It is first sung by Peter alone when he goes to various attractions while traveling around Massachusetts. A reprisal is performed by Peter, Lois, Brian, and a crowd of people from or visiting Massachusetts. The sequence parodied the famous “Spirit of Massachusetts” ad campaign from the 1980s.

The Spirit of Massachusetts
The Spirit of Massachusetts is the Spirit of America
The Spirit of Massachusetts is the Spirit of America › The Forerunner I have enjoyed reading The Forerunner for several years now. I read the recent article on Massachusetts, and felt compelled to write a follow-up. There is much more hope and a more positive side to the history of Massachusetts than the article implies. The Massachusetts state legislature adopted the slogan, “The Spirit of Massachusetts Is the Spirit of America,” during the Dukakis administration. Although the slogan was devised as a means to secure financial gain for the Commonwealth, it is strikingly prophetic of a spiritual reality – for good or evil, Massachusetts has been the spiritual focal point of the U.S. for the past 370 years. The politics and ethics of the United States of America were birthed in Massachusetts … first in Plymouth, then in Boston under Governor John Winthrop. The spiritual climate of the entire nation was greatly affected by Massachusetts. The most significant event of the 1700s, barring the Revolution, was the Great Awakening which was sparked in a tiny Northampton Church pastored by Jonathan Edwards. The World Missions Movement also had its beginning in a prayer meeting under a haystack near Williamstown, Massachusetts. Adoniram Judson and the first missionaries from America set sail from the port of Salem in 1812. In the early 1800s, the western part of the state was the center of sporadic spiritual awakenings. All of this evidence leads up to an obvious conclusion – that the spiritual history of America has had its seed in Massachusetts. Since the beginning of the 1800s, Massachusetts has also been a bed of growing iniquity. Humanism, in the form of Transcendentalism and Unitarianism, also had its roots there. Social philosophers, such as Emerson and Thoreau, contributed to the destruction of the Christian foundations of America. In the 20th century, Marxism, humanism, existentialism, socialism, and immorality have all found a haven in many colleges and universities. But God has a destiny for Massachusetts! He always keeps His covenants with men, and virtually every township in the Bay State is founded on such a covenant with God. Long before becoming the governor of Massachusetts, John Winthrop had a deep understanding of God’s divine purposes for the colony. “We shall be a city set on a hill,” he said of Boston – where the church was the center of life during those early years of the city’s history. While en route to the New World on board the Arabella, Winthrop wrote a sermon entitled “A Model of Christian Charity,” in which he outlined the purposes of God for New England. He described a harmonious Christian community whose laws and government would logically proceed from a godly and purposeful arrangement. He wrote: “The Lord will be our God … He shall make us a praise and glory that men shall say of the succeeding plantations, ‘The Lord make it like that of New England … ‘” But Winthrop also gave a warning: “The eyes of all people are upon us, so that…

The state has a rich history including the revolutionary war and the Boston tea party with one of the causes of these occurences being taxation without representation. Times have changed over the years and I am curious to see what you think the motto on your license plate means to you now.

Massachusetts has long been a Liberal Democrat stronghold and it seems that the country swung that way with the election of Obama so I guess the Spirit of America could have something to do with that. Massachusetts is also known for it’s stubborn Yankee way of thinking and that is something that helped to spark the American Revolution. We did just elect a Republican Govenor and Republicans won big across the country in the last election so maybe the Spirit of Massachusetts is the Spirit of America is a political thought or movement? If Boston gets the olympics maybe the jingle could be brought back? 01-30-2015, 08:30 AM Location: NH 820 posts, read 951,236 times Reputation: 1034 Quote: Originally Posted by Cape Cod Todd That is a catchy jingle.
