day older and deeper in dept, Lordy don’t you call me cause I can’t go, I owe my soul to the company store.

I never really did like these commercials except for their clever marketing… alwyas has fascinated me how one little commercial can have so many different meanings and subtle brainwashing techniques.

Our Mission Statement

Encourage people to learn about our Constitution and the freedoms it preserves and to have faith in the Judaeo-Christian principles upon which it is based so that when those freedoms are threatened action may be taken to protect them.

In support of our mission statement, here is our Three-Fold Purpose of the blog, In God We Trust.

1. Defining and spreading an understanding of our Constitutional freedoms for the purpose of sustaining those freedoms.

2. Identifying threats to the unity of the conservative base, and helping people to resist the pressure to compromise values as an answer to political tensions.

3. Spreading the message that the key for healing the nation is showing respect, tolerance and kindness as we accept the political differences of others.

Our Blog Theme Song:
