Gettysburg Address
I love that saying, but tell me, what official document of these united states says those words Lincoln spoke?
Much like the declaration of independence, might give us a moral direction, but doesn't mean a damned thing in law.
Lincoln suspended the rule of law, nationalized entire industry and pissed all over the constitution during his term. He isn't a conservative hero by any means. Lincolns sins echo in our abusive, overbearing government today.
Sheesh read your own article. In a video produced and paid for by the Charlotte in 2012 Convention Host Committee, former NC governor Jim Hunt says "Government’s the only thing that we all belong to."
I never read websites people want you to click on, but I wondered if anyone else noticed this difference in the candidates during the debates. Obama really thinks the government is the power. I say, "of the people, by the people and for the people." We should never think of the government as the source of our happiness. God should be the source of our happiness if we are Christian.
Watch the next debate and listen to what Obama really says. This could be why he thinks the government should be controlling who gets medical care and how much and who is allowed to eat what they want. The only thing our government is supposed to do for us is keep us safe from others who want to harm us. It does not need to be starving football players in the school lunch line or telling parents what they can send to school for their children to eat for lunch. I am looking forward to a law suit on this issue. Government keep your hands out of the mouths of our children.
Wow. Not just the poster, but the speakers in the article isolate one phrase and paint it on not just the president (who DIDN'T say that, BTW), but all democrats. Both sides play these silly games. It makes it hard to respect them.

Did you not bother looking at your own link contents before making this claim by accident, or are you a liar purposely trying to deceive others in this forum with your thread title?
This is exactly what Christie said:
Christie's remarks
Here’s what the governor said about watching the Democratic National Convention:
"I watched it and I didn’t find a whole lot noteworthy about it, except for this: the Democratic National Convention, this is what they said about what Democrats believe. They said, ‘Government is the only thing we all belong to.’
Now I want you to listen to that again. I’m gonna say it slowly. I want you to listen to it again. This is what the Democrats under Barack Obama believe: ‘Government is the only thing we all belong to.’
You see, I don’t know. I’m never the smartest person in the room. It’s a great relief, not only to me, but to all of you as well. I’m never the smartest person in the room, and I never got the best grades in school. But this much I understood from my history lessons, that we didn’t belong to the government. The government belongs to us.
You see, you see, the Constitution doesn’t start by saying, ‘We the government,’ does it? It says, ‘We the people.’ All power and authority emanates from the people, and that power and authority, which through that document and our other laws we delegate to the government is the power and authority they have. They belong to us.
You see, that’s what we believed from the founding of our country, but Barack Obama believes something very, very different. He absolutely believes we belong to him. He believes that we are just pawns to be moved around his giant chessboard of government. He’s gonna pick the winners and the losers."
Semantics. Obama believes it, it was Obama's convention. Christie reminds those in denial about Obama's agenda.
