POPSMore "Free" Money! More economic proposals to come: Obama in his speech criticized his Republican rival, John McCain, for proposing to extend all of President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. But Obama himself has taken a page from Bush's playbook on taxes. Obama has pledged to keep the tax cuts in place for everyone except those making roughly $250,000 and up. He has also made proposals to cut taxes further for the middle class, some of which he reiterated in his speech: exempt seniors making less than $50,000 from having to pay income tax; give a tax credit worth up to $500 per working person ($1,000 per family) to offset the Social Security tax on the first $8,100 of earnings; and expand the earned income tax credit. To boost retirement savings, he has also proposed a 50% federal match on the first $1,000 of savings for families that earn under $75,000. ****Vote 4 Me, I'll give you more free money!

POPSBush "Should Have Allowed For Another Terrorist Attack" ...Gingrich then recommended splitting the FBI into a domestic crime unit, which would respect civil liberties, and a "small but very aggressive anti-terrorism agency" with "extraordinary ability to eavesdrop." "I think that your liberties in a domestic setting are paramount," Gingrich explained. "I would rather risk crime than risk losing my civil liberties. But I would not rather risk a nuclear weapon. ... I think the greatest danger to our liberty is to actually have the country end up in the kind of attack that would lead us to favor a dictatorship for security."

POPSMideast Governments Tired of Bush Rhetoric As Well! Israeli commentators said the Egyptian mediation amounted to indirect negotiations between the Israeli government and Hamas, a group with which the United States refuses to have dealings. The Palestinian resistance organisation, which controls inside Gaza Strip (although it is still under Israeli occupation), was offering Israel a long-term truce which could make it easier for the rival Palestinian group Fatah to reach an agreement with Israel -- a goal which the United States says it is promoting. In his Sharm el-Sheikh speech, Bush also attacked the Lebanese group Hezbollah, calling it "terrorists funded by Iran" and "the enemy of a free Lebanon" Three days later in the Gulf state of Qatar, Hezbollah and other Lebanese groups reached an agreement ending the political crisis that had paralysed Lebanon for months.

POPSStroke the Rich
The IRS has become a subsidy system for super-wealthy Americans IRS winks at rich deadbeats. Because the news media focus on what politicians say about the tax system, rather than how it actually operates, few Americans realize that: -- Corporate income tax laws reward companies that move jobs offshore, allowing them to earn untaxed profits as long as the money stays offshore. -- Widespread cuts in health insurance and pensions for the rank-and- file are driven by a special law that lets top executives defer paying taxes for years, in a way that adds 35 percent to the cost of their bloated pay. -- The 2001 Bush tax cuts included a stealth tax increase on the middle class and upper-middle class that will cost them a half trillion dollars in the first 10 years and, for 35 million families, wiping out part or all of their Bush tax cuts. -- The stealth tax boost on people making $30,000 to $500,000 was explicitly used to make sure that the super rich would get their entire Bush tax

POPSA Thorn by Any Other Name is Still Prickly The third SPP summit, held last August in Montebello, Quebec, involved a series of closed-door meetings attended only by the three state heads, the cabinet members in attendance, the SPP trilateral bureaucrats assigned to head the 20 working groups established under the SPP and the NACC business leaders. Next Monday and Tuesday, President Bush will meet in New Orleans with Mexican President Felipe Calderon and Canadian Prime Minister Harper. The White House has changed the name of the meeting from the "Fourth SPP Annual Summit" to simply the "North American Leaders' Summit."

POPSWhile Rome Burned... Analysts say that the central bank may also have to lower interest rates when its policy makers meet on 18 March. The Federal Reserve has already slashed rates to 3%, from 4.25% at the beginning of the year to stabilise the world's biggest economy. "The Fed is going to ease monetary policy - the question is how often and how fast," said David Resler, chief economist Nomura Securities International.

POPSThe Plunge Protection Team I linked the clip to three articles of interest to give a better idea as to what the "PPT" is. They are quite informative, and give us a chance to look beyond the "smoke and mirrors", and see what's there.

POPSThe Great Betrayal On controlling America’s borders and halting the invasion through Mexico, McCain collaborated with Senate liberals in the McCain-Kennedy amnesty, which was rejected only after a national uprising. When 190,000 Arizonans petitioned in 2004 to put Prop 200 on the ballot, requiring proof of citizenship before an individual could vote or receive welfare benefits, John McCain led the GOP congressional delegation in opposing it unanimously.Unsurprisingly, Juan Hernandez, the open-borders chatterbox and former adviser to Vicente Fox, has turned up in McCain’s campaign. On the three issues that have ravaged the Bush presidency—the misbegotten war in Iraq, the failure to secure America’s borders, and the trade policy that has destroyed the dollar, de-industrialized the country, and left foreigners with $5 trillion to buy up America—McCain has sided with Bush.

POPSWe Are Screwed! And we have a congress that just cannot say NO! He is way out of control, the sixties must have been REALLY good to Bush and the others in charge of government, these are not the actions of sane, rational thinking people, you would have to either be on drugs or lost enough brain cells from their use to think this is okay!

POPSWhat Bush Means by Conducting Foreign Policy
Is it any wonder that former Mexican President Vicente Fox told Larry King Live last Tuesday evening that he and President Bush had agreed to "create a new regional currency in the Americas." Fox was asked by a listener what he felt about the possibility of having a Latin America united with one currency. According to the CNN transcript obtained by WND, "Fox answered in the affirmative, indicating it was a long-term plan. He admitted he and President Bush had agreed to pursue the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas—a free trade zone extending throughout the Western Hemisphere, suggesting part of the plan was to institute eventually a regional currency." Is there anyone who cannot see what Bush is doing? Because of Bush's plan to merge the U.S. into a North American Community, he is determined to grant illegal aliens amnesty, and he is willing to demand that illegal aliens who rape and murder American citizens must be turned over to a "world court." -according to this source.

POPSHeads Up! A national television audience watched in horror as the abandoned Bush head gathered momentum, becoming a fearsome snowball of fury that tore through banners and left hundreds of dazed activists and crushed cardboard tanks in its wake. One man -- later identified as Rupert Dorkington of Flemsea -- gamely attempted to stop the head but became lodged in its gigantic caricature ear and his legs became wildly flailing projectiles. As of this morning, the gigantic Bush head was being held in Police custody while officials decide its fate. A Downing Street source speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the Blair government was planning to make an official gift of the head to Texas governor Rick Perry.

POPSWorse Than Gitmo Why is Bush taking orders from the Mexican president? An aside to this story, the drug smuggling illegal that was shot is in the process of suing the American government for $5 million!

POPSSupreme Court to Decide Presidential Power There's a lot going on here, and the clip prolly doesn't do it justice. To name a few: state vs. federal, executive vs judiciary, presidential powers, foreign policy, due process and ultimately justice. I can't say I know what the answer is either, just that I feel for the parents of those girls who are living this brutal event repeatedly in court.

POPS The Dumbing Down Of The American Mind Part 1 Consequently, as a result of so many things having gone wrong in our nation, our mind, the way that we as Americans think, has become so terribly dumbed-down that we are on the verge of losing nearly everything we have attained over the many years since we became a nation. I have no doubt that pride always cometh before the fall, and given such an arrogant degree of ignorance that has seemingly befallen so many in our country, it is high time that we, as a nation, come to our senses before it is too late or the imperialistic desires of the Bush-Cheney administration will utilize every bit of "our collective dumbness" to take our country to a place that we dare not go... that of a long-standing imperial desire to conquer the world with the unfortunate likelihood of ending up in a world war... something that no sane human being should want regardless of how dumb they just might be!

POPS"The Revolt of the Generals" Interesting piece, compelling opinions. Generals opposing the Iraq war have as much right to be heard as those who support the action, it is not a betrayal of those fighting it, and I do not believe those in support are betraying their men either, especially in the course of active duty.

POPSSenate votes to condemn free speech Wow, you would think they would have more important issues to debate! What a waste of time and tax dollars! I may not agree with what it said, but doesn't our constitution give them the right to say it? I guess not anymore! Even freedom of speech is up for debate in this regime!

POPSBush: War Criminal's Crimes; Mass Murderer; WarMonger, Bush wants to murder more. We have to kill Iranians "over there," Bush says, "before they come over here." There is no possibility that Iranians or any Muslims who have no air force, no navy, no modern military technology are going to "come over here," and no indication that they plan to do so. The Muslims are disunited and have been for centuries. That is what makes them vulnerable to colonial rule. If Muslims were united, the US would already have lost its army in Iraq. Indeed, it would not have been able to put an army in Iraq. Lacking US troops with which to invade Iran, the Bush administration has decided to bomb Iran "back into the stone age." Punishing air and missile attacks have been designed not merely to destroy Iran’s nuclear energy projects, but also to destroy the public infrastructure, the economy, and the ability of the government to function. ... http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts222.html
