American Minute Feb. 29

FEBRUARY 29 is Leap Day.

In 45 B.C., Julius Caesar replaced the calendars used throughout the Roman Empire based on the moon’s cycles with a calendar based on the sun, having 365 days and a “leap” day every 4th year.
It was modified by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to omit leap days in years divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400.
This was done to keep the date Easter after the Spring Equinox and near the Jewish Feasts of Passover, Unleaven Bread and First Fruits. Protestant Europe did not adopt the Gregorian reform till the 1700′s.
England and its colonies waited till 1752, but by that time the calendar trailed the seasons by 11 days.
When America finally adjusted its calendar and the day after September 2 became September 14, there were reports of riots.
Another interesting event occurred on this day during Christopher Columbus’ last … Continue Reading:American Minute Feb. 29

Obama’s “defeat train” picking up speed as it heads toward a cliff

By Coach Collins, on February 29th, 2012%

 

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

 Since Friday Barack Obama’s chances of reelection have dimmed considerably.

 The recent hits “Hope and Change Part II” has taken are not small and will cause even “true believers” to take heed.

Friday Democracy Corps told Obama and his advisors they should stop telling people the economy is either getting better or has actually fully recovered as some wild eyed liars have been saying. In very strong language Stan Greenberg the DC pollster said even the weakest Republican message on the economy gets a markedly better response from voters than any variation of Obama’s “America is back” theme. 

  Yesterday a little reported Pew research survey revealed that Catholic voters are running away from Obama in large numbers. It noted that while Catholics in general had supported Democrats 53/37 in 2008 that advantage is now down to just 48/43, but more telling is that church going Catholics who favored John McCain 50/49 … Continue Reading:Obama’s “defeat train” picking up speed as it heads toward a cliff

With a Kenyan father Obama’s 18 year old mother couldn’t have Constitutional conveyed citizenship

Attorney Orly Taitz vowed to shove everything she had concerning Barack Obama’s evidentiary problem at last week’s eligibility challenge in front of Indiana’s election board.  Taitz, whose airline ticket to the hearing was purchased by a concerned citizen presented evidence of a “stolen social security number and a forgery instead of a birth certificate!”  She told WND reporter Bob Unruh that Indiana just removed their Secretary of State Charlie White for his discrepancies with voter registration irregularities over “minor” problems.  Taitz said our sitting president’s eligibility problems are major in comparison.       

But new questions about the status of BHO’s teen age mother Stanley Ann Dunham are surfacing as analysis at another web site is revealing a Congressional rule change for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986 puts in serious doubt Stanley Ann Dunham’s ability to confer citizenship status on her son. 

Since Barack Hussein … Continue Reading:With a Kenyan father Obama’s 18 year old mother couldn’t have Constitutional conveyed citizenship

American Minute Feb. 28

 His grandson, Robert, was the U.S. Navy Commodore who helped freed slaves found Liberia, West Africa, and in 1846, captured California, resulting in the city of Stockton being named for him.

His brother-in-law, Elias Boudinot, was a Continental Congress President and founder of the American Bible Society.

His daughter married Declaration Signer Benjamin Rush.

His name was Richard Stockton. After Richard Stockton signed the Declaration of Independence, the British invaded New Jersey, forcing him to move his family for safety.

Richard was betrayed, dragged from his bed at night and imprisoned in New York.

His farm was pillaged and his library, one of the best in the country, was burned.

With his health broken from over a year in the British prison, Richard Stockton died bankrupt at age 51 on FEBRUARY 28, 1781.

New Jersey placed statue of him in the U.S. Capitol Statuary Hall. Richard Stockton wrote in his Will:

“As … Continue Reading:American Minute Feb. 28

New Pew survey: Obama losing ground among Catholic Jewish Protestant and even atheist voters

By Coach Collins, on February 28th, 2012%

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

   According to a Pew poll released earlier this month even before Barack Obama went public with his all-out war on the Catholic Church White non-Hispanic Catholics started moving away from the Democrats and toward a Republican self-identification.     

The quietly released survey, which contains lots of bad news for Democrats, was completed last December by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

What Pew found was as follows.

The Democrat identification all Catholics (practicing and non- practicing) had in 2008 is gone.  Democrat identification has slipped from 53/37 to 48/43 – again this was BEFORE Obama’s declaration of war.

While this general trend should be enough to cause alarm for Democrats, digging a bit deeper brings worse news.  Among White non-Hispanic Catholics – who make up a much larger portion of those who will actually vote-  the numbers have reversed to a 49/42 Republican advantage.   Moreover Democrats are now even … Continue Reading:New Pew survey: Obama losing ground among Catholic Jewish Protestant and even atheist voters
