In 1942, one of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal Supreme Courts ruled that an Ohio farmer named Filburn was NOT permitted to raise the amount of wheat he wished on his own farm, for the purpose of feeding his own family. And for 70 years this and a handful of similar, overreaching decisions by the Court have resulted in the wholesale abuse of a power granted Congress in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, namely the “Commerce Clause.” (1)
In the Wickard v Filburn case, the Court opened to Congress the nearly unlimited power to exercise legislative authority relating to virtually ANYTHING Congress may define as “commerce among the several states.” The Ohio farmer had been fined $117 because he grew winter wheat in excess of the quantity permitted by quota in the Agricultural Adjustment Act. (2)
And even though it was for use on his own farm, the Court decided that … Continue Reading:ObamaCare survival could depend on Roosevelt, “New Deal” Supreme Court

”Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch…One if by land, two if by sea…”
These lines are from the poem, Paul Revere’s Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, born FEBRUARY 27, 1807.
An American poet and Harvard Professor, Longfellow wrote such American classics as: The Song of Hiawatha; The Courtship of Miles Standish and Evangeline, in which he penned:
“Man is unjust, but God is just; and finally justice triumphs.”
In A Psalm of Life, 1838, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote:
“Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul…
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er … Continue Reading:American Minute Feb. 27

Those in a panic over the expected loss of 2nd Amendment rights should the UN Small Arms Treaty be adopted need to understand two very important facts:
1) the Treaty has no chance of garnering the 2/3rds vote necessary for senate approval; and
2) a real UN sponsored threat to gun rights in the US and globally does exist, going under the acronym of ISACS, “International Small Arms Control Standards.”
The UN has been actively working to disarm private individuals and a fair number of nations for thirty years. From its inception in 1982 to the current United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, the organization promotes not only nuclear disarmament, but also and perhaps most especially “disarmament efforts in the area of conventional weapons, especially land mines and small arms…” (1)
And 3 decades of effort have resulted in a program which hopes to impose international standards on virtually … Continue Reading:Small Arms Treaty not the biggest UN threat to gun owners

A new Pew Research study has some chilling news for those of us who are fighting to save America.
Pews findings are as follows.
It tells us one in every eight voter registrations is somehow defective and constitutes ample grounds to turn the named person away from the polls.
Nationally there are over 1.8 million dead people still carried as eligible voters, and there are about 2.75 million people registered in two or more states.
There are at least 51 million Americans who are eligible to vote but not registered. This leaves a huge poll of names for fraudulent registrants to draw from. ACORN MoveOn and other enemies of America are well aware of these numbers and ready to pounce.
As usual we cannot rely on our federal and state governments to fully address this problem so we have to or no one will. In … Continue Reading:How can we join the fight against voter fraud? True The Vote – that’s how!

”God is behind everything, but everything hides God,” wrote Victor Hugo in his classic Les Miserables, Book 5, Chapter 4.
Born FEBRUARY 26, 1802, Victor Marie Hugo was hailed as the greatest of the Romanticists poets.
He is best know for writing Cromwell, 1827, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1831, and Les Miserables, 1862, an epic story of redemption set in Paris during the French Revolution.
Hugo’s father was a general in Napoleon’s army, and Hugo supported his heir, until he turned out to be a tyrant.
Hugo opposed him and was forced into exiled for 19 years.
Over 3 million people attended Hugo’s funeral in Paris.
In his Preface to Cromwell, 1827, Victor Hugo wrote:
“Lastly, this threefold poetry flows from three great sources-The Bible, Homer, Shakespeare…
The Bible before the Iliad, the Iliad before Shakespeare.”
Victor Hugo stated:
“England has … Continue Reading:American Minute Feb. 26
