“For the sake of our Freedom , and for the sake of our children, we are going to work, we are going to fight and we are going to win, win, win. “We will not bend, we will not break, we will never give in, we will never give up, we will never back down, we will never surrender and we will always fight on to victory. Always. “Because we are American and our hearts bleed red white and blue. We are one people, one family and one glorious nation under God.”For eight long years before Trump arrived at the White House, God Almighty—and even any mention of His Holy Name—was conspicuously missing from the Public Square. “God Bless America” were words rarely heard during the pitch dark Barack Obama administration. In fact, one of the last times the words were invoked was on August 26, 2013 when Obama openly stated: “God Bless Planned Parenthood” at a PP Conference at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, in Washington, D.C. To the world’s largest and richest abortion provider, Obama proclaimed in a ringing voice without any of his signature stutters: “Thank you, Planned Parenthood. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you.”
“Of religion's ability to inspire both compassion and murder, the President said: "Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. "And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. "In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ."At a Sunday San Francisco fundraiser in 2008, Obama made an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that he said wouldn’t be appreciated by some of the people whose votes he was seeking: (Politico, April 11, 2008)
“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. “And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
