Obama omitted the one tenet in the Declaration that makes us Americans, and distinguishes us from every other nation on earth. [Link to that speech is at the end of this post]
The phrase Obama left out...?
"...endowed by our Creator ..."
It is the most important, the most critical phrase.
Was the omission deliberate? Of course it was. Leaving God out of the equation fits Obama's progressive narrative.
Prior to our founders' Declaration of Independence, most human beings were considered chattel, a select few thought to be "better" than others, i.e. of 'royal' lineage, etc. Hence, the King or other leader assumed ultimate power over his subjects, pontificating to the masses from his lofty throne.
According to Thomas Jefferson's deistic vision, in Natural Law, human rights are believed to be derived solely from our Creator (nature, the universe). To assert, as Jefferson did, that our rights as human beings were not only derived solely from our Creator and were considered inalienable, was heresy. To say the least it poked a deliberate finger in the eyes of the rest of the 18th century world.
Obama believes that as citizens of this country, his government is the purveyor of our rights. Others have shared Obama's belief in an all-powerful centralized bureaucracy. We arrived at this time and place through decades of tireless chipping away at the Constitution, and America's individual freedoms. The Obama election is the true culmination of one hundred years of stealth progressivsim by generations of people dedicated to the notion that they are entitled to dictate how, when, and where we shall live our lives.
No one sums it up better than Jason McNew at American Thinker.com. Mr. McNew ended his recent article (referenced below) with this:
"When We The People allow the government to grant us "rights" such as health care or education, we are now making the government the purveyor of our rights, instead of our Creator.
If you think this is okay, you are a fool and there is a box car or relocation camp waiting for you or your descendants someday."

Amen, Jason, amen.
