Patriot Update - A Free Press for the Conservative Revolution

Barack Obama was feted by many as a messiah. His supporters compared him to Jesus. He even equated himself to Superman, saying at a dinner that he had been “born on Krypton and sent here … to save the planet Earth.” The remark was presented as a joke, but the effect of Obama’s ego is no laughing matter.

It’s no wonder that Charlton Heston was a Republican. The Democratic Party platform seeks to overturn the ten foundational laws, found in Exodus 20:2-17, that God gave us to govern ourselves. These simple yet profound laws form the basis of faith, family, freedom, and private property. Sadly, we are watching the systematic erosion of these laws and ultimately the demise of Western Civilization.

Open wide: ObamaCare is about to be shoved down your throat. As the dust settles after the seven-hour Obama talk-a-thon called the health care summit, it is obvious that Obama never intended to actually listen, or consider compromise despite America’s desire for just that.

Patriot Depot had an excellent time last week at CPAC. We met tons of our fellow conservatives and shared our supplies for the Conservative Revolution with them. The one speech we did get to hear in person was Glenn Beck’s keynote address. Glenn is amazing to hear in person and he seems to have an unending supply of wonderful points.

Congressman Phil Gingrey (R) held a town hall meeting at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton on Tuesday. In preparation for his visit, my staff scheduled a private meeting to present two petitions that we've collected listing nearly 150,000 names and addresses of people across the nation.

On the issue of constitutional eligibility, we are embarrassed that these smart men, whom we admire, are either unwilling or too arrogant to look closely at these serious issues. Instead they attack others for having the audacity to ask questions – questions they normally would ask if they had their facts correct.

Americans are waking up with a whopping Obama-hangover, and it’s not a pretty sight. Daily, it dawns on ever more Americans that the man in the White House is not the one they thought they met when he waltzed onto the stage and stole their hearts at recent Democratic National Conventions.

“By the time I took office, we had a one-year deficit of over $1 trillion and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade,” Obama said in his State of the Union speech. The theme is clear. According to the Obama Administration deficits as far as the eye can see are the fault of one man: George W. Bush. They relentlessly push this message from the Obama White House. Let’s do a little fact checking.
