Obama: Rewriting the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence–one speech at a time
President Obama again quotes the Declaration of Independence and again leaves out the part about our rights coming from “the Creator.” That’s twice in the last week. What’s up with that?
OBAMA: DON’T TELL ME WHERE YOUR RIGHTS COME FROM!
LEAVES OUT WHERE AMERICANS GET THEIR RIGHTS FROM, ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION
Seriously: what’s up with Obama and his seeming inability to attribute where the rights of Americans originate according to the Declaration of Independence?
Seven days, two Obama speeches, two paraphrases of the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence–and twice, the president has left out that “the Creator” has endowed all men with certain inalienable rights.
Just seven days after he sparked controversy by omitting the word “Creator” when he closely paraphrased the passage from the Declaration of Independence that says all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights,” President Barack Obama again omitted the Creator when speaking about the “inalienable rights” that “everybody is endowed with.”
This time the president was speaking at a Sept. 22 fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, and his reference to “inalienable rights” was not as close a paraphrasing of the Declaration as it had been the week before.
Last week, Obama Quotes Declaration: Doesn’t Say Rights Come from Creator:
What does it mean that Barack Obama–or one of his staff–purposely omitted that our rights come from our Creator? If rights come from the government, they can be taken away by the government; if rights are granted by the Creator, then, the government that takes away those rights is an illegitimate government.
The Founding Fathers knew that. Did Barack Obama know it too?
Food for thought.
THE QUOTE THEN FROM OBAMA: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That’s what makes us unique.”
The White House tried to cover and said that the president went off teleprompter and forgot about the Creator. CNS says that that wasn’t the first time Obama’s done it.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute dinner, however, was not the first time President Obama has omitted mention of the Creator when speaking of the “inalienable rights” cited in the Declaration of Independence. He has also published official presidential proclamations that take this approach.
On Sept. 17, 2009, for example, Obama issued a “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day” proclamation that mentioned man’s “certain unalienable rights” but not the Creator who endows man with them.
Vicki McClure Davidson, Frugal Cafe Blog Zone has this to say [All Doubts Removed, It’s Deliberate: Obama AGAIN Omits “Creator” from Preamble at NY Democrat Fundraiser]:
Yes, our Commander in Chief did it again. Because rewriting the Declaration of Independence is no big deal when you’re striving to dismantle the US Constitution. And torquing off the majority of Americans is status quo for Democrat socialist-progressives these days.
Because acting like a “sounds like the word cuts, but starts with the letter P” seems to be what Dear Leader does best these days.
Clearly, Barack Obama has a mental block when it comes to proclaiming what is written in the Declaration of Independence: that Americans are endowed by the Creator with certain inalienable rights.
That he’s left out this important, fundamental part of the Declaration, not only in speeches, but in written proclamations, is disturbing. Wonder if our crack Mainstream press will ask him about it?
No, I didn’t think so either.
If the feds grant Americans their rights, instead of the Creator, then Obama may feel more at ease when his administration tramples those rights.
What the government giveth, the government taketh away.
