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!
"I remember learning the multiplication tables. The sister stood at the front of the classroom with large flashcards and made us go over them and over them -- until every student knew them by heart."
Ah the memories. K-12 I attended a Catholic school operated by the good Sisters of St. Joseph. Rote memorization, diagramming sentences, long division, calculating square root by hand, logarithms, proving theorems, and outling texts by hand, absolutely. And learn we did.
And the neighborhood. On any given Saturday or day of the summer I could leave the house before my parents got up and not be back until dark and they never worried a bit.
