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
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!
Ms. Noonan's articles are generally the most whitewashed perspective on the world inside the Beltway that I ever read. It's the writing of a woman perhaps too long exposed to the characters of politics. She knows them and the little idiosyncrasies that humanize them, which outside viewers rarely see. And because they're so obviously human, their actions have noble motives, and so they must be good people. As a result, their policies can never be bad, dangerous, destructive, unconstitutional, or just plain wrong, they can only be 'ineffective.'
It's an honest criticism that doesn't make you feel as if the country is circling the drain. It can be refreshing, but it muddies the waters, makes the big picture and the true nature of the consequences brought by our leaders' actions harder to see.
