Amen.

Amen!

Your article on the Easter celebration is very good. Your comment about the leftists using Jesus' words to justify their actions is well taken. While I am no judge and to say there are no Christian liberals is totally unreasonable using those words for such things as Obamacare is tragic. The real issue is that those who think that way believe that humans as a whole won't take care of other people. The believe that the government is the only entity with enough compassion and heart to take care of those in need. That is not the world as I see it. Just one example to make the point is the Salvation Army. As far as I know they take care of a significant number of people and don't enslave anyone in the process. That can not be said about governments in general.

As we Greek Orthodox say after midnight Saturday, "Christos Anesti!" (Christ has risen!) Happy Easter to all of you, and thanks for what you are doing.

I wonder if industry had spent as much money on teaching about Unity rather than diversity would that money not have been a better investment. If we in the United States had a common purpose, support the constitution, a common language and Unity, would we be in this mess? No! I believe diversity training about differences leads to the old battle of who is most important! Actually true diversity is nothing more than skills, traits, talents and abilities, not differences. The skill needed is most important at any precise time. Color, sex, national origin, age, etc. are not important, just differences. What you can do for your fellow man is most important, not what your fellowman can do for you because of your EGO!!!!!!! About what, my color, sex or age?????? We got messed up somewhere didn't we and the politicians and various media sources and organizations make money while we continue the argument. Let's quit trying to decide whether we are better ...White vs. Black. Use your abilities for the good of mankind. I believe that service was the religion of the Christ, the operative word for LOVE! If the various religious groups would lead the way to UNITY would that not be wonderful!

one small correction, if I may. Jesus was/is The Christ. "Christ" was NOT Jesus's last name.

Amen Mark.... Amen! Should we all stand up morally straight in our place as well as seek to elect the same to lead our great country!

Thank you for your faithful witness and call to remember our Nation's Heritage, and the words of our Lord. Thank you for not compromising on either, as so many others do in their attempt to be politically correct. Your publication is a beacon of light on a hill.

Mark,

Bravo and well done! What a refreshing article pointing the way to the Savior of the world! I am blessed beyond all measure by the steadfast love and care given by the Father, the true ONE, who saves me from everlasting damnation. May all Patriots of all faiths take solace that our Founding Father's bravery and principled stands will once again be repeated in THIS generation!

Happy Easter to all of you and keep up the good fight. We cannot fail this folks.

To God only be all glory.

Soli Deo Gloria.

Amen, and amen.

I would like to thank you for taking time away from what our government is doing to give time to remembering why we celebrate the Easter Holiday. We must always remember that the government is on HIS shoulders. It is because of Jesus that we can have peace in the middle of turmoil and we can rejoice because we know the battle was won on the Cross. May we all have a joyful and blessed Easter

I grew up in Davenport and attended Holy Family grade school, St. Ambrose Academy and St. Ambrose College. I was greatly dismayed upon hearing of the blasphemy perpetrated in the name of "tolerance".

Yet another reason to never go back.

To you and all the gang @ The Pat. Post. - Happy Easter! Thanks for the eloquent reminder of our Lord's resurrection! In these times, the words of Tony Campolo are especially encouraging . . .

"it might be Friday - but Sunday's comin'!"

contrary to the Rev. Wright,..God bless America!!!!

May we never become 'Lukewarm" as a nation. Keep up the fight!

Now tell me what this means:

Semper Vigilo, Fortis, Paratus et Fidelis!

I enjoyed this article immensely. We need such items to remind us of just what we are.

Thank you so much for delivering the TRUTH! May God Bless you all on this GOOD FRIDAY and throughout the EASTER Season.

John Lounsbury

Someone should enlighten Mr. Hart regarding the Constitution. There is no phrase or provision in the Constitution regarding "separation of church and state".

The 1st Amendment is quite clear: "Congress shall MAKE NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion....". The phrase "Good Friday" does not violate the 1st Amendment.

Mr. Hart should take a tour of the government buildings and courts in Washington D.C. and take note of all of the Christian references built in to the buildings. Educational standards in Davenport evidently have sunk to a new low.

If I heard correctly concerning the Davenport, Iowa,

incident the city administrator had to put Good Friday back in the rhetoric because the citizenry gave a great verbal outcry. I really hope I heard

correctly.

Laus Deo.

Mark, thank you for your words of encouragement and reminders that no matter how dark the night, hope comes in the morning. Politically, that may or may not be true any more in our great nation; but eternally, we know it to be true and I deeply appreciate your committment to absolute Truth. As the old hymnal says, "this world is not my home, I'm just a passin' through."

"It's Friday, but Sunday's comin'!"

I hope you enjoy your Easter break. Do remember, though, that even though "separation of Church and State" is not in the constitution, that great document was carefully set up to make a secular government. Religion is a matter of private conscience, and government is a grim necessity for all.

As an Agnostic I was willing to sign the declaration because you used the non-believer-friendly "Creator" and "Nature's God" language from the founding documents. Please do keep in mind that there are a lot of us out here, and that solid allegiance to the constitution does not require any kind of religious faith at all.

Wow, what a great post! You've really outdone yourselves this time.

Thank you! Thank you!

We need more people of Faith.

May God bless you and your work via this paper, as well as you personally.

Keep up the good work.

Jim.

At least the writers of Patriot Post have some moral courage. It is very distressing to witness the moral degradation of our country. Hopefully with faith and prayer, the kind of change will come to our country

that will stop the erosion of our freedoms.

Your Easter article and Good Friday comments are superb, extremely appropriate and deeply appreciated by me! I have sent your article on to our Pastor and his wife. Would that his sermon could be half as good!

It is an unfortunate thing today that so many of the clergy and ministers have accepted the liberal attitude even to stating that this is no longer a Christian country! The facts belie this but that doesn't stop them for making the statement.

I do not know of another religion throughout recorded history that exhibits the compassion, understanding and needs of the individual to the extent espoused and preached by Jesus.

Too bad the Golden Rule has become so tarnished and the Ten Commandments have been relegated to suggestions only.

Thanks for your article. I, for one, greatly appreciated it.

A marvelous essay! You expressed my thoughts and beliefs so well. Thank you!

I very much look forward to reading my daily Patriot Post, but I am always disturbed by the following assumptions: American = Patriot = Republican = Christian. The implication is to be a patriotic American; one must be Republican and Christian. I agree with the patriotic part, but the others do not add up or are factually not true.

"Many Religious Right activists have attempted to rewrite history by asserting that the United States government derived from Christian foundations, that our Founding Fathers originally aimed for a Christian nation. This idea simply does not hold to the historical evidence.

Of course many Americans did practice Christianity, but so also did many believe in deistic philosophy. Indeed, most of our influential Founding Fathers, although they respected the rights of other religionists, held to deism and Freemasonry tenets rather than to Christianity."

Do some research on the origins of Easter. I was thoroughly enjoying reading this edition - up until I read the word. You only used it twice in this edition, but you used it. You only used Resurrection Sunday once. Christians who love the Lord should never EVER use that word. I only recently discovered the truth about Easter, but since I have, I made a vow that I would never use it again in connection with Christ's resurrection.

Best holiday essay ever! Nicely done and Happy Easter!

AMEN! Thank you so much for your beautiful editorial. It is such a pleasure (and unfortunately a surprise as well) when I read such faithful, inspiring words on a public website. The truth shall indeed set us free and I thank you for standing up and sharing them with the world. God bless you all and have a beautiful Easter. :-)

Dear Mr. Alexander,

Thanks for making my day a little brighter! Wishing you and yours a Happy Easter.

I have sent an email to Tim Hart of the Davenport, IA Civil,

Rights Commission asking for clarification of his "Separation of Church and State" comment. We'll see what response I get.

I would ask a favor. Would you translate the Latin at the end of your posts for me?

I remain, Yours in Freedom,

Resurrection Day 2010: what a marvelous editorial piece. Absolutely the most uplifting reading I've seen in a long time. Thanks so much for your steadfast resolve to honor God and First Principles of the Founding Fathers.

Amen and amen! May God bless all of you and your families this Easter and into the future.

Thank you for all you do.

Sincere thanks for the tasteful and wonderful reminder; and I just wanted to emphasize the fact that EVRY HUMAN BEING that ever lived/s falls in one of two groups: Those who truly believe in the truth of the Soverign God, and those who believe the MOST ANCIENT LIE 'you shall be like god' that the devil deceived Eve with in the Garden. Unfortunately, many fall for it, and the whole world pays the consequences.

Your comments about Jesus prescription for caring for others being individual responsibility and not governmental is right on. There was nothing in the passage of the "widow's mite" that put the government in between her and the poor box. Nor did the Good Samaritan deem it necessary to notify the authorities to take care of the man beset by thugs - the example was of his own neighborliness. We won't get to heaven by giving government our personal responsibilities.

Thank you for the wonderful Easter commentary.

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.............

It is such a joy to read a publication that espouses Christianity and makes no apologies. I agree with everything I read on your Post and am so glad I have the privilege of subscribing to it. I forward it quite a lot but I don't really know if I am doing it right or legally.

I truly believe Jesus Christ will relieve from the dictatorship under Barack Obama. He has always stepped in when we really needed him and I don't think this will be any different. In fact, this is probably one of the times we need him the worst.

The liberals apparently cannot read. The constitution, when written, says NOTHING about removing religion. It simply states that there will be NO state religion. ie; the Church of England at that time.

Thank you Mark and our brothers and sisters of the Patriot Post. Happy Easter and may God bless.

John.

GOD bless the Patriot and Amen to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!

As always, you have again stated in simple but clear terms the heart of the Bible message and answer to the greatest needs in our Nation. (Resurrection Day 2010) "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" is a 2-sided coin. I fear we are going to see the flip side much too soon, and that will be "Cursed is the nation that despises the Lord." Thank you for reminding us of the roots of our liberty as well as our biblical, Christian foundation. It may not be politically correct, but it is the truth!

Mark,

Very well said. One thing nice about Good Friday, the holiday, is that there is no mascot - no Santa and no bunny. One either lives in total ingorance of the day's meaning, (it would be an interesting "Leno on the Street" poll) or one ponders the historical evidence for the day.

A JOYOUS EASTER TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joan

AND GOD BLESS THE USA

Beautifully expressed! It is through Jesus Christ that we, as Americans, are free and it is through his resurection that thre is a renewal, a rebirth and a rejoicing in the land we love despite the inordinate threats of moral decay and hatee He espoused love and it this love that will combat an d destroy the evil. God bless you.

joseph

Thank you for your inspiring words. I have been in a state of anger and helplessness as I watch the destruction of this great country of ours. I continue to pray, to write, email and call my so called representatives and quite frankly have found it all in vain.

Thanks to God and you (He gave you the ability to reach out to me and many more like me) I can pick myself up and continue the good and righteous fight.

Happy Easter

The animus towards Christianity is often bizarre. I saw today where some Muslim students at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, are demanding that the phrase "in the year of our Lord" be removed from diplomas ostensibly because it is an insult to their religious beliefs. Why then are they attending a private, supposedly Christian university?

It's so good to see the gospel in a publication without profane and abusive terms. Have you see the picture of Obama worshipping in a mosque? It should be on the front page of every paper in the United States - especially since he canceled the Day of Prayer at the White House in order "not to offend anyone" - well let me tell you I'm offended!

Mark,

Thank you for standing firm on Biblical truth and Christian/conservative principles. The service you provide is desparately needed in these days of satanic attack on truth and liberty in our great nation. "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death" (Prov. 14:12). That's liberalism in a nutshell.

Wonderful! The Patriot Post comes just after my morning devotional. Thank you so much for everything thing you do. I support your mission 100%. Keep up the good work.

Thank you to all of you at the Patriot Post, for helping to keep informed those of us who love our country and love liberty. This is sent to wish you rest and a beautiful and blessed Easter Sunday. Sincerely, Trudi Watkins

Thank you for this day's comments on the Patriot Post. Although it was old news, it is the best news ever.

God bless,

John

Well, stated. Have a blessed Good Friday and Resurection Sunday.

This is one of the most powerful Easter messages I have read or heard in my almost 85 years of existance on the planet. It is a great witness for Christ and a great credit to the leadership of the Patriot Post and is genuinely appreciated by this subscriber....WLG

Dear Mark Alexander,

Today, April 1, 2010, in your "Resurrection Day 2010: All Things New", you make reference to Davenport, Iowa, City Administrator Craig Malin removing Good Friday from their municipal calendar.

His defense, Davenport's Civil Rights Commission chairman, Tim Hart, declared that "Our Constitution calls for separation of church and state." Mr. Hart shows his ignorance of the Bill of Rights. It does nothing of the sort, but quite the contrary.

In our defense of such atrocities and blasphemy, we tend to unnecessarily cite court precedence. We should recall the old saying, "When all else fails, consult the source."

The First Amendment says nothing of separation of church and state. It does state (and I quote verbatim), "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...." Government is not to interfere, period. Mr. Malin & Mr. Hart are both guilty of violating the First Amendment by "prohibiting the free exercise thereof." What's more, I assert that the U. S. Supreme Court misinterpreted that Amendment by their introduction of the false words, "separation of church and state."

That is contradictory to and repugnant to the Supreme Law of our Land. And, in Marbury vs. Madison, US, 1803, the high court ruled that any law which is contradictory to and repugnant to the Constitution is null and void. No citizen is bound to obey it. And no court of law is bound to enforce it. That ruling still stands.

Further, it might be argued that Mr. Malin and Mr.Hart are jointly and severely both in violation of US Criminal Code, Title 18, Sections 241 & 242 and the US Code, Title 42, Sections 1983, 1985(3), 1986 & 1988, to wit: conspiring together to deny the citizens of Davenport, Iowa, their lawful rights under the statutes (i.e. First Amendment specifically). Upon conviction, they could be fined $1,000 or sentenced to 1 year in federal prison or both.

I'd suggest to them that they might want to think about that for a while before they, without qualified counsel, make up their own rules.

Thanks for all you do for patriotism.

Sincerely,

Norman R. Malmberg

I am a politically conservative atheist. I believe religion and politics are separate, and am wondering why "The Patriot Post" is sending me religious essays. Please not that I am not denigrating anybody's religious beliefs, I am simply wondering, "Huh?"

If you want to re-name your organization to "The Christian Patriot Post" I will happily remove myself from your mailing list. Otherwise, I suggest you reconsider sending out religious messages, as you are alienating otherwise like-minded conservatives...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. It couldn't be more clear. Our founding fathers never intended for God to be left out of public life. In composing the greatest governmental document ever written, the US Constitution, this document has as its basis the eternal laws of the creator of man as given to us in His Holy Word. Now why can't everyone accept that as it is without convuluting it and trying to make it something it was never intended to be.

Thank you Mark for a beautiful essay.

Patriotism and religion are separate emotions. I am patriotic but no one has presented to me any truth in religion. I don't need nor do I appreciate this religious dogma.

Color me invisible!

You know what IOWA stands for? "Idiots Out Walking Around". City Administrator Craig Malin fits the bill to a tee. OBTW, my mother, an Iowan, is the one who told me what IOWA stands for.

What a beautiful reflection. Mark Alexander, thank you for taking the time to write this post and remind us of President George Washington’s reverence for our Almighty God. I believe it is appropriate and good to be bold in our faith. Yesterday I was encouraged by my brief conversation with Dan Cathy, President and Chief Operating Officer of Chick-fil-A, at an event where I live. On his business card, the first line of their corporate purpose is stated clearly, “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us.” How refreshing.

Recently, I received my Levitt Letter from Zola Levitt Ministries. Zola Levitt was a renowned Messianic Jewish Bible teacher. Zola's perspective as a Jewish Christian has encouraged me. Specifically, in his essay, "He Is Risen", Zola explains that First Fruits is the biblical name of Resurrection Sunday. It can be found on their website on page 13 of the April 2010 Newsletter which can be downloaded for free.

It is hopeful that my conduct as a husband, father, Marine, and now business owner, though not perfect, has been a testimony to my personal belief in my Savior Jesus Christ. Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Mark,

Liberals, especially the ultra-left, are quick to quote the constitution and the Separation of Church and State. What none of these people realize; and, possibly a great many other Americans don't realize is that the prohibition of a Governmental religion was meant to eliminate the European model that required the citizens of the United States to follow a SPECIFIED religious philosophy. A great many of the people who left Europe in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s left because they were forced to believe in a religious philosophy against their will.

The Founding Fathers wanted to make certain that Americans could follow the God of their choosing, be He God, Jehovah, Yaweh, Allah, etc. without fear of some government functionary knocking down their front door and hauling the citizens off to jail. The Constitution was NEVER meant to prohibit prayer in school, Nativity Scenes on display at courthouses, the Ten Commandments on display in a Supreme Court Justice's office. The Constitution was written to protect the beliefs the Madelyn Murray Ohair's of this world. The constitution was written to protect anyone and everyone so that they could worship as they wish without fear of retribution.

The media elitists, the liberal elitists and the ultra-left have decided that they know what the Constitution means without ever having read the words and thoughts of the Founding Fathers.

Prayer in public schools is a good idea; just so long as the administration of the school doesn't force little Johnny or little Susie to pray in a manner that violates their parents wishes and teaching.

Mark, the piece I just read re: the cancelling of Good Friday in Iowa City or Davenport was one of the saddest things I've ever heard as a United Methodist Christian. Thanks for the entire piece on Easter and what it means to all of us as Christians. I especially thank you and your staff for exemplyfying your constant christian beliefs in all of your writings. Happy Easter

For Kevin, the politically conservative aethiest. To answer your "Huh?" question, may I answer it by referring you to the writings of our founding fathers, who clearly saw the soundness of grounding our new nation in the timeless, Christian moral values given to us by God. They had absolutely no intent of seperating politics and God. They had every intent of permitting each every individual to worship God as they wished, or to not worship at all, without any interference from the government. A true conservative is quite capable of tolorating the religious view points and opinions of other, along with the aethistic view points and opinions. It sounds to me as if you are intolerant...and thus more like our friends on the liberal left.

Thank you Patriot Post. I am so glad I found you. This Easter post is encouraging and uplifting during a tumultuous time for this country. God is sovereign and that is comforting.

AMEN & AMEN GOD Bless every man, woman and child in the world. CPO, USN, Ret.

Mark, I praise God that He put you where you are, doing what you do. This piece was a blessing to me in these times of attack by our own. The true perspective of life as God would have it, as displayed by the sacrifice of His son, Jesus, is something I needed to hear yet again. Your words are inspiring to me, much because I can feel the heart of God in their expression. You are well appreciated, my friend.

A former Marine, patriot, and devout follower of my Lord and savior Jesus the Christ.

Joyous Eastetide. Jesus spoke of what would happen to "people" like the City Manager & Civil 'Rights' Commissioner "Those who deny Me I will Deny before the Father"

Today's edition is another example of why you are my favorite website. This is beautiful and inspirational. May God bless you all!

Alex -- thank you for that reminder of the true meaning of Easter. When it comes to equating spiritual and corporate freedom, my favorite reference is Galatians 5:1 -- "Stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled with the yoke of bondage." Amen

Mike,

You are missing my point - why is "The Patriot Post" (which naive me thought was a political group) sending out religious messages? Let's spin this a little different... if you were a Mormon would you appreciate receiving exclusively Catholic messages (or vice versa)? I believe the same principle applies. I signed up for a political mailing list, not for a religious mailing list.

As far as our nation's founding goes, the Treaty of Tripoli was unanimously approved by the Senate and signed by President John Adams in 1797, and states "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion". There is also no mention of God in the U.S. Constitution. So you are entitled to your beliefs, but I can reference historical and legal basis for my position that religion has no place in government.

And, lest I forget, I wish you and your family a Happy Easter. :-)

--Kevin

Mark and all the staff, I would like to join my fellow patriots and believers in wishing you and them a Happy, Joyous, Ressurection Sunday and Easter weekend, and all the kids a great EASTER Break. He is risen indeed!

He is alive indeed! Praise God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! What love He has shown us!

God Bless

Mark,

I enjoyed and was impressed immensely by your wonderful Easter homily. Too, I pray and am satisfied you will ignore your sparse critics (God Bless Kevin et.al.) and hold to the traditional high Christian standards which have been a hallmark of the Patriot Post.

Thanks for your great work.

I sometimes forget that your political views are through a finely cut lens of Biblical faith.

I am routinley informed, blessed, encouraged and uplifted by the work of all of you.

I know that there are thousands of prayers going up for repentance and revival in our land.

Thank you for your most encouraging post. At the end of all of this, we only have the Lord, nothing else will do.

Amen and Amen

May each of you be blessed this Easter and throughout the years ahead in your endeavors to restore our Constitution to its rightful role in this free republic!! Thank you for your love of your country and the Righteous yet Merciful God who gave us our rights and freedom to chose who we give our allegiance to. He has shown His love for us in so many ways, but most of all in giving His one and only Son who paid the price of our many many unrighteous thoughts, words, and actions. We are so blessed that Jesus was willing and able to cover us with His Holiness (via His shed blood) so that is all that seen by Our Father in Heaven is the purity of His beloved Son. May God bless America and may America accept His grace and mercy instead of looking to everything but Him to heal her!

Thanks for posting the real meaning of Easter for all to read. God bless you and our nation!

Thank you for your words of spiritual truth today!

Hope you and your staff enjoy a refreshing, blessed

Easter weekend!

Keep up the great work you do!

God bless America!

The first amendment to the constitution of the United States reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof......"

When the constitution was written we already HAD a religion, that of worshiping THE GOD that was mentioned in ALL the beginning documents and the religious symbols on all our government buildings are part of the same.

How could a court of law say that the decorations and displays at government offices during Christmas be illegal? How could any government office say that we have to give way to muslim worship demands when we are not allowing our own people celebrate the religion under which we were formed? We have been flimflammed by people trying to destroy our religious heritage

Thank you very much for your commentary. It is easy today to get cynical or even angry at the stupidity in the world, which now seems to be centralized in Washington, DC US of A.

You remind us all, this too shall pass and ultimately his return will make all suffering worth the struggle.

Enjoy much needed rest, the fight continues.

God Bless. With the trouble we are facing in our nation today, God is still interested in testing the hearts of His people through attempted take-overs and such. In Christ, we have already the victory in our hearts, now share it with others or we will lose all that God has given us here. Again, blessings to you in our Lord Jesus.

I love your article on Resurrection Day ...keep up the good work....

Thank you this was one of your best posts yet because it reminds us of our true liberty that found only in Christ.

We were founded as a Christian nation. Anyone is free to leave and we would be better for it.

Moving away from God has created problems for us. Pray.

Great writing on the Love of God through Jesus Christ!

I believe without any doubt that GOD WILL watch out over those that believe in him, know who they are, where they came from and where they will go at the end of their life here on earth. God Bless all those that folloe him!! Simple! To the Point and the foundation on which this country was founded. Why are people constantly trying to seperate us from our faith and have us follow man. There are many great examples of leadership but none better than God and his son Jesus Christ. Many have tried and many have failed!More will follow.

Thank God for Jesus Christ who IS the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE FOR EVERYONE.

Yours for a Happy and Promising Easter,

Jim Collins

Thank You for the joy of reading your moving and inspirational Easter Essay. God Bless You!

Let's not forget as we discuss these things that our 'leader' has declared that America is no longer a Christan nation; and that in confirmation of this he eliminated National Prayer Day, but invited and encouraged a Muslim prayer day in Washtington DC near where his holds court.

Why is it that we pussyfoot around the fact that he does eveything allowed to the executive, and many things that aren't, to disdain and disregard the Constitution.

Thank you for sharing your beliefs. I myself am finding the returning road a difficult one to walk.

I am thankful of the reminder that the trial and tribulations of this temperal world are but passing things. I needed the reminder to keep my eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith.

The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord let his light shine upon you.

Happy Easter.

As a grandmother, I fear for our coming generations. I pray they will be able to decern Truth. I pray they will not be swayed by lies, bribes and false idols. I give Thanks that indeed......CHRIST has died. CHRIST has risen. Christ will come again!!!!

If you think I must be a Christian to be a Patriot one of us is wrong.

Observe your holiday as your beliefs dictate, and may we all live to see our country reborn as the Constitutional republic our forefathers intended.

And pray for the American Merchant Marine Veterans who also put their lives in harms way during World War II and all other wars and seem to be forgotten.

If you are a patriot and not a believer in Christ Jesus, the patriot message is in no way diluted by Mr. Alexander's belief or mine. I don't believe that he is proselytizing, merely stating his beliefs that this fine republic allows him to state in a public forum. You as well are allowed to state yours as you have already done so. We are patriot brothers for the sake of this great country. Let's not lose sight of that as I continue to worship my God and honor your right not to.

I was so encouraged to read your article today. Thank you for reminding we Christians that our hope is in the name of the LORD. May His mercy be upon our nation. May the LORD bless you, please keep up the excellent standard you have set. M. Flint

Your sentiments are nice even though they are erroneous. The holiday of Easter (Estarte) is really warmed over paganism with a Christan label. It's a celebration to an ancient fertility goddess. A careful reading of the scriptures will show that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, buried shortly before sunset on Wednesday, and was resurrected shortly before sunset on Saturday. By the time the women arrived at the tomb on Sunday morning, he was long gone. Jesus gave a sign that he would spend three days and three nights in the grave. The Wednesday to Saturday time frame fulfills that sign, while the Good Friday/Easter Sunday time frame fails. The bible condemns the practice of using pagan rituals to worship God. Apostasy was creeping into the church even while the apostles were still alive. We all need to study the scriptures to find out what the bible actually says instead of blindly following the traditions of men.

If the diversity loons were serious about honoring all while keeping state and religion separate, they would merely acknowledge Easter, Hanukkah, Ramadan, etc., equally and cancel the holiday vacation. Changing the name of a holiday is disrespectful and impugns the meaning of the holiday.

Of course, canceling the holiday vacation is no more required by the First Amendment than changing the name and it is considerably more risky politically.

Please interpret the latin phrase at the end of this letter. Thank you.

Dear Mark and staff; You are a blessing to our Country - of course I am preaching to the choir now- I truly appreciate your wonderful expression of Faith. Those who read your essays regularly, can read-between-the-lines and understand your deep faith in all the topics that you discuss. You live your life as GOD has intended - to know Him / Love Him / serve Him / and love your neighbor as one is to love one-self. Your service to each of us Patriots and our Country should not be taken for granted. May God Bless you always,

Christopher Freeberg

Kevin,

I am a politically conservative Christian who doesn't believe in Atheism.

I believe that Religion and Politics are inseparable.

Maybe God is arranging for your exposure to this message from the Patriot Post so you might actually begins wondering, "Huh?" concerning your impossible notion of atheism.

Impossible?

To be an actual atheist you would need a mind that could reach every star in every corner of the Universe and understand its turning, and every particle in every atom in every molecule, and understand their turnings. And every molecule's place in every living cell, and every cell in each creature and each creature in every world. To observe all these and find them Godless you would have to be...well, God! Which of course would make a mess of your initial hypothosis.

Then said He unto them, "But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no sword let him sell his garment and buy one." -- Luke 22:36

Kevin,

Please don't feel too all alone.

We are all equally atheistic by the implication of our travelings, which is why we need a government.

A nation of the truly faithful would not.

But our Founders were profoundly Christian and the basis of our law was consciously and quintessentially drawn from Judaic and Christian principal.

Their certainty was that only a deeply faithful Christian nation could succeed and prosper in freedom.

With no individual moral constrain within the populace what sort of national asylum can we expect, and how can anything but tyranny prevail?

Tell me where the moral constraint is found in atheism! It all works out because it feels nice to be good? Are you really ready to take that to the bank?

What an uplifting joy and pleasure to read All Things New and the supportive readers’ comments. Having been subjected far too long to the vitriolic political epithets of the left, it is a pleasure to note that even the limited negative comments were reasonably presented, and courteously rebutted. L.Weatherly’s accurate and reasoned response is an excellent example.

Kevin,

Wrote this yesterday, and I betchya can't prove it wasn't for you.

THIS IS MY WITNESS

I was alone at night / In a crackling frozen field / And broken / In every piercing icy point / The stars proclaimed God / His infinite distance /

His perfect indifference / And senses assunder I cursed / Every one of you that ever / Ever spoke the confusing / Name of Jesus / Who spoke to me? / Who lent me that notion? / As ever up, so ever down! / He who turns these stars / Turns atoms / And all between / What I cannot grasp / Does not His limit yield! / O night I knew that He could love me / O night I cried O Jesus come / No, not as our confused dream / But You Lord as You are!

God Bless you! The Grace of our Savior humble and lift you! The Holy Spirit fill you!

God Bless

My first time and I really thought it was great. I am going to contact the knuckle head from Iowa and challenge him to show me in print the separation and I will take him to dinner anywhere in the world he wants.

Thank you for a wonderful article. I just Praise God for your inspiration and insight on what the Lords will is for humanity and this country.May you and your families have a blessed Good Friday & Easter Sunday. Thank you for all you do for us through your support and volumes of information I am truly appreciative of that. God Bless you all.

I am reminded of what the Lord said to George Fox [1624-1690] He said There is one, even Christ Jesus, that can speak to thy condition.' When I heard it, my heart leaped for joy. It is my

responsibility to listen and obey the Lord’s loving call.Easter Blessings to all

well done

Thank you for this beautiful post. Wishing you and yours a Blessed Easter.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ...and I am thrilled to read such an awesome posting. Happy Easter! He is Risen, indeed!

That which a government takes by force of law is void of any blessing, for G-d does not bless that which is forced from a mans hand, and neither does He bless those which receive their gain through plunder. Thus it makes no difference how it is used after it is ill begotten in the beginning, any blessing it could have brought now becomes lost.

Amen, and God bless you all for keeping the faith.

A beautiful Easter message. Thank you.

Wonderful message of truth. Gives me renewed hope, replacing the bleakness of recent events and our country's state. Thank you for this positive message.

God bless you and the work you do. You have awakened a new spirit in me and I will be joining you This Easter in the celebration of our sins being removed by the grace and compassion of Jesus.

It must be wonderful to love,know and communicate with with such wonderful humans. Dan

Dear Mark

Thanks for so moving a display of the core of Christian values that defined our country in 1776. As the present administration of radical leftists attempt to dismember those values, let us all remember that Christ died so that we could live. We must all decide what "living" means. Living means living free. We must live free or die--like the Green Mountain boys said in the revolution. This is the truth that sets us free. It is that same truth that strikes fear in our leftist adversaries. Thanks again for the truth.

Dear Mark,

First... Happy Easter to you and your wonderful staff. Keep up the great work that you all do for us all... and God Bless You, sir.

Now to the hard part... While surfing the internet for letters editorials and other writings, from the time of the founding of our nation... I came across an editorial from the National Gazette, written in 1792, by the gazette's editor, Philip Freneau (he was chosen to run the paper by Jefferson and Madison). Freneau's editorial is titled "Rules for Changing a Limited Constitutional Republic into an Unlimited Aristocratic Monarchy" (you can use that title for your search). After I read this amazing editorial... I immediately read it again, for I could not believe what it said.

In my heart and soul, I think that I have discovered the Obama Administration's secret 'book of plays (like a college football team would have and conceal from all others, as it headed for the Rose Bowl championship game). Well... this is no football championship We the People find ourselves in, at this point in our nation's history. This is real 'life or death of the Republic' stuff and it MUST be revealed to our citizenry.

Please search it and take a moment to review this brief editorial, as I most sincerely believe, when applied to our modern day politics, any reasonable and educated Citizen WOULD CONCLUDE that IT is the Mission Statement and Guidebook (to the letter)... for those who are attempting to 'fundamentally transform' our nation and our treasured way of life... and it's been'hiding'in some archaive... out of sight from the voting public... for 218 years now.

Reading this editorial of Freneau's truly scared the Hell out of me!!! And, it clearly, with incredible detail, educated me as to exactly what We the People are up against... and the fight that is ahead of us all. You, sir... I trust completely. And I believe also that you sir... are the correct person to share this editorial with the American voting public.

I most sincerely await your response and comment.

In Liberty Everlasting,

Kenneth Edward Gillam of Portland, Oregon

Friends - You might want to take a look at the big picture as our very Sovereignty as a Nation is being attacked from within.  To be aware and then take up arms to protect her is honorable, but to be aware and not act is deplorable.   Challenging a special day giving honor to our Christian heritage is just one more small drop of poison that is destroying our Nation. Islam, which is endorsed by our President, is like a deadly Virus spreading throughout the land (World) that will soon destroy mankind if allowed to continue.  Be concerned because I fear the following has begun. 

"We can't expect the American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small dose of Socialism until they wake up one day to find that they have Communism." --Nikita Kruschev

Communism, Nazism, and Islam are "bed fellows" producing evil and destruction when they breed (Ref, Germany & WW II). What form of birth control do you recommend?  By the way, Islam is not a religion, it's a political ideology conceived by an illiterate man in the 7th Century to further his cause and get revenge on those who denied him.

May God (the one with the Son named Jesus) Bless You!

Fred Howard

Thank You. In times such as these it is easy to put the real meaning of life aside and live day to day. I pray this message touches others as it has touched me.

God Bless Tina

Mark, you made me proud reading your article, it's almost hard to believe there are still real Christians that can understand the real meaning of Jesus's resurrection and it "does" apall me to hear Capital Hill speak as if they believe.

Thank you

One Christian to another

For anyone wishing to know the context and truth of the Treaty of Tripoli, here is a good link:

http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125

Christian nation - yes. Christian government - no.

The Treaty of Tripoli was created during the first war of the newly-formed USA against jihad-practicing Muslim pirates.

Mark: I never cease to be amazed at the content and depth of your writings, especially this one on this special Resurrection Day 2010. Our diversity is to be observed, but not at the expense of dispensing with our heritage. Patriot Post is truly a treasure for all that it brings to light of the incredible thoughts and virtues and talents of the great men and women who brought us this constitutional republic continually under assault. I once had a meeting with a revered Dallas leader, Mayor Erik Jonsson, and I lamented about the assault on clean uncorrupted leaders and wondered about the eventual success of efforts for good clean government and questioned the fight. He said, "On my death bed, I will be fighting the rear guard action." We will never give up. Our adversaries will never let up and our God will never give up on us.

It bothers me that the media--newspapers, TV, radio - all refer the the bombers as the Christian bombers...I do not consider them to be christians.

However, what do they call the man who attempted to blow up the airplane in December? The Christmas Bomber! Now the Muslim Bomber!

Can someone explain why the difference? Why is the media so hypnotized by the leftist regime? I find it hard to think that so many good, intelligent people are in denial at the least...at the most, they are attempting to destroy our nation as it was meant to be....We need to pray hard for our country--and our world!

awesome message! thank you

Great article, keep the founding faith alive and preserve the truth about our nation's heritage.

I thank the Lord, our God, for you Mr. Alexander and the editorial staff for making this stand and statement for Jesus Christ and the truth of His Gospel. What an inspiration!

Thanks I think these words came at a time that they were really needed I can imagine that the disciples of Jesus felt the darkness of the time when Jesus was beat and mocked and being crucified and their hope was seemingly lost but 3 days later all hope and joy returned with the resurrection of Christ

We also must remember our hope and joy is in the death burial and resurrection of that same Jesus and not in the government

Without Christ, we have nothing! With Christ all things can be acheived!

This world,and who run it,will shortley find out the truth.The Lord shall return soon,as he has told us he will!

May God Continue to Bless You at the Patriot Post

and that continued Faith will guide you!

"To be an actual atheist you would need a mind that could reach every star in every corner of the Universe and understand its turning, and every particle in every atom in every molecule, and understand their turnings. And every molecule's place in every living cell, and every cell in each creature and each creature in every world. To observe all these and find them Godless you would have to be...well, God! Which of course would make a mess of your initial hypothosis."

Wow! Where in the wide wide world of sports did you get THAT definition. Atheism, like theism, is a matter of belief. The belief that no god exists. One does NOT need an understanding or knowledge of every particle in the universe to form a belief.

This is so true! Without this, there would be no hope.God Bless you.

I think that more than any other time it's Easter when Mark Alexander shows plainly why the Patriot Post is such an effective tool in promoting fundamental American qualities: righteousness, justice, liberty.

He know precisely where our freedom come from; "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

The Post continues to be an accurate and much appreciated reflection of the thinking of our founders.

Thank you, everyone at the Patriot Post.

Perfect for this day, Good Friday 2010.

May the Blessings of Easter be with all who read this.

Thank you so much for the beautiful Easter message.

How far we, as a Nation, have wandered from the solid grounding the Founders, by the grace of God, provided for posterity!

Certainly, from reading the Scriptures, we see the same story over and over again, of God's blessings richly bestowed, and people, becoming vain and self-assured and arrogant, turning away from His precepts, falling into debasement and decay. As the prophet Hosea said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6)" And while this refers specifically to knowledge of God, i do not believe that knowledge, as Truth, is differented.

We have been so blessed to have Founders who acknowledged the Sovereignty of God, and that from Him come our Rights... and our obligations. I certainly pray for genuine Reformation.

Thank you at Patriot Post for your faithfulness in providing information, AND knowledge.

May God bless you, your staff and families. May He bless your efforts on behalf of our Constitutional Republic.

I would like to comment on several of the postings reflecting on our Christian heritage and legal system. The United States was established by thoughtful and learned men who realized that the only way for the human race to succeed and prosper was though a belief in a Supreme Being - whether He is called God, Yaweh, Jehovah, Allah, Bhudda, Krishna makes absolutely no difference at all.

The most important part is that each and every individual in America has the right and the ability to believe as he or she wishes.

The Founding Fathers and their families were deeply religious and faithful; and, they encouraged all who followed them to be religious and faithful. However, the Founding Fathers knew what would happen if the United States were ruled by a religion based government. That is the same thing happened in England and France and Germany and the rest of Europe. Those in power FORCED religious beliefs on the citizenry of their respective country's. For those citizens who chose Catholicism over any Protestantism; the catholics were persecuted. For those who happened to be Jewish, they were persecuted regardless.

Granted, some people in America cannot get past the color of someone's skin, their religious belief, their national origin; but, times are much better now that they were 50 years ago, 75 years ago, at the turn of the 20th century. The reason for the awareness and tolerance is the Constitution that allows everyone to believe as they see fit, without fear of reprisal. THAT is what makes AMERICA great and the only country on this planet worth living in.

Remember when John Kennedy was elected President and there were stories about how the Catholics would rule America and the Pope would be in control? That didn't happen. If a Jewish person were elected President, no one would forced to convert to Judaism. Islam is a great religion when practiced according to the Koran. Remember that the "Old Testament" of the Bible calls for fighting and warfare to keep the world pure. We have outgrown that thought process. The true followers of Islam respect Jesus Christ and all of the Old Testament Jewish prophets.

It is the FANATICS that make Islam into something that is evil. The FANATICS only wish for their particular brand of Islam to be the "true faith." That is no different from the various Christian faiths in the world. The Catholics believe in this and the Lutherans believe in that. Episcopalians are called Catholic Light.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE should America be governed by a religious authority. At some point in the future, a FANATIC will come to power and screw up the whole ball of wax. The United States must remain a constitutional republic exactly as the Founders wrote the Constitution. ALL of the citizens have those rights as given by their Creator.

As much in this season as in the season of Christmas, let us remember Christ Jesus and what he won for us in His sacrifice and resurrection.

It is not about eggs or bunnies. It is not about candy or holiday time off (or even holiday pay).

This is the time to rediscover how we may - in our poor, limited, failing way - express our gratitude to Him by emulating Him.

Love Him with all that we have and all that we are, and love one another as He has loved us.

God bless you all, and God Bless America!

He is Risen, indeed!

Indeed, the truth will set us free. We are witnessing a great awakening throughout America as citizens everywhere are rejecting the oppressive crush of tyranny from this Administration. This is an army that will not be diverted from its path, and one that will protect and defend those God given "unalienable rights" we hold so dear.

Easter is the great reminder of both sacrifice and victory over evil. How truly blessed we are to openly and freely celebrate Christ's resurrection and it's meaning.

Praise God and thank you for a wonderful message!

This was indeed uplifting after hearing all the news reports today with the new politically correct style manual. Pilgrims today in Jerusalem retraced the steps that "Christians believe" Jesus walked. Pilgrims visited the hill where "Christians believe" Jesus was crucified. These are not items of faith, these are facts, documented by the Jewish leaders and the Romans. Notwithstanding the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where Christians believe Jesus was buried. Scholars can't really say definitively that this was the actual tomb or not, so that may be taken as an article of faith. I don't hear this style formulation for other faiths, particularly the Muslims.

This article is a good reminder that the Vince Lombardi method of reasoning works best: Start with the basics and work on them.

Jesus is the Christ. Before I make a judgment of any other person or decide to assert some supposedly superior opinion, first I remember that Jesus is the Christ and reflect upon His words and His teaching.

That seems to lead to discourse and moral results.

Blessings to all.

A most enjoyable essay. God bless and Happy Easter to all.

Hi Mark - As a long time resident of Davenport, Iowa (my birthplace), please know that we are a town made up of many Patriots and Christians. Please don't let the short sightedness of a couple of our city officials cast our fine city in an unfavorable light.

How can our most deeply-held and personal beliefs make “absolutely no difference at all” as Duke of Earl contends? Why do we need “TOLERANCE” if there are, ultimately, no basic differences in our ultimate beliefs?

This failure to discriminate is killing us. We do not achieve tolerance by pretending that all things are equal and the same. The evil is not discrimination, but FAILURE to discriminate. It is both evil and irrational to practice intolerance towards those who insist that truth is different from falsehood. All of us, whether we think ourselves religious or not, act from our deeply-held convictions. Not all beliefs are equal, but, in this the greatest nation in the history of the planet, you are free to believe and worship as you choose limited only by respect for the natural, Judeo-Christian God-given rights of others. These truths, not incidentally, are largely self-evident, Judeo-Christian truths that form the basis of our government. These truths are grounded in the faith that truth matters and is evident for all to discern /DISCRIMINATE. Not all world religions recognize these truths!

Fanaticism is not evil. One must DISCRIMINATE that fanaticism in the service of evil is evil. When the god of the Koran requires devotees to view others as monkeys and pigs and advance worship at the point of a sword. This is patently evil and irrational; the failure to DISCRIMINATE this makes us accomplices in our own destruction.

Fanaticism in the service of good and truth has done more on the earth to alleviate suffering than anything else. Which faith, which religion has done this best? Yet, which faith, which religion, is most hated and persecuted today? Is there not a concerted INTOLERANCE toward the Christian faith? Is there not a spiritual battle being waged in great deception and hardness of heart? Does truth not matter?

In defense of Christians, one must DISCRIMINATE those who have advanced Christianity at the point of the sword do so IN VIOLATION of the tenets of their faith. The faithful Christians are the ones who build orphanages and hospitals to care for the least in society, regardless of race, creed or color – because these widows, orphans, poor and distressed are made in the image of God. The faithful Christians are tirelessly working, as Mark Alexander, to shine the light of Truth in ALL areas of life, recognizing that there is unity in the issues of life and these cannot be truthfully compartmentalized into “politics” and “religion” and “family.” How many headlines do you read each day of Christians raping, pillaging and bombing for Jehovah? Yet these acts are done daily, around the globe, for racial, political and religious reasons. It is INTOLERABLE.

The answer is not to insist that nothing matters. The answer is to know that only the Truth can set us free and to insist that it matters very, very much in all that we do. Man must be free to pursue (or fail to pursue) truth as he is given power and inclination. Man must be restrained from his propensity to exalt himself in his “will to power” in violation of the rights of others. Our constitution guarantees these sacred principles and safeguards our liberties. We must defend it at all cost.

May God bless and strengthen Mark Alexander and his family!

Mark,

May God continue to bless and keep you and all the participants at the Patriot Post.

This Easter edition is a wonderful reminder of the incredible grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and of the true power of our Triune God.

The term "gospel" is perfect...Good News? ther is no better news. Happy Easter to all.

Wonderful article to remind us that although we must continue the fight to elect righteous men and women to political offices and we must shine the light on the wrongdoing in Washington D.C.; we must never forget that ultimately, it is Jesus who died to enable those who place their faith and trust in Him, to have the hope of eternal bliss with Him in heaven and to give us our goal and duty to be His followers in all that we do........for no other reason than for what He has done for us.

May you have a blessed Resurrection Sunday!

Wow! Thank you Mark and Thank YOU Julia Gwin!!!

Julia,Wish I could have said it that good! Your words should be printed in all newspapers in "Letters to the Editor" Also~

It is written~

"Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess" Isa.45: 21-24; Ro:14:11; Php.2:10.

That sure is enough proof for me!

Want that be a shocker to some people!!!!

May God bless you all

How very disheatening ! Having spent three hours this AM in solemn Bible Study of our Lord's Crucification, Death & Resurrection , I read this missile. As I read, I thought " How glorious! I will send it to every one I know". HOWEVER, you had to insert eighteen lines to get your political point across . That is certain to alienate some whom our Lord , in his style , would attempt to bring to his side,most definitely not alienate. Our Lord abhored those who attempt to divide & separate. His message was/is : "Concern for all ; bring them to his side."It appears your knowledge of our Lord and the Bible are quite lacking.

This was the first time I have heard of your organization. As the saying goes " You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

"The number, the industry, and the morality of the Priesthood and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the Church and the State."

~ James Madison a.k.a. 'The Father of the Constitution of the United States of America

"The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy."

~ George Washington

"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites."

~ Thomas Jefferson

"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion".

~ Thomas Paine

“As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”

~ Tripoli of Barbary. Art. 11. - Authored by American diplomat Joel Barlow in 1796, the following treaty was sent to the floor of the Senate, June 7, 1797, where it was read aloud in its entirety and unanimously approved. John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation.

Thank you for your essay on April 1.

Americans should have a thankful heart for the blessings God has showered on this country. I pray that we will get this country back to the foundation on which it was founded.

I appreciate the Patriot Post.

C. Carmany

Mark and all at Patriot Post,

A Blessed Easter to you all. May God give you all an abundance of illumination, wisdom and courage to continue the important service to America and all patriots. May God flood more assistance than we need to protect and defend American and sweep out these grave shadows! We are told "Call unto me and I will answer thee." and "Ask and you shall receive..." Let us call forth this promised help like never before. I don't forget the aid that came in Washington, Lincoln, Reagan. The American people CAN wake up, get educated and see the right way to go. Many have been shocked awake of late. Let's call for friends of the light in all government positions. Keep educating, and thank you.

Cheri

RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!

YESSSSS!!!

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!

Thank you for giving us HOPE for our nation. I hope there's still time to reclaim our heritage.

You wrote a great message on your April 1st essay. Praise the Lord! It's great to have fellow Christians who will stand up and tell what they believe. Keep it up Alexander.

I read with interest this "IOWA" decision by the "newly come up" "leaders".

The comment that the Constitution contains, "a Wall of Separation" from the Christian religion.

These "leaders" need to go back into the Archives of Iowa Supreme Court rulings and read what their Justices said about "The Lord's Day" "Sunday Excepted" Article I, Section 7, paragraph 2, Constitution of the United States of America.

1922 IOWA Supreme Court decision, - “In fact, the 1922 Iowa Supreme Court rejected the assertion that only one side of the Decalogue was important to American law, declaring:

“The observance of Sunday is one of our established customs. It has come down to us from the same Decalogue that prohibited murder, adultery, perjury, and theft. It is more ancient than our common law or our form of government. It is recognized by Constitutions and legislative enactments, both State and federal. On this day Legislatures adjourn, courts cease to function, business is suspended, and nation-wide our citizens cease from labor."

Guess what, folks, the Founding Fathers were not Christians, and the United States is not founded on Christian principles.

Thank you! He is risen! To God be the glory!

Mark,

Thank you for your excellent piece, "Resurrection Day 2010".

From the cross to the resurrection, in those three days, He changed everything forever: God and man now able to be reconciled in Christ Jesus for our good and to His glory. That is good news indeed.

Our sovereign God is the supreme authority over all men, nations and rulers.

Thanks so much for your faithfulness to Truth.

Judge Sturdy,

What law school did you graduate from?????? Your education is very deficient. Please state the name of that place, for who would send their young people to such a place.

If you think the Founders had no respect to God Almighty, you just do not know our Christian history.

May I suggest that you didn't read in your "precedent cases" the Supreme Court Decision of 1892, that declared this a "Christian nation".

Pity the people who must come under your "judgments"

I am a Reagan Conservative.

Your work continues to inform, elevate, and make me laugh. I distinguish it all from The Patriot Depot, which has insinuated itself into my email. I have unsubscribed with a comment to the effect that they are drafting off your elegant website and I didn't appreciate it. I think they should be sued. I told them so, and I meant it. I hope you do.

Nancy Gail Smith

Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging words! You are a mighty blessing to many, a strong sword of inspiration! Surely Our Lord Jesus speaks through you, His vessle! Thank you for who you are and what you do, and for your faithfulness!

Amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thankyou !!

Thank you for your "Easter Edition." The sentiments and faith expressed in the e-mail did much to explain Christian theology surrounding Easter and the idea of goodwill towards man. I am a Christian and am thankful to find others of a like mind and heart standing up for what we believe. May God Bless all the editors and staff of the Patriot Post and may His will be done.

Respectfully,

Fellow Patriots,

May the Lord keep and bless you and your loved ones. Thank you for all you do in the name of liberty and rightousness. Keep up the good fight, and know, your are not fighting alone.
