The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
Read the Preamble. Read the two Founding Documents. There has never been and never will be a clearer statement of Conservative Principles because those are PRINCIPIUM IMPRIMIS "...[T]hat is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." -- John KeatsLet's stop parsing health "care" proposals, back and forth. The Constitution DOES NOT ALLOW the federal government to be involved -- even a little -- in health "care" or retirement or education or mortgages or agriculture subsidies or student loans or "the environment" or any of the thousands of "duties" which they've assumed since FDR. Read Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution: the SEVENTEEN ENUMERATED DUTIES of the federal government. If it's not there, the duty falls to the States, further defined and confirmed by Amendments 10 and 14. If the federal government goes beyond, outside, around, over, those seventeen DUTIES, what they're doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Could that be "high crimes and misdemeanors"?
