American Minute with Bill Federer   July 11 - Alexander Hamilton shot in duel He intentionally fired into the air, but his political rival, former Vice-President Aaron Burr, took deadly aim and fatally shot him in a duel JULY 11, 1804. Born in the West Indies, he fought in the Revolution and was aide-de-camp to General Washington.   He helped write the Constitution and convinced States to ratify it by writing 51 of the 85 "Federalist Papers." His name was Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.  Alexander Hamilton had written in "The Farmer Refuted," February 23, 1775: "The Supreme Being gave existence to man, together with the means of preserving and beautifying that existence...and invested him with an inviolable right to personal liberty and personal safety." Alexander Hamilton continued: "The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."   Alexander Hamilton concluded: "Good and wise men, in all ages...have supposed that the Deity, from the relations we stand in to Himself, and to each other, has constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is indispensably obligatory upon all mankind...This is what is called the law of nature...dictated by God himself." In a speech at the Constitutional Convention, June 22, 1787, Alexander Hamilton spoke of the biblical concept that mankind has a sinful nature: "Take mankind as they are, and what are they governed by? Their passions. There may be in every government a few choice spirits, who may act from more worthy motives. One great error is that we suppose mankind is more honest that they are." After the Constitution was written, 1787, Alexander Hamilton wrote: "I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."   Alexander Hamilton stated: "Liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator to the whole human race...Civil liberty...cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice."  On April 16, 1802, Alexander Hamilton wrote to James Bayard: "Let an association be formed to be denominated 'The Christian Constitutional Society,' its object to be first: The support of Christian religion; second: The support of the United States."

56 Signers - The Declaration of Independence (video, 8m)

From "The FreedomProject.com" and its online, four part, "Seminar Series" including "Overview of America."

A crucial moment in American history... 64 men met to discuss the options. They decided to issue their intent to break away from the greatest power on earth, with the largest military - England - to become a new, independent nation. They knew if they failed, it would become their own death warrant. This document declaring boldly their intent, citing the rights that had been endowed to them by their Creator, and with the signatures of 56 brave men affixed was sent out to the world. After years of deadly war, suffering, and peril, the new nation was born in liberty and prosperity.

This is a tribute to those often-forgotten men - the 56 Signers of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America who risked all so that we may be free.

This Thursday, Sept. 17, is Constitution Day. It is a day specifically designated by an act of Congress for Americans to honor the remarkable document that created our system of government.  The date was chosen because the Constitution was approved at the original Constitutional Convention on Sept. 17, 1787. The act that created Constitution Day mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day.  Sadly, our schools have done a dreadful job teaching students about the Constitution.  What else would you expect when most teachers have no idea what the Constitution says? While every politician pays lip service to the Constitution (the President, Vice President and every member of Congress take an oath to "preserve and protect" it), the sad truth is that vast majority of actions taken by the Federal government today are not authorized by the Constitution. I have heard it said that, if the Constitution were fully and honestly enforced today, the Federal government would be 20 percent of its present size and would cost 20 percent of its present budget.  I think those numbers are an exaggeration; I suspect the truth would be closer to 10 percent. Just imagine: No foreign aid, no Departments of Education, Housing, Health, Agriculture or Homeland Security. No commissions, bureaucratic monstrosities or other meddlesome agencies that "harass our people and eat out their substance." (That's an actual indictment of King George from the Declaration of Independence.) What would this country be like if the Constitution were fully and honestly enforced?  I hope some day we'll come a lot closer to finding out than we are today. —Chip Wood

Norman Rockwell's America - Tell me it's not gone.

Norman Rockwell
01:47 - 3 years ago youtube.com

Norman Rockwell (1894 - 1978) was enormously productive, having created more than 4,000 pieces of art work in his lifetime. His unique view of Americana and sense of humor which he brought to his paintings are what make him one of the greatest American artists. The very last image of the video shows Rockwell doing a "triple self-portrait". The soundtrack is a clip from "All The Cats Join In" by Benny Goodman, another American original.
