Policy and Analysis
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!
The statements by Stephen Pyne are probably most accurate: “………crews have experienced changes in firefighting strategies and agencies have changed policies in fighting wildfires in isolated areas. In the last 20 years or so, agencies have generally been reluctant to put firefighters at risk in remote areas, It wasn't like that decades ago. Instead, agencies have focused attention on burnout operations until conditions are safe to begin containment."
Until such time politics and environmentalism is removed from the equasion and crews are allowed to take the fight to the fire in it's incipient stages, it's gonna be burn baby burn! A sky full of airtankers and angry/confused citizenry is good PR for increased budgets.
Smoke em while you got em folks...get used to it!
