POPSGet the real facts False Republican Attacks on Health Insurance Reform In an attempt to stall or even derail health insurance reform, many Republican officials have continually made false and outlandish claims that distort the truth about the reforms that are actually being proposed. Special Interest Groups' Misinformation Campaign Special interest groups continue to rely on scare tactics and mistruths to create confusion and distort the debate. In many cases, they’ve attacked provisions that don’t even appear in any of the health-care measures under consideration. Viral Chain Emails Filled with Blatantly False Claims Many people have received anti-health-reform chain emails filled with blatantly false claims.

POPSMcCain's "Truth Squad" John McCain, Bud Day and Paul Galanti are all war heroes. As is General Clark who returned from Vietnam after receiving four bullet wounds. The difference is that while General Clark reasonably questioned a political candidates ability to lead a nation, John McCain welcomed into his flock two dishonest, deplorable political operatives who he previously described as "dishonorable" Day, and the swifties, opened themselves up to not only criticism but also the complete loss of face, i.e. hero worship and that Honored Discription of others, Hero, by their Blatant Lying with nothing to back up their charges against a Sailor doing an Extremely Dangerous Job On The Ground, i.e. in small boats on the rivers of, Vietnam! And not only one Sailor but those serving with him directly, those serving on the other boats from that base, All Navy Personal Serving In-Country

POPSWounded-troops tally not even close to reality Apparently, the discrepancy comes as a result of time. Troops whose wounds are discovered after they return home are not added to the official tally. Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), founder of the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force, said the total number of Americans who may have suffered head injuries in combat maybe total as many as 150,000 — about 10% of the 1.5 million troops have served in Iraq “I am wary that the number of brain-injured troops far exceeds the total number reported injured,” he says.

POPSBritish Judge That Slammed Gore Film Exposed Far from being an impartial jurist, Burton it turns out appears to be a reactionary conservative who has earned praise from the far-right, anti-immigrant British National Party for his ruling in 2005 that applied the nation’s Race Relations Act to cover the racial rights of White people. Hailing what it called Judge Burton’s history-making ruling, the BNP said, This now means that any organizations or companies that discriminate against a member of the British National Party are guilty of anti-white racism. The right-wing in America will stop at nothing these days to protect the profits of corporate polluters and since they have no scientific credibility at all with which to deny the man-made effects of global warming on this planet, they can only pull out the Karl Rove playbook and seek to attack the messenger. I can’t wait for the doctored 8x10 glossies of Al Gore and Britney. You know that’s coming next.

POPSAmerican troops held hostage President Bush is holding our troops hostage and threatening them with death. Here is what he is saying to Congress: "Order me out of Iraq, and I will abandon the troops in the field. The blood of your children will be on your hands, not mine." Every coffin that comes home shows he means business. This is the ugly truth Congress wrestles with but will not name. Congress has been terrorized, like any family whose children are kidnapped and held hostage.

POPSWho Counts Among the Dead in Iraq?
As for the civilian toll, no one wants to know the numbers, let alone be held responsible for their consequences. Neither the United States nor the United Kingdom publishes an official report on Iraqi civilian fatalities and casualties. As General Tommy Franks put it: “We don’t do body counts.” Citing concerns about bandwidth scarcity, the U.S. military has further limited the flow of information by blocking troops’ access to YouTube and MySpace. The discrepancy between the Pentagon’s definition of non-mortal wounds and the VA’s higher count led the VA to revise its figure downward from 50,508 in September 2006 to 21,469 non-mortal wounds in November 2006. The Pentagon apparently does not include injuries and accidents from non-combat operations in its lower WIA count. In a matter of two months, 29,000 veterans, mostly from the Iraq war, vanished, presumably to align the VA’s count with the Defense Department’s tighter definition and classification of the wounded.

POPSMore Veterans against the war The troops see the reality of what they are doing. 70% of America knows what is really going on. Yet we allow criminals to control us. They should be taken to the Hague and tried as war criminals.

POPSThe relativity of war A real soldier speaking the simple truth. Amazing what reality you find when you actually fight a war. But then Bush and Cheney never faced that reality.

POPSDemocracy manipulated by America I give credit to Ratilfar for finding this piece. We need more people to see the truth. Or one day we will be the people on the steps of our church being gunned down. Or randomly shot in the head by Government trained snipers.

POPSTruth in media? Go here. I am hoping the troops will not be stupid enough to go along with any such action. And that the people will resist such a thing happening. But when I see how Collen Powell, followed orders. Knowing full well, that what he was saying was not true. Then there is the chance our country could go to such extremes.

POPSKeith Olbermann great American I know my clippers like this guy. So here is a slew full to watch. You need either media player or Quicktime. And a good broadband will make things go faster.

POPSThe Truth about Osama bin Laden and Iraq This was in 2006 before election. The people spoke. But Bush doesn't listen. The Democrats were to bring the peoples word to the hill. But they have done little. General Clarke is right. If something isn't done now. America will fall.

POPSJust a story from a soldier. Just a story from a soldier who fought in hell. So that maybe we could all live a better life. It`s been told by many. And over thousands of years. I guess as long as there is man. The stories will always be there.

POPSSenators against our troops Find the truth in who supports our troops. The chickenhawks that have gone against our troops, should be voted out of office. What will happen when this war grows bigger and no one shows up? The cowards that voted to abuse our troops, will be the first to run and hide.

POPSIf you think were winning the war, read the whole story Anyone who reads these stories from the soldiers who were there. Will know we cant win when our actions will only provoke hatred towards America. As a Vietnam Veteran, I see what happened there, is happening in Iraq. Only I see it much more perverse.

POPSThe plan for Americas takeover by neo nazis This is a long read. But very revealing. If so many blundering mistakes had not been made by the Bush regime. We might all be under marshal law. And Bush and Cheney would be our dictators. And this was planned in 1997. So thats what those K street guys were doing.

POPSWill we listen to Iran? If the next office of the presidency does the same thing as this one. We will have a very serious outcome. Hate has spread through out the world. And if we don't start understanding other peoples views. We will have a world like that of world war 2. But with greater destruction.

POPSWake up America. The real terrorists are in our highest office. This is my blog. This is who I am. In Vietnam I was wounded three times. Almost lost my life twice. What I saw in Vietnam mirrors what I see now. The only difference was we were able to get out of Nam. I don't see us getting out of this situation. Not with the warmongers that we have stealing this country for themselves. The truth is obvious to people with common sense. I just don't see much of that in this country.

POPSA Soldier speaks the truth. The Neocons spout rhetoric. The Hate in this country is frightening. When a real soldier speaks the truth and the Neocons who are safe at home attack such a person. I wonder why anyone would want to fight for this country. Read from this URL and see if you are not disgusted By how the Privileged Neocons Try to shame a soldier simply because he speaks the truth. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1854078/posts
