POPS Reasons Not to Vote for Barack Obama, In His Own Words . . . . . . . . Obama’s now infamous “Spread the wealth.” And in an interview with ABC News, anchor Charlie Gibson asked, “ n each instance, when the rate dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected? “ Obama says: “Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.” Obama’s view of the First Amendment? Threats of criminal libel prosecutions, Justice Department intimidation, and no promise to veto the “Fairness Doctrine” if Congress passes it. Obama’s view of Iran, currently building nuclear reactors? “Iran … tiny … pose a serious threat to us. Michelle Obama’s views about her husband running for President? “It’s way too soon. He hasn’t done anything yet

POPSDoes Sarah Palin Even Understand the 1st Amendment This is what happens in a country where an icon of wisdom can "credibly" be a Forrest Gump...a nation in which intelligence is ridiculed and suspected as subversive and high social achievement is to be counted among the good ol' boys. Sarah Palin doesn't even understand what can be learned in an elementary civics or US history class. Yet she is running to be Vice President of the USA. She is WAY out of her depth and yet some conservatives see her as the GOP's standard bearer for 2012. That's pathetic.

POPSSemper Vigilans More: What makes me a screaming leftist? That I think the Gov’t isn’t the source of power. That I think the Gov’t has NO rights, but that its authority is on loan from We, the People. I think the Preamble means a lot, and that promoting the general welfare, establishing justice and securing the blessings of liberty are what the gov’t is for. The most important job of the President isn’t “keeping America safe” at home, it’s seeing to it we don’t fragment into a couple of hundred petty countries vying with one another for those things we bound ourselves together to obtain… The stables are filthy and the folks who fouled them aren’t going to easily be persuaded to clean them. They work for us, and at our pleasure. Since I’m more than a trifle displeased, they need to be reminded, and nagged, harried, pressed, until things are better.When they do well…they need some praise…being hounded is demoralising.

POPSHaving Their Cake and Eating It Too From the article: "Let's imagine that the Alliance Defense Fund and its clerical clients were to persuade the Supreme Court to overturn the Johnson amendment's ban on political endorsements from the pulpit. At that point, what would prevent wealthy ideologues from making tax-exempt contributions to sympathetic pastors' churches for the express purpose of engaging in partisan electioneering? For that matter, what would prevent ambitious pastors from soliciting just such contributions and then using them to bind like-minded ministers into powerful political machines?"

POPSSenator Jim DeMint: Should We Drill? Palin’s Image as Anti-Earmark Champion September 12th, 2008 Republican Senator Jim DeMint rushing to her defense today in a “Wall Street Journal” op-ed. The senator joins me now. DeMint defends Palin fiscal stands September 12th, 2008 Before you could say, “Lindsey Graham,” Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint zapped an op ed to The Wall Street Journal responding to criticism of the record of GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin by Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. Writing in today’s WSJ, the Greenville senator defended the Alaska governor fiscal record as “solid and inspiring.” “She will help (GOP presidential nominee John) McCain shut down the congressional favor factory, and she has a record to prove it. Actions mean something,” DeMint said.

POPSRNC: Secret Service Shakes Down Ron Paul Delegates This is the neo-republican convention where fascism is evident as if McCain is President and the 1st amendment does not exist. See what we mean about the change in the Republican Party? “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory” -- RNC Security Meanwhile the background music at some point is probably playing (like on Sean Hannity), "Let Freedom Ring...."

POPSTHE REAL DO-GOODERS VERSUS THE PSEUDO DO-GOODERS Their impassioned desires to make the ENTIRE world look the way THEY want it is a utopian dream - FOR A NARCISSIST! And they don't care if their utopia is just an unrealistic dream. Or, if it's been proven to be a nightmare in other nations, in other centuries. WHY!? Because: For the leftist, it's more about looking like their helping, than really helping.

POPSColorado Professor fired after 9-11 remarks What he said may have offended people, but the way the university dealt with the situation, was more devious than the writing. We deserve the right to make up their own minds, and to destroy our own credibility. When does research become plagiarism ? Surely something can only be researched, by drawing on what has been theorized or discovered by someone else. If something is to be verified, the more sources the better. If you don't like a statement because it is untrue, replace it with the truth. The truth has a longer shelf life.

POPSThe Fairness Doctrine The next doozy to come out of George Soros' camp of losers is the Fairness Doctrine, which if it passes will sit neatly next to McCain Feingold as a coup for the democratic camp. Already the landscape is starting to look like a foreign country to me with all of these regulations....
