POPSAmerica Is A Conservative Nation When 60% of people identify themselves as somewhat conservative or very conservative - how does a huge liberal like Obama try to get elected? By lying about his background and associations, by relying on the media to run interference for him, by using nuclear destruction on any conservative (Sarah Palin).

POPSPolling Funnies Pay attention to the details, note trends within polls rather than aggregating disparate poll reports, and never forget that every media outlet is selling a story, and every poll is bought by someone for a specific purpose. The election is something far different from any poll

POPSGetting You To Eat Crap So, you can see how some people might think, “Well, maybe I should try this crap instead of cheeseburger today. Maybe I’m just missing something.” Still, despite all the media attempts to confuse people, at the end of the day most people are going to say, “That’s crap and that’s a cheeseburger. I don’t eat crap; I eat cheeseburgers.” And that’s why Republicans win. Well… in other election years.

POPSMaking Up Quotes Oh yes - the purity of mainstream journalism where complete and utter fairness reigns. And stuff like this is probably why 80% of Americans believe the media is just an arm of the Obama campaign.

POPSDown the Liberal Memory Hole A complete two-fer. Here's Democrats stirring up racial hatred and fears (just who's bringing up race?) as well as the media deciding to take out the explicit reference to Republicans by massaging the quote.

POPSThe Media Damage Control Begins But here’s a question: why is someone like Joe Biden better equipped to be Vice President than Sarah Palin? Because he is a lawyer? (On the whole lawyer issue, see Victor Davis Hanson’s thoughtful reflections on why we should quit nominating lawyers.) Because he went to elite schools? Because he has spent his entire adult life in Washington, lips sewn fast to the public teat? Because he, like Barack Obama, represent more faithfully the politically correct, multicultural orthodoxy that defines established opinion today?

POPSLeft Comprehension Gap At the root of this curious gulf of ignorance has always been the fact that the left is unable to understand that conservatives keenly understand them and the alleged rationales behind their policies. We know they think government needs an active role in social justice, that civic and free market mechanisms like business, church, and charity are insufficient to deal with poverty, urban decay, and the social pathologies that foster them. They think that in order to foster social progress, the state needs to assume active advocacy roles on a limitless range of issues. We understand. We may utterly disagree and denounce it to hell, but we understand. When conservatives see liberals, they see the proponents of bad, inefficient, and eminently corruptible state and social systems that with eye-watering predictability, corrupt those who administer them and harm their alleged beneficiaries. Often for generations.

POPSGreen Communism
Owning a car opens up possibilities to a person that is beyond their reach otherwise, it opens up a freedom that many millions do not currently enjoy. The ability to find work at further distances from their homes than ever gives them more choices to find lucrative employment opportunities, the ability to find markets and entertainments are also greatly expanded. All this greatly expands individual freedom. If many millions more of the people of India (and around the world) find themselves able to afford this new car, it will incredibly improve their standard of living. It will also force the government to redirect their own efforts to internal improvements to accommodate this rise in cars that will add even more to raising the standard of living in once poor countries. Green communists do not care about people and these two stories add to the ever growing proof that enviro-communists have gravitated to environmentalism as a replacement for an overt espousal of communist ideals.

POPSAncient Mass Media Report Judea Today Another Consumer of Nature's Resources Born in Bethlehem An international scientific consensus has been reached, and it's not in Mary and Joseph's favor. Had the parents of Jesus been more proactive in raising their awareness, they may have considered such important factors as Judea's fragile environment and air pollution that only increases with every newborn child. No matter how amusing a set of small carbon footprints around the house may seem initially, potential parents should always remember that the footprints will only become bigger as the child matures and turns into yet another indulgent consumer of nature's limited resources.

POPSSecurity Checks - Really Just a Media Gesture Does anyone in the US believe that the Thugs Standing Around (TSA) actually make you safer? I'd feel better if they had a box of .45s you could take as you board and deposit back as you leave. At least then I'd know some security was actually in place.
