Obama drops "Creator" from Dec. of Independence, Progressives drop "God" from Gettysburg Address
Obama needs a refresher on his American History:

[link to www.wnd.com]

Snip:

"Obama told a meeting of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that the document states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

But the actual quotation is:

"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."


"..the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy was distributing copies of a pamphlet with the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address and the Constitution.

"..the booklet [and] read: "It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Wrote George, "Deeply moving – but…"

"Did you notice what had been omitted? What's missing is Lincoln's description of the United States as a nation under God. What Lincoln actually said at Gettysburg was: 'That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

He noted the "progressive" group, which has featured speakers including Al Gore, Joe Biden, Edward Kennedy, Barney Frank, Jesse Jackson, John Edwards, Gary Hart, Janet Reno and Eric Holder, must have found Lincoln's quotation "a little inconvenient."

Shit like this should compel the people to revolt against our disgusting govt.
Push the button light the match,
Feel the fault lines detach;
Crosshairs in the evening light,
I sit and watch the city burn tonight.

OMG, it finally makes sense!

He's been working from the cliff notes all these years. You know, they get the general idea of something, but they always miss important bits and can never capture the spirit.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill

A great start would be to stop calling it "our gov"... to paraphrase you.

The most authoritative drafts of the speech do not include "under God":
