Our Team

• Management Team
• Senior Analysts and Writers
• Staff
• National Advisory Committee

The Patriot Post's management, senior analysts and writers, are all constitutional constructionists who possess impeccable professional and academic credentials commensurate with our mission to produce and distribute the highest quality digest of news analysis, policy and opinion on the Internet.

Likewise, The Patriot'sNational Advisory Committee is a consortium of conservative men and women — political analysts and policy experts who possess impeccable professional and academic credentials — who have provided us with inspiration and encouragement since our inception. The Committee is composed — first and foremost — of constitutional constructionists, charged with advocating the timeless and enduring truths reflected in our American heritage and set forth in our nation's founding documents.

The Statement of Allegiance as subscribed by The Patriot's Team and Advisors: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, so help me God."

We asked our Team and National Committee to provided some brief personal information, including their name, favorite Founder, three favorite books (beyond the Bible, which would top every list), and just for fun, their weapon of choice.
