National
Park Service removes God from Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation
These days,
it seems to be getting more and more difficult to know what information
you can
trust, especially with the main stream media and many web sites on the
internet.
If you expected that federal government web sites that exhibit our
founding history,
documents and historical sites immune from revision or omission, you
would be
wrong. In our politically correct, secular, anti-God society today,
nothing it
seems is off limits. Not even Lincoln’s
Proclamation establishing the last Thursday of November as a day of
thanksgiving is immune from revision.
Revising, and sanitizing, American
history, by removing God is nothing new; it has been going on in the
public
school system for two or three generations. So too has this been
happening to many of
our important national documents, and historical sites, as well. A
number of
books like The Rewriting of
American’s
History and other books document expunging God from our
national
history. The
same has been observed, and documented, with many of our historical
sites as
well. Examples are too numerous to mention. One such example I ran into
today
that prompted this piece was the National Park Service's webs site,
listing
Abraham
Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.
One of the most common
“omissions” in documents on
many federal and state web sites is to remove the last paragraph or
words “in
the year of our Lord …” Another is to post only a
portion of the document or
letter thus, removing the religious portion. And yet another is to make
the
document harder to find, or in rare cases, removing the document
altogether. Below
is an example from the National Park Service web site of Abraham
Lincoln’s Thanksgiving
Day Proclamation. Omitted from Lincoln’s
October 3, 1863, Thanksgiving Day Proclamation is in the last paragraph
of the
text, “Done at the city of Washington,
this third day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred
and sixty-three, and of the independence of the United States
the eighty-eighth.” - Link
to National Park Service Web Site
Phrases like, “in the year
of our Lord,” not only define the religious nature of our
country’s founding,
they show that our calendar is dated to the birth of Jesus Christ. This
is why
it is often removed from many historical documents. To post only the
non religious
portion, omit, hide or remove relevant historical documents is at a
minimum dishonest,
and depending on intent, immoral. It robs the unsuspecting reader of an
understanding of their nation’s heritage, as well as a skewed
view of their
country’s true history. While one cannot say that was the
intent of National
Park Service when they removed or omitted the last paragraph of Lincoln’s
Proclamation, the result is the same, historical documents have been
modified
with God removed.
