POPSStay Off of Fox News: Obama Administration Warns Democrat Strategist
White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said that she had checked with colleagues who "deal with TV issues" and that they had not told people to avoid Fox. On the contrary, they had urged people to appear on the network, Dunn wrote in an e-mail. But Patrick Caddell, a Fox News contributor and former pollster for President Carter, said he had spoken to Democratic consultants who said they were told by the White House to avoid appearances on Fox. He declined to give their names. Caddell said he had not gotten that message himself from the White House. He added: "I have heard that they've done that to others in not too subtle ways. I find it appalling. When the White House gets in the business of suppressing dissent and comment, particularly from its own party, it hurts itself." Some observers say White House officials might be urging consultants to spurn Fox to isolate the network and make it appear more partisan. Los Angeles Times

POPS Dismantling America by Thomas Sowell life and death decisions about your loved ones? Does any of this sound like America? How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough. How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries. We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American. Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing .

POPS Is Barack Obama Anti-American? And with other dreams (for example, the Second Amendment) he’s doing a fancy dance by which he tries to hide his authoritarian impulses. But it doesn’t matter. This post isn’t about what Obama will actually do. It’s about what he wants to do, what his desires are vis a vis the American people " and it’s very clear that his desire is antithetical to the American essence. He wants to limit or destroy individual liberties. Politically, too, Obama’s impulses are all antithetical to liberty. Again, some examples: He has turned against the only democratic nation in the Middle East (that would be Israel), in favor of the bloodied tyrannical theocracies on her borders. By reversing his pledge to keep a missile defense system in place in Poland and the Czech Republic, he has favored Iran’s Muslim tyranny Figuratively and literally, he bows to dictators (Saudis, Venezuelans, Russians, Iranians, Cubans). In Honduras, he sided with the delusional Zelaya against the . . .

POPSObama Administration Sued Over Healthcare Enemies List Nevertheless, say the two groups filing suit, the information collection effort continues under another name and is part of an "unlawful pattern and practice to collect and maintain information" on the exercise of free speech, which "continues in violation of the Privacy Act and First Amendment even if the Defendants terminate a particular information-collection component due to negative publicity." "My hate mail started shortly after the White House issued the 'fishy' request," said Kathryn Serkes, AAPS' Director of Policy and Public Affairs. "We were quite visible and vocal before then, so it doesn't seem like a coincidence. Who did they share their data with? With whom might they share it?" In the suit, the groups are demanding the White House remove all information already collected, and further, be prohibited from collecting any personal data in the future.

POPSBarney Frank pwns crazy lady at "town hall" meeting, invokes Godwin's law. CRAZY LADY: "Why do you continue to support a Nazi Policy, as Obama has expressly supported this policy, why are you supporting it?" BARNEY FRANK: "When you ask me that question, I"m gonna revert to my ethnic heritage and answer it with a question: "On what planet do you spend most of your time?" You want me want me to answer the question? Yes, you stand there with a picture of the President defaced to look like Hitler, and compare the effort to increase healthcare to the Nazis, my answer to you is, as I said before, it is a tribute to the 1st Amendment that this sort of vile, contemptible nonsense is free to be propagated. Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to have a conversation with a dining room table, and I have no interest in doing it. Reductio ad Hitlerum from LYNDON LAROUCHE .

POPSWild Misrepresentation Watch Democrat Healthcare Backfire Bonanza http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/08/12/democrat-healthcare-backfire-bonanza/ Other Democrats are complaining that Obama is sending his own astro-turfers and overwhelming their offices. Democrats are getting very desperate in their behavior and getting more unhinged than ever, but I’m saving the best example of this one for its own post. Mary Katheryne Ham summarizes the chaos: The White House, DNC, and leading Democrats keep piling on the unappealing rhetoric, labeling Obamacare critics pawns, lobbyists, un-American, and right-wing extremist mobs. You’d think the Blue Dogs might play it a little smarter, but no such luck. Indeed, they are in full on meltdown. tags 1st Amendment, Barack Obama, Dems In Charge: Now What?, Healthcare, News, Obamanuts, President

POPSBlack Officers Sue Philadelphia PD for Domelights.com Racism Think and say as you wish, but don't pretend that those same thoughts and words don't effect how you treat people when on the job. domelights.com has suspended all services. I just watched the news clip on fox's website. It says that the lawsuit states that this speech isnt protected by the First Ammendment. If thats so scumbags like the KKK, black Panthers, Aryan Nation, Michael Crook,MSNBC (sorry. Couldnt resist!) etc. would have never existed. How is what we say here NOT protected? And if for some unknown reason the GCL wins, who gets the money? Does every black cop in the PPD get a cut of that? All this does is get the GCL more free publicity from the worthless media in this city Legal analysis of the case at Litigation and Trial , a Philly attorney's blog.

POPSObama's Tour Leaps Back to the Future
Celebrating the Invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, laying a wreath at a concentration camp (while the German Chancellor made a point to lunch in Dresden), and giving a speech in a hearts of the Muslim world - about racist attempts to whip up a new Crusade,- it was another dramatic week in Obama's path forward - a path which also attempts to return America to the roots of its core laws and ideals. We're not suppose to act like Nazi or Israeli fascist, for example: We don't torture. We're not suppose to hate people for their religion (having religious freedom as our 1st Amendment law). We're not suppose to start unnecessary wars with deliberately fabricated lies. And we ain't all innocent, Obama mentioning how the USA played a role in the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran and replaced it with a cruel dictator, the Shah). Along the waym rausung the hackles of zionist extremist, Christian TV evangelist, racist & the Party of No. Bravo! Go Johnny

POPSThe Right to Peacefully Assemble - Nope Americans do not have the rights they always thought they did. There is no right to protest government. There is no right to assemble. The people have no rights at all to voice their displeasure. Shut up people. Go home. Nothing to see here. Go quietly back to your IPods and DVDs. Big daddy government will take care of you. The Obemmessiah will decide what’s best for you. Don’t worry your little heads. Oh, and thank you for your payments on April 15th. Put away the tar and feathers, won’t you? There’s a nice fella. 1st Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Obama was an attorney for ACORN when he worked as a “community organizer” in Chicago. ACORN will be gathering data for the 2010 Census. Obama Judicial Nominee Says Prayers to Allah OK...

POPS Video: Geert Wilders on Glenn Beck Also, what does it say about the threat against you when you need security to surround you in a CNN studio as Glenn Beck points out? Video: Geert Wilders on Glenn Beck: “Europe needs a 1st Amendment” After this, Geert will be in Washington on the invitation of Jon Kyl showing “Fitna” to the US Senate. I’m curious how the leftists in the Senate will react…Should be interesting. 5:33 pm on February 23, 2009 by Infidelesto http://infidelsarecool.com/2009/02/23/video-geert-wilders-on-glenn-beck-europe-needs-a-1st-amendment/

POPSACLU Defend Westboro Baptist Cult Again Sure, these funerals are in public cemetaries in most cases, but an assumed privacy right protection should extend to the mourners assembly and freedoms of expression. If communities can pass laws placing limits on the Westboro Hate Cult’s hate speech, this does not violate anything in the Constitution. Reasonable restrictions in order to maintain the peace such as barriers between the mourners and the haters should pass legal muster. I hope the ACLU and Westboro lose this one.

POPSBillboard promoting atheism will be removed This article goes a bit short on the details. As you find out here; http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_11041565 The city recieved 90. YES only 90! (In an area that has a population of aprox 2 million) complaints about the billboard. And with those 90 complaints they went to the billboard company to have it yanked down. These bastards stomped all over the 1st amendment because they don't like the idea of people displaying anything that opposes their ideological illness.

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...."
