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

A short-term increase in the debt ceiling is acceptable if and only if it is part of a plan to permanently cut federal spending below the current revenue levels. The increased borrowing must be used only as part of an orderly reduction and elimination of unconstitutional federal spending programs.Otherwise, we'll have to force Mr. Obama to do a cold turkey shutdown of his spending addiction. He should have started doing that back in May, when we first officially passed the debt limit, but no, like any addict, he is irresponsible in his habit.I'm sure if any of us could take his place as President for a day, we'd call up Congress and demand a bill canceling appropriations for specific agencies. Check out USdebtclock.org - we have enough revenue to cover debt payments, defense, most of Social Security and Medicare, and the federal pension fund. We can't do all of that and "income security" also, so the rest of the unconstitutional welfare programs have to go to the "states respectively, or to the people" where they belong in the first place.
