President Obama's Unprecedented Agenda

Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first
time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The
hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is
without equal from any previous American president.

April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they
“cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who
aren't like them.”

February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection
for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities
that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in
February 2011.

a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name be covered when he is making his
speech.

May 2009 – Obama declines to host services for the National Prayer Day
(a day established by federal law) at the White House.

pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life

“the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an
omission he has made on no less than seven occasions.

pluribus unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal
law.

January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI
Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme
Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand,
but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be
transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be
re-erected as ordered by the Court.

February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for
more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom
ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution
across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the
public and from Congress.

April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges
passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring
protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to
hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of
their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.

August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care
rules that override religious conscience protections for medical
workers in the areas of abortion and contraception.

Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial.

Biblical faith:

God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery.

August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to

notifying airmen of programs and services available to them from
chaplains.
