It also mirrors the USSR’s Constitution.

Sure they’re free to worship. They’re free to worship *him*.

[txrefugee]

Free to worship behind closed doors for an hour or two a week. Guess he doesn’t understand that “free exercise thereof” clause.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There are two kinds of people in this world, those with a religious faith in government, and those with a religious faith in God.

Religious faith in government is far crazier than religious faith in God.

[MrEdd]

Poor Obonghit.

If only that confusing constitution weren’t written in cursive.

[FlingWingFlyer]

In ObamaNation, you’re “free to worship”. Just don’t let anyone see you or hear about you doing it.

Perhaps we might view this video as a reminder of the price of liberty and an appropriate recognition of all, including those courageous signers of our Declaration of Independence who were willing to sacrifice life, liberty and property to secure it the opportunity for freedom for us.

[Diogenesis]

"There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not,
if he could, follow the example of Pharaoh -
get first all the people's money, then their lands,
and then make them and their children servants forever.

It will be said that we do not propose to establish kings.
I know it.
But there is a natural inclination in mankind to kingly government.
It sometimes relieves them from aristocratic domination.
They had rather have one tyrant than 500.
It gives more the appearance of equality among citizens, and that they like.
I am apprehensive - therefore - perhaps too apprehensive -
that the government of these States may in future times end in a monarchy
[not called a monarchy but an executive with monarchial powers].
But this catastrophe, I think, may long be delayed,
if in our proposed system we do not sow the seeds of contention,
faction and tumult, by making our posts of honor places of profit.
If we do, I fear that, though we employ at first a number
and not a single person,
the number will in time be set aside,
it will only nourish the fetus of a king
(as the honorable gentleman from Virginia very aptly expressed it),
and a king will the sooner be set over us."

-- Benjamin Franklin

This is one of Obama’s most offensive attempts to rewrite the First Amendment. I have a God-given right to the free exercise of my religious faith, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. That right includes an absolute and non-negotiable right to refuse to pay for the murder of unborn children, an absolute right not to pretend that two men or two women can marry in any meaningful sense, and in all respects an absolute right to follow the Bible as written by Moses, Paul, Peter, and others guided and inspired by God.

Any government that infringes on that first of our Constitutional rights is inherently illegitimate. If Obama is trying to provoke a second civil war, that is probably the shortest path to his goal (which may explain why he is so enthusiastic about those evil actions).

The Devil Went Down To Washington

[Slyfox]

Queen Elizabeth I (aka - ‘Bloody Bess’) claimed that she did not want to know what was in people’s consciences, however when they exercised them against her religion they got in trouble, and some were executed.

[P.O.E.]

Maybe he meant to say “Free to submit” (to Allah), perhaps?

God humbled King Nebuchadnezzar when he was proud and arrogant and gave him a mind and heart of wild animal of the field.
God caused him to go and eat in the field for 7 years as his finger nails and nails on his feet grew long and his hair on his body grew long and became matted with the dew and he must have smelled really bad.

Daniel 4

32. You will be forced away from people and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like cattle. And seven time periods will pass until you realize that the Most High has power over human kingdoms and that he gives them to whomever he wishes.”
33. Just then the prediction about Nebuchadnezzar came true. He was forced away from people and ate grass like cattle. Dew from the sky made his body wet until his hair grew as long as eagles’ feathers and his nails grew as long as birds’ claws.

This is what Nebuchadnezzar had to say after God humbled him.

34. At the end of the seven time periods, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my mind came back to me. I thanked the Most High, and I praised and honored the one who lives forever, because his power lasts forever and his kingdom lasts from one generation to the next. 35 Everyone who lives on earth is nothing compared to him. He does whatever he wishes with the army of heaven and with those who live on earth. There is no one who can oppose him or ask him, “What are you doing?”
