Comment
BOSTON (AP) -- The U.S. Navy's oldest commissioned warship will sail under its own power for just the second time in more than a century to commemorate the battle that won it the nickname "Old Ironsides."
The USS Constitution, which was first launched in 1797, will be tugged from its berth in Boston Harbor on Sunday to the main deepwater pathway into the harbor. It will then set out to open seas for a 10-minute cruise.
The short trip marks the day two centuries ago when the Constitution bested the British frigate HMS Guerriere in a fierce battle during the War of 1812. It follows a three-year restoration project and is the first time the Constitution has been to sea on its own since its 200th birthday in 1997.
Before that, it hadn't sailed under its own power since 1881. The Constitution is periodically tugged into the harbor for historical display.

Right you are Nathan, they have some good information, plus hear in the US we practice British Law Not Common Law as was originally intended.
we are a long way from what our founders created, screwed up right from the get go
Good info on vid, Mac. His mathmatical skills are lacking just a bit but still, informative.
Good history lesson guys
Ahh but a few years later hear comes Lincoln the destroyer of our Republican Republic , you know the guy Obama likens himself after!
Freedom,
Hmm...well, Joseph II was the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire at the time and Louis XVI was king of France so, mad king George's sycophants that drafted those phrases could have called him most high emperor of the world and it would have had the same effect; none.
Article 1:
His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.
British troops in the U.S. in 1795...yes, and we went to war over that and a few other matters in 1812. Britain had been in breach of contract since the treaty was signed; I don't think they ever had any intention of honoring the agreement.
And, to be fair, some States were failing to adhere to the treaty as well.
Troy, I love you to death and I hope you take that in consideration, when i say....
All of this is bunk. It means nothing.
It once did, when all of us thought we had some small amount of moral ground to stand upon, but, honestly...we never have. It has all been a tremendous and outrageous lie! With but one document...I can sweep away all of the above research and render it as a non-sequitur.
http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?doc=6&page=transcript
Treaty of Paris-1783
"In the Name of the most Holy & undivided Trinity.
It having pleased the Divine Providence to dispose the Hearts of the most Serene and most Potent Prince George the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lunebourg, Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire etc.. and of the United States of America,"
1. Who is the King of France as so stated in 1783?
2. Who is really speaking here? The Pope or his Arch-Treasurer?
3. Since when does the supposed loser dictate the terms of surrender?
4. Who is listed as the Arch- Treasurer and Prince Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, and the United States?
5. How is it in 1795, that Britain's Troops are still occupying America?

australia and america are and will always be joined at teh hip re intelligence and security when they hae their act together that is
Can I say it....Like WOW Man! Great research! Now all we need is for the right people in the right positions to remove the laws (i.e. legislation) that were written to allow the Central Banks to cohere the politicians to do their bidding and get our country back in the hands of its citizens. No more career politicians and if an elected politician makes a 180 degree shift on the policies they were to hold, they should be fired for a "no confidence" regards.
Now let us hope that our founding fathers were no in favor of suppressing the absolute truth from its citizens.
I don't mind the Rosicrucian and the Free Masons leading the way with what is True to life, but I cannot take part in the grand master plan of a NWO to down press my fellow brother and sister on this planet.
We must let the Inner City of London, the Vatican and the District of Columbia (i.e. the Ring of Power) know we may have given them the responsibility of managing our government and financial future, but we did not give up our right to freedom for the elected role they play in our lives.
