While hashing through news headlines today (but finding more depth and newsworthiness in ads for diet pills), I stumbled across a news story at WorldNetDaily. Interesting!
What do you think of this? President Obama seems to have this little problem with the “C” word, is that right? The word: Creator. As in the Creator who endowed us with inalienable rights, like it says in the Declaration of Independence.
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…
WorldNetDaily reports that President Obama, for the third time in public, has refused to mention the “C” word when quoting the Declaration.
“It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire, and said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’”
The offense is that, in his public statement, Obama is directly quoting (not paraphrasing) the founding fathers. And he’s quoted it wrong. THREE times.
Does he think that if he doesn’t mention it anymore, no one will remember it? Wouldn’t it be the absolute DREAM if politicians really got Americans to believe that we get our rights from government? Then they can do ANYTHING they want!
I give WorldNetDaily a lot of credit for making a big stink about this. It’s causing a small firestorm among the REAL media and causing Americans to consider this aspect of the Declaration again.
The founding fathers were KINDA picky about where they got their rights. We don’t get them from the king. We don’t get them from committees. We don’t get them from the evolutionary process or from talking heads or from government bureaucrats or elected officials. We get our RIGHTS from GOD. The CREATOR. I think those old guys knew what they were talking about.
What do you think?
