Obama wants to change our constitution so that our 'constitutional rights' are replaced by those 'granted by the state'
Topics: Political News and commentariesYesterday the Obama campaign called on University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein to attempt to spin Obama's advocacy of "redistributive change" and overcoming of the Constitution's "negative rights" (Obama-speak for his criticism or our rights given to us by the founding fathers of our great country) in his 2001 radio interview . It turns out that he picked a "new intellectual champion of absolutism" who advances "the radical notion that all rights -- including rights usually held to be 'against' the state, such as the right to freedom of speech and the right not to be arbitrarily imprisoned or tortured -- are grants from the state":
The debate on the left, alluded to in Obama's remarks and addressed in Sunstein's book, has been whether Congress or the courts should promulgate the welfare state agenda. Three years ago Sunstein et al. modestly posited the fulfillment of their welfare state dreams in 2020. With left-wing Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, and with Obama's ascendance, it looks like the future is now..

Listen up Christians and Churches alike Obama is going to turn his back on Israel. That is against GOD we cannot turn our back on Israel. Revelation is unfolding right before your eyes and the sad thing is many of you cannot see it. Many in the last days will be fooled even the elect.
