Obama Edits the Declaration of Independence By Peter J. Colosi

President Obama has taken to referencing the language of the Declaration of Independence while omitting key words. Although the practice has garnered attention of late, it dates back to the beginning of his presidency.

An October 19 article at CNSnews by Penny Star noted that "For the second time in little over a month, President Barack Obama stripped the word 'Creator' from the Declaration of Independence when giving a speech." These speeches have generated much debate concerning whether the president's omissions were deliberate or mistaken.

This is no oversight or misspeak. This is calculated to the core.

It was more than two times, this is apparently a standard part of the stump speech he has been giving.

He does this with malice of forethought. This man has to be removed from office. I wish the Supremes would get to work on his unconstitutional edicts and revoke them and oust him in the bargain.

If this were not so serious, this would be amusing.

Yes. This is deliberate revisionism.

This is what happens when you have a public “educational” institution in place which seeks to undermine our Constitution and God given liberty. After decades of reeducation and indoctrination, the average American can’t even recognize the Marxist propaganda.

Obama can get away with these kinds of actions because of this:

Communist Goals (1963)

Documention below

Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35

January 10, 1963

Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:

[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Command and Control by Fiat.

The new separation of Church and State.

Obammunism = Islamo-Fascism and Marxism

What more proof does America need; although unlike Kennedy no one will care regarding his just-desserts. Except for Racists, Race-Mongers, sneaks, cheats and liars!

This has been done four times now.

It is not a mistake it is not an oversight, it is just the words “ by their Creator” stick in his throat.

You could see it in his first speech when he pursed his lips and looked sour and angry when he came to those three words.

American thinker has a really great article about this–I have blogged about it before–so I am going to quote the article at length since I think they said it better than I can.

It is my understanding that this is four times now that he has removed the words “by their Creator” in the Declaration of Independence. Why? Could it be because he is a liar and a Muslim and a socialist and communist and an acorn?

I was stunned the first time I heard this, it is truly amazing. Isn’t this guy supposed to be some fake constitutional law professor from the University of Chicago, where I read that they completely rejected his efforts to get in the first time that were commanded by people higher up to place him in some capacity so that his resume look better? Well, it worked, didn’t it? His resume did look a lot better didn’t it?

Before the elections, didn’t you, just like me, think that an ex-professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago must be a really great thing, really smart person? I know I certainly thought that. So, you think he doesn’t know the opening words of the Declaration of Independence?

Do you think he is doing it on purpose?

Absolutely and positively he is doing it on purpose, since he has done it four times now. He likes to quote the Declaration of Independence during his stump speeches behaves to say the words “by their Creator”. You know, it sticks in his craw–he just can’t get them out can he?

Amazing.

The decline and fall of the American Republic.

Here is a short excerpt from the American thinker article I mentioned in the beginning of my post and then nearly forgot about:

An October 19 article at CNSnews by Penny Star noted that “For the second time in little over a month, President Barack Obama stripped the word ‘Creator’ from the Declaration of Independence when giving a speech.” These speeches have generated much debate concerning whether the president’s omissions were deliberate or mistaken.

President Obama has taken to referencing the language of the Declaration of Independence while omitting key words. Although the practice has garnered attention of late, it dates back to the beginning of his presidency.

Immortal words to remember:

“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.”

Definitely not a misspeak.

Its shows what a hater he is and what a moron. I think it just kills him that he can't scream his contempt for this country at the top of his lungs. He thinks he's doing a good job of concealing his true nature but the cloven hoof, pitch fork, and brimstone leak out from time to time.

This man has to be removed from office.

We have got to get him out. He is a socialist, and he means to make our country into a soctalist country by stealthily weakening private enterptise and is well on the way with takeover of auto companies and bailouts. Wehave got to educate all our people as to how poor we will all be under socialism. read Stanley Kurtz new book "Radical In Chief" to learn how deliberate Obama's actions are to gradually establish socialism. We have got to explain to our citizens how nasty life would be under socialism.

Americans are the biggest fools in history. They listen to the state controlled media hammer them 24/7, repeating certain lies over and over until they are considered "facts."

In the 9/11 hearings, Jamie Gorelick was a key plant who controlled much of the investigation that buried key information. If you look at almost any story published by the NY TIMES, they will say repeatedly that Iraq was NOT involved in the WTC attacks. That is one of the key lies told to protect significant lies told to you.

Surely the fact that we invaded Iraq after 9/11 smells to you but you have bought that Iraq was NOT involved in the WTC attacks. Bush was in a quandary, expose Clinton's lies about certain terrorist attacks and the whole house of cards come tumbling down or lie.

They chose to lie and hide under WMD cover. That should have smelled to you also.

The truth is right in front of you but if I laid it out, you wouldn't believe me; the brain washing has been that effective.

Well, yeah. Duh.
What else would one expect from the Antichrist.

I bet he doesn't cast a reflection in mirrors either!

Barry has a very long long way to go to even enter the history books in the list of potential Antichrists.

Every generation has their "Antichrist". Do you really think that Barry has even come close to the level of mayhem as Nero, Vlad III, Lincoln, Ivan IV, Robespierre, Stalin, Hitler or Mao?

So far, he has only eclipsed Carter.

Besides, it is the "spirit" of antichrist that John is talking about.
