Obama omits 'under god' in ken burns Gettysburg address

[bodecea]

because he's not a "clinger" like you rw'ers generally are? 1 in 5 people are Atheists now asswipe. Deal w/ it

Stop that lie now. Being skeptical or free thinking or agnostic is not atheistic.

Atheists make up less than 5% of the population.

The Gettysburg Address is not an editorial comment. It says what it says, and pandering to atheists by changing the address should be a criminal offense.

In a Theocracy like Iran....I'm sure it would be.

What do you expect from a fucking Atheist

 

[Stephanie]

The Obama's are godless people...so of course he would leave it out

He shows his hate and contempt for us and our country when he does this

He make's me ill, Why anyone would of voted for this man is beyond me....

 

[bodecea]

Again, look at how bent out of shape so-called christians are about this. No doubt, given the chance, they'd make not mentioning their god a criminal offense. Then we'd be just like the country they most admire.....Iran.

Ever occur to any of you nutcases Obama was reading the DRAFT version of the Gettysburg Address?

How many of you knew there were different versions of the GA?

http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/...gettysburg.htm

Compare the above version of the FIRST DRAFT (the "Nickolay version" )- with what Obama read -- and tell us what version he was reading.
=======================
Nicolay Copy

Named for John G. Nicolay, President Lincoln's personal secretary, this is considered the "first draft" of the speech, begun in Washington on White house stationery. The second page is written on different paper stock, indicating it was finished in Gettysburg before the cemetery dedication began. Lincoln gave this draft to Nicolay, who went to Gettysburg with Lincoln and witnessed the speech. The Library of Congress owns this manuscript.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.”
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do.


But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow, this ground – The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.



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 the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Nah. That would be reasonable. Reactionaries aren't reasonable/.

Maybe they can make this an impeachable offense.

Why would they have him read a different version than everyone else?

IS that the case? And have you asked THEM?

 

[paperview]

Why would they have him read a different version than everyone else?

It's bizarre, isn't it?

I mean that the great historical documentarian would use this occasion to educate people on the differing versions of the that most famous speech.

Boggles the mind, donut?

Just when I think this man can't surprise me anymore, BAM!!!!!!!!!!Obama does it again.



WASHINGTON -- One nation under God? Under President Obama, maybe not so much.

As first reported on WMAL's Chris Plante Show Tuesday, the Commander-in-Chief joined a cast of 61 other noted lawmakers, politicians, news anchors and celebrities, including every living President, in reciting the Gettysburg Address, which President Abraham Lincoln delivered on November 19, 1863.

The dignitaries all delivered the address as Lincoln had written it, including the phrase, "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom." (Click to listen).

Curiously, however, in his version of the address, President Obama omitted the words "under God."

You can see the President's reading of the Gettysburg speech here - his omission is at the 1:35 mark.

Obama read Nicolay's (Lincoln's personal secretary) copy of the address.

 

[novasteve]

Why not read the version that everyone else read , which is the one Lincoln read and is on the Lincoln memorial

 

[ClosedCaption]

musta gotten the talking points too.

 

[whitehall]

Didn't he think anyone would notice? Is Hussein's perverted sense of political correctness so strong that he would intentionally leave out words of the most famous speech in history because it might offend his agnostic base? If so the guy is a hopeless ignorant creep.

You know, I don't have a problem with O's atheism but I do have a problem with him pushing it on others, and in the most manipulative and secretive way, in which he is doing that and everything else to undermine America's traditions in favor of all things, Muslim.

Geez, Obama is a Christian. For anyone claiming that he isn't, it is just willful ignorance, for Christians saying it, it is a sign of not following the Christian teachings, you don't get to decide who is and who isn't a Christian.

Romans 12:
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in Action

9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Apparently you didn't notice Obama read the Nicolay copy, the second half of which you have your panties in a twist about was written on the grounds of Gettysburg. It is quite likely that is the one Lincoln actually read for his speech.

Do you think it might be possible the documentarian had five celebrities read the five known copies?

Apparently YOU left out the rest of what Whitehall stated...WHY do you idiot libs do that? WHY don't YOU address his whole post?

Every person at the live reading of the event said Lincoln used the words, "Under God"

And Nicolay's copy is not recognized as the actual reading that took place that day.

Another FAIL from another dimocrap failure.
