"Freedom of choice and control over your own body..." (Judge Napolitano) Isn't that what the Dems cherish most when it comes to abortion rights?

Neal just said he would read The Patriot Post all day while in prison for not accepted the feds health care. Well, he probably won't have the freedom to do that either!

Thank you for correctly referring to Hasan as "mass murderer" rather than as "alleged mass murderer". I am so tired of seeing that word "alleged" in front of every description of him. The 14 dead are not allegedly dead but are in fact dead. The numerous other victims were not allegedly shot, but are in fact recovering from gunshot wounds. Why our cowardly media, so quick to eaglerly report lies as if they were facts when carrying water for the DNC, cannot refer to him simply as "shooter" rather than "alleged shooter" is beyond me, and it infuriates me. Thanks again for being a ray of light in the media darkness.

Please promote GOOOH. It appears to be working and gaining momentum. Your endorsement will greatly accelerate its progress. http://goooh.com/home.aspx

I am about to file a Motion to Force Constitutional Government on my town. We are A REPUBLIC, and I am Really Annoyed, more so as time goes on, that this Oligarchy thinks it can Dictate to us. Article 4, section 4 guarantees to every Citizen the Republic form of Government. Read St, George Tuckers letter to George Mason (1786) stating the duties of the elected in a Republic.

We need Lots more Notice and Demands, and outright law-suits about this. We Tell Them! AMEN!

"We need to toughen up." Indeed.

I almost fainted, when in this brief you included 2 libertarian minded conservatives, Judge Andrew Napolitano and John Stossel. "If you examine it, I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism" -- Ronald Reagan. The "R" party has forgotten Taft and Goldwater, and I predict it will continue to be left in the dust until they do so. I can only hope. If you were to include Ron Paul, I would read every brief.

More and more citizens are beginning to respond to the call of those who want a return to the Rule of Law under our Constitution. They are shouting and waving their arms, but without a central rallying point to provide a focus and a means to demonstrate that this is not an isolated group of "tea baggers" as they are demeaned by many politicians including our President. Sure, an election provides an opportunity to "throw the bums out", but how to replace them with Patriots and not just another group of "bums" who then feather their own nest.

James Lewis has said in today's posting what millions of Americans are thinking today, that me must toughen up and plaqy hard ball just like the anarchist in the left wing of politics. Their methods are making people realize that their goals are the destruction of 225 years of democracy and that we must strike back with a concerted effort to cast out those destructive forces that hold power in government and other political institutions here in the U.S.

You published a comment from a reader named Neal: 'I am not buying your required health insurance and I am here to turn myself in!' His sentiment is correct, but his approach is mistaken. Indeed, we must not be compelled to buy clearly unconstitutional "health care" against our wishes. Yet, it is NOT our duty to "respect" illegal Congressional mandates by volunteering for consequences. If "they" are determined to throw me in jail for failure to comply, then "they" will have come get me. Good luck!

Isn't it incredible that the Obama group wants to free dozens of terrorists from Gitmo, but mandates in their healthcare plan that Americans will be fined and/or imprisoned if we do not follow their insurance mandates. Unfortunately, this is but one anti American piece of legislation coming out of Washington these days. Ironically, all this "care" about our health will destroy America on many levels. For those of you who do care, don't miss out on the opportunity to call your representatives and tell them how you feel about it; while you still have a voice.

connie

Just saw a news bulleting showing Obama bowing to the Emporer of Japan. Did he also apologize for America defeating Imperial Japan in 1945...or having our Navy at Pearl...or the 31st Infantry at Battan in 1941? The only source of news I can trust anymore is Patriot Post, Newsmax and PJTV. Keep up the effort. We appreciate it more than you could ever know.

I really thought that your article was well written. I am in total agreement.A friend of mine always says "Suck it up Princess" Stop whining and

get back to work! lol.

I wish it were that easy, But it is not. The left

is far more hateful than we determined. We patriots are left with very little to look forward too.

I could go on and on, but the truth of the matter isthat are we ready to take back what is ours, is America ready for such an act? Hmmm..

TAKE CARE BROTHER,

JMB

'

The Constitution requires that a person accused of a crime be presumed innocent until proved guilty. Dictatorships generally assume the opposite.

Congress in its health care bills starts with the premise that people who do not have health care insurance will certainly steal from hospital emergency rooms, and penalizes them accordingly. Congress proposes an innovation in tyranny: it presumes people guilty before the crime has been committed!

This is not far removed from the legendary communist government thug who said of a man he arrested, "I don't know what he's guilty of. I just know he's guilty."

He most likely didn't expect it to happen but because of what our gangster President is trying to accomplish there is a rebellion larger than anyone may expect a brewing and I for one wish I was a lot younger so I could take an active part if it turns physical.

That terrorist's entire chain of command at both Walter Reed and Ft. Hood should be court martialed for "dereliction of their duty" to the other soldiers who served under them. I am so enraged, I can barely speak without getting my blood pressure up to dangerous levels.

This is not the Army my husband and I both served with pride in both active military and civilian roles -- for a combined 74 years.

We are appalled and greatly saddened.

Please pray for the victims and their families, and the entire Army Family--we hope they remain the close-knit entity we once enjoyed...

and pray for the land that we love.

I agree with columnist James Lewis in that it is time to toughen up and it is time to struggle with our opponents politically and not physically. But it is also time to begin a discussion that we should never have had to have in this country. That is under what circumstances do we the people make the final check and balance and physically depose a corrupt government? I am not saying throw out the Constitution. The Constitution will be what we will be fighting for, but at exactly what point will it become necessary to take up arms? And don't believe that it cannot come. Germany of the 1920's had a constitutional government elected by the people, but by the mid 30's they had a dictatorship run by evil. We must not wait to have the discussion until we have past the point where the country could have been saved.

I think I have found the silver lining to the atrocious health [sic] care plans being foisted on the American public. Simply, ObamaCare/PelosiCare should so thoroughly ruin our great country that immigration, legal and illegal, will drastically decrease, if not reverse. Is this how great countries die?

There has always been the sacrifice of so few for so many in any good cause, and the cause we seek NOW is the cause of saving this "GOD" ordained country and to rid itself of those who will destroy this nation. I mean from the one who is/will not show his birth cert to the ones in congress that think I/WE need to be told what medical/health insurance to buy, for what they want: MONEY/POWER/CONTROL!!! Wake UP America and let's get busy!! Bruce

TO ALL PATRIOTS: DON"T forget to continue to ask where the man who will call himself president; where IS HIS Birth Certificate, SHOW THE WORLD!!! Bruce

I would love to know the source information for the Thomas Jefferson quote that headlines today's Brief.

Always a great and informative read. One exception I note is the use of the word "democratic" by all writers of the various columns in denoting democRATS elected or otherwise. The democRAT party and elected democRATS are nowhere near democratic.

Use of the (ic) was heavily promoted by them and their willing accomplices in the media during the last election cycle. Again, there is nothing democratic about these people. It is their way or else!

What is the stance of the "Christian Scientists" re: mandatory health care insurance?

Bill, Shelby, MT

We have all seen the images of "osama obama" bowing to various individuals of so-called "royalty" over the past few months. What this demonstrates above all, is not that this once great nation is now subservient to so-called "royalty", but that without question "osama obama" is not fit to occupy the office which he and the demagogues now lay siege.

We also know that "osama obama" prefers bowing to "royalty" above displaying the remotest amount of respect to those who have and are fighting to keep this nation free.

I think that Andrew Wilkow and several other "radical" talk show hosts have it right. "If you do not pay taxes AND speak & read ENGLISH, you do not vote." This must also be a common sense english. Not like the media. Thank you for letting me vent a little.

Every member of Congress who refuses to sign on as a sponsor of the Enumerated Powers Act is violating his oath of office to support the Constitution. The Enumerated Powers Act should (must) be made retroactive. Also what about members of Congress who are members of the Council on Foreign Relations, aren't they guilty of treason?

I am not so sure that left can be stopped without the use of arms. And I think the dictator, who probably is a illegal alien, had better be deposed while you still have arms to depose him with.

For the humor post tomorrow:

This just in from Washington, D.C.: The Supreme Court has ruled there will be no Nativity scene this year in the nation's capital. The ruling was not based on any religious principle, however. The problem stems from the inability of Nativity organizers to locate three wise men anywhere in the city. The search for a virgin continues.

On the bright side, there has been no problem finding enough donkeys to fill the stables.

In the November 16, 2009 Patriot Post, Neal commented: "'I am not buying your required health insurance and I am here to turn myself in!'" --Neal

He is right except for one thing: We should overwhelm our law enforcement agencies, courts and federal bureocracies by saying, "I am not buying your required health insurance and I WILL NOT GO TO JAIL!"

If hundreds of thousands of Americans refuse to be imprisoned for excercising their own free choice AND FIGHT THIS TOOTH AND NAIL IN THE COURTS as an unconstitutional intervention into our lives, the government will be UNABLE to handle this revolution and it will make the Boston Tea Party look like a child's fantasy party in comparison.

Craig

Why can we not seem to get the idea that those that are in Washington need to be kicked out of office? We need to get together and get recall elections going and remove them from office, each of these people took an oath of office and most of them have sense turned their collective backs on that oath, the oath was to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic and they have become the domestic enemies of said document. Whether we like to admit it or not this is being a traitor as they have been and are still trying to destroy our country and what it stands for, it is time that we stood up and re-instituted the values that this country was founded upon and and put this country back where we are supposed to be so that our children and grand-children have a prosperity that was left to us by our forefathers.

Hasan surely committed treason and is thus a traitor. The definition is that of one who betrays his allegiance, that is, his sworn duty. We have 535 Traitors in DC. Not a one of them consider their oath of office to uphold the constitution binding.

Willis

Sense when have we become a Democracy we are a Republic and have a republican form of government, this is demonstrated by the fact that we have an electoral college instead of your vote counting directly for the president, also by the fact that when the health care vote came up you were not contacted by your representative to get your input as would happen in a true democracy such as Athens was were every vote of every person was counted before a law was passed. This is a Republic where your are supposed to be represented by a person that votes according to your will, have you been represented or are your ideas being put forth? If so then you have no problems and you feel represented otherwise you are being taken for a ride. Recall the lot and take back control before it is to late.

The excerpt by James Lewis about this nation being 2 to 1, conservatives to liberal and talks about how the left is manhandling the conservatives. What he did not mention is that the supposed conservative party, the republican party, has lost its drive to fight liberalism. Worse yet, the party has decided to adopt many of the liberal views over the years and lost a base. We cannot afford to break the party into two factions. (Does Ross Perot ring a bell?) Rather the party leadership needs to be removed in favor of others who don't beleive what they hear from news reporters about what conservatives should do. It is simple. Be a conservative and follow conservative prinicples. It worked ok for Ronald Reagan's reelection!

Never before have so few, done so much to so many as to distroy our basic core principles tnan Congress. Apologizies to Winston Churchill

shoot them all and bury them with pigs.

Re: James Lewis 11-16-09

We can start by calling a spade, a spade----those so-called "pro-choice" people should rightfully be called "pro-death" people, because that is the only choice they give to people who use the death (abortion) clinics!

Just had an idea on how to beat Congress. They are focused and operate from a position of "What's in it for me --- how do I get the money?"

Ok, here is the deal, we each take the $8500 (if every man, woman, and child does it a great sum of money) that Obama and his friends have provided (through our tax dollars) for the purchase of a house and we use the money to buy "The House". Since they no longer recognize they work for us and only provide assistance to those that further their individual greed, we appeal to that vice.

Since we are now "contributors" to their campaigns and avarice they should respond to our demands. In the long run it will be cheaper to buy them off than to suffer the taxation and restrictions they will impose on us if we don't "play their game".

After we pay them off we turn ourselves in to the Justice Department. We turn state's evidence and cut a deal for no punishment in return for our testimony against the members of Congress that took the money.

In to today's upside world of right and wrong it just might work. After all it is illogical, dishonest, and screwball, just the thing that mainstream media should consider the right thing to do.

So go to your nearest ACORN office and start filling out those forms. Be sure and tell them you have no intention of really buying a house but intend to use the money to support those that provide funds to ACORN. They will bend over backwards to assist when they find out there is money in the deal and it is dishonest.

If you can't beat them --- join them.

It's high time these clowns, and I mean the ones without the big red noses, get educated on the 28th amendment.

My only regret regarding my donation to the Post is that I only have so much money to give. Likewise, my only regret with leaving a comment is that I only have so much space! Suffice it to say, The Patriot is the best part of my week. Thank you for your efforts to protect our Constitution!

(Just a thought, perhaps Mr. Alexander might write a defense of the ROTC program in our Universities - especially private universities. I hear the left shamelessly trash our ROTC students daily.)

Our President seems to be giving more elequent speaches. Can you tell us who writes them? Does he still need the prompter when on the road?

Treason, yes, treason it is! There is no excuse, denial, equivocation---none. Thank You, Mr. Bay, for clearly stating the reality of Major Hasan's act.

While I strongly support the Patriot Post, I cannot support it financially. I do have one comment regarding the Health Care Bill, if it is such a great bill, then why doesn't the President and all his cohorts get it also? I am only interested if all the other people get it and don't have any language to exclude them from getting health care also!

44% of Congress are millionaires(CH#9news@9 Los Angeles) The only way we are going to get the attention of these "Potomac-ers" is to insist that they cut their salary, staff, staff salaries & perks by 15% NOW. This was done in the great depression(The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes)These EMPLOYEES forget who they are accountable to when they leave America & cross the river into the land of the "Potomac-ers" Tell your friends,relatives & neighbors 15% Down Now! Otherwise they will give us what they think we should have while they feather the nests ewe pay for.

Agree with much of what I have read here. However, on the issue of making it illegal not to have medical insurance I find the comments problematical. We mandate that people must have auto insurance because if one does not then one is leaving it open for another party to be injured without regress. Similarly we dont want the at fault driver to be getting his injuries taken care of by another party without having auto insurance medical to pay. If people do not have medical insurance then they end up in thehospital ER at the tax payers expense or private insurance picks up the

torch since charity at the hospital needs some place to go to make up for the revenue. Additionally, public insurance pays for those who many times simply have their own resources but refuse to fund them like those that refuse to drive with auto insurance. I know a woman who is related to a prominent national politician whose family bank rolls her dinners out pedicures and the like but she does not purchase private insurance.

..." the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail."......

I would like to see the attempt of any official, to try and enforce this upon my family, or my friends, and neighbors, who also do not agree to this.

I cannot picture any TRUE law enforcement official, that would even agree, with trying to enforce this supposed "law".

These people in congress, are picking a fight.........with the wrong people.........not a good idea!

Why are Republicans so like lambs to slaughter? Norm Coleman is the best example of Democrat amoral effort to corrupt the voting system. It's really hard to be be conservative, i.e. honest, upright, considerate, and fight the Dems who obviously feel that their ends justify their means. How do we hew to our honesty and fight the cheaters?

The assumption made with government healthcare is that we will all go along with it. I am reminded of the Stamp Act and other "Acts" that patriots decided they could NOT go along with. And they were willing to pay the price of that disobedience. The same principle applies here: I will not go along with participating with government healthcare. I will be fined. I will not pay the fine. I will go to jail...if millions of Americans do this, what is the government to do? Put us all in jail?

Nothing will happen to the thug at Ft Hood, because he is muslim. Why is the mastermind of 9/11 being tried in a civilian court , instead of a Military court,m because he, too ,is muslim, as is the leader of our Country. Look at the asses Obama has kjssed up to and how he has put down our American beliefs and ideals. We are a Christian country( not muslim ) and even though our congress and president seem to ignore this, we have a Constitution ! Congress works FOR US. Remind them on election day.

I am starting a SAR Team (Save a Republic)

Mr. Obama stated that he and his administration are the only thing between the CEO's of big corporations and the pitchforks. Who does he think is between him , his administration and the pitchforks??? The time may be getting closer than they think to find out!

Obama outlawed the word "Terrorist", so he won't use it to describe the Jihadist massacre at Ft. Hood. Also, he would figure the shrink-assassin couldn't be a terrorist; he wasn't wearing a body bomb.

It may be soon that we need a Second American Revolution.

They say (MAY), fine you or whatever, if you stand on your rights they cannot, and wouldnot be able to do anything to you but get mad and cry out loud.

WAKE UP AMERICA, remember who you are and push back.

What are they gonna do, throw 20 million people in jail, come on people.WAKE UP.

Yesterday, a reader named Neil wrote the following:

"With the passage of the health care legislation I will finally get my health care for free. President Eisenhower explained it clearly: If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking ... is freedom. I will willingly turn myself in to the authorities and go to jail. Free housing, free food, free clothes, free health care. I'll just read The Patriot Post all day! Is there a provision in the legislation to build more jails and prisons? In a Ghandi-inspired protest, we should simply overwhelm our law enforcement agencies, courts and prison systems by saying, 'I am not buying your required health insurance and I am here to turn myself in!'" --Neal

I've been doing a lot of thinking about this kind of thing lately. Mostly it is a very funny suggestion, amusing but with a purpose. But the truth is that going to jail in this way is the only way to send something to the supreme court to be judged as constitutional or not. (Honestly, part of me is fearful of what the Supreme court would determine anyway...) But I think that so many other Constitution-loving Americans like myself that believe it is unconstitutional and that might consider making a real stand against it, won't. We won't because we are raising families and running businesses and supporting the country in these ways that we feel that even if it were not terrifying to stand up and do something, it would also be irresponsible with so many people depending on us in our current capacities. So much more of the far left works the system without the inconvenience and burden of feeling responsible for a family to take care of or a business to run.

But, really, what can any of us do without sacrificing everything?

..." the government may fine you, prosecute you, and even put you in jail."......

I would like to see the attempt of any official, to try and enforce this upon my family, or my friends, and neighbors, who also do not agree to this.

You, Sir, are an American. How blessed the people must be, who are on the list in this post to have YOU in their midst. You are asserting your God- given rights and you can look for all Heaven to assist you. Our Fathers looked to Heaven to vindicate their righteous position and He did, so will it be with you.

"Righteousness exaltheth a Nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34

As Davey Crockett, Tennessee, said, "Be sure your right and go ahead." The Spirit of Tennessee and the Constitution of Tennessee salute you. Tennessee Constitution, Article I, Section 2, "That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against ARBITRARY POWER and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind."

Well Done, Sir, God Bless you.

General John J Pershing aka Black Jack of the

10th US Cavalry(think diversity), knew how to handle Jihadists such as Major Hasan. After

execution by firing squad, bury the Jihadist in a

pig skin. Make sure the word of the burial reaches the other Jihadists (Moro warriors): no Virgins,

no Paradise, only the eternal fires of Hell await.

Now thats understanding "Der Kulture".

I have thought about Neal's idea before he published his on the PP. If only 5% of each community gave up their job, which forfeits tax dollars, and turned himself over to the prison system, the combined dollar amounts would hit congress awfully hard in the wallet. Also, when you add the cost of litigation and additional prison facility costs to house all of these new "criminals", it would completely flood the system. We just need 5% to commit to quit...I'm willing if you are. :)

James Lewis' remarks in "The Last Word" on 11/16/009 are right on the money with one exception.

As a former Chicagoan now living in a Red State, the idea that Obama is part of a "Chicago Mob" is incorrect. Yes, Chicago style politics have always been about things such as patronage, payoffs and running the city like, well, Chicago.

But, Obama is NOT a Chicagoan. He is someone who simply lived there while cutting his teeth as an activist and getting himself thrust into the national limelight. Obama-style politics is Marxism, pure and simple.

Unfortunately, Chicago is sometimes viewed in a negative light. Please don't insult it by implying a connection with Obama.

Indeed, the 21st Century American Revolution is

near at hand. In all humilty, I've been predicting

it for a very long time and now bloggers, the Patriot Post, T.V. pundits and even a couple of

'concerned' politicians are talking about a "tax

revolt" or a downright "insurrection". Well, my fellow Americans, perhaps it is time to re-read the first four paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence, for if you think a few constitutional liberties are currently, purposely being taken from us, then just wait, there's more to come. Our ultimate reaction to this leftist insanity may bespeak more than just our 1st and 2nd Amendment Rights.

"The right of resisting oppression is a natural right." --President Andrew Jackson (another fine Tennessean)

Thank you ma'am...and thank you for your blessing.

So much for global warming (heating as some put it): The October 2009 average temperature for the contiguous United States was the third coolest on record for that month according to NOAA's State of the Climate report issued. Based on data going back to 1895, the monthly National Climatic Data Center analysis is part of the suite of climate services provided by NOAA. See http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2009/20091110_octoberstats.html

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God." A violation of that oath requires removal of office. As of two weeks ago, I can think of at least 220 people in our land who once again became guilty of, at a minimum, sedition. Where are the indictments???

I had an email from a friend saying while traveling home she saw a bumper sticker that really made her laugh. It said PRAY FOR OBAMA PSALM 109:8 "Let his days be few and another take his place" NAS Some of the other translations are just as good. I have prayed this for years and seen it work. I would rather pray, "Lord save him or move him out".

How can the president(it's difficult to call him that) of our great country receive these wonderful Patriot daily issues of truth?

T.W.I.M.C.

Your November 11, e-mail had a quote from Thomas Jefferson relating to general welfare and enumerations of power. This is such an excellent quote relating to what is happening today that I should like to read the totality of what Jefferson wrote. Would you please provide info necessary to obtain when , where and under what circumstances this quote came from.

Respectfully,

Alex G. Parniuk

p.s. keep up the great work you are doing.

The push for healthcare reform is motivated by our current financial disaster from all government promises. Congress has promised Medicare, Medicaid, Prescription Drug, and Social Security services over the next 75 years that are underfunded by $88.6 trillion ($88,600 billion).

The public discussion is about the burden of $1 trillion ($1,000 billion) in extra taxes over 10 years. The true shortfall is 12 times as much, more than $1 trillion per year.

The Democratic "solution" to this political and economic problem is to put everyone into one medical care pot. We then all get equal amounts of services at whatever high tax rate the government can levy. The young must be coerced into this system, to extract as much money as possible to serve the old.

Our politicians want to obscure their part in this disaster. Or, at least delay the day of reckoning until they can leave office with more money. Even if this makes the eventual collapse much worse.

Obamacare Bails Out Medicare

Joke: We lose money on every patient, but we plan to make it up on volume.

I think this is funny, but ObamaCare thinks it is a plan.

My article, which I recommend in the above post is

Obamacare Bails Out Medicare

. . easyopinions.blogspot.com/2009/09/obamacare-bails-out-medicare.html

My husband and I agree with Neal -- everyone should tell our law enforcers that they may just as well come and get us, because we are not going to "go along" with Obamacare. It will increase our taxes, decrease our health care, and WE DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR LIFE!!!!!!!

OBAMA AND HIS CHICAGO THUGS REALLY SHOULD READ THE CONSTITUTION! OR MAYBE WATCH GLENN BECK!

I agree with Neil when he said, "In a Ghandi-inspired protest, we should simply overwhelm our law enforcement agencies, courts and prison systems by saying, 'I am not buying your required health insurance and I am here to turn myself in!'" --Neal

We can organize "T parties"--"Turn yourself in" parties.
