So let me close by saying this. Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. To British and French, to Dutch and Spanish, to Mexican -- (applause) -- to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land. We didn’t always get along. But over the centuries, what eventually bound us together -- what made us all Americans -- was not a matter of blood, it wasn’t a matter of birth. It was faith and fidelity to the shared values that we all hold so dear. 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.
he thinks we are endowed BY THE GOVERNMENT with rights
He was probably being very careful not to say Allah.
0bama Re-Writes Declaration of Independence to Leave Out "Creator"
The would-be-dictator is at it again.
. . . . Did y'all see this?
[Thanks for the pings.]
I did see it! I actually feel a little bad for barry when he comes face to face with God. His wrath shows NO mercy!
I ask this question again: ARE THERE PATRIOTIC SPECIAL FORCES, COMMANDOS, FBI PERSONNEL OUT THERE WHO WILL STEP UP AND STOP THIS ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE? We are being overtaken by the enemy from within and WHERE ARE THOSE FORCES WHO CAN PROTECT US?
I can only hope and pray that there are patriotic men and women behind the scenes who are working together to stop this evil enemy in the White House. We don’t know who, we don’t know when, we don’t know how, but let us pray that patriots exist. Ladies and gentlemen, know that WE PATRIOTIC CITIZENS DO EXIST, THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE, AND THAT WE ARE WITH YOU.
Dear BO:
There is a God.
You are NOT Him.

He doesn’t believe in God. He only believes in Allah. The God of Judaism and Christianity grants human beings the gift of free will, because as Milton’s Raphael says, He wants to be “freely loved.”
The Christian God is also a God of rationality. Jesus is called the Logos, beginning with the opening of the Gospel of John. His understanding is far above ours, but He is not irrational or arbitrary.
This is in complete contrast with Allah, the “God” of Islam. Allah is completely arbitrary. He is “above” rationality. He holds the universe in being from instant to instant, but he might change his mind at any instant and abolish it. His followers have no freedom of will, but are rewarded with materialistic goodies as he pleases.
The commonest of Muslim sayings is inshallah, “As Allah wills,” or “if Allah wills.” It’s all up to Allah’s arbitrary will, and logic or free choice or love has nothing to do with it.
I should have drawn the conclusion. The Christian God grants humanity “inalienable rights,” including especially the freedom to choose. Allah would scorn the idea of granting anyone freedom. Instead, he arbitrarily selects his rulers, sheikhs, imams, caliphs, and the like and gives those who govern all power to do pretty much as they like with their subjects.

Yeah, “La Raza”? What race? Are they going to invite Chippewas and Inuits to the party too? What about Mongols? Oh that’s right, the “indigenous peoples” don’t believe in the land-bridge theory, they just sprung up out of the dirt here I guess.
I think he did well. Consider the fact that his urge would have been to say, “endowed by Mohammed.....” and you can see that just leaving out “Creator” was quite an accomplishment for him. /s
I’m surprised the pig didn’t substitute Allah or himself.
Thanks, but any FReeper who doesn't know that by heart should be shown the door.
True, but you never know when DU’ers are on line.
If that doesn't work, there's this that follows:
"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."
“The Creator” is going to take care of him!!!!
