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!
I fail to see what the problem is here. The Bush Administration cut essential funding for the National Fire Plan which furloughed Forest Service Smokejumpers and fire service. Instead W championed the Healthy Forest Initiative which allowed for logging clearing the fire fuel from the forest. Clearly a superior solution.
I fail to see the need for government tankers, there are private tankers available, one private firm even leasing out a DC10! There are many private companies that will sell advanced fire prevention systems that will foam your house There are even private fire fighting services available that will respond to your property when wild fires threaten it.
All of these private solutions would certainly provide better and more efficient protection than any government workers.
Also anyone with any personal responsibility would have proper and complete fire insurance policies from private firms covering their property and temporary relocation assistance.
I do not see why we even bother to criticize the government response to these disasters.
We should use these opportunities as Conservatives to highlight their faults and push for complete privatization of these services.
Less government, more private sector solutions!
