THE PATRIOT POST - ALEXANDER'S COLUMN 11/27/2019

Liberty in the Balance

Impeachment is all the Democrats have — but don't underestimate their resolve.

Mark Alexander

"Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rests the happiness and Liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves." —Joseph Warren (1775) Fellow Patriots, the collusion between the Democrat Party, its billionaire socialist benefactors, and its mainstream media propaganda machine poses the most significant domestic threat to American Liberty today. Countering the Leftmedia's chokehold on public opinion was the inspiration for the first edition of The Patriot Post back in 1996. But media promotion of the Democrats' agenda is more brazen now than at any time in our history. Since Donald Trump took office in January 2017, we have witnessed two well-organized efforts to unseat him. Arguably, each of these subterfuges can be fairly described as a coup d'état. Until Robert Mueller's investigation, spawned by Barack Obama's deep-state actors in the CIA and FBI, was taken off life support last summer, the Demo/MSM chorus was nonstop: "Russia! Russia! Russia!" Today, we're witnessing coup d'état 2.0 — an impeachment charade also orchestrated by a cabal of Obama's deep-state saboteurs — and the Demo/MSM's new nonstop chorus is no less monotonous than the first one: "Ukraine! Ukraine! Ukraine!" Impeachment is all the Democrats have — but don't underestimate their resolve. After all, they succeeded in taking back control of the House in 2018 with their Russia ruse. Now they're after control of the Senate, the future of the Supreme Court, and the presidency in 2020. For the record, the Trump administration's "Make America Great Again" promise was much more than a campaign slogan. In less than three years, Republicans have added two Supreme Court justices and filled federal judicial seats at a record pace, returning the balance of the courts toward constitutional conservatism. They have achieved major tax cuts, record job and wage growth and record-low unemployment, and enormous cuts in government regulations. Furthermore, Trump is the first president since Ronald Reagan to move the trade and foreign-policy needles in the right direction. That notwithstanding, Democrats and their Leftmedia publicists are vigorously endeavoring to divert attention from the administration's success — which is wholly antithetical to their statist objectives. They are doing this mostly by way of diversion, obstruction, and deception. Countering that threat remains our most critical objective, and the voice and reach of The Patriot Post are now stronger and wider than ever. The Patriot Post is today one of the most effective (and cost effective) means of refuting the Left's lies about our nation and its character. But we certainly didn't get here on our own. Though some nicknamed my mentor, Ronald Reagan, "The Great Communicator," he said humbly, "I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation — from our experience, our wisdom, and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries." The Patriot Post's success is the result of our steadfast devotion to and advocacy of those same principles, and our ability to succeed in our mission is solely due to those of you who have supported us all along the way. Our constituents are, like you, grassroots American Patriots. You are the bedrock defenders of our nation's legacy of Liberty. We are the touchstone for "support and defense" of our Constitution and the unalienable Rights of Man — the eternal rights of all people as endowed by our Creator. Our mission and operations budget is a mere fraction of the resources available to leftist groups and their Leftmedia partners. But our practical and applicable message of Liberty reaches countless conservative leaders and frontline Patriots, who then promote that message to their grassroots constituents across the nation. I ask that you help us to continue that vital work and to grow our ranks by supporting The Patriot Fund's 2019 Year-End Campaign today. We have just a few weeks remaining to raise more than half of our annual budget. In the words of George Washington, "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of all mankind! ... Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions." Thank you for being vigilant and faithful in your support of Liberty. We're humbled to count you among the ranks of today's Patriots, and it's my great privilege to serve you as editor of The Patriot Post. I will be sending you our Thanksgiving message tomorrow morning. As always, we ask that you join us in daily prayer for our Patriots in uniform — Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen — standing in harm's way in defense of Liberty, and for their families.
