POPSActivist Judges? Watch as the ultra-right conservative judges on the Supreme Court become liars for Christ. Pathetic!

POPSTo Hell With Facts In the hopes to further religious based anti-abortion sentiment Nebraska legislators use bogus and distorted science to attempt to further their sectarian agenda. What's a little lying if it'll get you what you want? And if the lawmakers are representative of the nation as a whole they probably wouldn't recognize bad science if it bit them on the ass. Lies, half-truths, and emotional appeals are all they have to back up their cause. Get the coat hangers ready. And welcome to the mid 20th century.

POPSRepublicans Threaten End to Bipartisanship - LOL! If this wasn't in the NY Times I'd of sworn I read it in The Onion. The Republicans threatening to withhold bipartisan support! That will be the catch phrase for the next several weeks for late night comics. Not only are the Republicans totally out of ideas but they have become politically absurd to boot. Imagine that, the Republicans not being "bipartisan". LMAO!!!!

POPSRule #1: Old Men in Dresses Not Good Role Models Blame the messenger. That's the latest ploy by the Vatican to attempt to defuse the current scandal brought on by the Church's apparent mission to protect themselves over the crimes they've conspired to cover up.

POPSRatsy In Trouble Pope Ratsy is back in hot water.While exact details are murky there appears to be enough information available to prompt further investigation. The Church's grand plan to cover up the abuse of children by priests seems to be falling apart.

POPSSatire or Teabagger Logic? Sure, it's tongue-in-cheek but what's delightful is that it has enough truth to make it entirely plausible. Gotta love the teabaggers.

POPSMedicine Over Magic Someone left the window of rationality open at the Wisconsin state house recently. Instead of kowtowing to religious radicals the legislators are proposing laws that remove the absurd protection for parents who insist on using god begging in place of sound medical practices when the safety of their children is at stake. Even though most sane people see the need for this type of legislation there still remains a large contingent who are confused or ambivalent concerning the scope of the bill. IMO, this is a clearly needed piece of law that protects children from superstitious practices that could result in death.

POPSMore Anti-Intellectualism from the Right From the article: One example from the story: In Kentucky, a bill recently introduced in the Legislature would encourage teachers to discuss "the advantages and disadvantages of scientific theories," including "evolution, the origins of life, global warming and human cloning." They often do this, taking the opportunity to try and get a whole slate of dogma incorporated into law. This one, from State Reprehensible Tim Moore of Kentucky, is just particularly stupid, but characteristic of the genre. I'm just impressed that now human cloning is a theory — I thought it was a technique. They also mention the recent South Dakota resolution. "Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant," the resolution said, "but rather a highly beneficial ingredient for all plant life." Change the wording a little bit, and substitute "shit" for "carbon dioxide", and it's still just as true.

POPSIrony in Action The Religious Right's reaction is puzzling considering their preoccupation with the sex lives of other people. Puzzling but not totally unexpected.

POPSCulture vs Ignorance We often hear we should respect other cultures and the world views they embrace. Instances such as this make it difficult to do so.

POPSMore Snake Oil The gullibility of people never ceases to amaze me. Even when presented with evidence to the contrary they continue to believe in false claims and dubious "cures". Well, at least we're optimistic primates.

POPSProgress? I Suppose? I would imagine you could call this progress if you lived in the Dark Ages. Yes, I'm happy to see progress in allowing women equal rights but isn't it time to step up and forcefully say that baby steps are not enough?

POPSPirate PR? I'm a bit dumbfounded to read this clip about Somali pirates taking the high ground by donating money to Haiti. Are they attempting to give piracy a good name?

POPSCon Job? I recall when first hearing this story that I thought, wait, this doesn't sound legit.

POPSWhat's Up With Texas? Holding Conservative views is one thing. Yet I know many conservatives who wouldn't for a second buy into this sort of drivel. Are all the wells in Texas poisoned? Is brain damage possible on such a massive scale? Now we certainly have our share of kin marrying, up in the hollows inbreds here in Georgia but we try to keep most of them out of the leadership roles. Well, at least we try!

POPSIntelligent Comments from the Right I couldn't resist clipping this bit of nonsense. It is a comment on a Fox News story about a speech Obama made at the Prayer Day breakfast. About what you'd expect from the heartland.

POPSChristian Right Only Obey Certain Laws How odd! All the ranting and raving the Right does about "activist judges" only points out their hypocrisy. Seems they're willing to obey the law if it is in their favor. If they are forced to acknowlege they are not the only game in town then all bets are off. What a bunch of losers.

POPSS.C. Gets What It Deserves This rhetoric is not unusual in the NeoCon South. Neocons and Right Wingnuts routinely pull out the "responsibility" bludgeon they use to bash the poor over the head with. Their motto should be "I've got mine - screw you". BTW, the rest of the editorial offers evidence on just how wrong that position is.

POPSReligious Right Gathers in Washington A curious mingling of anti-choice and anti-health care supporters gathered to voice their encouragement to force women to follow their mandates and rent out their wombs by order of the theocratic government. A curious mixing of anti-health care proponents rounded out the protest. I'm sure the Insurance companies are smiling.

POPSCaring is a Human Quality Also from the article: Regular F&R readers might recall that earlier this year we saw that unbelievers were among the fund-raising leaders at Kiva, the international Internet person-to-person micro-lending site. When I checked in July, the unbelievers were leading other special interest groups including churches, raising funds to uplift the world's poorest.

POPSReligious Rights Answer to Haiti Tragedy How can this idiot put forth this kind of mindless drivel? He'd of made sense in the 11th century, not today. What a sad commentary from a leader of America's Christian conservatives.
