Justin's Political Corner

On AFA’s “Today’s Issues” program this morning, host Tim Wildmon interviewed Phyllis Schlafly about her new book “No Higher Power: Obama’s War on Religious Freedom,” which seems to basically be a catalog of the Religious Right’s various complaints and allegations about President Obama’s supposed hatred of Christianity and Christian values.

During the discussion, Schlafly and Wildmon falsely claimed that Obama removed the word “Creator” whenever he quotes from the Declaration of Independence and that he was the only President in history not to celebrate the National Day of Prayer before Schlafly speculated that Obama might eventually order the removal of all the crosses from Arlington Memorial Cemetery.

As we have noted before, Obama has included the word “Creator” when citing the Declaration dozens of times, so Schlafly is flat-out wrong.
