President Obama removes "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence (VIDEO HERE)

On September 15, President Obama addressed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. At around 22:30, he incorporated part of the The Declaration of Independence, but removed any reference to the "Creator."

After President Obama says "created equal..", there is a long pause during which he scowls and blinks several times. For once, he may actually have opted to not read something that was on the teleprompter. Is looks like he is disgusted and decided it would be better not to read what the preamble actually says.

President Obama, if our Creator is not the purveyor of our rights, then who is? The government?

What a worthless POS this a-hole is.

So much for his ‘faith’, if it ever existed. Even if you’re not a believer, ‘God’ is still a necessary legal concept. Without God, where do our rights come from? That’s right, the government, and it can change or rescind them as it sees fit.

Another day, yet another outrage......

Well, I can’t listen to 24 minutes of that nonsense. I fast forwarded from place to place. Almost entirely an ego trip. Obama ego appealing to Hispanic egos, with references to Pelosi ego and Teddy Kennedy ego, etc. No, as a matter of fact it’s pretty common for postmodern so-called constitutionalist scholars to leave God out of it. Our freedoms are given by the State, so they are not “inalienable,” and can be just as quickly taken away by the state. In fact, as a constitutional lawyer thought that it was a mistake for the Constitution to “give” us those freedoms in the first place. At least, to those of us who are racially challenged.

I really don’t think Barry understands the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Most foreigners don’t. They just modify and pervert our founding documents for their own purposes so they can use them against us.

That’s creepy.

Thanks for the alternate link. What’s up with those pop-ups? They seem to be making a bigtime comeback, and are sneakier than ever.

IMHO, Obama is not a muslim. He is an atheist or agnostic with humanist and marxist beliefs who makes the state the center of his true religion. He sympathizes with Muslims and third world countries as that is the culture he respects, and he grew up in a muslim country with a dictator, so he doesn’t have any of the spiritual or cultural “checks” a true American does. He purposely sends little messages to muslims in his actions ( like taking off his wedding ring for Ramadan) so they believe he is one of them, as the Egyptian leader said Obama told him he is really a muslim. So when he says he isn’t to the American people, the muslims wink and think they know better, and he is just lying to the kaffir infidels. He stumbles over words like in the Declaration because they are against everything that he wishes to portray himself as. I’m firmly convinced one of the reasons he stutters off teleprompter is because he weighs every word to think how it would go down with all the people he is trying to deceive. People who are real don’t need to do that, or they are very good at it, like Bill Clinton. And of course if you are a Democrat the media will try to cover for you.

What do you expect from the hyphenated “american”?

The "Creator" is the absolute foundation of the idea of what this country was founded on. If you take that away America no longer exists! Conservative's will we let them do this? Will we let them destroy this country?

Indeed he is a POS, I also noticed his wedding ring is still gone... supposedly it was being fixed, about two weeks ago..



To: SeekAndFind

Got caught in his throat. Couldn't bring himself to say the word. Hope our Creator does not hold him against us.

One has to wonder if Obama ever READ the Preamble, given what he has done to the Constitution since he stole the oval office. 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.  Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
