The constitution is the law of the land, those in power that subvert it by passing legislation contrary to the limits of the constitution can only enforce those dictates through tyrannical force of arms. We the People have no moral obligation to submit to unconstitutional law and have an obligation to challenge unconstitutional dictates. We the People have the ability and power to reverse and repeal these unconstitutional actions by those who have ingnored their oath of office and subverted the liberty and rights we all hold dear.

I was surprised not to see something on the fall of the Berlin Wall which happened on this date. The fall of Communism was brought on by the power and might of the US military and that ugly word capitalism. Since the current leadership is apologizing to the world for everything we have done, I want to say I'm proud to have been a part of the tearing down of that wall with 32 years of service and the proud parent of an Army Captain who makes 8 generations who have answered the call. I have nothing to apologize for. Maybe Congress should think a little more about the motto of the Academy - Duty, Honor and Country.

I just gave my wife her "Heart Shaped" US Flag pin, purchased a short while back, for her birthday. She love it! Thought you may like to hear about it?

Thank God for the Patriot Post!

I propose a simple rallying cry for all Constitutional conservatives: "Let's ROC." The ROC acronym stands for "Rescue Our Constitution."

Let us all be reminded of our essential goal.

Jack Moran

The GOP could have stopped the health care bill if they believed in the Constitution. That so few are making the argument about the Const. shows their true colors. They want the power to abuse the Const. when they run things, so they can't call the Dems on it when they don't. Had 100+ GOP congressmen and their staffs and the RNC consistently made the argument that if this is constitutional, then anything is, it would have failed. This is what we get for supporting GOPers who compromise on core principles--and I blame conservative leaders, including the Patriot, for leading that support of compromisers.

Here is a thing I heard on tv Nov.6,2009 that I hought was hilarious. I certify that this s an exact quote:

"Are you getting a lot of headaches?

you might be surprised at what's bringing that on.

You're watching the Early Show on CBS."

In the Post "The Last Word" by Mr. Fuelner, he left the most treasured principle of what the country was founded on that all others he mentioned came from....a benevolent God who's grace and love allowed this once great country to be founded on His principles of law and morality. From there, we have our Constitution, our notions of justice and forgiveness (i.e. helping Japan and Germany rebuild after WWII). We need to get over ourselves, get on our knees to stand taller than what has befallen us now in the guise of leadership with two horns and a pitchfork in the likes of Obama and Pelosi. And to Mr. Turner, is it not better to whisper into the wind saying something than to say nothing at all with the wind? You brought up very good points, but what is your solution? At least Liberty is whispering in the wind and with enough whispers, the yelling will start and the wind will subside until all can hear and see. God Bless all who speak and fight to protect the USA and her Constitution!

To Mitch:

From my understanding the Patriot doesn't necessarily support any political party but true conservative principles. Conservatism usually wins, except last election, conservative wasn't on the ballot.

As for us, we have to continue to do OUR part and keep calling our representatives and senators and pressure them to yield to the constitution. Voting is no longer enough.

Good Day,

I very much appreciate what you are doing at the Patriot Post! Thank you very much.

I was hoping that you, or someone, would publish the names of all of the congressmen who voted for the Obamacare package so we can all start working to 'De-Elect' these people. Their names should be easily visible and accessible to be sure that there is a fight to "Fire" them as they do not represent the American people.

Also, I saw a very interesting bumper sticker -

"I think, therefore I am Conservative".

One more thing. I resigned from AARP recently because they have an agenda that does not represent the majority of the retired people in this country. I would hope that most seniors would look at their ties with ACORN and SEIU and do the same. All one has to do is look at their website where they proudly display their association (http://www.aarp.org/issues/dividedwefail/).

God Bless You All for doing what you do.......It is a great inspiration in a world growing darker by the moment because of the corruption at the highest levels.......When the wicked rule, the people groan (Proverbs)

Large box of Orchids for Mr. Krauthammer! Well said, Sir. The Post is daily fare for the young in our family. Your insightful, incisive conversation is required reading.

Large box of Onions for 'Jim'. Your analysis of the Patriot Post' timliness, and the qualifications of the recent White House contenders, is surprising; and quite inaccurate. Read Mr. Krauthammer's column again,for enlightenment. Robert.

May God give us the strength in 2010 to remove the tyranny that exists within the halls of Congress. We, the people, are to blame for continuing to return these selfish, power hungry individuals to office time and time again (both Dem and Rep). They do not respect our Constitution, they do not respect the People. It's time we stand up and wrestle back control of our great country - encumbents MUST GO.

Indeed, America still has the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution; the Second Amendment, and the Bill of Rights. What we do not have are members of the House and Senate who will stand up to the gutless cowards in those Houses and fight to re-instate our rights before Obama and the rest of our population! Why is this so? There are more than 200 millionaires in these two houses of Congress, and there are no term limits that will throw these bums of office after 8 years. Ted Kennedy -chief hog that he was- was on the take from the taxpayers for more than 40 years! These things are what we need to change. But what kind of hearing does a chicken get when the fox is on the bench?

"Can Washington Make You Buy Health Insurance? Yes, yes, says White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs. Congress has the power to make everyone buy health insurance........

A tax that applies to anyone who is uninsured is a penalty which exceeds Congress's authority under the Constitution. If this were not the case, Congress could "tax" anyone who fails to follow an order of any kind, for example, if you fail to exercise regularly, or fail to take a certain medicine, or if you are not a vegetarian. What's next, federal agents coming to my home to inspect the contents of my refrigerator?

As the facts concerning the massacre at Fort Hood unfold, the real tragedy from a purely military mindset is not approached by the pundits and talking heads on TV and radio. With time the motivation of MAJ Hassan will no doubt become clear. But frankly his motivation from my perspective is not nearly so important as the betrayal of his trust as a military officer.

Those who have had the unique privilege and honor of serving as officers in the U.S. Armed Forces will know whereof I speak. To be an officer imbues one with great authority, but imposes even greater responsibilities. It matters not what your specific function as an officer is, be it a combat or non-combat role, an officer is charged with caring for and protecting enlisted personnel with whom you have the privilege of serving. They are all volunteers, whom we train to place great faith in their officers. It is a trust of first magnitude.

MAJ Hassan's actions in murdering 12 military personnel and attempting to murder over 30 others was a betrayal of everything sacred to the military...respect and love for one's comrades, and most important Duty. We who have served in the military recognize too well the hideous nature of his acts, but we truly fail to understand his betrayal of that sacred trust which binds us together. It is that which offends our very being as officers. The military family has been assaulted at its very core.

"Can Washington Make You Buy Health Insurance? Yes, yes, says White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs."

So they can force me to buy health insurance, then turn around and tell me that I have to die for the greater good if I get too sick? Seems unfair, somehow, but I guess that's because I think like a conservative.

Cheryl Wood Harris

Some people ridicule Rush, Sean, Glen, Bill, and others, BUT have you ever listened, for more than a few seconds, to either of Keith,or Rachael, or Chris, or any number of the talking heads on the other chanels on TV and RADIO? They are still putting the blame of todays problems on former President George W. Bush! He evidently was/is the most powerful man in the World. When does accountability kick in for this administration?

In all the discussion in the healthcare reform bill's provisions to criminalize the non-purchase of insurance, no one is really answering the crucial question of why is that step necessary. I believe that it comes down to the very nature of what insurance is, a method of sharing risk amongst a population of diverse risk individuals. If denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions is prohibited, who in their right minds would buy coverage until they were actually sick. Hence, the need for force, and the increased average cost.

It has become tiresome to read readers' comments which laud your publication and efforts (good though they are) instead of your publishing thoughtful insights, probing questions, historical perspectives. I'm sure that there have been a few comments that haven't been all warm and fuzzy.

Occcasionally someone WILL post a comment that is not all "warm and fuzzy". If you are a regular reader, you will read all manner of opinions and comments. That is, in my never to be humble opinion, what makes The Patriot Post SPECIAL!

It's my opinion that the 34 who refused to sign the Health Care bill be sent a Thank You by every Patriot! The balance of the group including the 1 rino be replaced next election. as they seem to forget that they were elected to represent Us NOT THEMSELVES. Wake UP Americans.

Remember it was the republican leadership (still an oxymoron) fair haired boy, Mitt Romeny who made the subjects (oops citizens) of Taxaachussetts purchase health insurance or be fined. Tell me agin the difference between democrats and republicans?

The current tax situation is insane. And now, some members of Congress want to add more to the already huge burden via health care "refore", cap and whatever, etc. I figured out that for my family, we pay just about 52% of our gross income for some kind of government tax or fee at all levels. This is nuts. Some economists in our country and other countries have stated that US citizens don't save very much or enough. After taxes, shelter, food, clothing, and transportation, what exactly is left to save? We are taxed to death. We need something different, and less of it.

Though I have not been to church in quite some time, I do believe in God and that we definItely are a Christian nation,based on Christian principles. i pray to God that it is not too late for the return of our nation to the articles of the Constitution. Though we have lost several generations of children, I think the citizens of each state should take back the curiculum being taught to our younger generations, and REQUIRE that our schools teach a thorough understand of our Constitution, and all the sacrifices suffered by soldiers and citizens of this beautiful nation (AMERICAN HISTORY- CIRCA 1965)

As Tiny Tim said in "A Christmas Carol", "May God Bless Us, Everyone. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of a Living God, needs to get on their knees and beg God to Bless this Country (Me included).

But, it can not stop at this. Each and everyone of us must get out there and work to get Christians elected to Congress in 2010 and President in 2012.

...and so it goes!

Someone should have pulled this one out decades ago when they started allotting themselves exorbitant pay raises, retirement etc...etc...Time to pull this one out before they totally annihilate the constitution!

Amendment 28

Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .

Charles Finney, an American Evangelist of the 19th Century, also was one of the principles in the founding of Oberlin College in Ohio, said this:

"The time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics, or the Lord will curse them... God cannot sustain this free and blessed Country, which we love and pray for, unless the Church will take right ground. POLITICS ARE A PART OF RELIGION IN SUCH A COUNTRY AS THIS, and Christians must do their duty to the Country as a part of their duty to God."

Happy Birthday United States Marine Corps

Well, here is a subject that I am "prejudice" about. Why because of two special men in my family:

Richard A. Whiteleather, United States Marine Corps, Okinawa

Russell J. Whiteleather, United States Marine Corps, Vietnam

They did their duty to God and Country, to God be the Glory.

I was doing some "research" about the Marines and ran across this "OLD stanza" to the Marine Corps Hymn:

Admiration of the nation,

we're the finest ever seen;

And we glory in the title

Of United States Marines.

First to fight for right and freedom

And to keep our honor clean;

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marine.

The chorus to this wonderful Song is majestic. "First to fight for right and freedom and to keep our honor clean." That's America, To the glory of God and the envy of the world.

Thanks to God for "MY" Veterans. I salute you, My dear Brothers.

For those interested, the names of the representatives who voted for the socialist health care plan should be found on Saun Hannity's web site.

Learn to say NO.

No more "foreign aid" help the U.S.

No more U.N.

No more bowing to corrupt kings.

No more shelling out and selling out to jerks on dope who will steal but are too lazy to work.

No more ACLU.

No more ACORN

or----------

No more America

A comment on the "Culture" section of the Nov. 9 "The Brief". When we as voters send professional lawyers to write laws we create a built-in conflict-of-interest. If we want this to stop we must stop sending lawyers to our legislatures and executive offices, both nationally and at the state level. Instead we should send businessmen and women, professional people, and such. Until we wake up to this we will continue to have laws written to favor those who demand payment BEFORE services rendered and give no guarantee of results for that money (wish I could work on that basis).

This government is the closest thing to Santa Claus that I know of and it must think that it can operate that way even though it's running up enormous deficits trying to do it. It tries to provide everything no matter that the attempt increases taxes to no end but ours.

Thomas Sowell asks questions that I have had but never hear the democrats answer--to wit, if there is billions of waste and fraud in the medical system (Medicaid, Medicare), wring it out first then come back and show us the savings. Don't say that this is what will pay for a vast expansion of government expenditures--the savings never seem to appear but the costs are always there! And if those two are full of fraud what is going to stop this new program from having more of the same, only worse due to the huge size of it.

My grandaughters attend a public classical academy. Our academy has been denied the right to use any religious texts (classical education uses original source texts) in the curriculum. We are vigorously defending this right. Schools such as this (if our nation survives the next few years without total conversion to some form of socialism) are helping to educate our young people about the beliefs and doctrines that inspired our founding fathers and Western civilization. These schools teach our young people to THINK for themselves, not parrot answers spewed out from progressive education and diluted and rewritten history.

Ultimately and above all, our hope is in God, and God alone. We all need to be on our faces before Him and take action as He directs and leads. God Bless America.

There are so many dictates and mandates in the

1990 pages, not to mention fees, taxes and the

creation of more government bureaucracies. And of

course if you don't comply, then you can be fined

and/or be imprisoned. This is, of course, unconstitutional. There is talk, in the spirit of our founding fathers, on the airwaves

and on the Internet, of civil disobedience to this

bill, should it pass the Senate. Sam Adams et al

must be doing flip flops in their graves.

In this vast bastion of information available, it is the Patriot Post I look forward to the most. Its Patriotic tenor combined with topical insights from historical figures of our past, provides a rallying cry that uplifts my hopes and spirits for my children and the future of our country as well. Thank you Patriot Post, God speed.

I keep reading about how we are protected from the Federal Government by the Constitution and the associated amendments. Yet, every day I see our freedom being siphoned away and Congress acting as though they have the power to do anything they want. If questioned, they ridicule the questioner. So, of what use is the Constitution if no one is paying attention to it? Do I hear anyone in Congress, right or left, seriously questioning the power grab? I don't think so. (If there are, they are so weak about it that no one is paying attention.) I think we may be deluding ourselves into thinking this can be turned around. Who will step up to the plate and take the lead? Who can we turn to? The courts? I think not. The handwriting is on the wall, we had our chance on the last election and we muffed it. I can't blame the voters too much. The conservative movement had no one to vote for.

As usual all of the authors of articles in this issue of Patriot Post are so on target. Oh, how I appreciate reading things produced by people of their stature; full of conservative values and just plain old common sense. I do have a question for anyone who cares to answer it. How does one go about suing the Federal Government that is attempting to force the American citizens to purchase something they do not want under any circumstances? I am on Medicare, not Medicare Advantage and purchase my own supplemental health care policy and prescription coverage. I would like to participate in such a suit.

Congratulations to the the Patriot Post and Mark Alexander for carrying the message of true patriotism and conservatism to the American people.

I not only support verbally but financially as well and will continue to do so as long as the Post follows through on the promise to mount a constitutional challenge to some of Obama's and Congress' insane actions of the past 9 months. The lady that told me of the plans was apparently a staff member but I have neither heard nor read anything further.

I will not only contribute further when this effort is announced but I will actively campaign for the Post because I cannot find ANYONE or ANY ORGANIZATION willing to challenge this administration and congress in court where it will hit home and score points for the American people.

Thank you,

Wesley J Leake

Billy396 -

I, OF COURSE agree with you but I wouldn't answer that scumbag shallow 'Jim' in such nice terms.

Wish I could give more than just a $50 to this cause because I believe if this publication was the only one on the internet, it would tell it all like it is...honestly, caringly and I LOVE IT & APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.

to BILL LITTLE - I thank you for your note on the Berlin wall being torn down & your working with it. You are thanked for your patriotism !!

Post above asked: What's next, federal agents coming to my home to inspect the contents of my refrigerator? I've read that's exactly what they do in Great Britain.

Why does everyone say "the first black president"?

He is only half black. What he has done or tried to do since he was elected makes it very unlikely that another troubled slick talking half black man will get elected. An all black man will certainly be given the chance to hold the office, if he is a true follower of the Constitution our forefathers wrote, not the all powerful govt. version being written as they go by the politicos in their mad rush to socialism. Progressives, BAAH HUMBUG!!!

Is it just me or am I missing something here? The powers at hand tell us how badly we're doing at caring for the environment and thus must enact cap and trade laws and stop drilling because polar bears may need more land though they are no longer endangered in Alaska. We obviously don't care enough about health care of a few folks, so they must pass new forced medical care legislation for all. Now we read our pets are now also apparently suspect for causing unnecessary drain on the resources...and yet Mrs. Pelosi proudly poses before a proposed law that takes rougly 2000 pages of paper to write the law to get it passed before Congress. Has anyone figured the green footprint on Congressional activity lately???
