Re: Partisan Military Actors Terminated
“Proof, in this case, that these women were promoted using DEI criteria and NOT based on their personal merit. How many more of these seditious military leaders are buried within our military? There are, without a doubt, more highly qualified women who could have served within these positions with distinction but were passed over for being too patriotic and loyal to their oath of office.” —Massachusetts
Re: Our 250th Patriots’ Day — With Gratitude
“Thank you for this walk through American history. As a first-generation American, conservative to the core, I am envious of your lineage of Patriots building and defending Liberty.” —Illinois
“I just took the Freedom Trail in Boston, an annual reminder of the fact that the cradle of civilization might be Virginia, but the Fires of Liberty were lit in Massachusetts! And as a fellow member of the Sons of the American Revolution with Mark Alexander, we appreciate the history and The Patriot Post’s commitment to defending Liberty today and extending that blessing to the next generation.” —Massachusetts
Re: Trump’s ‘Shock and Awe’ Tariff Strategy
“From the early decades of the last century, there has been an ongoing trade war against the United States, and for the last 60 years, we have not fired back — until now! Thanks, Alexander, for setting the record straight on Trump’s motives and strategy!” —California
“Congress, without a doubt, must get its act together. The midterms will tell the tale. Everyone in this country wants to cut the cost of government spending. Congress just does not get it. The vote for President Trump was just this: a mandate to get the darn budget under control.” —Massachusetts
Re: SAVE Our Elections With Voter ID
“Voter ID is way past overdue. So are term limits! We need a rotation of scoundrels who say they are representing us. In Illinois, we have skunks and bigger skunks to vote for. Voter ID won’t stop the Democrats from cheating!” —Illinois
“Colorado’s full attack on our Second Amendment is a career criminal’s dream come true. The state has guaranteed that law-abiding citizens will not likely be armed against violent offenders. Criminal elements are not affected by obtaining any firearm they want through a thriving black market, bypassing all legal requirements. The increase in violent offenses that Colorado has experienced despite ever-increasing firearm restrictions pretty much proves this point. Democrats, however, are more likely to double down on bad policy that didn’t produce what they set out to achieve. This tactic reminds me of the comical posters we had in our workplace: ‘The beatings will continue until morale improves.’” —New York
“Apparently, there is a lot of the ‘smoking of the weed’ in Colorado. They probably don’t care as long as you give them gummies, brownies, and whatever other form of weed to ingest. The entire West Coast is being lost to liberals without a fight.” —Illinois
Re: Colorado Dems Want Kidnapping by the State
“We won’t be able to vote out the communists in Colorado because of mail-in voting.” —Colorado
Re: Taxpayers Funding Unhealthiness?
“It is a good question. But it is a bottomless pit from which there is no recovery. Tobacco is a problem, but not nearly as much as alcohol. Its impact on society is enormous. What about sexual promiscuity? AIDS and various other sexually communicable diseases? If you are going to sleep around with multiple partners and engage in abnormal sexual practices, should society then pay the brunt of the penalty that is due to them for their error? The answer to all those questions is the same. But society (i.e., voters) would never tolerate such a disciplined approach.” —Tennessee
“I think that Kennedy is on the right track here. If you are sexually promiscuous, should taxpayers pay for your abortions? Your HPV treatments? And what about drug-related illnesses? Personal accountability should be ingrained in every citizen at a young age.” —Pennsylvania
Re: Letters From Nam
“This article brought tears to my eyes as I remembered our ‘Honor Flight’ to DC from Springfield, MO. I especially recognized myself when ‘Mail Call’ was sounded. Thank you to everyone who has donated to the various programs to make these flights possible, and a hearty ‘Welcome home, brother’ to all my fellow veterans. Glad you made it back.” —Missouri
Re: Profiles of Valor: PFC James ‘Doc’ McCloughan (USA)
“I knew Doc and served with him. He was and remains every bit the Patriot your profile presents. Thank God for real men like him and so many others who have served our nation with honor and distinction!” —Montana
