POPSBrokaw & Rose: Who Is Obama? And yet, they will vote for him, carry water for him and bow down at his altar. Really, really sad. There are far too many Americans who are in the same boat as our prestigious anchors. Barack just waves his hand and the Jedi mind trick does the rest..

POPSSilly Canonisation Is Guarantee Of Deep Disappointment Obama and John McCain in November - the Second Coming versus Old Grouchy, The Little Flower of Illinois up against the Scaremongering Axeman from Arizona. He has been a favourite because he conformed to the first law of contemporary political journalism: the only good conservative is a bad conservative. His willingness to defy his party on everything from taxes to global warming, to take on George Bush, has earned him at least an honourable mention in the martyrology of American politics of the past 40 years. But now that he's up against Oh! Bama! he will have to be recast in the more familiar Republican mould of villain and scaremonger-in-chief. This media narrative is not only an outgrowth of the journalists' natural enthusiasm for a Democrat such as Mr Obama. It is also a clever ploy to pre-emptively de-legitimise any Republican critique of the Democratic nominee.

POPSCormac McCarthy "Man's destructive hand spares nothing that lives; he kills to feed himself, he kills to clothe himself, he kills to adorn himself, he kills to attack, he kills to defend himself, he kills to instruct himself, he kills to amuse himself, he kills for the sake of killing. Proud and terrible king, he wants everything and nothing resists him... from the lamb he tears its guts and makes his harp resound... from the wolf his most deadly tooth to polish his pretty works of art; from the elephant his tusks to make a toy for his child - his table is covered with corpses... And who will exterminate him who exterminates all others? Himself. It is man who is charged with the slaughter of man... So it is accomplished... the great law of the violent destruction of living creatures. The whole earth, perpetually steeped in blood, is nothing but a vast altar upon which all that is living must be sacrificed without end, without measure, without pause, until the consummatio

POPSFuneral no time for "altar call" " A: The “altar call” is one of the most distinctive and controversial elements of evangelical Christianity. It was “invented” about 150 years ago by American evangelist Charles Finney and popularized by Dwight Moody and especially Billy Graham. The people who come to the altar say a sinner’s prayer and accept Jesus as their Lord and savior."

POPSA Garden Of Healing That Can Divide “Setting up these little gardens for people to stroll around and feel nice is one of these feel-good California-style exercises,” said Michael Arata, a member of the diocese from nearby Danville. “And I don’t see a practical benefit for something like that.” What makes the debate in Oakland all the more fragile is that the garden was developed by two women who were both sexually abused as children by a priest from the Oakland Diocese. Those victims are Jennifer Chapin, 35, and Terrie Light, 57, who says she is not surprised that the garden has met with skepticism. “Look, 99 percent of survivors might think this is stupid and meaningless,” Ms. Light said. “But there might be a few people who say, ‘This is everything to me.’ And then for them, it would be worthwhile.”

POPSZimbabwe early leaders
Please read the whole extract on my blog. For people with genuine interest in the plight of the African Nations, there is an insight into the mentality of Africans and their supporters. For those who say that my remarks are fundamentally racist, I say that these are events that have happened, and when I say to my younger relatives that I fear for the future of this once Great Island Nation, they too cannot see what I fear is happening around us. Whilst politicians blindly walk into a hostile future, there is a total reluctance to listen to those who have already been through these events. If you want a more graphic example just look at the Armed Services in Iraq and Afghanistan being sacrificed on the altar of political vanity by a few political egos. As a life soldier, those who have never been in action will never understand that we served for the adrenalin rush, there is no other like it. Once that has been removed all other life seems meaningless. If former soldiers fall i

POPSHard Power / Soft Power - Krauthammer
Solemn condemnations have been issued from every forum of soft-power fecklessness — the EU, the U.N., the G-8 foreign ministers — demanding that Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe stop butchering his opponents and step down. Before that, the cause du jour was Burma, where a vicious dictatorship allowed thousands of cyclone victims to die by denying them independently delivered foreign aid, lest it weaken the junta’s grip on power. And then there is Darfur, a perennial for which myriad diplomats and foreign-policy experts have devoted uncountable hours at the finest five-star hotels to deplore the genocide and urgently urge relief. What is done to free these people? Nothing. And who’s going to intervene? The only country that could is the country that in the last two decades led coalitions that liberated Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Having sacrificed much blood and treasure in its latest endeavor — the liberation of 25 million Iraqis from the most barbarous tyranny of all

'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again" Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where You found me And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way Chorus: Jesus can You show me just how far the east is from the west 'Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'Cause You know just how f
