John J. Bastiat

John Bastiat joined The Patriot Post in 2007 in the wake of China's egregious anti-satellite "test," which clearly demonstrated China's intent not to play well with others in international arenas — a path that hasn't changed since. John flew USAF fighters in his early life, but today when he's not flying globally with a major airline John's other "day job" is as an attorney. Like every one of our other writers, John strongly believes in American exceptionalism and the role an understanding of Western Civilization should play in the lives of all Americans.
