Very well said. Cogent summary of the past year's nightmare for our Republic. The end of this Progressive/Marxist reign can not arrive soon enough for America.

Mark,

An exceptional and detailed essay on the corrupt ObaMarxist elected to preside over our Republic.

We can but pray the Brown effect will spread and arrest this idiocy.

Jack Weaver (Retired Pastor)

Bold and proud,

The bells of freedom will ring again for our republic.

Praise be to God, our Creator.

I enjoy your publications and look forward to reading them every day. I am no fan of Obama or of his reckless leadership and policies. Today I see a photo of the president "giving the finger". I usually appreciate your humor, but I do not appreciate this attempt. It seems the photo is "doctored" to give the impression he is "flipping us off". We don't need a doctored photo with a vulgar message to form an oppinion of this man. We know how he is by his words and actions. Please, keep the humor on the decent side. There is no need really to stoop to a photo trick that one may expect the "other side" to play.

Your comments are what's wrong with this country. Both republicans and democrats just attack each other rather than try to work together for the good of the country. It's all about power not accomplishments. George Bush was no better than Obama. At least Obama got water to Haiti in one day. It took Bush four days to get water to New Orleans. It easy to hide behind the idiotic printed words you sent me. It takes guts to try to work with the opposition to improve this great country. The same goes for the democrats.

To take back our beloved country from the progressives we must first take back our schools. IF you have not looked at your children's text books lately, you need to. They are being taught that America is bad. No true history is being taught and nothing about our Constitution appears in most history books. The college level is even worse. They don]t even permit Conservatives on campus these days!

Footnotes: 1. With the election of Brown, ObamaCare in its present form is dead, but expect Obama to call for passage of revised legislation, which has support of both Republicans and Democrats. Once passed, it can then be readily amended.

The problem with "politics" is that all politicians are going to the same goal, which means "instant Communism" or "incremental Communism" but the goal is the same - Communism. A Statesman insists on the "upholding and defending the Constitution, So help me God."

My greatest fear about any government formed health care is that once it is in place the political machine can take it anywhere they want. Now that President Obama does not have the votes to ram this through, it sounds like he is willing to make concessions to health care. But once it goes through on any level they can change it to make it work for their agenda. I fear for our people and for the generations to come.

God Bless America!!!

The picture says it all "The ONE giving us the finger" This November we should have this picture in front of every voting booth in the USA to remind us of what has transpired in the past two years.

You're organizsation is doing a great service!!

I find the Obama health care reform process to be interesting. I can't understand the manner with which they are going about foisting on us their radical ideas. Because those in politics know better than anyone else that to achieve the end goal you use the "incremental technique" of change. Sudden change in a democracy will often bring a backlash of the constituency (as we are seeing) and as a result the end goal is derailed.

We all know the story of the frog who jumps into pan of warm water. If you heat the water slowly, at some point in time, the frog will "wake up dead." But if the water is hot initially the frog will immediately jump out.

What concerns me now is that the radical Dems. are not giving up on implementing their version of reform in health-care. As they said yesterday they will bring back health-care reform piece by piece. In other words they are going to use the "incremental technique."

We need to see their plan for what it is. The "changes" will be nothing more than if the pan is lukewarm and they will heat it slowly to the point we'll "wake up dead" if we don't remain vigilant.

It is my opinion that the election of Barack Hussein Obama will be seen as the single most important event of our time in the preservation of liberty. His election did what no other act seemed capable of doing.....it awoke the American people to the fragility of the precious gifts of freedom bequeathed by the founding fathers and the need for constant vigilance in defending it.

It also shoots down a theory I held that no president could ever be worse than Jimmy Carter.

I have not been interested in anything that our dear leader has had to say, ever! However, Mark has presented a challenge: how many cliche chatch phrases will BHO use in his SOTU to gloss over the truth? I plan on keeping score!

Did anyone notice the "salute" he is giving the American people, in the picture at the top of the page? And did you notice how he has his finger in his ear, in the second picture? Didn't he say that the Republicans could brimg him proposals, even welcomed them, and in the same breath, state that he would waste no time reading them?

Ifear that we may slip back into cmplacency in November based on what will be the past victories of this new year.Projecting that the left will process these stunning defeats as a clarion to shelve the overall socialist agenda. This could be crippling. I believe they will continue to twist arms and bribe fringe elements into a subtrefuge effort to create a false sense of perceived security for the initiatives so far won, and dissapate our resolve. I pray this will not be true.

WOW.....Good going Mark. I wish you could give the rebuttal Mr Obama's (I can't make myself say President) speech next Wednesday evening.

.....and so it goes~~

"Never before in the history of our great nation has any sitting president held so much disregard and outright contempt for our Constitution and Rule of Law."

I quite agree with you. However, find me the last president (Calvin Coolidge?) who consistently upheld the Constitution. To take the oath seriously a president, or legislator for that matter, would find it necessary to veto, repeal or otherwise reject at least 95% of all legislated laws, rules, regulation and SPENDING.

God bless you all...I so appreciate your light in all the dark places! Brenda

ED;

How can he defend the Consitition when he is in violation of the very same. As well I am curious why Impeachment hearings haven't begun Yet.

Thanks for the great Articles you Print & for All that you do>

B.C.

My local congessman let it slip when he replied to my letter about travesty of a health care bill. He told me "the single payer option was not in the cards for this session of congress, but we will get it in the next session. The plans are already laid for a complete take over. BELIEVE IT. They LIE!!

Mark,

I thought you were dead on in your essay. My only arguement is with your misquote in footnote #2. Obama has created 1000's of jobs in the public sector. Though they do not boost the economy and actually add dollars to the deficit, the paychecks received by those filling those positions are very real and in some cases, the only income flowing into the home.

Keep up the GREAT you and your staff do.

God Bless America

Don't forget Obama accepting an appointment as head of UN Security, thus tying US closely with UN leftist policies.

Nor should we forget Copenhagen, with 3 or 4 jets, or the bid for Chicago Olympic's, with it's 2 jets, where on both occasions "friends & family" rode free, like some kind of big "all expenses paid vacation", billed to the taxpayers.

Then when Copenhagen failed, our government went to plan B, and allowed the EPA to regulate the very air we breath-out. Resulting in a projected cost to the US taxpayer of $90 Billion dollars in higher utility costs.

Yes, we need to give credit where credit is due, and this Administration is credited with much.

It's time our ledgislaters OBEY the OATH they

SWEAR to uphold when seated.Work for the PEOPLE

and the BETTERMENT of the BEST FORM OF GOVERMENT

the world will ever know."Know the CONSTITUTION &

rule by it's LAW".

I'm thankfull Scott Brown is not a Ted Kennedy, but here is his position on pro-life issues:

Conscience-based opt out of post-rape contraception

Provide info about emergency contraception to rape victims

Support legalized abortion, but not partial-birth abortion

Supported by right-to-life groups for stem cell stance

Authored bill for 24-hour waiting period for abortion

Abortions should always be legally available

He is just acting true to form. He told us what to expect, people just did not listen.

Good health care is the dream of all societies, but that is not the way the medical corporations want it. Keeping people healthy won't make them money. GREED IS THEIR ONLY DREAM and they don't want your money going back to you.

So now your politically appointed right-wing-nut Supreme Court judges have given huge corporations Cart Blanche, the unbridled ability to buy the

US government away from the people, such as yourselves and therefore nullifying our wonderful democracy and creating a grand international plutocracy. This is CRAPITALISM!

Thank you for bringing our nation down to its knees faster then the World Trade Center fell on

9-11. The cancer now rules the body and as we all know, the body will die along with the cancer. You fools who fell for their game are in for something much worse than Bush left us. WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON, ADAMS and LINCOLN will despise your actions or lack there of. Your party, as you have allowed them to make it, has failed the people and yourselves. They, the corporations don't care about you, so you had better wake up and take the power from them. I trust you guys and your guns more than I trust them. They are now the real enemy!!!!

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

Everyone is assuming we will have an election in November. I am not so sure. Isn't it possible to trump up a national crisis, Declare Martial Law and then just hold power like the communists did in the former USSR. I for one do not trust this administration at all. I do not believe they have anything at all that is in our interest. The signs are there for a complete takeover of our country. Taxation without representation, Unconstitutional programs,Namby pamby treatmt of the enemies of our country (Man caused disaster indeed). Then to rub our noses in it; move trials of known terrorists to our soil inviting more terror attempts. It may well be that we have awakened too late. I sincerely hope that God will intervene and stop this "man caused disaster" but He does not always work that way. Arise patriots stand to the colors! defend this great nation, because we seem to be lacking in patriotism ourselves.

I wish the media would stop associating conservative independents as republicians, WE ARE NOT. We are tea party people not aligned with "the parties" we are the tea party, we are independent and the parties better get that figured out. Chances are that this administration will do something to stop the next election but if they don't it will be the tea party that will be dominant!

Mark, your 1-21 essay is one that should be kept and read weekly by every patriot. A perfect summation of Obama and his first year in office but I liked even more your statements on liberty and how so many people have taken them for granted. It is my believe that the one good thing coming from the Obama presidency is that people are seeing that liberty can and will be taken away if patriots don't do anything to stop it from happening.

Keep up the good work and God Bless

Obama has absolutely nothing to report on the economy during his state of the union address that will be uplifting to Americans except maybe "Girl Scout Cookies Are Doing Well"

Mister Alexander,

Please run for the office of The President Of The United States Of America.

I couldn't agree more with you, my husband died defending the liberty of all Americans and I know if he were alive today he would be outraged and disappointed in our system. It is time for the American people to take a stand because doing nothing is the way demoracy dies. I was so afraid it woul disappear and I was so scared for my grandchildren, that they would grow up in a socialist country. But thank God there is still hope. Keep up the good work we all need a voice.

You have done it again. Condensed, concise truth thanks. Please continue to publish the plain truth.

Ed

Patriot Post,US, 21 January. Thank you, Sir! It is so refreshing, so heartening, to read a public declaration of one's own thought and conviction! I, and milions, and millions, have fought, bled-- many died-- to affirm the legitamcy of the Constitution.

A century of battle--on foriegn shores! Assault on domestic enemies has commenced! First engagements are won: in VA, in NJ, in MA--Wash.DC in Nov.!

USN,E8. Ready! Again!

Did anybody notice that in the lead picture, Obama is giving the camera (the people) the finger? Has anybody else thought that given the crap campaign that Coakly gave in MA, that she might have thrown the election (most likely under presidetial or party direction)on purpose, so Obama could use the Sen. Brown election as the fall guy for the failure of his health plan, rather than admit his plan would have failed in the long run?

The first thing I noticed was THE FINGER, an appropriate salute from one who holds the American public in complete disregard. It COULDN'T be a doctored photo--there are too many giveaways. That's him, alright. Now I'll go back and read the rest.......

Good grief--now I see the finger in the RIGHT ear. This could mean something...

In all the chaos of the Progressive's attempt to overrun our Government, it's refreshing to have sanity returning, as idicated by Massachusetts. The Patriot Post has been my touch-stone for hope.

Congratulations! A veritable clinic on the lies perpetrated by our leader (in presidential name only). Now, if only the Republicans can capitalize on what's happening, because it's not a Republican thing, it's a populist thing that Republicans can run with IF THEY TAKE THE BALL THAT'S BEEN HANDED TO THEM...........

Obama is everything you've opined but George Bush got my vote for the President who most thwarted our Constitution and separation of powers...in my book, both parties are bad for America.

With all due respect to your article, if the so-called healthcare bill passes in any form,it will Still give the TRANSFER of Total Power to the Executive Branch-Obama. Please read it.

YOU must include this important factor in your article/s.

Respectfully,

May God bless this great Country. May "We the People" remember, remember where we came from and where we are heading if we don't keep vigilant. We let our defenses down and slept, but we are awake now and there is going to be one heck of a battle yet to come. We must never again trust our elected officals to do what is right. We must always keep in-touch with what they are doing. Let them know that we are always watching....... I read the other day a saying I thought was great; "We the People have done something historical!! "We elected the "First Anti-American President" Mistakes can be changed and for the better. Words mean nothing, it is the doing that matters,

When a man/woman is so blind as he will not see the light which is in front of him, then he deserves to be in the dark and blinded! I am NOT sorry to say that electing BHO just because some people wanted to hear the smooth words he was prompted to say from a teleprompter, is about as blind as a bat flying bacwards in a blizzard! I still ask he question !!! Where is the birth certificate Mr. O ?? Show the world!!!

Mark, your essay of 1/21/10 was spot on. What really troubles me is that many of the misguided morons who voted for this Marxist thug still believe in him. And they will vote for him again in 2012 if he runs again. He may sit in the oval office, but he is not my president. He has usurped the office. And only time will tell if the people of this great land understand how corrupt his entire administration is and either impeach him or demand he resign before he does greater harm to America.

At the risk of further ridicule as an ungracious tea bagger and a long time reader and supporter of the Patriot Post let me just offer my thanks for your fair and unbiased evaluation of Obama and team's performance in their first year in office. Press on but recognize the risk as I'm sure the Whitehouse has placed your publication in a league with Fox. However, in my mind you couldn't be in better company. May God bless you and your team and please keep up the good work. Chuck stein, Savannah, Georgia

Extremely well written and concise, but it does somewhat miss a rather major, fundamental point, even though that point can certainly be inferred....and that is, the present problem with our nation, and the vulnerablility of freedom and liberty, is not Obama. Rather, it is that enough of the citizens of this great country are so ignorant and brainwashed that they would vote this transparent Marxist and his far left liberal henchmen and women in congress into office. We can never rest on the fragile laurel of hope that something like this can never happen again!

Any semblance of a guarantee to salvage and retain freedom and liberty will only come through some very fundamental changes to our societal infrastructure. We will need to make tough decisions in areas like how we allow our children to be taught in school, how our legal system often works at odds with individual liberty, and how we allow political correctness to stifle basic and life saving truth. And, of course, those are only the tip of the iceberg. A return to conservative values, while sounding like a monumental goal for America as a whole, is critical for our long-term survival as a truly free country.

Minus this, what can possibly keep another hostile takeover from happening again?

Excellent summary of the nightmare that was 2009. I hope that the populist movement, that we saw begin with the Tea Party rally's (I was one of "those" people as was my teenage son), that resulted in wins in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, will continue on thru this fall's elections and put Obama's advance in reverse. The statist's agenda of Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Frank/Dodd/Schumer et al can not be derailed soon enough. We still have 3 more years of an Obama administration and I hope for liberty's sake, it is only 3. Keep up the fight Patriot Post!!!

great column, since becoming disabled, the last 8 yrs have given me the chance to be a REAL citizen. i researched barry in 06', it was easy, i tried alerting all i know and other's that a lifelong communist was going to run for the presidency. lot's of co-conspiritor's! as a jurist at AMERICAN GRAND JURY, the most important thing i've ever done as a citizen, was to vote to indict barry & nancy. AGJ is the only avenue i can find, who are ACTIVELY trying to evict the communist usurper. you cannot impeach someone who is not eligible for the office, for those who don't understand whats actually happening in DC. this column points out nicely that we the people, have the duty to bring all the criminals in the white house & the congress to justice. yes, it will create a lot of chaos but, to do nothing about the crimes being commited against our constitution, frankly, is SUICIDE. LOOK at your kids, then start thinking real hard. again, great column.

Finally. Pictures of Obama without the halo and "inspired" look. Thank you!

01/21/10

I must admit,I did not notice the look of charm &

the GESTURE of ACKNOWLEDGMENT by the Chicago

learned political prostitute.He went to Harvard,

But he's still a"CHICAGO GRADUATE".

Excellent!!! This was just such an open and honest understanding of what 'obama' is really all about...

God Bless you Mr. Alexander.

Gramma from Canada

OK, I concur as usual. But the photo (gesture) is a bit much. Instead of putting in his picture, could you just put a drawing of a halo -- I'm tired of seeing that face everywhere, all the time.

Mr. Alexander:

Thank you for so eloquently putting into words what many of us feel and think. God has bestowed upon you a great talent that you have used wisely to honor Him.

May God continue to bless you.

I'm sure it wasn't very easy to decide which of the many Obama failings to point out, but those listed in this essay are concise and accurate. Right on!

I hope following the One's SotU address next week you will provide a tally of all of the "catch phrases" he reads off his teleprompter. Thank you, God Bless America!

Obama is not ready for the job he had the acorn people get for him. We who own the country are sufering for everything he's messed up. We the people cannot tolerate this much longer. Still want to know if he is a US Citizen, this must be Answered or he's out.

Okay he's know lisening to the people that run the nation. Get with it or make an excuse to leave.

This is a country Of God and Religion, not anything else. Join us as we are or negate your thoughts.

We the people will not take anything else but what the country was when you entered. God Bles America we will live or die to save the Country of Freedum.

Great essay, Mark, with many good points clearly stated. I will do all that I can to spread it to all I know. Keep up the good fight. Many thousands are with you.

Jack Wibby

Gray, Maine

I wrote this to my senator from NY

Dear Senator,

There are some people in this state who think you are doing a fine job just as some delusional individuals feel the president is doing a good job. I personally do not think a sufficient job is being done for our state or me in general and the president is too ignorant to see the events happening.

As a physician we look for all kinds of signs when diagnosing a condition. There is no question this nation is sick and New York even sickest. Most of the electorate did not like what Bush was doing and wanted CHANGE but never asked what the change would be when they chose a new leader.

Well it is now obvious there are many signs people do not like what was and is going on in our government. You and your arrogant, egotistical, elitist bunch still have not seen the signs of dissatisfaction, which is happening. Your arrogance is to just force-feed the people what YOU assume is wanted.

Signs have been brewing all summer and with early elections, and since you do not perceive them no need to recount them for you. I ran for congress in 1976 with the desire to get the government off the backs of the taxpayers and proclaimed at the time we would some day spend more on health care then we do on national defense not calculating wars. Lastly I wanted term limits to instill some courage and integrity into our government. We still need these same changes today.

Now more then ever I know I was right. If I were younger I would try to pull a Scott Brown here and run you out of office. The signs are right and all we need is the person to save this dying state. Keep doing as you are and if we find the right person then it will be your turn to look for a job.

The 'bomb' (as I refer to Obahmad!!!)is the total opposite of our President Reagan, I do so believe it was never truly elected, but the adversay satan had it's wy getting it to our President's seat with kookoocliton and the rest of his ultra liberals who hate us Christian's. We will continue to fight to get our way via the Holy Spirit for our Saviour's soon coming

Amazingly well said!

The author wrote this very well and the statements resonate with those who uphold the constitution and bill of rights.

The author however left out the final line of the oath, "so help me God."

Jobama will use all of the catch phrases listed to mitigate his abject failures.

His grades for the year will look something like this:

Uphold the constitution and bill of rights, F

Promoting America, F.

Protecting soveriegnty of America,F.

Protecting terrorists, C.

Protecting our allies, F.

Transparentcy of government, F.

Making deals (or attempts)to hurt America, A.

During his state of the union address next week he will we know try to mitigate his failures, and will not be proud of his good grades.

He has two options; He can blame Bush again, or he can blame his lack of "to the best of my abilities."

I doubt he will admit God has not helped him, not even Allah has helped him.

My money says he will blame Bush, and ignore his lack of abilities to lead America on a prudent path. His socialist mindset can only be changed by the people.

We the people can stop him. Let's get it done.

Mark....another excellent essay! I'm sending it to my network of fellow patriots. You have a way of writing so many of the thoughts I've had in a way that makes those thoughts clear and concise. I also think it will be interesting to see how you essay parallels Beck's show tomorrow....I have a feeling very closely.

Mark,

If I miss The Patriot just once, I fell like I left my country down.

I do have a request - I use your various books (i.e., Essential Liberty, The Declaration of Independence, etc.) at most of my 912 project meetings. Would you consider making then available on the Amazon Kindle? That would also provide you with a running revenue stream and me with an easily accessible reading source that never leaves my side.

Thanks for all your gtreat insights

In the past Demo administration only females had to be wary of the POTUS. Under this admin. NO ONE is safe....

Mark, just finished reading a column by Nicholas Wishek (listed as an educator) in today's Orange County Register which I would like to quote for your readers but as it is excellent but lengthy will only quote the closing paragraph. I'm almost positive he is a subscriber to the Patriot Post as he is definitely aligned with us in his writings, to wit: "When Rep. Joe Wilson yelled "you lie!" at President Obama he was telling the truth. The leaders of this administration have lied to us time and time again. Like the pigs in 'Animal Farm,' some animals are more equal than others, I guess. As voters we need to remember that revolution is not always violent. This administration and the Democratic Party are attacking our way of life. When next we vote, we must vote to stop them. Perhaps the vote in Massachusetts will be the first step."

I recommend reading Mr. Wishek's terrific complete column. Go to ocregister.com to the Opinion (Editorial) Page.

God Bless and keep up the good fight!

Obama was elected just weeks after an economic collapse which can be tied directly to Leftist economic policies.

Mr. Alexander, was it LEFTIST ECONOMIC POLICY to repeal the Glass-Steagel Act?

That sounds more in tune Adam Smith's INVISIBLE HAND.

But it's true that Bill Clinton with his coterie of economic advisers DID get the ball rolling.

government OF,BY and FOR "THE BANKSTERS."

Love the picture of Obama giving the American people the "single digit" salute. How appropriate.

The only thing that this man hasn't done, is request that all peoples age 65 & over, be loaded & taken to the gas chambers. That would end the COLA problem & all government could then vote themselves a raise.

What has happened to IMPEACHMENT of a no good leader that is part of our constion

While we have the momentum. let's throw the rascals out!!!

In the photograph of Obama in the State of Disunion article, Obama appears to be flipping off the photographer or someone located near him. It's probably accidental, but the gesture would fit the facial expression.

The picture of Obama is very telling... he is giving us the finger!

Completely accurate on all accounts! A matter of "Public Record" and Public Disgrace. The smoke and mirrors will not hold up any longer. Scott Brown became a "Beacon" in the darkness. We must not hide our light under a basket, and you very aptly keep "Illuminating" all the corners of this country. I share your Conservative Imperative Information with all who will read and listen!

Thank you, please press on towards the goal.

Vote4Liberty

Your treatise is excellent and right on the money. I am constantly amazed at how many of my friends do not get the thrust and follow through of our president. That is the problem our country is presently experiencing. People just do not want to believe the President is that kind of person. The past three elections, especially Tuesdays', will go a long way to remedy this problem.

So very well said. The hard-left would dub thee a cynic, but it has been said ... "Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth." --Lillian Hellman. Only wish "sheeple" would wake from their media induced coma's to realize our Republic is at stake.

Judge Judy: "When did you realize you were raped?"

Lady of evening (in tears): "When the check bounced"

At some point, we'll all feel the same way.

I have been a subscriber of your POSTS for years.

This IS ONE OF YOUR BEST!

SALUTE!!!!

Our Founding Fathers went to war for a whole lot less than what this "president" has forced on the American people. Are we to do no less??

I had thought perhaps the past year was just a bad dream, but each of those Obama-isms brought back to me the fact that watching the person holding our highest elected office is truly a man with little conception, for that matter connection, to the America that most of us hold dear. He sees America as a canvas upon which it is job to paint some enduring legacy. But instead of a man with a vision, he is like a surprised lottery winner, ready to throw around other people's money in order to build himself up while engaging in massive waste.

Just loved that last paragraph or so... With all that Love our Country, Liberty and Justice, Support our Troops, Land of The Free etc: WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING!! (all of which my wife and I believe in and practice) However, because of Corruption and Moral Bankruptcy in our Riverside Ca. Superior Ct. and City of Norco Government; all of those rights and protections have been denied us.. And that is said not just as Immigrants (Dec 11,1960 for me, and 1985 for the Mrs.) who never took one penny from Welfare, Unemployment, Workmans comp; no food stamps, and not one day of paid vacation... NOT ONE!! And not one day of hospital/medical coverage; which we both (as U.S. Citizens are o.k. with). But the www.scdtspotlight.com is still planned for "Documentry" Exposure... Pat. 951-2647103

Beautiful ending Mark, thanks for the list of lies, half truths, and downright bunk.

While reading Mark lambast Obama, I couldn't help but think - "myopic!", "myopic!" Mark's litany of complaints was so long that I was eagerly awaiting the end. Don't get me wrong, Mark's criticisms are dead-on and well-deserved but I've heard or thought of most of them before and there's a whole other side of the misery to complain about - the Democrat congress. We can't be so hyper-focused on the boob in the White House that we become blind to the congress!!! As so so so many conservative pundits have pointed out, CONGRESS IS GOVERNING AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Folks, this is serious. Roughly 2/3 of America has said "no" to the Democrat congress' initiatives, yet they persist to impose their will upon us, ram their regulatory bills down out throats, and run roughshod over our Constitution. This is insubordination at a minimum. We must wake up and smell the coffee, and run these hoodlums out on a rail.

If you took your car in for a new muffler, trusting your mechanic to replace only the muffler, with original quality parts, and charge you a fair price... And instead he disregards your request and replaces the entire engine with a different one, built in timbuktu, half the size of the perfectly-fine original, and expects you to gladly pay for his work, that you didn't want, how would you feel? Good? Bad? Betrayed? Raped? This would definitely be a bad day. Do you think you might have a legitimate beef with your mechanic? Do you think?!!

This, and more, is exactly what the Democrat congress is attempting to do with health care and the other big government initiatives that we're all so alarmed about. Rather than creating taxpayer-requested legislation for us, they are creating taxpayer-rejected legislation to enchain us. Do you think we should have a legitimate beef with them? Do you think?!!

If you think I'm mistaken, I can solidify the point by simply purveying the notion that we have a congress nearly half-full of Obama think-a-likes. Imagine if Pelosi were president. What kinds of draconian initiatives might she attempt? What about Harry Reid? - same question. Chris Dodd? Barney Frank? Maxine Waters? And the list can go on and on and on.

And we thought the liberal Bush was bad. He's a pathetic pansy compared to these snakes.

but the Obama White House has created many new jobs...in the government and its affiliate sectors.

would the PatriotPost do the research and reporting on how many have been created and the costs to create them and how much they are paid by the taxpayers, etc...

that needs to be more clearly reported to the public

thx

Sir:

Certainly I am glad that Mass. elected Mr. Brown. He seems like a good guy, and smart. It is good that he will be a significant addition to the number of GOP'ers in the Senate. However, I don't know yet how conservative his ideas are, and what issues he will support. I have seen him state in interviews that he will vote against the Senate health care reform bill as it is not good for Mass. But he also said that he did vote for the health care plan in place in Mass. Is it one of the state plans that is bankrupting states?

Hello,

I have been reading your comments for some time now. I was very interested in the picture of Obama at the top of todays Alexanders Essay,Janurary 21, 2010. He has a very dishartening look on his face, as if he is telling us what he is thinking. He looks like he is saying you can go to He#$. Also take a good look at the finger he is leaning his forehead on. Is this an indication of what he thinks of the American Public and where he expects us to go.

Think about it. Paul

Thanks, Mr. Shipley, for your inquiry about New Senator Brown. I, too, am concerned and have asked that someone from Massachusetts might enter into this discussion, but I don't think we've heard from any????? Have I missed their comments????

I am from Tennessee and we had a form of "Health care" and it is horrible. It was getting so bad that the State Legislature and the Democratic Governor were using those words, "Bankrupt the State". There are "NO FREE LUNCHES" and the government that tries to convince the citizens that there are, we'd better "MARK" them.

THANK YOU for being there. I am over joyed as I read your articals. Our country is and has been under fire for a long time, many not aware, many never appreciated the right of FREEDOM bought and paid for by the hard work and sacrifice of their countrymen. Many 'Obamarites' just didn't know, didn't understand, thought something for nothing was a good deal. Well...it never was and never will be. They are obligated to know and to make good choices when handleing important matters such as 'my country'. Lets hope eyes have been opened.

GOD bless the U.S.A. and thank you for your service.

WLS radio, AM 890, Chicago

Don Wade and Roma show with Andy Shaw, long-time ABC 7 TV political reporter, as substitute host.

Andy was interviewing Terry Moran, Nightline anchor. The discussion migrated over to what the Obama administration will do in the wake of the Massachusetts election results, when the People spoke loudly, rejecting Obama and the Democrats' agendae. Apparently, Terry's sources tell him that, fearing a decline in popularity for Obama, the president's top political advisor, David Axlerod, is planning to "repackage Obama".

"Repackage"? Repackage? As in... disguise? As in... painting stripes onto a horse to get a zebra, for example? As in... trying to hide something's true nature? Yes, that's it.

Relating to politics, does Axlerod plan to somehow repackage Obama by attaching an elephant's trunk to the face of that jackass? Would that make Obama's socialist "hee-haws" any less shrill? Or maybe Axlerod thinks that when his jackass boss, once again, stubbornly settles back onto his haunches into his socialist mudhole quagmire, Axlerod can yank on that trunk a bit and drag the pathetic jackass to the right?

Folks, this is smoke and mirrors. You can crop the ears of a jackass but it will still be a jackass.

Get prepared for some big political maneuvering ... some big ass-covering.

One of the best, if not the best articles to date. You guys are so awesome! Keep up the good work.

Veritas vos Liberabit!

To JULIA who said, "but the Obama White House has created many new jobs...in the government and its affiliate sectors." and was asking the PatriotPost to publish some facts and figures about this:

You might be interested to know, several pieces ago, Mark Alexander presented some facts that showed the average government worker makes somewhere around $30,000 more per year than the average private sector worker. I found that statistic astonishing and alarming. The government creeps are creating make-work jobs for themselves at an ever-increasing rate. The employees are making more than their employers!

I don't remember Mark's exact numbers but if you're lucky, maybe he will republish them, or maybe one of the other commentors will send them again.

My liberal buddies are reading over my shoulder as I read this, it's hard not to challenge them on Obama's lies and outright disrespect for us, the people. This is our nation, not his, and your ending was a great compliment to that fact.

In response to Mr. Timmerman's comment. Sir, you miss the mark. The Post IS Proactive. The reason our nation has fallen from grace is because we have become self-indulgent, complacent, and promote ingorance; a true "Bread and Circuses" society. The Post is educating those that seek truth; those that desire to make a difference in restoring our Constitutional Republic to its former glory. Read your History (factual history) and you will see that no correction in our degredation can take place until the citizen are educated in historical fact and take responsibility for their civic duty.

You are correct about the greed and powermongering in Washington. Who is responsible for controling it? WE are at fault for putting the worst of choices in position to abuse their trusted power. WE are to contain the power and greed. Therefor, WE educate and act. Just as the articles in The Post do. Also, their promotion of their Essential Liberty Project. Look at their credentials. The organizations activist groupsthey are members of and their devotion to teaching the ignorant public as to the truth of God and Country. What are YOU doing to make America a better Republic?

On a lighter note. Even in Ireland, where patriots are commies, BHO is pronounced "woe". Tiocfaidh ar la. Anois ar theacht an tsamhraidh.

"Our day will come. Sunny days are near."

In response to Julia: I am a retired military defense contractor, or rather I work for a small contracting company. We were working on a 1 year contract with four option years (commonly called a 1+4 contract). This particular contract was started Oct 08. I was laid off last week because somewhere higher than the local base said to end it. The Base was going to hire GS workers to do the work in the future. They may hire me, but when? Our "customers" were floored by this decision and caught totally unawares by this, they have a lot of work that was awaiting funding, and now nobody to do the work. I believe IMHO that someone higher wants to get rid of all govt contractors and replace them with higher paid GS jobs. Too bad that person has no idea or doesn't care about the people who have bills to pay and no income until "they" get their new department up and running.

I suspect that this is happening all over the country.

2012 can't come soon enough for me.

I especially like it when the nutroots posting liberal gibberish (not based on fact, reason or intellect) get educated by the "Editor's Reply".

Your article has hit the proverbial nail on the head! This is your best editorial to date. Thank you, Patriot Post, for standing up while most postulate to excess.

I believe the picture is worth much more than a thousand words. The position of the left hand and the look of disdain on his face says it all about his feelings for America and its people. Socialism is all he understands. But than I believe that in order to understand the American vision, you have to be an American.

I believe everything happens for a reason. After only one year in office, the people have spoken, and Obama is on his way to losing power, thank God. Would the people be having protests and demanding those in Washington listen to us, (from both major parties,) if The One wouldn't have been elected? I'll bet even Oprah's changed her mind! This all happened so quickly, it gives me hope for real change, let's keep on that path and not forget our purpose. Thank you so much for being a source of inspiration for the readers. God bless.

I just want to say that I love you all, especially you Mark! I wish I could be as eloquent as most of you are. We must be ever vigilant. The libs,marxists,progressives, etc. will not stop, they will only change tactics. Good people that actually love this great nation most be ready to repel them whenever and wherever necessary. What occurred in MA was only a battle, the war to save our great republic rages on!

Looking at the picture which is posted with is article, this man is arrogant. A one finger salute, come now.

Greed and self-interest is what drives capitalism, people. Nobody creates goods with the intent to be totally altruistic. People who make cars in Detroit do not care about people around the country who buy these cars - they care that they have a job and are remunerated for their efforts. So, why are you demonizing greed in the pursuit of self-interest and the resulting of interest of consumers at large?

Do you think farmers brake their backs to work long hours to farm acres and acres of food in order to provide sustenance for everyone? No, they do it for self-interest, to provide a better life for themselves and their families.

Doctors work long hours for the sake of patients to a degree but also to provide a good life for themselves, for their families, to pay off huge college debts, to invent a new drug to help people, a new medical device, to win a Nobel, and/or remain in the history of medicine, etc.

Society benefits from greed and self-interest. Can harm come from unchecked greed? Of course.

Toni Hupp: You are correct! Until we take back our schools from "progressives," nothing will change, we will continue our downward spiral into oblivion and dictatorship.

I would go a step further, we should close ALL schools of education as they are breeding grounds for communists and indoctrinate future teachers into utopian ideals.

The curriculum is usually very short on substance, but loaded with philosophy of education classes, methodology of instruction, the latest con words for brainwashing, etc.

Tenure is awarded based on progressivism and, if a professor is conservative, forget about EVER receiving tenure.

The more "progressive" and radical a teacher is, the more awards and accolades he/she receives from the school/university or various NEA affiliated organizations.

These College of Education professors and students score in the bottom 50th percentile on any National Teacher Exam as opposed to Arts and Sciences graduates who score in the top 50th percentile and actually know their subject area of expertise. Yet, these Arts and Sciences graduates cannot teach nor receive a teaching license unless they go through the indoctrination process of the College of Education. In other words, the College of Education, the very breeding ground of communists, has a monopoly on our children's education.

To make matters worse, the NEA has devised a National Teacher Certification which allows its communist members to carry teaching licenses from state to state and awards them $6,000 extra pay each year for ten years! Under the supervision of a "seasoned" indoctrinator, an awardee must jump through the hoops of making a video and writing ridiculous lesson plans that bear no resemblance to what actually happens in the classroom. The final product is graded by carefully selected members of NEA.

Mark,

Unfortunately, everything you summarize in your essay is true. Unfortunately, many who helped elect Obama were deceived into thinking they would be getting something else. Fortunately for all of us, there is still time to correct the grave mistake we made in bringing this man, and these people, to Washington.

I have never been more disgusted with the American electorate as I have been this past year. The ignorance of our populace, of course, was part of the strategy of Obama. His team counted on it; they hope to perpetuate class division in this country to such a level as we have not seen in recent history. I, personally, have more hope for the "minorities" of this land, in seeing the errs of their ways, than I do of the intelligentsia in their fantasy world.

Fortunately, our country is waking up to the truth. Your essay, Mark, sobering as it is, is the most thorough critique I've read of this abominable administration. Thank you, and God Bless you, for your work and your service!

The photo of President Obama making a spledid gesture reminds me of something I noticed in the US Embassy yesterday morning. As Secretary of State Clinton had a traditional head and shoulders photo where the subject is centered in the frame with an American flag in the background, both President Obama and the VP had photos where they were significantly off-set to the left! So, as you look at the image, the flags are on the left, and the subjects left shoulder is out of the picture, of course offset to the right as you're looking at it, but indicating that the subject of the photo is leaning significantly to the left! I found this quite amusing that it would be so blatant. I'm sure someone just thinks it's "artistic and modern" I think it's just being who you are.

Your included sample tirade of Jeremiah Wright calls to mind the old story of the man who cursed this country in Revolutionary War days, and was condemned to live out his life aboard a sailing ship since no other country would have him. Since society is more liberal and compassionate nowadays, Wright should be provided involuntary transport to any one of a number of countries in which political dissent is sought for, and honored. Of course, Iran immediately comes to mind. My intended sarcasm falls flat, tho, since he already considers the U.S the great Satan, and would thus, fit right in.

I don't know the circumstances surrounding the first photo in the article, but I believe it clearly demonstrates Obama's attitude toward America and her people!

Great essay, Mark! And all this failure in only one short year. But, seriously, folks. Laying aside all the teleprompter rhetoric, all the "Hope and Change," all the continued harping on the shortcomings of the administration he inherited, exactly what good has Mr. Obama accomplished? I'm trying desperately to give the man SOME credit, but can unfortunately find none to spare.

Thanks for all the good work you do.

Your article was fantastic and right on the money.

God Bless you and keep up the good writing.

Our dear leader's latest kick in the face of his former supporters has been to send a Billion dollar present to Hamas, our and Israels bitter enemy.

The Ayatollahs in Iran must be laughing about that as they refine their Uranium!

AIG was too big to fail. The big three automakers were too big to fail. But who will bail out America? America isn't too big to fail. Rome wasn't too big to fail. Nor Assyria, nor Egypt, Sumer or the USSR.

Only one complaint btw Mark. I do believe everyone should be quoted accurately. I know the "Reverend" Wright's words were shocking but they ought to be printed as they were spoken. America needs a shock. The "Reverend" Wright has said similar things about God too by the way. I wonder what or who the "Reverend" Wright reveres.

I know that the nationalists are waiting for patriots to slip once again into their torpor and allow the machines to once more use us for power, the vampires to harvest our blood (is it any wonder movies like "The Matrix" and "Daybreakers" are so popular?). Patriots must never close their eyes, never take the blue pill - to do so is to allow the chains to fall unnoticed about their necks.

Take shifts; wait back-to-back; keep your powder dry. God be with you all, Brothers and Sisters!

Thank you. If the Left ever figures out who is financing the Left and why; well, how do you spell EMBARRASSED"? Thanks for the work you do. It's time to finish the Revolution started in 1776.

I guess I do not like the photo of Obama giving all of us the finger even though he has screwed all of us over. The photo is a doctored one and therefore not in to good of taste. Thanks for your paper it is great. DR Brown

The following was written on January 21, 2010 at 12:06:04 PM by Mike B. and Dan Brown also complained about the photo today at 3:19 PM.

Before they complain too much I'd like to say that I have two videos from the campaign where Obama does EXACTLY the same thing to Hillary Clinton and John McCain. If they don't believe me, that's too bad. I recommend going to YouTube or googling Obama, Finger and Hillary to find it. If they care to find the truth.

"Today I see a photo of the president "giving the finger". I usually appreciate your humor, but I do not appreciate this attempt. It seems the photo is "doctored" to give the impression he is "flipping us off". We don't need a doctored photo with a vulgar message to form an oppinion (sic) of this man. We know how he is by his words and actions. Please, keep the humor on the decent side. There is no need really to stoop to a photo trick that one may expect the "other side" to play.

~Mike B., Bluefield, VA

Editor's Reply:

The photo is absolutely not "doctored." Obama has a well-known habit of employing this subliminal message with his adversaries. At present, it would seem that is the majority of America.

We have all heard of the Yeti, otherwise known as the abominable snowman, a mythological creature.

Get ready for the Obamanable snowjob, a frightening and all too real flesh and blood creature.

Amen, Brother.

Thanks you for eloquently speaking your mind and the cold hard truth.

Please continue.

Thanks,

Mark. I am still befuddled as to why the press hasn't made a bigger stink over Congress' personal Health Plan. I find it inexcusable and unconcionable that they (Congress) are so narcissistic as to boldly, "in your face" declare that they should be exempt from the hideous plan they wish to unload onto us. Oh, well, what should I expect from a group that also votes on their own pay raises and all other benefits? My idea for term limits would start with the minimum age requirement...make them ineligible to serve until they turn 65...and then have their pay scale set at their personal Social Security level.

We were a CHRISTIAN majority nation and intitled to all of Gods blessings. With the election of the devil we have become a christian minority nation and can only receive limited blessings from God.

We are in the fight of our generatin and the outcome is not sure. To the walls! defend our God given constitution! Are we no less than our Grandfathers who vanquished the evil of their time?

Beware of the oily words from the slick salesman for if we heed them we are decieved.

For God and Country hold the colors high

The first speech I heard this guy give way back in his early exposure to the public, I decided he was a total phoney. Being an old proofreader for a regional daily, I listen to a speaker differently than most folks. I am "reading" his words as he says them. He didn't say one damn thing. All "word salad". He still keeps making speeches that way. His speech tutoring is obvious by the rising then dropping off tones in each of his words. When he gets befuddled by a reporter's "bad" question he reverts back to his "original" no teleprompter speech style which can often expose just a touch of ebonics style in it.

What ever possessed the people of these United States to vote for this loser in the first place?? If it were for a history making event, that will surely come to pass, as Obama will be labeled as the worst President of these wonderful United States that this country has ever had! I am sure he will be allowed to finish his term, but if the American people, in their infinite (or should I say infantile) wisdom, allow him a second term, we may as well kiss our constitution good-bye!!!
