Neither rain nor sleet, nor snow nor dark of night will stay the post office from their appointed rounds. Debt on the other hand just might.
The USPS is running out of money, nearly bankrupt.
How can you be “NEARLY” bankrupt when you’re $10 BILLION in debt?
At that point shouldn’t the word “Nearly” just be removed?
Looks like it’s time for the Great Mail Route Bail Out!
Obama’ quietly has struck a part of his own Obamacare bill because, guess what, it’s unsustainable and now tha plug has been pulled on the “CLASS Act,” Community Living Assistance Service and Supports, part of Obamacare.
CLASS was the part of Obamacare most heavily championed by Ted Kennedy and also heavily backed by AARP and was supposed to have provided ongoing long term care and was meant to keep the elderly out of long term care facilities. It would have cost workers a ton and would have burdened private insurance companies and ultimately, the American taxpayers.
Average premiums would have run from around $200.00 to nearly $400.00 but could have, in some cases, run as high as $3000.00. Low income individuals would have only been charged $5.00 per month for the coverage but here was the giant problem…According to the CBO…the annual payout for those $5.00/month contributors would have been around $27,000.00.
Workers would have had $2,800.00/year automatically taken by the government for this program and would have had no choice but to enroll in it.
CLASS would have relied on the healthy young workers to cover the elderly for long term care outside of facilities.
Socialism always works until you run out of other people’s money.
Leave it to liberals to attempt yet another trial balloon aimed at bringing socialism to our nation. It was just a couple of weeks ago that the liberal North Carolina Governor floated the idea of suspending congressional elections for a couple of years.
That was met with great disdain by Patriots and she then tried to back away from her statement by claiming it to be hyperbole and sarcasm.
Now, Jesse Jackson Jr. the congressman from Illinois, has floated ANOTHER lame liberal trial balloon.
J.J. Jr. says that the GOVERNMENT should HIRE all 15 million unemployed workers at a cost of $600 BILLION dollars!!
According to J.J. Jr., “It could be a five-year program. For another $104 billion, we bail out all of the states. For another $100 billion, we bail out all of the cities.”
Now he’s up to $804 BILLION.
Oh…But WAIT…There’s MORE!!!…
Herman Cain has jumped into the lead of the GOP race to the nomination. He has bypassed Perry and now Romney. Cain is the front runner at this point and that can mean only one thing.
LET THE LIBERAL ATTACKS BEGIN!!!
While The National Patriot is not, at this time, endorsing any specific candidate, we will stand against unwarranted attacks upon them brought forth by liberals.
Completely unable to run on policy, the liberal machine has but a single strategy…Personally attack anyone they believe might be a threat.
Herman Cain is in a unique position as he has never before held an elective office – so when it comes to attacking Cain, his business record becomes the target, and what you will begin to see on social media will be designed to do one thing: Divide conservatives by planting the seeds of doubt.
Today, because of his front runner status, Herman Cain is the target.
Shadow here. I was perusing the DrudgeReport and came across an article regarding Alabama and their new anti-illegal rule. I am applauding Alabama. They managed to do something many states, most notably Arizona (who Mexico tried to sue… What???), were 
unable to do. They passed their version of SB1070. This is having a profound effect on the state as a whole. Read more here.
So, I got more air to clear, and you can probably guess the subject matter by now: Immigration. Specifically, illegal immigration.
First of all, for some, the phrase “illegal immigration” tends to conjure up images of the poor Mexican immigrant wearing a poncho and a sombrero just trying to make ends meet. While this may be true in some cases, there is a reason why “illegal immigration” isn’t written as “illegal MEXICAN immigration.” It is written as “illegal immigration” because not only Mexicans immigrate to the US illegally!! People from all over the world come here illegally, most maybe because they are looking for a better life or a life away from oppression. Regardless of WHY they come here illegally, the fact is they broke our laws in doing so, and have affected the whole fabric of the United States in the following ways (not inclusive):
Ha! I just got this email from SEIU – they obviously don’t have any idea who the hell I am, but I do love knowing what these trouble makers are up to.
By the way, the leaders at SEIU make over 6 figures…Hypocrites!!
Dear [Patriot Rocker],
By now you’ve seen the thousands of brave students, workers and the unemployed occupying Wall Street.
But did you know that as of yesterday, there are over 300 solidarity “occupy events” happening across the country and around the clock?
In Philadelphia, 1,000+ individuals took to City Hall on Tuesday night.
Hello again folks, Shadow here! And I want to talk to you about something that is guaranteed to make liberals wet their pants out of 
fear and a country boy to wet his pants out of excitement! YES, I am talking about GUNS!!! Or rather, my experiences and observations throughout my lifetime. Don’t worry, it won’t take too long!
My first contact with a firearm was when I was about 12. I was in Pennsylvania with my parents visiting some friends of theirs. Those folks were loaded and had quite the collection of weapons of various calibers. We had a “boys outing” with my brother, my stepfather and his friend we went to go visit. That outing consisted of shooting stuff out in the middle of nowhere. That was when I got the chance to fire my first 22 cal rifle. Honestly, I don’t know how well I shot, but it was an interesting experience from the perspective of a boy who was always taught that guns were bad. Yes, I grew up in the northeast, and you know how draconian some of those states can be. Anyway, the day I shot the rifle was the day that I realized a gun doesn’t make someone bad, and that guns themselves have no capacity for evil.
If you have, as I do, liberal frien
ds either in person or through social media, no doubt you, as have I, been on the receiving end of dismissive and at times, curse-laden retorts when you truthfully refer to their party as socialists.
Glenn Beck, for years, has been on the receiving end of such vitriol every time he brings up Cloward and Piven or Saul Alinsky.
I’m about to link it all together for you in one neat and tidy little package.
The “Occupy Wall Street” protests.
The “Occupy Wall Street” adult children have listed 13 proposed demands from their website. I especially love Demand 9.
Yeah, that should work out just perfect. Nothing like a couple hundred million poor people flooding into our country at the same time! Pure Genius! And go to the link below and read their comments, it’s fantastic! It will remind you of the 6th grade debate team! Completely oblivious to the real world.
Demand One: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour.
Ok folks, round two from the Shadow Patriot!
I am here to talk some seriousness now. I am going to talk preparedness. No, not the kind where you ring your house in sandbags, dig a moat and import alligators, though if you DO do that, please send me a photo! I am not talking about the post -apocalyptic zombie preparedness either, but if you go to those 
lengths you are DEFINITELY prepared. No, I am talking about preparing at least enough to weather the storm that may be coming.
What storm am I talking about? Well, any storm. And not just a really bad rainstorm either. I am talking about a storm of economic proportions. And I am not even convinced that it will get that bad, but I fear it will. And to protect against an economic storm, I am doing a few things.
