The united States were founded in the singular, decisive act of asserting their freedom in the Declaration of Independence. This document explains why Christian men could go against their earthly rulers, something admonished by Romans 13. We have arrived at a world where resistance to civil government is being advocated in the form of “nullification,” or having the “lesser magistrate” interpose between the government and the people when it comes to enforcing unjust laws.

Some may wonder how refusing service or employment to a homosexual is any different than refusing service or employment to a black person who cannot change his skin. If the street thug could force the business owner to serve him, that would be slavery. If a business owner has to serve a homosexual despite his objectionable behavior, that is also slavery!

The slave ship’s captain, John Newton, found himself in the midst of a treacherous storm at sea and prayed to God to spare him. Some of the slaves he was transporting were released from the cargo hold and helped to save the ship. Shortly thereafter, Newton had an epiphany and gave up the slave trade.

In the the 1977 miniseries, “Roots,” the most remembered and replayed scene for most people is the one where a young Kunta Kinte is being whipped because he won’t take a slave name. But the scene that should be the most remembered because of its troubling content is when a grown Kunta Kinte finds his old girlfriend Fanta on the Calvert plantation and asks her to run away to freedom with him. When she hesitates and starts making excuses, he asks her, “Will you stay a slave?!”

For a State to give up its sovereignty, freedom, and independence is like a person selling himself into slavery. Since slavery is illegitimate, no man will remain a slave once he wakes up to the fact that he is actually free. An honest person who has made a contract may fulfill the terms he agreed to, but the idea that a person can be born into slavery, obligated to a contract by his parents, or bound in service against his will is both inhuman and contrary to the principles of the American Revolution.

Nationalists at the 1787 convention claimed they were speaking for the people of the States (rather than their States separately,) and as such they were a higher power than the States, with full authority to dissolve or disregard the existing Constitution.

As I mentioned in my last piece on this subject, Mark Levin and his associates have hinged all their ideas on acceptance of an Article V Convention, which is completely undermined if the Constitution is invalid. Therefore, they must discredit the foundational idea that the States were ever sovereign, free, or independent. The big problem is, American history doesn’t agree with them.

Picture yourself waking up Monday morning to see the news media proclaiming that over the weekend, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid had convened a secret meeting at Camp David to discuss how to make our government better. With Democratic leaders and union bosses in attendance from each state, they called a “Convention for Social Justice” and drafted a new Constitution which provided for universal healthcare, guaranteed housing, a free college education, a gun-free society, food stamps, social security, a right to a job with a living wage, a limit of CEO pay to $250,000, and a subsistence stipend up to $500 per week for all who don’t earn that much.

There is a lot of talk in certain circles of the possibility of an upcoming Constitutional Convention. The public push for this effort is being led by right-wing talkshow host, Mark Levin, who gets a lot right when it comes to the preservation of liberty and the Constitution. Where Mark Levin is wrong is that he only believes the Constitution limits government when it comes to leftist issues, or issues he doesn’t care about.

As part of a victim mentality, American blacks dreamed up the concept of “Ebonics” to excuse parents from requiring their children to learn standard English. The mentality behind Ebonics also goes a long way in explaining why Uncle Tom has been vilified.
