"Obama drops 'Creator' from Declaration quote . . ."

-Reference (1) at bottom.

 In case you may have thought that it is unwarranted for people to question the sincerity of Obama's "Christianity", consider the article referenced above.  No Bible-believing Christian that I know, or have ever known, would simply delete, in a public speech, an important, and well-known, historical reference to the "Creator". 

Anyone can speculate on why Obama chose to delete, in a teleprompter-assisted speech, this well-known part of one of the two most important founding documents of America (The Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution).   

But why do I think he did it? 

First of all, it absolutely wasn't misspeaking, Obama said it, after a lengthy pause (listen to his speech on YouTube).  This was no mistake.  It was very intentional.  It was a very intentional part of a political speech.

I claim that he did it (left out reference to the "Creator") because his political ideology is much more important to him than any pesky element of a Christianity that he gives lip service to, but doesn't respect.  The only religion that Obama has publicly demonstrated respect toward, by bowing down to Muslim leaders, is Islam. 

Obama obviously doesn't accept the Christian viewpoint that human “rights” are endowed by God. Indications are that he believes that "rights" are endowed by governments, not by God.   

We certainly have proof from his statement that he doesn't support the notion that "rights" are endowed by the "Creator".  He left the "Creator" out.  Is this his notion of Christianity?  Is this part of what he learned, in 20 years, at the feet of Liberation-Theology-pastor Jeremiah Wright?  Or did he learn this from the community-organizer godfather, Saul Alinksy, RULES FOR RADICALS. 

There are actually two sentences from the Declaration of Independence that are pertinent to this discussion: 

"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."
– Extract from the Declaration of Independence 

President Obama has made it clear via his words and his actions that he does not believe that "rights" are "endowed by their Creator (God)".  Also Obama has made it clear (by such actions as forcing ObamaCare down the throats of an unwilling population) that he does not believe that "governments are...deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."  It is abundantly clear that Obama wants the government to be the sole provider and dictator of human "rights".  And he, Obama, wants to decide what those "rights" are.  But after all, he is the ONE that he has been waiting for. 

His words (leaving out the “Creator”) are simply a further, unmistakable demonstration that he is determined to change (re-write) the historically clear precepts initiated by our founding fathers, precepts that they wrote into our nation's founding documents.  Obama is in fact pursuing his unwavering, political intent, stated in his presidential campaign, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States."   

Barack Hussein Obama is the most dangerous and destructive individual, toward America's heritage of liberty and self-government, ever to occupy the office of President.   

Commentators have discussed many examples of this destructiveness, but the most obvious is that Barack Obama holds no allegiance to our nation's basic founding principles.  He holds no allegiance to the Declaration of Independence as written; no allegiance to the U.S. Constitution as written.   And to the extent that he continues to pursue his destructive goal of "...fundamentally transforming the United States", he is anti-American--this is what makes him a deadly threat to our nation. This is why that he, and those who support his ideology and his policies must be voted out of office, if our national heritage is to survive.  Let's begin the necessary cleansing on November 2nd, 2010.
