March 30, 2007. Public domain federal band music accompanies video of We the People Foundation [givemeliberty.org] sponsored a “Right to Petition” Vigil with 50 plus “V for Vendetta” characters who came to say “Obey the Constitution or Else.” One protester showed to remind them — or else we’ll obey the Declaration of Independence’s urgings to “alter or abolish” government. Recognize the background music??

“Ismellarat — An Anti-Federalist Interpretation of American History”
is unique as an evangelical video production that challenges the U.S.
Constitution as a Christian document thesis held by many evangelical Christians. Produced by a team of Evangelicals, it seeks to prove that historical revisionism could be a more serious problem among Christian authors than among secularists.
<b>Baptized Federalism</b>
Readers of most contemporary authors on American Christian history are in for a shock. The video challenges almost everything they’ve been taught about the meaning of American history. The documentary takes issue with the “baptized Federalism” which is common to many of today’s “Christian America” authors. It asserts that too often strong Christians have allowed their patriotism to cloud their biblical discernment on this vital issue.
Approximately 31 minutes in run time, this DVD challenges the prevailing opinion among Christians that the United States Constitution represents the epitome of biblical civil government. It explores why Patrick Henry and other strong Christians of the founding era opposed ratification of the Constitution so vigorously.
The legendary Patrick Henry argued almost single-handedly against ratification for 23 days in the Virginia Ratifying Convention. Patrick Henry had better oratory, but Madison had better organization Many of his prophetic warnings have transpired: an imperial Supreme Court, two levels of oppressive taxation, a bloody civil war. Plus an expansionist interpretation of the General Welfare Clause and the so-called Elastic Clause.
The film reports why Patrick Henry rejected James Madison’s invitation to the Constitutional Convention itself with the pithy retort, “I smelt a rat.” It answers the question, What was the rat that Patrick Henry “smelt”? Includes interviews with radio personality Larry Pratt, Christian historian Dr. George Grant, and others.
<b>Christian Revisionism</b>
Historical revisionism could be a bigger problem among Evangelical Christians than among secular humanists. Here is evidence the film supplies for this assertion. Some of the telltale marks of Christian revisionism include….
1) Relying heavily on secondary evidence such as after-the-fact religious quotes and self-congratulatory statements by the founders and their Federalist cheerleaders.
2) Downplaying primary source documents, such as the “Federalist Papers” and “Notes From the Federal Convention,” which almost never refer to the Bible in their discussions of civil government. Then concluding that “the founders used the Bible as their great political textbook.”
3) Ignoring the strong Evangelical and anti-Federalist resistance to the Constitution, which existed at the time of ratification. Then “baptizing” the Constitution as the undisputed epitome of biblical civil government.
Thus, the video suggests that many contemporary “Christian America authors are in reality promoting a form of Christian historical revisionism.

I was just wondering, what are the main differences between the Canadian and American Constitutions and what are some common aspects as well. I am talking about in terms of human rights, fundamental freedoms and equality rights, which are Sections 2 and 15 and 33 of the Canadian Constitution.
Not constitution, but people can establish a democracy.
Dalip Singh Wasan, advocate.
We must accept that Constitution of a country is just a paper transaction and if in some parts of that constitution, it is declared that a particular country is a democracy, we should not believe in these lines in the Constitution, but we should have a look on the people of that country and then we shall be able to say whether the people have attained a democracy or they are still living life of slaves.
There are three recognized basics on which a democracy is established. It should be government of the people. It means the people should themselves elect the government and the people ruling them should not be rajas, maharajas, monarchs and the imperialists. There should not be a family rule, there should not be an autocracy or dictatorship of a particular party. There should not be a family rule. On each occasion only competent people are elected and they work as public servants. They should not act like rulers. They should be faithful, sincere and honest towards the people who have elected them and they should serve the people in letter and spirit and they should not be allowed to give to the people wrong and false hopes. The ministers must be elected by the people and while nominating their names, the political parties should show to the people the qualities available in that particular person which make him fit for a particular portfolio. The man should be honest and he should not be acting like rajas, maharaja or like an imperialist and he must not collect money from the people and from the state through bribes, through scams, scandals, muddles, sale of jobs, sale of licenses, sale of quotas etc. etc.
Secondly the people elected should be from amongst the people of that country and they should not a separate class in themselves. In most of the democracies the people elected are not nominees of the people. They are nominees of others and they are elected through votes of the people and that is the reason in all the democracies in the world, these nominees of other classes do not work for the welfare of the people with whose votes they have been elected. The people standing as candidates are not from the people, therefore, if such people are elected and they form a government, we should not call such a government a democracy. The people sitting in government chairs shall not work for the people and therefore, we can call such a government a government of a few, for a few or by a few.
When the people elected by the people are not their nominees, these people would not work for them. Therefore, it is for the people to establish a real democracy. Only a Constitution would not establish a democracy. Therefore, the people of a democracy have got higher responsibility. They must be vigilant that they are choosing right persons for right job and they are choosing an honest person. They must be having an eye on the people sitting on government seats and they must make it sure that they are not having money from the people. The people shall have to accept that they are the masters of that country and all these people who are sitting on government chairs are just public servants and therefore, it is the duty of the people to elect right people, give them right work and they must be able to have supervision on their work and conduct. If the masters are no vigilant and they are trusted all the work on the servants, such masters are liable to be condemned to insolvency. Where the people who are the real masters of a country are not vigilant, they shall suffer and they are liable to be condemned as insolvent.
The master must choose i.e. must have a proper selection and they must ensure that the people are trained or expert in the line which is being entrusted to them. When incompetent people sit on chair, inefficiency shall be the result and they shall bring all losses and the losses shall be suffered by the people who are the masters of the country.
Only educated people can establish a democracy. Where most of the people are illiterate, unemployed, poor, starving, they would not be able to establish a true democracy. They may be voters, but they would not attain the status of masters of that country. They may be designated as masters in the Constitution of that country, but it is just a satire on them.
We have noted that people who are coming to government seats are well aware that people must be kept illiterate and starving so that they may not be having an occasion to watch work and conduct of those who are sitting on government seats. Therefore, the people in power always try to keep the people illiterate, poor, houseless, starving so that they may be busy in establishing their minimums and they should not be having time to supervise work and conduct of those who are sitting on government chairs.
In most of the countries where paper type democracies have been established and they have drawn very good constitutions. But all these are paper transactions and the people are still slaves and they are not in a position to say that they are masters of that country. They are still standing before the people sitting in chairs as slaves. They are not being allowed top learn the art of becoming independent and democrats.

Cool, arent they?
This is Rep. Alan Grayson on MSNBC talking about the war in Afghanistan and Barack Obama.
In this troubleshooters report: A Pender County man who refuses to get a license plate, registration, or insurance on his truck. Donald Sullivan says the Constitution gives us the right to travel the public highways, and he shouldn’t be charged or regulated for simply exercising his right. You might be surprised to hear a judge ruled in his favor. Sullivan said, “I can govern myself. And America is about self-government.” “If a person proves he’s responsible, leave him alone, he can govern himself, he doesn’t need to be bothered by the government,” said Sullivan. Donald Sullivan isn’t your typical guy. The retired Air Force Lt. Colonel voted for Ron Paul in the recent election, and says our government has gotten too far away from the republic our forefathers founded. “We don’t have control over our own property anymore, our own lives, our own anything. The state regulates and taxes everything,” said Sullivan. Sick of the government micromanaging his life, Mr. Sullivan staged a unique form of protest. There’s no state issued license plate on his truck. You won’t find an inspection sticker either. Sullivan says he doesn’t need them and he’s been driving around without them for the last year and a half. Sullivan said, “I wanted to get a ticket, and I wanted to have the vehicle impounded, and I wanted to be arrested, because you have to be standing in a court to pursue these kinds of questions.” He finally got his wish. A trooper pulled Mr. Sullivan over in January, and the …
Initially called the Charlestown Navy Yard, and following 1945 named the Boston Naval Shipyard, the Boston Navy Yard is one of the foremost ship constructing sites of the American Navy. The Boston Nay Yard was formed in 1801 and resides on a 30 acre or 120, 000 square meters of land. The yard formally ceased its activities on the 1st of July 1974. The Boston Navy Yard is now incorporated into the Boston National Historical Park.
The Boston Navy Yard includes many attractions. The Yard contains the museum ship USS Cassin Young (DD-793), the USS Constitution and also the USS Constitution Museum. The museum ship USS Cassin Young and USS Constitution can be found on Pier 1. Drydock No. 1 is still in operation and is used to maintain much of the historic ships. The Boston Navy Yard is part of the Freedom Trail.
The USS Constitution was nicknamed the “Old Ironsides” following the battle with the British warship HMS Guerriere in 1812. The USS Constitution was able to defeat five British warships and also capture many trading vessels during the War of 1812. The USS Constitution was named by President George Washington in honor of the Constitution of the United States of America. The USS Constitution has a hull made of wood and is a three mastered heavy frigate ship of the US Navy. Construction of the ship commenced on 1794 and the ship commenced operations in 1797.
When travelling to Boston make sure to find some accommodation at one of the hotels in Boston. Out of the Boston hotels, one recommended hotel for making your lodge would be the Langham Hotel Boston.
