Re: The Patriot Post at 30 — From Humble Beginnings
“Thank you to the entire Patriot Post team for the Liberty touchstone you provide for those of us stuck in socialist state wastelands.” —New York
“I’m not a subscriber but have visited your website daily for years — and I donate for that reason! It is refreshing to visit a site that is ad-free. Thank you, team!” —Arizona
“God bless the Patriot Post team. May you continue to charge on for the next 30 years and beyond!” — Massachusetts
“Thank you to the Patriot Post team for your dedication and perseverance. I have been reading The Patriot Post for well over a decade now, and I point fellow conservatives to your website and publication regularly. Your columns and articles are timely and well written.” —Missouri
Re: The War on Terror Continues Because of Islam
“Let’s stop the nonsense about Islam being a religion of peace. It’s the only major religion in the world that prescribes the use of lethal violence both to coerce joining and to prevent leaving its membership. Islam is the religion that grows and rules by the sword.” —Texas
“We mustn’t forget that we are a nation founded on Christian values, along with a set of rules and laws we follow called the Constitution. Islam does not believe in any of this. Sure, Muslims are free to practice their religion (if you can even call it that), but what they are not free to do is push that belief onto any of us, and especially not call for our death because we don’t believe and will not conform. We have laws to protect this, and at the same time we have laws to protect our country from this kind of radical thinking or ideology. Look at the Amish; they’ve lived amongst us for many, many years. They’ve never pushed their way of life on those of us who live and think differently. They still practice their way of life without government interference; they live by our Constitution and the laws of the land. Many settlers came here with different religions, different cuisine, different rituals, different wardrobes, different languages — you name it. They were still free to do this without any interference from the government, and many still worship the way they did back in their home countries; they still cook their favorite recipes, and they still live in peace and harmony with us Americans, the way it was when the first foreigners came to the U.S. But NEVER did anyone coming to America from a different country insist that we Americans convert to Islam lest we be killed!” —Michigan
“It’s difficult to think of Islam as a religion instead of a failed ideology. Mohammad started out peacefully but couldn’t get anyone to follow him. So he started using jihad on everyone who wouldn’t follow his teachings. That’s where we are today — Islam declaring war on all infidels, which include you and me.” —Nebraska
“The mayor of New York City is a Muslim terrorist sympathizer. ‘Never forget’ turned into ‘We forgot.’ Today we have American cities that are now majority Muslim and that have mosques blasting out 5 a.m. ‘prayer calls’ — and they are not being shut down.” —Oklahoma
Re: Juror Intimidation Is Illegal, So Why Is Everyone Doing It in the Clancy Case?
“This is an example of the ‘democracy’ with which the Democrats want to replace our constitutional Republic, which has served us well for 250 years. A constitutional Republic is a nation of laws, which you have addressed with the laws against juror intimidation. This newfound ‘democracy’ is about the will of the majority, and it casts laws aside.” —North Dakota
“The government-sponsored murder of 70 million innocent preborn babies has inured us to the killing of children. May God have mercy on us.” —Pennsylvania
“This is just another excuse to murder your children when or if they become a burden. Our society is so morally twisted. The Left is giving a pass to these nuts so that they’ll hopefully vote Democrat. It’s all about getting people on their side! A woman (cannot remember where?) recently died in a house fire saving her toddler; she was able to get her other children out safely, but when she realized that the toddler was not out, she ran back in to save them. The mother was found dead, slumped over that child, who survived! A GoFundMe was started for this family, and as of Friday, $44,000 had been raised. Compare that to the over $1 million raised so far for Lindsay Clancy. What does that tell you?” —Michigan
“Unfortunately, Massachusetts has already slid all the way down the slippery slope into the immoral muck. We saw photos of the leftist women of Massachusetts cheering and celebrating their leftist Democrat governor as she signed a bill to legalize abortion right up to the time of birth. Now they want to acquit mothers who murder their children! Shame on them!” —South Carolina
Re: Now Trump Is the Threat to Elections?
“The rights of American citizens are many and varied. All are precious and fragile. They can be lost in the blink of an eye. So, which is the most precious of them all? The right to vote. The right to exercise your franchise is worth more than gold. With the exception of active-duty military members stationed overseas, there should be no excuse not to vote in person, after proving your citizenship. Got a business trip planned? Reschedule it. Got a midterm, medical appointment, yoga class, or hangout with the gang on election day? Vote before or after the event. Too lazy to go to the polls? No problem — just don’t complain if your candidate loses.” —Texas
Re: Americans Have Forgotten Our History
“The NEA is one of several contributors to the public’s lack of understanding of our constitutional Republic. For decades, this cabal of leftists has inculcated young Americans with false ideas, such as a nonbinding ‘living constitution’ and the assertion that all of the Founders were white, racist, capitalist exploiters of the masses. Now, clearly knowing the Marxist secular humanist political aim of this organization to reeducate our citizens into its destructive worldview, we can safely assert that it is purely intentional as a means of justifying the destruction of our Republic.” —North Carolina
“Frankly, every article I see concerning artificial intelligence just sends a message of ‘Beware!’ I see something that others — whom we know nothing about — are controlling, and who knows what kind of nastiness will result. Why is this even necessary? What exactly is its purpose and end result? Are there those who intend to eliminate humans altogether? Yeah, it sounds a bit loony, but frankly, so are robots that can kill you!” —Colorado
