At first glance, in my email, I thought I was reading something that Alexander Hamilton might have written, in his day. THEN, I see who the real writer was, and the references to Jeffersonian-ism made much more sense.

I totally agree. The question becomes: How do we erradicate the damage done by the Hamiltonians throughout our History (oh, and the John Marhsalls, as well)..?

Do we actually have any Representatives in Office, anywhere, who are ready to eliminate THE FED, or quit over-spending FIAT currency?

Money was always meant to be the tool of the People. It was NEVER meant for the People to be "slaves to money" as teh Banking Cartels have achieved after the (silent) Revolution of 1913.

Can anyone answer my question?

Let's not forget that today marks the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg and that July 4 is also the day when Vicksburg surrendered to Grant. "And let me speak to the yet unknowing world / How these things came about. / So shall you hear

/ Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,

/ Of accidental judgements [sic], casual slaughters,

/ Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,

/ And, in this upshot, purposes mistook

What a great commentary...IOW...Hooorahh!!!!

The Progressives use language as a weapon. They contol context with it. We could start using Democratic Replublic in place of Democracy.

We could use Progressive and Conservative in place of Democrat and Replublican.

This would stop some o the circular double-speak and confusion the talking heads use to "muddy" evry conversation that keeps the "coolaid" drinmkers drinking.

De-centrailization down to the county seat level is the ANSWER. 50% all taxes paid locally...20% to Stateas for state infrastructure and security... 30% to National Government for national security and national infrastructure.

Locally provide evrything needed ...jobs/healthcare/wellness programs/education/fuel/food/water/represenative government/energ/local currency

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...". How can the peole go about legally altering or abolishng this destruction of America? What can we do when our government is devoid of ethics and respect for those who elected them?

Thank you for being the voice of reason in an increasingly crazy world. I am glad to make my donation today!

I wish you'd stop calling the Democrats "socialists". They're COMMUNISTS, plain and simple.

Paul B.

Please stop refering to Barry and company as socialists, they are communists. The socialists are the RINO's and CFR members in the republicrat party.

I just made a donation to your great and truthful cause. Im sorry I could not donate more, life is pretty hard to manage since they/them have been killing jobs in the beltway. Thankyou and God Bless

If Kagan's nomination goes through and she becomes a lifetime Federal judge we who value freedom, the constitution and all of the liberties that are inherent in that short, common sense document, will pay dearly as she moves her Statist philosophy forward.

Like Thomas Jefferson said before he died we must get fed up with this bastardization of America and become compelled through heart and mind to all stand up for the freedoms and the inalienable rights as stated in our Constitution.

Many of us are ready to give up our fortunes and our lives for the freedoms that are currently being taken away from us as a people and as a free country.

Our men in the armed services need to come home; the war is on American soil now.

We need more to talk and write this way,

Steadfast and God Bless

The people of this GREAT Nation need to wake up while we still have some Life, Liberty, and some means to Pursue Happiness left. The Government in power now (and in the past) are in the take away mode. The present Government must be voted out while we still have the means to do it. If they continue on the path they are on, it will be too late. We are being made SLAVES of those in power, in Washington. It's becomming like the Company Store, like the song-16 Tons. You owe your soul to the company store, but in this case, you owe it to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I hate feeling like this, but I feel thankful that my being over 70 years old, I won't see the final distruction. BUT, I feel sorry for my children, their children, etc...plus all of the next generationS. May GOD Bless and keep them safe, during and after the take over of a once Great Nation. Everything being done in Washington today is preparing this Country for a takeover by those in power or some other nation, wait, maybe they are the same.

With the recent news about the spies from Russia, should we not take a closer look into the halls of congress, the floor of the senate and even the Oval Office? These elected(?) individuals are certainly not conducting business, for the betterment of Americans. Foul-mouthed Biden talks to citizens as if they were serfs. I'd love to have him say something like to me, so I could show him a few things that I learned in the Marine Corps, before being shipped to Vietnam, which was a choice that I made by volunteering and requesting duty in Vietnam.

"Top Justice Dept. Official Lied Under Oath About Dismissal of New Black Panther Case, Ex-DOJ Lawyer Says" Fox News.com

This is just more of the same from this administration and black leaders. The men were video taped wearing black suits and wielding clubs outside the polling station.

Perhaps Obama, Liberals and the black congressional caucus believe this is just another example of the "white Man" out to persecute another poor, unfortunate black man.

Or perhaps they believe it is justified under some form of affirmative actions’ guidelines.

If this had been white men wearing white suits and holding ropes, does anyone believe this would have been left alone and not garnered so little media attention?

We have become a pathetic country where generations of white Americans and our children have been held hostage to blacks who continue to count on, and exploit, white man guilt. When will blaming the white man cease, claims of persistent discrimination end, and the demands reparations end. Let’s remember that slavery happened many generations ago by people who all of us had no association with.

I tire of paying the price as a result of historical injustices over 100 years ago.

Please allow for the expression of some frustration. I loathe the progressive, left of left statists currently empowered to cripple our economy, trample on our liberties and enslave our proginy as much as anyone could. But I refuse to forget that under neo-conservatism, compassionate conservatism, theocratic altruist conservatism, the seeds were planted, indeed fertilized for the weeds we see displayed all around the idea and ideal of American individual rights and a constitutional republic. Without conservative republicans believing they could grow government a little less expansively, pass laws for compassion sake irrespective of their violation of posterity's individual rights (think social security enhancement, medicare expansion, TARP, bailouts, etc.)instead of being the champion of individual rights, we would never be in the mess we find ourselves in today. In other words, blame first and foremost republicans who have ceded the principles and premises to avowed statists! Who is more corrupt- a statist vulture who clearly espouses a desire for power over all our lives or a republican conservative wolf who espouses freedom, constitutional values and individual rights but compromises these values at every turn and with every vote? Would conservative men of honor and integrity ever compromise their values and vote for bailouts time and again.? Ask them to explain what qualifications a Kagan personifies to rule on constitutional matters at the Supreme Court. Until we learn to vote for the man and not the party, for the defenders of liberty and individual rights and not those that have paid only lip service we remain sheep, puppets, slaves, and whiners.

One more Obama Supreme Court appointment like these last two, and we are toast. It will become a judicial no man's land; baren landscape, shell- crater water holes ,with bodies floating face down. Damn our ignorance!

Rick, SOME of what you say may well be true, but you seem to sum it up by saying, "...learn to vote for the man and not the party." This, in my opinion, begs the question, who in the democrat party will put liberty, freedom and the Constitution, as it was written, over their party? Who will dare go against their leaders? As one example, look how obama's health care bill became law. Dems were coerced, bribed, begged and dragged in Christmas Eve, until they all gave in to the pressure. And which party is it that is leading us into socialism and even marxism? You site the Supreme Court and Kagan. Which party chose her and eagerly offers this very typical activist lib for the position? As a matter of fact, which party gave us barrak obama and all the luggage he carries? As for me, I will never, let me repeat that for emphasis, NEVER vote democrat because, while the candidate may well come into the race as an honorable person, that candidate will still end up under the thumbs of the pelosi's the reid's, the sorros's and the emmanuel's of the democrat party. In this very fight for our freedom, charitable idealism must give way to common sense.

I understand that everyone wishes to see this country turned around in a peaceful manner, but it wouldn't hurt, especially on this particular 4th of July after the recent affirmation of the second Article of the Bill of Rights by the Supreme Court, for everyone who has the yearning for a return of the Republic to arm themselves by following the currently dictated laws of their State to obtain a handgun and a concealed carry permit, where necessary, and let the statisics be the warning for those who would have our freedoms.

Please be sure to get proper training as dictated by common sense and for your own security. This move on behalf of yourself and your families will make a strong statement to the statists who seek to make you a slave.

After you've done that, join your local shooting range, or fish and game club. The more you know your fellow gun owners the better off you'll be in case the manure hits the fan. You will also meet some very nice same minded folks that enjoy their freedoms like you do.

Good Job Mr. Alexander.

Happy 4th of July!

This country was founded on Godly principles. Therefore, Americans need to repent sincerely and ask God's forgiveness before it is too late. This coming 4th of July there is a Call to Fall for people to fall on their knees for a few minutes on the 4th and ask God to forgive us and protect us as He once did. I thought you might be interested to join too. If so, you might check out this website: www.Call2Fall.com

Love the Patriot Post, but I was disappointed to see Thomas Jefferson called the "principle author" instead of "principal author" of the Declaration. Call me old-fashioned and a nitpicker, but I never use Spellcheck because it has produced so many such errors. My Motto: "Spell for Yourself" will probably never catch on.

Thank you for making the spelling correction so promptly. Kudos to you on yet another front!

Wait a sec...The spelling correction was made in the article as it appears when a Comment is made or read, but not on the original opening page. C'est la vie, I suppose. The intent of all your writing is infinitely more important than my nitpicking. Thanks for that!

God Bless you Mark, and God Bless America. I pray that He will see us through this dark time. I've never feared for this country as I do now. Please keep speaking the truth. I'll support you and your online efforts as long as I am able.

Laurie.

I am 69 years old. I remember this country when we did not lock our doors....when we trusted all of our neighbors and friends and enjoyed a safe and good life. Families were the heart of America. We loved our country and our friends and enjoyed the trust and safety that was America.

Today our government has overwhelmed the people. We no longer really have a say in what is happening. The debt we now carry will impact our grandchildren and their children for generations. At my age, I imagine if I contract a serious disease I will not be able to get the care I could have gotten before Obamacare. I truly believe that there will be restrictions on what healthcare I can receive due to my age. What is not taken into consideration is that I worked for 36 years, paid into Social Security and Medicare, only to have it become a matter for "overview" and "judgment" by people that were not even alive when I worked my life away for 36 years, one day at a time. What has happened to the America I loved and was proud to be a part of? I am still totally proud of my country.......I am just appalled at what has happened to it during the last 18 months and where it will be at the end of 2012. The President speaks of Islam as though it is his religion. I believe it is his religion. He rallies for people of that faith and speaks of the beauty of that religion. Should we have a President with this persuasion? We still have no proof that he is a US citizen. I believe he was born in Africa, as members of his family have stated, and should be removed from office due to this alone. I fear for the America I was born into. I know we can never go back to the 1950's when life was a walk in the park. We went to the doctor and paid $10 or $12 dollars for our visit. There was no health insurance back then. I realize with sophisticated medical treatment today the cost is out of sight. But much of that is due to the cost of paying for all the people that need treatment and cannot pay for it. Obamacare says it is designed to fix this problem. It is not! We will still have the horrific costs of health care years after Obamacare is in effect. I am sickened at what has happened to my America. Obama campaigned on "change" but never really let us know the "change" he had in mind. I have family members that voted for him and now refuse to discuss his agenda or anything about him. I think they realize their horrible mistake in trusting this man. He has turned the tables on America with his praise of Islam, telling us the beauty of the call to worship in the Islam religion. He speaks the Islam words perfectly. Why are we not up in arms over this? Am I just over-reacting about Mr. Obama and the rest of the world thinks everything is A-OK?

Tell me how the rest of you feel about the things I have brought up here. Am I totally out of line, or do I have some fellow Americans that feel like I do.....we have been betrayed by a very classy, slick, politician that does not have America in his best interests?

Karen Savela, I'm sure we all share your concerns. The article above should be passed on to others. The link to our Patriot Post passed on also.

Thanks for another great article Mark.

No courts or grand jury hearings, courts of inquiry, or trials by jury should be held the day before or on Election day. However, a random pool of jurors should be called to serve for the Monday and Tuesday of election week- to serve as poll workers. Monday would be used to take the votes of these poll workers, train the poll workers in the proper procedures for verifying the identity & eligibility of each voter, & security of the ballots (return to paper) & assigning each juror to a polling place. Two sheriff deputies should be assigned to each polling place for protection of the legal process.

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves

"Winston Churchill"

A local columnist wrote about how many times, Obama, Bush, Clinton and Reagan were called narcissistic. (see link below.)You might like to read it. While, by definition, Obama truly is a narcissist, over use has watered it down. Perhaps you should go straight to megalomaniac.

Well said. At last, at this moment of supreme tension, an arrow springs into flight, a shaft that is inflexible and free.

Att'n Mark Alexander,

I just saw this old email you wrote to my socialist son the sports reporter who is now living in Japan. His name is also Ed O'Deven. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks. I don't know if he received it. Send it to him at

odeven@hotmail.com

Here's what you wrote: And I agree with everything you said.

Ed,

You have been sending me far-left leaning emails for quite some time and I haven't replied to most because I simply have not had the time to put together my responses.

Ed, I urge you, no I implore you to pray first, ask God to give you his true wisdom, then read the information in the above link.

If you support Obama and his ilk you are supporting individuals who themselves, their supporters, and the people who they are beholden to, pose a grave theat to America.

If you ever want to come back to America, to the once great nation that I and my forefathers loved and grew up in, an American that has presented Opportunity and Freedom to countless millions around the world, an America who represents liberty and freemdom from oppression to more countless millions, an America where our childen and grandchildren can grow and prosper, an America that allows people to worship the God of their choice, an America that is the last hope of the free world, an America that rewards those who work hard, an America that is someone once put it is the worst political system in the world, except all the rest, an America who's citizens are the most benevelent of any in the world, giving of their own generosity to help millions around the world, and an America who does not take over an enslave it's enemies but helps them become free and economically sound after saving the world from their terror, then if that's the America you want to come back to Ed, then stop supporting those socialists who you so admire, and use your pen to expose these liars and frauds for what they are.

No America is not a perfect nation. It is on a downward slide because of the socialists and leftists in Hollywood, politics, lawyers and yes your beloved media.

Wake up Ed, before it's too late. We need every sensible person there is to talk to their friends, neighbors and to everyone they have any influence to wake up. Our country is being destroyed. Our liberties are being taken away, one by one. We are in for a tough ride. The next 4 years is going to be really bad.

You thought it was bad under Bush? It was and the reason it was bad is not because the Republican party is bad. No the Republican party is not bad. It just isn't. It is gone, destroyed from within but socialists and moderates. Bush wasn't bad because he was Republican, he was bad because he was the most left leaning, most liberal, most socialist Republican president we have ever had. You think he was bad, wait, you ain't seen nothin yet. Barak Husain Mohammed (yes that is one of his names)Obama will all but desroy what is left of America.

You wrote, "The principle author of our Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, . . ." on July 1, 2010.

In my Cassel's Concise Dictionary, it gives the word "principle" as a NOUN only and the word "principal" as an adjective, likely the one you were searching for.

But my research of history tells me that Thomas Paine wrote the Declaration of Independence which Thomas Jefferson later wrote out in his own hand. So Jefferson re-wrote Paine's words . . . does that make an author, much less the "principal" author? Perhaps a secondary author with a fine handwriting?

If Jefferson were a principaled author, he would have directly acknowledged Paine as the source of his writing of the D of I.
