POPSMedvedev: Ready To Respond If U.S. Ends Missile Plan "We hope to create frank and honest relations with the new administration and resolve problems that we were not able to resolve with the current administration," he said. Iran, Iraq, Russia, all have extended a hand of peace towards America. Obama had better not screw up this opportunity to make right some of all Bush's wrongs. As Bush once said: "Either you are with us, or you are against us." If America continues to choose to threaten the security of Europe with their paranoid evil plans, I will know for sure that America is the true enemy of the whole world. Russia are closer neighbours to us, than the US and I for one, (among many others here in Dk), trust them a hell of a lot more, than we'll ever trust America. Get Obama to stop the plans for the stupid paranoid damned missile shield. The ball is in America's court. I hope they play it wisely.

POPSDon't Ask, Don't Tell, Do Kill It is not on the top of our priorities list, which is occupied by issues of terror, kidnapping and killing," said the judge. Doing it? Or preventing it?? :confused: Persecution of gays will stop only if can abandon centuries-old prejudices. They would have to acknowledge that human rights don't cover only the humans they like.

POPSChina Tells Rich Polluting Nations To Change Lifestyle China wants technology aid to feature in that pact, which negotiators hope to seal in Copenhagen late next year. Climate officials gathered in Beijing welcomed China's growing activism on the issue but questioned its proposal, especially with an economic downturn draining coffers. "It is undeniable that the financial crisis will have an impact on the climate change negotiations," said Yvo de Boer, who heads the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat. "If we go to citizens under the current circumstances ... and say 'I'm increasing your tax burden in order to pay for climate policy', that might not go down very well," he told Reuters. But Beijing will wait to see what U.S. President-elect Barack Obama offers in greenhouse gas goals and aid before showing more of its own bargaining cards, said Hedegaard.

POPSIs newsprint 'giving in' to the internet? We have all seen this coming and now several newspapers are giving up their ink and paper editions to save costs. I am sure more wll soon follow. I used to read a daily newspaper until about five years ago and haven't looked back. Some people claim they need the 'feel' of paper in their hands to get the daily news but the majority of us get our news from television and the internet. Do you still get newspaper delivery?

POPSThe Ignored Slaughter Sporadic snippets are all we get here in the US. This is not considered news worthy. We'd rather focus on how much a candidate for VP spends on clothes or if the leading candidate is Marxist. How did our priorities become so screwed up?

POPS Obama's Foreign Policy Judgment In October 2008, the Iranian government announced its own preconditions for one-on-one meetings with the Unites States: Pull all US troops out of the Middle East, and abandon support for “Zionist” Israel. These absurd demands further expose Obama’s very poor judgment vis-a-vis a regime that is actively aiding and abetting terrorists in Iraq who are killing US servicemen. Iran’s “preconditions” prove that negotiating with bad-faith actors who hate Americans and Jews would accomplish nothing other than handing their regime a PR coup. In recent months, Obama’s campaign has continually claimed that he didn’t actually make the promise that he did. The tape does not lie.

POPSDemocrats are Worried Have you ever watched a baseball game where every time the announcer says a good thing about your team or player you spend the next ten minutes spitting, throwing salt over your shoulder, knocking on every available piece of wood and crossing all available appendages? That's how the Democrats feel right now. It ain't over.....

POPS Sending Iran's Regrets ~ Michael J. Totten The United States isn't going to abandon a long-standing ally just because terrorists, Jew-hating dictatorships, and a minority of disgruntled American radicals find it distasteful. Even if the vote goes his way and Obama wins the election, Jackson will still have to keep hope alive, as will the Iranians. Withdrawing all U.S. forces from the Middle East likewise is not going to happen. Obama may want to bug out of Iraq as quickly as humanly possible, but there isn't even a small chance that he'll shut down American military bases in Turkey, Kuwait, and Qatar. Iran's preconditions are unacceptable. Whatever preconditions Obama would have, if he had any, would almost certainly be unacceptable from the point of view of the Islamic Repubic. The interests of the U.S. and Iran are diametrically opposite, and they have been since 1979. Obama may not understand this, but at least Tehran does.

POPSHere comes the New World Order There is a report that the IMF is auditing the books in the USA. It says Dubya signed off on this, with the stipulation being that the final report is not released until after he is out of office. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,562291,00.html

POPSObama would abandon Israel Listen up, Jewish community in Florida and elsewhere: Obama (the muslim sheep in Christian clothing) would pull the rug out from under Israel, and would repair our relations with Islam. Any Jewish person who votes for this monstrosity is indeed a fool.

POPSThe End of America? During a question-and-answer period after the speech, Natasha Cohen (CAS’12) asked Bacevich how internal change might be brought about. “We need to live within our means, as individuals in our households and in terms of the services provided for by government at various levels,” he answered. “I’m no economist, but I do believe there is no free lunch. Everything has to be paid for.”

POPSTo Each According To His Hyphen Clearly no member of ethnic minority should be allowed, under any circumstances, to oppose Obama. By doing so they will equate themselves to the self-reliant and individualistic, success-driven Caucasian male grownups, which is patently absurd. Someone has yet to answer for the existence of Thomas Sowell, Michael Steele, and Condi Rice. What will happen to the Party if all minority representatives stop representing and abandon the progressive protection racket?

POPSJim Cramer: Abandon the market immedieately, no matter the losses you take "Whatever money you may need for the next five years , PLEASE take it out of the stock market right now, this week. I do not believe you should risk those assets in the stock market." See also: Wall Street's Racket Has Gone Too Far, and We're Going to Pay the Heavy Price When Jim "Mad Money" Cramer says sell immediately, no matter the loss you take... If America goes bankrupt, I hope we at least have enough cash on hand to get our troops a cab ride home from our far-flung (and expensive) empire.
