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!
My alumni association must have me on speed-dial, because they keep calling me for my generous donations to help eager students attend my old school. I finally had to tell them no, they are going in the wrong direction, and I will not support them in turning out young adults fit for nothing but begging money to run NGOs in foreign countries, or securing fat government paychecks as policymakers to run our lives as little dictators.
We need colleges that prepare our best and brightest for the real world, and Colbert's world is not real. Colbert panders to those who trivialize the issues, challenges and dangers of the real world into a well-packaged, attractive fantasy that misleads trusting young people into believing that what Colbert and his backers say is reality. Our teachers and professors have betrayed our children into believing that our world is what they see on television, and Bozell for years has well covered the folly and fallacy of that belief.
I will keep telling my alumni association that they will not get a dime of my money until they stop making education all about their administration's and faculty's self-serving priorities and agenda. I will be happy to help sponsor young minds in college only when college starts actually preparing them to understand and succeed in a world that responds well to useful skills and the desire to earn money honestly, not beg or steal it from others.
