POPSAnother Breathtaking Bushism
George Bush, in his own person, is the single best argument against both intelligent design and an active and participant God of Justice. I mean this quite seriously; this is the sort of thing that causes people to loose their faith - or at least, put the greater part of their faith into causes and ideals with more immediate payoffs. After all, if there were such a god as the followers of Bush proclaim - the thirty-percenters, the name-it-claim it fringe of the ignorant, the stupid and the magical thinkers, bush would have been incinerated by a bolt of divine lightning as he uttered these words. On the other hand, were that the case, we'd pretty much have to live with the idea of the Divine Right of Kings, so I suppose it's a wash. Not to mention being a huge relief to personal security personnel the world over. Still, when a Bush president says they want to "help the people realize the blessings of liberty," that means everyone else hears a chorus of "Freedom's just anot

POPSFormer CIA: Evidence Abounds for Impeachment of Bush & Cheney
The recent report detailing Iran's stopping its nuclear weapons program four years ago, is an example of how the administration knows it can no longer hide such "incontrovertible evidence" from the American people in the fallout from the misinformation they received on the Iraq War, McGovern said. He added that he had almost given up believing their were people still working at the top with a conscious and enough people at the top willing to let analysts do their job and accept independent analysis. McGovern also addressed the reasoning he believes is behind the threat of war with Iran. He believes Israel thinks they have a pledge from the White House to deal with Iran before Bush leaves office and relayed the story of the U.S.S. Liberty, which was attacked by the Israelis in 1967 and covered up by the U.S. Thirty-four U.S soldiers were killed and about 170 were seriously injured. "On June 8, 1967 Israel realized it could literally get away with murder," McGovern said.

POPSRon Paul: A matter of concience. Trevor Lymon, the unpaid and unofficial Ron Paul volunteer who is directly responsible for two record-breaking "money bombs" has captured the attention of the MSM. Why is he doing it? What does he expect to gain? What agenda does he advocate? What strings, in other words, come with this money? Concience. Strings of principle, of ethics and of concience - strings that Ron Paul is more than happy to be bound by. "I know my tax dollars are being used to kill people," Lyman said. "It makes me feel horrible." It's hard to argue with motivations like that - and it's hard to argue that such motivations are "naieve" or "unrealistic" in light of more than ten millions raised on the strengths of Ron Paul's principles alone, without direct or implied bribes. Ron Paul doesn't advocate single payer health care and he's opposed to social security in principle (I differ with him there, by the by). But there are few personally selfish reasons to vote for him.

POPSThe Truth In Pornography The more I think about it, the more I realize that the objection is not to it's existence, but to the existence of some of it's direct and implied messages that contradict conventional (and in my humble opinion, dangerous and destructive) moralisms.

POPSChoose Liberty - Ron Paul 2008 Savvy campaign gear with a huge margin shows real skill at work in Paul's campaign. These will be the hot collectible of this election cycle, because of the price and the novelty - but the slogan itself is the cap. Grab as many as you can afford. Seriously. It's for a good cause and your grandchildren will thank you. With any luck, they won't realize it wasn't really about the investment value!
