About Us
Patriot Majority Today is a news and information source for Americans who want our country to remain a strong world leader throughout the 21st Century.
Patriot Majority Today will uncover issues ignored by policy makers and under-reported by many news organizations:
- The U.S. military has declined precipitously under the leadership of President Bush and his Congressional allies.
- America enters the 21st Century unprepared to respond to new crises and potential military competitors throughout the world.
- America is - incredible as it seems -- outsourcing the manufacturing of key weapons and military equipment to China.
- Reading and math test scores in the United States were improving at a faster rate before No Child Left Behind was signed into law.
- America's incoherent energy policies are making us dependent not just on foreign oil but, long-term, on foreign producers of alternative and renewable energies.
- The Bush Administration and its Congressional allies have pursued policies that have reduced the effectiveness of the Army Corps of Engineers, which once set the American standard for civilian and military preparedness.
- The current White House and its supporters have failed to care for America's veterans, subjecting our nation's heroes to bureaucratic incompetence and deplorable medical facilities.
As a news and information source, Patriot Majority Today will provide benchmarks for promoting American democracy and patriotism in the 21st Century and - befitting our mission of active patriotism - we will expose those who pursue public policy that hurts our nation and undermines our patriotic ideals.

Our National Guard: Paying The Price In IraqPresident George Bush has just over six months left in office, but his Iraq deployment policies continue to put an incredible strain on not only our active-duty Armed Forces, but, with our military stretched so thin, the administration has continued to deploy tens of thousands of our troops from the National Guard -- at levels our country has not experienced since World War II.

The emerging college affordability crisis threatens to derail the American Dream for millions of young people who either cannot afford to attend college or who are saddled with crippling debt that prevents them from furthering their education, starting a family or buying a home. This emerging crisis has not been a prominent part of the national debate, despite its long-term threat to the future of our country.
American Dream Threatened by College Affordability Crisis -
America’s Long-Term Military Capability May Be Threatened by Iraq StrategyAmerica's ability to defend itself and, if necessary, fight a conventional war may be eroding because of military strategies in Iraq, according to a West Point historian who served two combat tours in Iraq. According to Lt. Colonel Gian Gentile, a West Point history professor who served in Iraq as an executive officer of a combat brigade in Tikrit and as commander of a battalion northwest of Baghdad, the over-emphasis on counterinsurgency as a "solution to every problem" is contributing to America "losing the ability to wage any other kind of war." After eight years of decline in military readiness, the United States can no longer afford to ignore the informed patriotism of Col. Gentile and others who speak out on America's national security needs in the 21st Century.
