POPSYet More Glad Tidings From The President-Select * Provide $50 billion to Jumpstart the Economy and Prevent 1 Million Americans from Losing Their Jobs: This relief would include a $25 billion State Growth Fund to prevent state and local cuts in health, education, housing, and heating assistance or counterproductive increases in property taxes, tolls or fees. The Obama-Biden relief plan will also include $25 billion in a Jobs and Growth Fund to prevent cutbacks in road and bridge maintenance and fund school repair - all to save more than 1 million jobs in danger of being cut. Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief Obama and Biden will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay. * Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama and Biden will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. This is “spreading the wealth around” — big time.

POPSThe search for the roots of psychopathy Research is being done to study the brains of psychopaths in prison using a portable functional magnetic-resonance-imaging scanner, looking for a defect , with the goal of discovering a treatment. "Although the number of psychopaths who are not in prisons is thought to exceed the number who are—if the one-per-cent figure is correct, there are more than a million psychopaths at large in the United States alone—they are much harder to identify in the outside world. Some are “successful psychopaths,” holding down good jobs in many types of industries. It is generally only if they commit a crime and enter the criminal-justice system that they become available for research." I've known at least two psychopaths personally, neither incarcerated. They are scary people.

POPSUS Unemployment Rate Reached 14-Year High It's hard to imagine how the budget deficit, much less the national debt, can get paid down as long as more and more tax-payers lose their jobs. Not only does the the US lose their revenue, but it also losses the revenue generated by their economic activity. The USA needs another WPA program to put people back to work and also to improve the nation's infrastructure, which itself would generate economic activity.

POPSDavid Duke's Take on the Presidential Election This is from an NPR interview. Duke believes that McCain is a traitor to his race. I'm glad NPR conducted this interview. If we pretend that thinking like Duke's doesn't exist then we let it fester. When we expose these beliefs to the light of day we can start to counter them, to hold them up to scrutiny and attack them head on. Racial bias has been recently shown to exist. When people perceive an applicant to be black (from their resume) they perceive their qualifications as less than they do when the same candidate is perceived to be white. Affirmative action works to correct this very real problem.

POPSInseparable: Obama, Ayers And Our Economy My view is in sharp contrast with the general perception that Ayers is a side issue, a distraction from the economy. As we shall see, the facts tell a different story. On the basis of these facts, I contend that Bill Ayers is the key to understanding Barack Obama's economic policy. Please allow me the opportunity to present my case. Here is a list of the other entries in this series. They are best read in order, but you may want to skip to the subjects that interest you Note: The remaining entries are in progress and will be posted soon. In the meantime, you can learn more by googling: Ayers Obama "New Party" Bill Ayers and the socialist New Party. Barack Obama and the socialist New Party. Socialism in Obama's economic proposals. Can Obama be trusted with our economy?

POPSObama says: "McCain puts Wall Street first, Main St. last"
Thank goodness someone has the clarity of thought, power and force to break through the miasma of Republican swamp gas that has drugged the American people for so many years and turned them into zombies. WALL STREET SOCIALISM is what the Republican party has always been about. Giving more favorable tax treatment to the SuperRich then to the average person is what the Republicans have always been about. Absurd promises which have never proved true about how the wealth will "trickle down," is what the Republicans have always been about. Calling someone a socialist or a communist or a terrorist inciting class warfare when they propose fair tax treatment is what the Republicans have always been about. Saying they want smaller government and then doubling the national debt and making budgets with the greatest deficits is what the Republicans have always been about. Concentrating wealth and power into the top 1% of the nation and destroying the middle class is what Republic

POPSNo Friend To Small Business! (Hey Joe!)
At the same time that President Bush backed the $700 billion dollar Wall Street bailout, he continued to dismantle existing federal programs designed to assist American small businesses. During his two terms, President Bush has systematically dismantled each and every program established under the Small Business Act to assist American small businesses, especially those firms owned by women, minorities and veterans. President Bush's anti-small business policies began during his first week as president. The first thing he did to dismantle America's small business programs was to remove the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) from the President's Cabinet. Then he began to cut the SBA's budget and staffing more than any other federal agency. Since 2003, over a dozen federal investigations have been released, which have all found rampant and government-wide fraud, abuse, loopholes and a blatant lack of proper oversight in federal small business contracting program.

POPSObama's "Trickle Up" Theory Of Economics "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody." Critics said Obama let the cat out of the bag. "It's clear that his main goal is redistribution of wealth, not growth," said Andy Roth with the anti-tax group Club for Growth. "He's perfectly happy to destroy wealth as long as he can redistribute it." Obama has been meticulous, Roth said, to conceal the "socialistic" nature of his tax plans. "But every once in a while, he lets it slip," he said. Republican candidate John McCain yesterday charged that Obama's comment was telling. "This explains how Senator Obama can promise an income-tax cut for millions who aren't even paying income taxes right now," he said in Pennsylvania. "My plan isn't intended to force small businesses to cut jobs to pay higher taxes so we can 'spread the wealth around.' My plan is intended to create jobs and increase the wealth of all Americans."

POPSSome blunt comments about the bailout "It would be delicious irony if Wells Fargo announced that they plan to use their share of the loot to move all their mortgage processing to Bangalore, slash 15,000 jobs, and invest the rest in real estate projects in Dubai."

POPSFrom "War on Terror" to "War of Terror" This war in Afghanistan's not about avenging the 9-11 attacks or preventing new ones. It's about killing local fighters, who fight to rid Afghanistan of unwelcome foreigners from Christian-majority countries. What began as a "War on Terror" has long since become a War of Terror. The Canadians and Europeans have long since tired of it. So have the American people, despite the failure of the corporate media to expose the Big Lies that Cheney and Bush continue to promote in order to justify their Terror War. Seven years down the road, there's no end in sight. No hope except for the "fool's hope" that public opinion in the imperialist countries, plus the inevitable resistance of the Afghans to foreign control, plus the military judgement that the war is not winnable will bring this "good war" to an end. The whole article is worth reading. Clip Song

POPSParental Alienation Syndrome, the Other Side of the Story The so-called Parental Alienation Syndrome, touted by many in the Rhode Island Family Court, has been discredited by the American Psychological Association and, recently, by both the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges and the Children’s Legal Rights Journal.

POPSMcCain and Palin Can No Longer Be Excused That’s right – evil. Not just wrong. Not just bad. Not just politics. Exploiting otherwise decent people and using their fears, pain and frustration to unleash them on others with different names or different skin colors or different religious beliefs is evil. That’s not what American politicians do. That’s what Adolf Hitler did. And he did it when people were afraid and angry and losing their jobs and their life savings.

POPSChange you can believe in - change for the worse Do you like paying taxes, then watch government become bigger and more incompetent? Do you like discovering your family doesn't have enough income and start looking for a second job, only to find there are none? Do you really want a health care system like Canada's (ask any Canadian what they think of their health care - they wait over a year for an MRI, for example..) Did you like Carter's sky high inflation with a downward spiraling productivity? Then you will LOVE the change Obama brings you.
