POPSPIMPIN OUR DAUGHTERS In the words of Hillary Clinton ' It takes a village' why does it take scientific studies and polls to make us aware of what is going on in our own families and culture? I mean does it really require society to tell us what is wrong with our families? DADS must someone else tell you what is appropriate behavior for your sons and daughters? As long as there is pop culture and idols are made of television stars our young people will be tempted to look like what they see on TV and in the movies. Perhaps a return to decency and a little old fashion modesty is in order?

POPSThe 7 habits of highly effective propagandists citing a qualified source is a good way to emphasize a legitimate idea. But you should consider whether or not the source being cited is really qualified to make judgments about a particular issue. 5. PLAIN FOLKS The “Plain Folks” technique is at work whenever a speaker promotes the idea that he or she is “of the people,” just an Average Joe despite the fact that he or she may go home to a mansion at the end of the day. 6. CARD STACKING “Stacking the deck” is a gimmick used by magicians where a deck of cards appears to be randomly shuffled but is in fact arranged in a specific way. The IPA borrowed the term to describe a technique where only one side of a topic is favored, or another side is ignored or played down. 7. BANDWAGON The idea behind the Bandwagon technique is that, since everyone else is doing it, so too should you.

POPSThomas Jefferson's Warning "As this power passes from each individual to a central governing power, individual freedom and liberty is snuffed out, replaced with an arbitrary economic equality as defined, confiscated via progressive taxation and redistributed by those who seek the political power to rule over the lives of others." Serfdom

POPSThe American People are the Problem
There is no doubt that when a first term senator, without a credible achievement, who proved himself incompetent at the mere act of casting a vote as a State Senator, who is the most Leftist member of the Senate and all of Congress, who talks about sacrifice while giving 1% of his windfall salary to charity, who will not talk about his record, agenda, or be "distracted" by questions of his intended policies, who has befriended a terrorist and racist preacher, who has a wife that says there is a "veil of impossibility" in America ( She went to Yale, remember), who is an adherent of Black Lib (marxist) Theology, who never worked in Business or Industry, never managed a company, and never served his country. A man who whips his naive supporters up using tactics, imagery, and organic unity not seen since the early 1930's. The American People are in fact the problem when this is the man that one of the major parties in the US seems to believe is fit to be President of the U.S.

POPSAmerica is Now A Muslim Nation so say Obama Okay show me where the founding fathers prayed to Allah Obama. We know you have a problem with math because we are still looking for the lost 7 states of the United States that you spoke about in your campaign. Now you say we are the LARGEST MUSLIM nation. Can we get a recount on the election results?

POPSACLU trying to control public prayer I thought the ACLU sought to protect people from the overreaching government and discrimination against religion, race, or creed. I guess I was mistaken. The mission statement of the ACLU states: The mission of the ACLU is to preserve all of these protections and guarantees: Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. I wonder what changed?

POPSObama's "Get Out of Jail Free Plan" This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why in heaven's name would we want to bring the enemy into our own camp. Transfer from one prison to another prison. Why not just keep him in PRISON IN GITMO and try him there? This is ridiculous but then Obama is a big joke unfortunately the joke is on the good citizens of the United States.

POPSNPR Silences Christian Speech Freedom of speech. Not if you happen to speak in religious tones. This really does not come as any surprise to me. This is the first step in silencing any DISSENTING speech against an out of control government. NPR is owned by THE TAXPAYERS of which Christians are a part. Therefore all tax payers should be represented and not just those who happen to speak the same language as the government that controls them. Free speech means just that. And when it comes to radio you can always turn the dial if you do not like what you are listening to which is exactly what I am going to do with NPR turn the dial off.

POPSThe Deadly Virus of Celebrity Christianity Let all who are without money come and drink from the fountain freely without cost. The gospel if Jesus Christ is free for all. It costs you nothing yet it is not free. It does not require a large bank account to acquire yet it is not cheap. The only requirement to receiving the Gospel is to believe on Jesus Christ and the One who sent Him.

POPSHey Look Here! Spending Cuts! Get out your magnifying glass. This one is going to be hard to see. To think the government actually hails this farce as an actual attempt to curb spending. When is the American public going to wake up. It is time we call for some REAL SUBSTANCE and not Rhetoric. He talks a good game but like most of Obama's other policies this is a graphical representation of how lame Obama's attempts really are to address any real problems.

POPSThis is What Makes America Great In spite of all the blather coming forth from capital hill, this story once again proves the greatness of America. When the American people are FREE to live their lives and make their own decisions, we have proven time and again the USA is an altruistic nation. Although the current crop of political hacks continually speak down our nation and our economy, there are still hope for change. America is still great because her people are great.

POPSShould XXX sites have to use a .XXX domain name? Once again a report shows why we can not legislate proper behavior. I personally think that an XXX domain would be a great way for all pornographers to have their own home on the web place to gather. But like other legislation of this nature it would be worthless to attempt if they are going to allow the porn industry to continue to cloak itself in the .com world to appear legitimate. Those who wish to seek out this type of "entertainment" will find it no matter where it resides in the community. Therefore creating a virtual "Red Light District" would probably work as well as prohibition did. This one certainly belongs in the LOONY BIN.

POPSLiars Unite in Support of Dictators Worldwide Once again our fearless leader has chosen to align himself with a dictatorial tyrant. Apparently there is not a Constitution Obama likes. He has no regard for our own constitution and has shown a total disrespect for the Constitution of Honduras. The rule of law is not high on Obama's list of disciplines. He much rather support anarchists and lawlessness. Or perhaps he sees a similar fate awaiting himself in the not too distant future. Perhaps it is time we start to consider impeachment proceedings for high crimes and misdemeanors?

POPSChristians are to blame for failings in public schools Could it be that mindless, idiotic writers of these editorial comments are the real devils? They mouth empty words and pontificate on matters they know absolutely nothing about in a vane attempt to appear informed and enlightened. Even a fool is considered wise if he keeps his mouth shut but once he starts to orate he removes all doubt about it.

POPSWho the Dems think are the real terrorists Yes folks the world is turned upside down. Right is wrong and wrong is right. 20 How horrible it will be for those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness into light and light into darkness, who turn what is bitter into something sweet and what is sweet into something bitter. 21 How horrible it will be for those who think they are wise and consider themselves to be clever. 22 How horrible it will be for those who are heroes at drinking wine, who are champions at mixing drinks, 23 who declare the guilty innocent for a bribe, who take away the rights of righteous people. Isaiah 5:20-23 (GW)

POPSThere is Something in the Water: Drugs... This would certainly explain the drug induced coma the followers of a certain political figure exhibit. But then again they may be deliberately taking drugs and not only getting it from the water they drink. Oh well I knew there had to be something in the water to explain all this craziness.

POPSIs It Time for a House Cleaning? We the people seem to say that it is high time for a house cleaning. Although a clear majority of the voting public would vote to replace the entire congress, in reality this hardly ever happens. This old bird has to wonder why this is so? Is it that these SEASONED politicians have so entrenched themselves in power it is virtually impossible to remove them? Well perhaps it is time we the people take back our government and restore the balance of power to the people. What say you?

POPSGovernment Program Aimed at Teen Pregnacy Fails Once again the enlightened and educated amongst us prove once again that COMMON SENSE has died. These government programs in England and in New York are destined to fail because of the very foundation they are attempting to build upon. Instead of teaching these AT RISK young ladies about self-esteem, and the virtues of a chaste lifestyle, they reason that since these girls are going to have sex anyway we might as well teach them about sex. And like every other government mandated program IT FAILED! Not only did it fail it FAILED miserably.The truth is it made the matter worse than if they would have left the girls alone. Sound familiar?

POPS23,000 youth flood stadium for "BattleCry" youth gathering It s really a shame that they would let 23,000 people gather for just about anything as long as it does not preach Jesus. I am glad these young people find something worthwhile to support. Course some may say this is not a worthwhile event but anytime people gather to sing praise to God has to be positive.

POPSObama Policy Causes Death of American Soldiers Once again the Obama administration has shown whose side he is on in our fight against terrorism around the world. No it is not the side of America or the American soldier but rather the side of those who wish us harm. Current Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan have hampered our efforts to rout out Taliban insurgents bent on killing American soldiers. The sooner we rid our country of Islamic sympathizers the better off we will be in the end. Is it too soon to call for IMPEACHMENT of this present administration?
