I think that the tepid response could in part be due to a growing maturity of concerned people who realize that the whole basis of "Patriotism" in the ancient American sense was based on a type of Protestant anti-reconciliation and self-justification where its love of "freedom" implied granting token freedoms to a selected handful in the world who could contribute to its *weltanschauung* but which deprived the vast majority of peoples elsewhere on the planet of communion and development in terms of solving their own problems and having access to other cultures and interactions. If this is the case, than I feel it is a step forward in the maturation process of "Americans" that will lead to greater stability and hope for the majority.

did not see whichever original article Mr. Pritchard refers to, but looking at this bio on his website I immediately not phrases like 'army intelligence', 'Department of Human Services', 'Child Supportment Enforcement Specialist'.

I don't know this man, so I would not presume to say he is anything but the nicest, most patriotic person who has ever lived. But I think he must no really understand what people are looking for. He has almost the exact resume of someone that we would want to eject from the government, not someone we would want to have a position of more authority.

The tepid response to Jeff Pritchard did not surprise me. Over the past few weeks, I have been attempting to join the local Tea Party. To put it mildly, it's been disappointing.

The head of the local Tea Party refuses to address the issue of Obama's citizenship or the rampant vote fraud that keeps the bums in office. Instead, they want to run candidates who espouse their views.

Yes, I've tried telling them it's a little late in the day for that sort of thing. Especially since we have a Communist in the White House who is busily communizing the USA.

They don't seem to care about that. Maybe they will when they start opening the concentration camps down here.

Concerning Pritchard, many of us do not agree that it is a matter of apathy and hopelessness. It is a mater of trust! This country is totally and mortally within the grips of the Talmud. With your published knowledge, you know I speak the truth! All positions of authority and trust are replete with hypocrites or actors if you like. Of course, that means lies and con-men/women are legion. Preachers, teachers, politicians, actors or other public opinion molders cannot be trusted. In addition, their only need or conviction is money…by any means necessary! Simply reading the words (addressed to children and not adults) and seeing a picture of a candidate is enough to scuttle the attempt. Not all people are the ignorant goy of which they are accused. When an aware goy sees the attempt at leadership he/she knows through trust given and trust spit upon and trampled into the latrine of scoundrels, Ambush and Bam-bam for example, what appears honest in this society must be thoroughly cross-examined or summarily rejected. Sometimes people are willing to forgo, the one more time, “Trust Me!” ploy.

Kelley said (June 8, 2010):

The main reason I looked no further into Jeff Pritchard is that in his original letter, Jeff seems to be hedging his position on “the war on terror”. It is unclear where he stands… to me at least. He appears to give credence to the official lies about 9-11, while at the same time complaining about the nature of the response and expressing a desire to change the fight into something he feels is a more appropriate target. Aren’t all politicians doing that?

A more precise accounting of his beliefs is surely to be found on his website I’m sure. But hey Jeff, 9-11 was a false flag operation - or don’t you know that? By lending any credibility whatsoever to the official story, you undermine the SOLUTIONS you claim to represent. If you couldn’t be up front and clear from the beginning, then why should you be chastising US now for not clicking over to your website?

Also Jeff, the preaching of Christianity and Bible verses is of little effect to help establish your credibility as a patriot. As a Christian myself, I am grieved and ashamed to observe that no group is more deceived about current events – and in particular the subject of terrorism – than my brothers and sisters in Christ. In waging and supporting pre-emptive strikes against Islamic nations and the civil liberties of ALL of God’s children, the mainline Christian denominations have opened the gates of hell upon earth… including ourselves. Now I could be wrong, but you write like someone who believes these are events which MUST occur in order to fulfill prophecy. Whereas I believe that it is our job to RESIST these wicked schemes and deceptions. We cannot do so without exposing the TRUTH, the WHOLE TRUTH, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

I think you missed the boat, Jeff, and that’s why the response was dismal. Henry Makow offered you the chance of a lifetime by publishing your thoughts on his heavily trafficked website. But when it comes to understanding current events, the majority of Henry’s readers are on page 270… whereas you may be on page 15. If I have misunderstood your positions, I certainly do apologize. But at the same time, you wrote in such a way that made it possible to interpret your position in a variety of ways, which is not what we need right now.

Steven said (June 8, 2010):

I think there may be several reasons that Jeff Pritchard received a less-than-enthusiastic response. You stated one of them: less money in everyone’s pockets. The banksters have made damned sure that we have little money to give to any candidate (as they prefer to choose who’s going to run and win), and what little money they have left us with is moving quickly into worthlessness. I envision the US experiencing hyperinflation of its currency the likes of Zimbabwe, and a day is coming soon that a billion dollars won’t buy us an egg.

I also suspect that many – me included – are suspect of anyone preaching change. The Illuminati have the bases covered, and it appears that anyone who makes it anywhere in politics is either actively engaged with them or is one of their unwitting dupes. Either way, supporting anyone at this point seems to be a waste of good money because you’re either supporting your oppressors or someone who has no hope of winning.

So our sense of apathy and hopelessness grows, and leaves us feeling as if nothing is going to make a difference. Honestly, I see no way out of this mess. Our government and other institutions have been thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted, and whether one sees it or not, we’re at a point where human efforts won’t be enough to break the hold the Illuminati have; our marching orders are going to have to come from God.

i do not trust voting for anyone who is looking to collect money by advertising themselves and trying to access other people's resources in this manner. it is too tacky.

i suspect there is more passion for power and influence and getting elected to a position of authority than there is for serving america the good of the whole nation. true patriots must embody high ideals of honor, purity, honesty and truth to have heartfelt vote and trust of the citizens.
