POPSIraq another Vietnam? Looks like some politicals just never learn. Repeating the same mistakes of the Vietnam era will once again result in less than a regal outcome in Iraq. Taking the political handcuffs off our military men and women and let them do what they do best will result in a WIN. Once the enemy is defeated and law and order is restored then we can talk about who is in charge until then. CHARGE!!

POPSStudent Drawing of Cross censored in Wisconsin School Art should be judged for its artistic merit not its content if you ask me. I think the drawing is very well done. Not being an artist myself I appreciate those who have that ability. Forcing a student to draw subjects that may not be acceptable to them to me is a far worse offense then the student drawing a picture that MAY or may not offend someone else. Art like music is a creation of the artist and should therefore be considered in light of the artists perspective and not from the perspective of the audience. At least that is what the defenders of porn use as a defense when promoting pornography and other offensive works of art. They say it is CREATIVE LICENSE. Well then this young person has the creative license as well. IMO

POPSHow Government Regulation effects oil prices at the pump
As is usually the case with government intervention into private enterprise the unexpected results are usually far worse than the original problem congress set out to solve. Doesn't anybody study history anymore? It was not that long ago that the same ideas were floating around congress during the Carter years. Anyone remember the odd even gas days and the long lines at the pumps because of the government forced oil shortages of the 70's Among other mistakes from that period, the government increased the taxes levied on domestic oil producers, as if that would somehow help. The result was “reduced domestic oil production from between 3 and 6 percent, and increased oil imports from between 8 and 16 percent.” The government also instituted price controls, which only served to create the notorious gas shortages of that era. Yes, price controls meant consumers could get cheaper gas — but only after waiting in long gas lines and only if stations didn’t run out first.

POPSBroken Homes breaking the economic bank Perhaps we are not willing to look at the real cost of broken homes. Being a product of a broken home myself I can personally state the high price I had to pay as a result of being raised in a fatherless home. The emotional scars and damage caused by the harmful effects of a parent leaving were hard to overcome. I am unable to calculate the actual financial cost the broken home had on myself but I can say for a surety that it certainly had an ill effect on it. Now I am not saying to anyone to stay in a dangerous relationship but too many marriages are destroyed for no other reason then selfishness and unforgiveness. It is no better for the Christian home than it is for the non-Christian household it would appear. Perhaps we need to spend more time and energy on making ourselves better spouses than trying to fix our 'better half'?

POPSAgainst Law to Homeschool Well once again the government of the people by the people and for the people seems to be giving it to the people. I do not know how the public education system got so out of control in this country but I think it is about time we the people started to take back control of the things that matter in our society, starting with the education of our children.

POPSFinally a church for anyone and everyone sinners most welcomed Jesus did say whosoever will may come but He also said you must loose your life in order to save it, He also said you must take up your cross and follow Jesus. He also said that your right living should exceed the right living employed by the pharasees. He said that you must be born again, have a change of heart and everything would be made new. Remaining as you are when you come is not what Jesus had in mind when He died on the cross. IF there was no need for a CHANGE on one's manner of living then Jesus wasted a whole lot of time coming to earth and allowing Himself to be put to death for it was not neccessary, all we need to do is LOVE EVERYONE even the evil ones and all will be well. I think not. But this is only a view from the eaglesnest http://eagleviews.org

POPSTexas Divinity school to award Rev Wright Many ignoble people are honored for many things in this country, why should the Wright Reverend Jeremiah be any different? When a nation extols the basest of society and elevates it to a point of honor than failure as a society is soon to follow. IMO

POPSHigher Learning earns a BS degree. The stifling effect of racism and sexism allegations has led some to extremes. Richard Peltz, an award-winning law professor at the University of Arkansas, felt trapped by accusations of racism. Peltz had alienated some of his black students in the following fashion: 1) he participated in a panel discussion on affirmative action and argued against it, 2) he displayed in class a satirical article from The Onion that mentioned, among other things, Rosa Parks’s death 3) he illustrated the unfairness of affirmative action policies by offering to give all minority students an extra point on a test just for signing a form. It would appear that learning has been reduced to indoctrinating students into a pre-set ideologies. Any deviation from the PRACTICED NORM is met with opposition. I thought learning was best nurtured in an environment that did not stifle alternative viewpoints but actually encouraged such. Apparently only alternative thoughts are welcomed sound reaso

POPSMommie Dearest: A Case for Abortion? This is one child perhaps who should have been aborted and I am not talking about the child I am refering to the mom. Life in prison is too leniant for these two sick freaks. I will support LATE TERM ABORTION in this case. These two should be given a late term abortion.

POPSWhat does the Bible say about angels? I don't think most people understand the true nature of angels or their purpose...or that there are more bad angels on Earth than good ones. Satan's forces are predominantly earthbound and this is His domain for now...so it's only natural that his angels abound here. An angel can't be in two places at once...and more in this article.

POPSWisconsin Elementary school's 'WACKY WEEK' stirs controversy. What where they thinking? With all the craziness in this world already must we be playing dress-up during the time when our children are supposed to be learning? It would appear from the participation that a minority of the students actually participated. Could this indicate that the majority thought it was just plain silly? Talk about WACKY WEEK! I think the only thing wacky about this week was the school district's idea of a wacky week.

POPSAncients and modern evolutionists still pondering the same questions. It would appear that for over 1500 years the debate has raged over the origin of life. Natural Theology, published in 1802 by William Paley, discussed the evidence for design using the "inferred watchmaker" analogy. The majority of scientists at that time professed belief in a Creator, in one way or another. This was reflected in their studies. To some extent, design was assumed. Evolution lacked a reasonable engine to drive biological change. When Charles Darwin published "The Origin of Species" in 1859, those who preferred evolution had a seemingly plausible mechanism to explain it - natural selection. Almost 150 years later, the scientific community at large speaks of the "facts" of evolution. Those who propose non-natural causes for biologic effects are soon branded as "ignorant," "superstitious," or "closed-minded." Some things never change...

POPSEven Dems Do not want another Clinton in the White House It would appear to a casual observer that the Democrats had decided on a nominee long before the election process got started. Changing state primaries to an earlier date to get Obama off to a quick start and disallowing two major states like Florida and Michigan seems to me to be an attempt to rig an election. The whole democrat process of nominating a candidate seems to me to be a bit shady. Super delegates are there to do just that DECIDE on a candidate regardless of the voters wishes. Wasn't it the Democrats who in 2000 were crying about ALL VOTES counting in Florida? And now the same people are crying that Florida votes do not count? Does this mean Obama would be an illegitimate candidate? After all he does not have enough delegates to have actually won, therefore someone is going to MAKE him win. Me thinks Ms Pelosi wants to be the Big Mamma in charge. Perhaps there is not enough room in the democrat kitchen for 2 women. What say you?

POPS25% of American Teen girls has an STD I guess passing out condoms in school is not helping to educate our young people about the hazards associated with recreational sex. The article goes on to deride abstinence teaching as incomplete. Perhaps what we really need to teach these young people is the sinfulness of recreational sex. The bible calls this fornication. Society calls it recreation.

POPS13 yr old teenager charged in prostitution crime This story saddens me and sickens me at the same time. I have only one question and that is, is this club Metropolis still open for business? It should be burned to the ground. All patrons, workers, owners etc. should be arrested and charged with corruption of minors at the very least. Oh you may say that is extreme but you can not tell me that NOBODY there knew this was not going on. Everyone present at the time of the arrest should be charged with something.
