Politicizing the Tornado

May 22, 2013

2013-05-22-chronicle-thumbnail

A Bad Joke Becomes Reality

May 15, 2013

2013-05-15-chronicle-thumbnail
Barack Obama once joked that he would use the IRS to target political enemies. It turns out he wasn't joking. We also hit Benghazi, Gosnell, the "Affordable" Care Act, the unbalanced budget and get a glimpse of why we shouldn't trust a politician who feels "constrained" by the Constitution.

Making the Sequester Painful

April 24, 2013

2013-04-24-chronicle-thumbnail
The Obama White House has turned a 4 percent cut to the FAA into a 40 percent rate of flight delays, all so they can blame Republicans. Meanwhile, we dig deeper into the Boston bombings and expose the Left's demented behavior on the subject. It's easy pickins, we know.

April 17, 2013

2013-04-17-chronicle-thumbnail

Beware 'Comprehensive' Immigration Reform

April 3, 2013

2013-01-30-chronicle-thumbnail
Congress is working on immigration reform once again, but they should refrain from cramming everything into a single bill again. That's a recipe for bad law. Also, Ed Feulner says farewell from the Heritage Foundation, Obama continues his shameful gun control push and the left turns Easter theology on its head.

Mind Changing on Missile Defense

March 20, 2013

Spring is in the air, which means it's time for another House budget, and more Senate and White House stonewalling. Take a look at some of the details of Paul Ryan's budget. We also have more on the sequester and guns, and you'll never guess who claims that "tax cuts are spending."

March 6, 2013

2013-03-06-chronicle-thumbnail
Hugo Chavez died Tuesday, leaving Venezuela without the socialist thug who had ruled for 14 years. Predictably, American leftists from Jimmy Carter to Sean Penn and Michael Moore lamented his passing, but what, exactly, was Chavez's real legacy? And how does it compare with the one of our own president?

Apocalypse Now

February 27, 2013

2013-02-27-chronicle-thumbnail
Democrats continue to warn that children will go without food and medicine, planes will be grounded, the weather will get out of control, and, in short, the world will end if the sequester isn't stopped. All that fuss over 2 percent of the budget. But they haven't forgotten about coming after your guns.

Obama's State of the Union

February 13, 2013

2013-02-13-chronicle-thumbnail
We excerpt the lowlights of last night's State of the Union address. To sum it up, Obama said that government can't solve every problem, and then he proceeded to offer a government "solution" to every problem. Plus other Democrats on guns and which amendment guarantees that right, Chris Dorner's manifesto and what's to blame for the asteroid passing near earth.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
