Way back in 1964, after graduation from a University, with a degree in Forest, I took a job with the US Fish & Wildlife Service. It was shortly after taking that job, we were required to spend our lunch period watch a move were President LBJ was stating to the nation that he was eliminating all sorts of government jobs and saving billions of dollars. A few days later, a janitor came around with a razor blade and scraped off the names of some divisions off the doors and changed that name to another existing division. On paper, it look as though hundreds of people were gone, but not one person was eliminate. Yes, that division was eliminate, but the employees from that division were just incorporated into another division. That is when I learned about the "Government Fast Shuffle." I subsequently left the service over a 'Hatch Act" incident. That is another story.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
