Getting Back on the Road to Prosperity

October 10, 2012

2012-10-10-chronicle-thumbnail
Of the two candidates running for president, only one has even a remote chance to put America back on the road to prosperity. Hint: It's not the incumbent. In other news, the Left focuses on Sesame Street or excuses about why Obama lost the debate last week -- anything to avoid the 800-lb gorilla in the room known as the economy.

Univision Scoops Big Leftmedia

October 3, 2012

2012-10-03-chronicle-thumbnail
The Spanish news channel Univision uncovered another angle of the story of Fast and Furious -- the massacre of Mexican citizens with guns from the Obama operation. In other news, the Leftmedia are spinning a voter ID ruling, covering for Obama on Libya and (still) labeling conservatives "racists."

Releasing Jihadis From Gitmo

September 26, 2012

2012-09-26-chronicle-thumbnail
Investor's Business Daily says, "Osama bin Laden's bodyguard may soon exit Guantanamo Bay, along with dozens of others. Bad idea. To keep the U.S. homeland safe, dangerous terrorists should check into Gitmo -- not check out." In other news, Obama addresses the UN and we replay some of his more egregious comments, Democrats continue their classist line of attack on taxes while we look at the real reason those taxes are collected. Don't forget to finish it off with Short Cuts.

Blaming a Video for Muslim Violence

September 19, 2012

2012-09-19-chronicle-thumbnail
The administration has made the implausible assertion that an amateur YouTube video is what started the violence in Egypt and Libya last week. We doubt even they actually believe it. Meanwhile, the media work into a lather over a video of Mitt Romney speaking against dependency, Obama explains that the debt doesn't matter and Jay Leno explains the administration's thinking on unemployment. All that and more!

Teachers Strike, Children Suffer

September 12, 2012

2012-09-12-chronicle-thumbnail
The Chicago Teachers Union rejected a generous new contract offer that included a 16 percent pay raise because they don't want to be held accountable for some other bad numbers: For example, nearly 80 percent of the district's 8th graders can't read at grade level. Meanwhile, the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed by jihadis not unlike those we apologized to in Egypt. And the New York Times marked the 9/11 anniversary by slamming George W. Bush. All that and more!

Rebuilding Obama's Sand Castle

September 5, 2012

2012-09-05-chronicle-thumbnail
The thrill of 2008 may be gone for most of America, but you wouldn't know it from the look of thousands of mindless Democrats gathering in Charlotte to pay homage to "free" health care and every other Big Government initiative on the books, as well as, of course, the Chosen One himself.

The GOP's Opportunity

August 29, 2012

2012-08-29-chronicle-thumbnail
Republicans have a real opportunity this week to contrast between their vision for America with Obama's. They shouldn't waste it. Traditionally, the sitting president takes the week off during the opposing party's convention. Not Obama, who's on the campaign trail trying to recast his opponents, all with the willing help of the Leftmedia. As always, there's much more.

Left Attacks Ryan's Medicare Plan With Falsehoods

August 22, 2012

2012-08-22-chronicle-thumbnail
While much of the media works to make Todd Akin's foolish statement into the new GOP motto, the president continues to attack Paul Ryan's Medicare reform proposal with false charges of harming seniors. In other news, Leftists argue that Jesus would support massive tax hikes and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg offers his nonsensical immigration plan. All that and more!

Is Obama Against the Military Vote?

August 8, 2012

2012-08-08-chronicle-thumbnail
The Obama campaign sued Ohio over a law regarding early voting in an effort some think is designed to suppress the military vote. That's not the whole story, but Obama's certainly no fan of the military. Meanwhile, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi babble incoherently, Obama charges Romney with being a Reverse Robin Hood, and Frank J. Fleming has a plan for Hollywood.

The Wisdom of Milton Friedman

August 1, 2012

2012-08-01-chronicle-thumbnail
Renowned economist Milton Friedman was born 100 years ago Tuesday. His philosophy had a great positive effect on the economy and remains useful to us today. Meanwhile, a look at how government is undermining the economy now through subprime loans, more on the Chick-fil-A controversy and a Demo-gogue tying the Aurora shooting to ObamaCare.

'Gun Free' Zones Are Often Anything But

July 25, 2012

2012-07-25-chronicle-thumbnail
The horrific rampage in Aurora, Colorado, has prompted yet another debate over gun control because, as usual, the Left blames the instrument rather than the individual. Ironically, the theater where the shooting took place was a "gun free" zone, disarming the victims but doing nothing to stop the criminal.

'You Didn't Build That'

July 18, 2012

2012-07-18-chronicle-thumbnail
Barack Obama, who hasn't run so much as a lemonade stand, announced to small business owners, "You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." As always, he's extolling the virtue of big government. Meanwhile, Democrats threaten to throw everyone under the bus if Republicans don't let them raise taxes on the "rich." All that and more.

You Call That 'Tax Fairness'?

July 11, 2012

2012-07-11-chronicle-thumbnail
Barack Obama has renewed his push to raise taxes on the job creators, but what's interesting is that he's insisting that many small businesses must pay higher rates than some large corporations. That sounds fair, right?

Arizona Ruling a Mixed Bag

June 27, 2012

2012-06-27-chronicle-thumbnail

The Supreme Court's ruling on Arizona's immigration law was a partial win for both sides -- keep reading to see how. Also, Barack Obama boasts about the economy while Joe Biden brags that he's not middle class anymore. Plus crazy headlines and some hilarious one-liners.

Obama's Unilateral Immigration Policy

June 20, 2012

2012-06-20-chronicle-thumbnail

On Friday, the president decided it was up to him to change immigration law in the U.S. Oddly enough, his changes were also designed to help his re-election bid. Meanwhile, remarkable though it is, the Left continues to blame race for most of Obama's problems.

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)
