Our nation has chosen a man to lead us who now calls the sacred words of our Founding Fathers - OUR CREED. He has reduced the text of one of the most liberating documents presented to mankind in the history of the world into 'our creed'. Today in his address, BHO took these words of the Declaration of Independence and called them - our creed. He calls this: 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, our creed. And he calls our Founding Fathers, our forebears. No respect for these words or the courageous men - no there were no women - who penned them.
Plus, to promote his agenda, Barrack Hussein Obama did not present the frame in which these words hang; the other words of the document -
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a
decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should
declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
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, --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 phrase, 'We hold these truths...' is but a part of a clause
preceding a list of grievances being sent to the King of England for
which every signer of that Document put his life, his fortune and his
sacred honor on the line. Had the War for Independence from England been lost, each would have lost his life. It is these men he simply calls, our forebears. These men were instituting a new government boldly and by proclamation. They were in revolt against the most powerful government on the planet and they took a stand for something more than just that one phrase. They did not create a creed for this nation, they built a force - a declaration - for freedom.
BHO's words at the Inauguration today, January 21, 2013:
Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States
Congress, distinguished;guests, and fellow citizens:
Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring
strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two
centuries ago: “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.”
Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time. For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God,it must be secured by His people here on Earth.
The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob.hey gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by,and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.
Read the whole thing here. Then, realize that right after taking his oath he sends out an email on behalf of his newly-converted permanent campaign platform, Organizing for Action. Breitbart has that.
Obama has taken the money he had left over from his re-election campaign machine, Obama for America, and turned it into a 501(c)4 lobbying group,Organizing for Action. In an email he says:
Benjamin --I just renewed my oath of office to serve as your president for four more years. Thank you for making this possible. It's an honor to be your president.Now it's time to finish what we started -- let's get going. Barack
What is he finishing? The Organizing for America website says this-
I'm Jon Carson, the new executive director of Organizing for Action.
I hope you're as excited as I am for this new organization, and for
what our grassroots movement can accomplish in the next four years.
Just a little bit about me. I'm a Wisconsin guy, and I grew up on a
farm in the western part of the state. In 2007, I joined Barack Obama's
campaign and served as the national field director. After the election, I
went to work for the President in the White House, most recently in the
Office of Public Engagement.
That brings me to now, when very soon, my family and I will be moving back to Chicago as I start this new role with all of you.
I first joined the President's campaign because I was inspired by his
belief that ordinary people have the power to change our country if we
work together to get it done—and that belief will be at the core of this
new organization as it unfolds.
And the way we'll get it done can be summed up in one word: local.
That means each city or region will have its own OFA chapter, and
you'll decide the issues your community cares about most, the work you
want to do to make progress on them, and the kind of support you'll need
to get it done.
At a neighborhood and regional level, OFA members will grow their
local chapters, bringing in new leaders and helping train a new
generation of volunteers and organizers to help fight for the issues at
stake.
There'll be times when we pull together at the national level to get
President Obama's back on passing major legislation, like reducing gun
violence or immigration reform. And we'll all work to help transform
Washington from the outside while strengthening our economy and creating
jobs.
But for the most part, the direction our work takes will be
completely in your hands—with the support of this organization behind
you every step of the way.
In the next few weeks and months, I'll be asking for your input on
putting together an OFA plan for 2013, we'll be holding online briefings
about the issues we want to tackle, and we'll start organizing on those
issues as they're debated in D.C.
But for right now, I just want to say thanks and welcome. There's a
lot to be done, without a doubt—and I couldn't be more thrilled to be
part of OFA with you.
Go ahead—say you're in.
I'll be in touch soon.
Go to the site, www.barackobama.com and read it for yourself.
So, this is what the OFA was doing yesterday. Thousands of them:
THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN LEGACY CONFERENCE: JANUARY 20, 2013
On the day before President Obama's second
inauguration, thousands of Obama staff and volunteers are coming
together online and offline to talk about the future of our movement.
Check back for the latest updates from the conference, and use the menu
to the left to find out more about what’s next and how you can get
involved in your community.
And below is what they did today.
Just moments ago I read this on the Barack Obama WEBSITE. The words are fundamentally different than what the Declaration says or what he said in his speech. He is duplicitous from the moment of his coronation. He says one thing to the world - we are all created equal - and on his website which only the fawning fans see he reveals his truth that we are to call 'the truth.' He says that we declare today the most evident of truths that all of us are created equals - men, women, girls, gays, immigrants not here in America yet - all of us equals. Comrades, one and all.
We, the people, declare today that the most evident of
truths—that all of us are created equals—the star that guides us still;
just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and
Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung,
who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that
we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual
freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.
It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers
began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and
daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not
complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else
under the law for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love
we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not
complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the
right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to
welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a
land of opportunity until bright young students and engineers are
enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our
journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of
Detroit to the hills of Appalachia, to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know
that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm.
Let us, each of us, now embrace with solemn duty and awesome joy what
is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with
passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history and carry into
an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.
—President Obama, January 21st, 2013
He is doing what he promised 4 years ago - fundamentally transforming our nation. He is bent on making us all - equals - all except his chosen few. And what are we to do? Pray. Know that we are called, as Christians, to be here at this time, for this job. And, we need to go to every one of the OFA meetings that is held. We need to know the truth. We need to fight for real truth. We need to know what freedom is and help our children to understand how it is taken from us in the form of 'equality.'
But perhaps our first step is to read and understand the Declaration of Independence and then to make our list of grievances known.
The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription
IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
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,
--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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and
to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the
patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity
which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The
history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment
of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be
submitted to a candid world:
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should
be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large
districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of
Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records,
for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause
others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of
Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise;
the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that
purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing
to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of
Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to
their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders
which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring
Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging
its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument
for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to
compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with
circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas
to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their
friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian
Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We
have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of
the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in
War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America,
in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and
declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free
and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to
the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and
the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and
that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War,
conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all
other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for
the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection
of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
