I am absolutely, positively sure that my rights and status are inalienable (or unalienable, if you will) as stated in the opening paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

I am OK with the notion that said inalienable rights are endowed by a Creator, as opposed to endowed by Barack, or Nancy or Harry or any number of insane statists who now hold some kind of power in Washington DC.

Every totalitarian regime in history has wanted, above all else, to dictate and place limits on the notion of rights that inhere in the individual.

Twice in the past year, Barack Obama has cited the Declaration of Independence and left out the phrase “endowed by our Creator”.

It is ugly and subversive that a United States President would cite our founding documents and intentionally omit a key phrase.
