Obama calls for new declaration of independence
CNN ^ | Jan. 17, 2009 | CNN

Posted on 01/17/2009 1:51:17 PM PST by FocusNexus

He added, "And yet while our problems may be new, what is required to overcome them is not. What is required is the same perseverance and idealism that our founders displayed.

"What is required is a new declaration of independence, not just in our nation, but in our own lives -- from ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry -- an appeal not to our easy instincts but to our 'better angels,' " he said, using a phrase from President Abraham Lincoln's inaugural address in 1861.

Has anyone asked, “what are the Obama’s organizing for?”

“It’s clear that Obama recognizes the power that his email list, which boasts more than 13 million names, represents in American politics and is working to ensure it stays within the control of a small group who are charged with protecting the Obama brand.”

From this article:

Obama Announces “Organizing for America”

He meant to say “conservative” ideology, as I think he believes liberal ideology is the mandated status quo.

He’s probably organized the Gestapo and Brown Shirts to work within the DNC as well. Wonder where the MSM will fit into those plans?

The MSM seems to have forgotten that their Liberal God wasn’t elected by a landslide. Half this country didn’t vote for the future dictator of the USA. Where are those people now and how long will they stay quiet while their country and freedom is dismantled by the Liberal God, Pelosi, and Reid??????

Maybe we are headed for another Civil war. Or another war for Independence.

Quick - find a journalist to ask him, “Mr. Obama, how do you define ‘ideology’ and ‘small thinking’.” What is small thinking?

What is he talking about? Return to the idealism of 1776? Gladly! Government get out of my house, business, wallet.

Idealism of 1776 - We are FREE because God made us free. Is that what he means? Freedom of thoughts, ideas, worship? Free to keep what I earn?

This will be a long 4 years with Obama in the White House, Democrats in the congress, and no opposition from media, the courts, or Republicans.

How about a new Sermon on the Mount, messiah? How about New Ten Commandments, MOSama? Remember, this guy’s so good that it’s hard for comedy writers to come up with material for Letterman and Leno.

A new declaration of Independence from who ? what country ? this country has been free for over 200 years.
If we discard the declaration of Independence that was signed over 200 years ago... wouldn't we be the property of England again ?

Personally, I’d be satisfied if Florida declared its independence. So long as social security and medicare exist, though, I can’t see that happening. But the minute the Dems are forced to default on the social security and medicare promise, I suspect Florida will be the first to revolt.

I expect that all Patriots will be where they need to be: Condition 1. As for the MSM, they risk finding themselves in the same state of denial as were the newspapers of Lenin's time: "How can you do this to us? We supported you!"

So, the Mutt wants us to quit “ideology and small thinking, prejudice and bigotry.”

That’s because he thinks Americans are “bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment.”

Got news for you, ol’ chum - we don’t care what you think, unless it abridges our freedom, and then we care mightily.
