Barack Obama misquotes the Declaration of Independence, leaving out the words "by their Creator" as the Source of humanity's "certain inalienable rights."And once wasn't enough. The president has done so twice.
More recently the President committed another major faux pas in a speech, telling an Indonesian audience that the motto of the United States was E Pluribus Unum, or "Out of Many, One."
It's not. The motto of the U.S. is "In God We Trust."
Mere mistakes? Even if they were that, it's awfully serious. After all, this is 4th grade stuff, hardly the kind of thing that a Harvard graduate should miss in a prepared, heavily vetted, teleprompter speech!
Notice also that there have been no apologies after these whopper mistakes either.
All of which makes one wonder, especially given Obama's repeated insistence that the United States is not a Christian nation, if these mistakes are not part of a planned campaign -- one to cast America as the kind of secular nation that Barack Obama would prefer.
Given Obama's bizarre personal approach to Christianity...an approach that includes: 1) his deep emotional attachment to the Islam of his youth, 2) his close alignment for 20 years with a radical, race-oriented, liberation theology, 3) his habit of publicly praising Islam and other non-Christian religions while ignoring the opportunities to extol the virtues and cultural achievements of Christianity, 4) a White House lifestyle in which church attendance, Christian fellowship and adherence to central Christian doctrines of marriage, sanctity of life, and religious freedom are woefully disregarded and, 5) his administration's coercive actions against the freedom of Christian conscience on matters of abortion, fetal experimentation, marriage, sexual morals, and so on...a citizen cannot help but worry that President Obama's "religious mistakes" may be something much more deliberate, much more underhanded, and much more sinister.
