MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Obama makes no mention of giving thanks to, let alone acknowledge, the God of Jews and Christians during Thanksgiving, yet had no problem revering Muslim’s devotion to “God” during Ramadan, had no problem praising Islam’s so-called role in “advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings” and had no problem rewriting history in stating how Islam “has always been a part of America”, ignoring the fact that the few who eventually came to America of their own free will came precisely because of the undeniable reality that predominantly Muslim countries were anything but just, progressive, tolerant or respectful of human life.  It must really get under his thin skin that the vast, overwhelming majority of America’s pilgrims were Christian …

By Todd Starnes – “President Obama did not include any reference to God during his weekly address titled, ‘On Thanksgiving, Grateful for the Men and Women Who Defend Our Country.’

His remarks were void of any religious references although Thanksgiving is a holiday traditionally steeped in giving thanks and praise to God.

The president said his family was ‘reflecting on how truly lucky we truly are.’

For many Americans, though, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on how blessed and thankful they are.

The president said the ‘most American of blessings’ is the ‘chance to determine our own destiny.’

He called the very first Thanksgiving a ‘celebration of community’.

‘We’re also grateful for the Americans who are taking time out of their holiday to serve in soup kitchens and shelters, making sure their neighbors have a hot meal and a place to stay,’ he said. ‘This sense of mutual responsibility – the idea that I am my brother’s keeper; that I am my sister’s keeper – has always been a part of what makes our country special.’

The president said that belief is ‘one of the reasons the Thanksgiving tradition has endured.’

But nowhere in the 11-paragraph address does he mention the Almighty.

Instead, he references the Civil War, two World Wars, and the Great Depression – noting that ‘Americans drew strength from each other.’

However, President Abraham Lincoln said the nation drew its strength from God. He declared as much in his 1863 Thanksgiving Day proclamation:

‘I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to his tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union.’

President Obama told the nation in his address that if they support each other and look out for each other, ‘and remember that we’re all in this together, then I know that we too will overcome the challenges of our time.'” Read more.
