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
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
The irony is, both ends of the spectrum have the same shorcoming: Namely, having grown up with everything handed to them, whether it be from affluent parents who "want [their] kids to not have to work hard and suffer they way [they] did", or a government that believes people incapable of helping themselves. In either case, we end up with a generation of immature young adults who lack any knowledge or appreciation of the value of hard work. Or the value of a dollar. A generation of socially underdeveloped brats that think whatever they want should be handed to them, simply because they want it.
