Obama Bashes Declaration of Independence at Start of His Train Tour
.
Barack Hussein Obama starts his train trip in Philly with a speech In Philadelphia.
.
Partial text:
"We are here to mark the beginning of our journey to Washington. This is fitting because it was here, in this city, that our American journey began. It was here that a group of farmers and lawyers, merchants and soldiers, gathered to declare their independence and lay claim to a destiny that they were being denied.
It was a risky thing, meeting as they did in that summer of 1776. There was no guarantee that their fragile experiment would find success. More than once in those early years did the odds seem insurmountable. More than once did the fishermen, laborers and craftsmen who called themselves an army face the prospect of defeat.
And yet, they were willing to put all they were and all they had on the line — their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor — for a set of ideals that continue to light the world. That we are equal. That our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness come not from our laws, but from our maker. And that a government of, by and for the people can endure. It was these ideals that led us to declare independence and craft our constitution, producing documents that were imperfect but had within them, like our nation itself, the capacity to be made more perfect.
We are here today not simply to pay tribute to our first patriots but to take up the work that they began. The trials we face are very different now, but severe in their own right. Only a handful of times in our history has a generation been confronted with challenges so vast. An economy that is faltering. Two wars, one that needs to be ended responsibly, one that needs to be waged wisely. A planet that is warming from our unsustainable dependence on oil.
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."
But Obama’s “new Declaration of Independence” does not need God and does not want Him. Let us simply call it what it is: the Declaration of Independence from God, or - better yet - the “God Damn America Declaration of Independence.”
"We can also realize that the Declaration of Independence that Obama now wants to replace also implies another reality: the reality that a government that replaces God is a tyrannous institution.
You can understand why Obama - who fundamentally believes that ONLY government can save us, and who passionately believes that a gigantic government bureaucracy that intrudes into absolutely every aspect of our lives - would want to see that “old” Declaration of Independence as well as the “old” America itself go the way of the dinosaur."

Wild Thing's comment.........
Dear God please know half of our country did not vote for this person. We love America and are sickened by what is happening.
Obama wants to abandon everything that our Nation was founded upon. He has a lot of nerve to say what he calling the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence “documents that were imperfect but had within them, like our nation itself, the capacity to be made more perfect.”...... but he keeps telling us this over and over how he loaths and disrespects our Constitution and all our documents that we have.
This is yet another speech he made, not yesterday but back in March 18th of 2008 and yes once again in Philadelphia, PA at Constitution Center.
It is called 'A More Perfect Union'
Check this one out as well , the very opener of the video he is trashing our Constitution. He says it is stained!!!!
"PHILADELPHIA - "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union."
"Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787.
The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the convention to a stalemate until the founders chose to allow the slave trade to continue for at least twenty more years, and to leave any final resolution to future generations. "

I'm hoping he was using that as an analogy, but knowing him, he probably wasn't! A new Declaration?
I don't think so.
What else could you put into it? It is a living, breathing document of history. It means the world to so many of us and to allow someone to rewrite it, reword it, mess with it is simply not tolerable.
Jefferson meant every word he wrote. Obamanation is NO Jefferson.
We gave Elly a copy of the Declaration, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights for Christmas this year. She cherishes them.

And the current raft of politicians is seeking to deny us once again and we must stand vigilant against them and keep bringing attention to their attempts to usurp our freedom. NWO, I say No Way.

"In order to form a more perfect union." It means that our Founding Fathers formed a Republican government to help hold the states together something the Articles of Confederation was all but incapable of doing. The Constitution is a document that yes can be amended but only for preserving Liberty and laws are made by congress should only be for preserving liberty as well. If ANYONE say that anything in our government is moving too slow that is a GOOD thing. Contrary to Popular belief not all of our Founding Fathers Were Best of friends, in fact some couldn't stand each other. The best example of this would be Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. Getting back to the original point though, when the Constitution was being writtenFounders like James Madison and the Federalist didn't think the bill of rights was nescessary but Thomas Jefferson and the Anti-Federalists disagreed and so the Bill of Rights was added and Thank God it was. Even the Declaration of Independence was debated over because of the large number of loyalists in certain colonies. He needs a Crash Course in U.S. History. I hope people get pissed off real soon so nothing can get done. Thats our government at its finest accomplishing nothing unless it protecs Liberty. That leaves the people free to advance American Society as WE see fit.
By the Way if someone asks why there are two clauses in the Second Amendment. I have figured it out.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Second Amendment to the United States Constitution
At a glance it may look like two separate clauses but if that were true then why didn't they write two sentences? It's because The Militia and the Individual are one in the same. Let's take a closer look piece by piece. "A Well Regulated Militia." This may lead sme to think of the National Guard or any other "State" or government funded militia. This is only partially true The National Guard is a Militia Given to the States and put under the discretion of their Governors. A militia by definition is a military force of Armed Citizens. A group of armed citizens that can be formed on the spot and repel any force whether it be a federal force coming to usurp power and Liberty or a foreign army coming to occupy. The "militia" has no affiliation with any government. Next for the "Security of a free State" State does not just mean the individual states themselves a State by definition is a separate sovereign entity. So the Country itself is a "Free State" and in order for a people's militia to assemble to protect the Free State the whole thing rests upon the INDIVIDUAL thus leading to "The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed." The militia is actually the second thought here. The Militia cannot assemble to take up arms to protect the Security of the Free State unless The People have their own Individual Right to Keep and Bear their own Firearms for their own Self-Protection.

There you go again Wild Thing with that 'P' word - Philadelphia! I tell my nemesis Filthadelphia Fleagles fans that George Washington had to beat foot out of there before the Red Coats OCCUPIED that city during the Revolution... and their WOMEN! No resistance in Philly, eh? And Rocky Balboa LOST his fight there to Apollo Creed?

Obama will soon have all of us subjects of the government carrying his version of Mao's little Red Book.

Tom, I'll set fire to whatever red propaganda lucife... oops obama will try to shove on me, that's why God gave us the BBQ Pit. Ya know I'd like to see damie... I mean obama and his black panthers try to push his agenda in say; Vidor, Texas. I'm told they keep the "Whites Only" signs just to send a message. It's still a Sundown Town and they wouldn't make it out. It's really screwed up and I stay away from that place.

I repeat a comment that I made after the election of November 4, 2008. For the first time in my adult life I was not proud of my country. On January 20, 2009 I will mourn for the former United States of America. The people have spoken and the country will never be what the founders intended it to be, and it was, ever again.

He may as well have said the end of the free world as we know it.

I heard that speech yesterday on TV -- the entire speech. I noticed the bolded portion in the transcript in this post.
Put it together with what BHO has previously said, and get the full picture of this incoming President who intends to remake our nation. Into what image? That or reparations and Communism (aka "redistribution of wealth") as far as I can discern.
I fear for the future of the nation which our Founders fought and died for!

Lynn, that is so neat that you gave that to Elly.
I agree Lynn, it is not something I would mess with, it has been good for our country, made us what we have been and should never be re-written. His ego is so huge I think that is a part of why he thinks like this changing it too. He sure wants to be some kind of king or godlike person. No one will ever be godlike there is only one God.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 07:29 PM
Bob A., I agree I say no way too.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 07:42 PM
JohnE PFC U.S. Army, that is awesome, thank you so much for that about the Militia.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 07:45 PM
Darth, LOL yesss the "P" word.
I noticed how Obama seems to pick that city to do his most backstabbing of our Constitution. I think they should ban him for entering that city and then maybe that will shut him about about making changes like he said.

JohnE PFC U.S. Army, thanks for those links I appreciate it.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 07:50 PM
Tom, yes soon they will all be in place. He must be making Soros etc. very happy. waaaaa
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 07:52 PM
Seane-Anna, he sure does. Thanks for stopping by.

Les, yes it will be a day of mourning that's for sure. Thanks for the images too.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 08:03 PM
Jack, those links say it all. That is what is happening.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 08:05 PM
Mark, yes, I wonder if someone stood up in his audience and yelled that out to him.... naw, they would probably be arrested or something. But that is what should have been said out loud so the crowd could hear it loud and clear.
Posted by: Wild Thing at January 18, 2009 08:07 PM
Always on Watch, that is great that you did that. I am so glad, yes it all needs to be repeated what he has said on this same topic. He keeps saying it over and over in different ways in various speeches.
That one like you mentioned the "redistribution of wealth" that really freaked me out.
