A “Must Read” from Dr. Sowell. Last night, I met one of “The Hungry,” a young guy ahead of me at Walgreens, who tried to buy 2 energy drinks with a food stamps credit card. It didn't work, so he used a $100 bill. The older clerk, not as fit, looking tired from standing all day at a low-paid job, said after he left, "Our money." Though I’m 66, & on oxygen for pulmonary fibrosis, a terminal illness that kills as many as breast cancer, I’m not “hungry,” because I work full time. How much longer are folks going to take it? I will link to this from my Old Jarhead blog.

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)
