Policy and Analysis
Our Mission
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!
As a second generation country newspaper editor, I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of the First Amendment, that it protects a free and impartial press. What it does protect is a press that is free from government control, and is unrestricted in its ability to report on the activities of government to its citizens.The press has always been partial in their coverage (consider how many papers are named Democrat, Republican, or Independent). The founding fathers often turned to their favorite paper to publish essays and letters (under anonymous pen names) to test public opinion.What our founding fathers hoped for was an educated public, willing to be widely read and able to thoughtfully engage in the public debate. The issue is not that we have partial media, rather that we have people unwilling to read from differing viewpoints and to form their own opinions based on numerous and varying sources.
