Whatever you do, don't watch the original National Treasure movie.

Constitutionalists may see the following script lines in a very unsettling way:

Gates: Of all the words written here about freedom, there's a line here that's at the heart of all the others.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security."

People don't talk that way any more.

Poole: Beautiful, huh? No idea what you said.

Gates: It means, if there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

===================

You don't want to be thinking on THAT one too much...

Well, he took the elegance of an nth generation fighter jet, abstracted from it the principles of flight, which he then presented in terms of a $29.95 rubber-band driven balsa wood plane kit and then claimed both are basically the same. But it's the differences that make the difference.
