The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
Why does half of the people in the the US still say they would vote for Obama at this late date? Polls now show that the candidates are virtually tied. Here is my thought. For decades now, our public school system has been failing. My limited reserach leads me to conclude that most of the younger generations have been "dumbed down" by the system. They have limited critical and analytical thinking skills, and know very little about the founding of our Country, our values, our Consitution, etc. I teach college, and I have too many students that don't even know how to simple arithemetic. I asked my grand daughter (senior in High School) about her US History course and what they had taught her about the founding principles of the company and the fight for freedom. She said, "Very little." So, we have a very large group of people out there who are evaluating Barak Obama on his "likeability factor". Below that, they have no idea of what is doing, what he has done and the prospects for what he will do. They just can't muster a good thought for process for voting.
