POPSGeert Wilders Very rarely nowadays does a radio interview provoke intense thought. Geert Wilders, rightly or wrongly, has chosen a course of action which offends the Muslim minority in his homeland, and the pinkie liberal effete who would rather betray every aspect of their heritage, to an ideology which promotes the amputation of limbs for petty theft and the discriminatory stoning of women for adultery. If that was enforced in the UK I know of several neighbourhoods that would rapidly be depleted of females whilst the obliging males would have to find other means of sexual gratification. Put this recording of the BBC 4 Choice programme on audio, listen whilst you knit a Union Flag for the troops in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and the Balkans, and in Northern Ireland - Ulster to many of us old farts, and for those taking drugs whilst the government orders those who do not to turn a blind eye. The ipod or recording can be listened to on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/thechoice/pip/o83py/

POPSWill Washington Betray Anti-Regime Iranians? and I believe that that should lead to a review of whether they are still a terrorist organization or not." Since then, an interagency group of the U.S. government, led by the FBI, has exonerated the Iranians at Ashraf of terrorism. After a British court ruled that the group was not "concerned in terrorism," the U.K. government in June removed the group from its terrorist list. The Iranian regime is determined to destroy its main opponent and, with some success, has pressured the Iraqi government to disband Camp Ashraf and turn MEK members over to Iran. Then, on July 9, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said that the Iraqi government had decided to expel members of the MEK. The Iranian ambassador to Iraq, Hassan Kezemi-Qomi, specified that the Iraqi cabinet had agreed quickly to expel the MEK from Iraq. Iranian television reported on July 6 that "American military forces have announced their readiness to hand over" Camp Ashraf to Baghdad.

POPS What Obama's Senate Votes Reveal This past September, he joined 27 other Democrats in voting for a bill ordering Bush to begin withdrawing most American forces within 90 days. >>>>>>>>>>>from msnbc.com 'Yes' on Iraq funding cutoff The bill would have cut off funding for the Iraq deployment by June 30, 2008. Just two hours before that vote, Obama missed another Senate vote, this one to denounce a full-page New York Times ad run by the anti-war group Moveon.org mocking the U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23276453/page/2/ >>>>>>>>>>>>> Last October Obama voted for an act that would have allowed illegal immigrants who become permanent legal residents to qualify for lower in-state tuition rates at state universities.

POPSPetraeus/Betray Us Ad Results in A Deluge of Support for Moveon.org Moveon.org really started something with its Petraeus/Betray-Us ad. It actually was able to move the congress into introducing and voting on legislation condemning the organization for running the ad, which is the first bit of activity we have seen there in a while. While war rages and blood flows the most important thing on the minds of our legislators was to codify censorship. We must never speak poorly, especially of a military man in uniform. The Republicans were especially outraged. Yes, the same Republicans who swift-boated John Kerry and Max Cleland who were both Viet Nam vets and heroes. I guess it depends on who is wearing the uniform at the time when we condemn an attack. Anyway, Moveon.org has received a tremendous increase in donations since congress condemned them, so as far as they are concerned, keep the complaints coming Congresspersons.

POPSNYT admits giving MoveOn special treatment That was the first thing I wondered when I first heard the special rate excuse. How did they happen to get the ad run on the first day of the general's appearance when the date wasn't supposed to be guaranteed?

POPSCongress Has Betrayed-Us All To my way of thinking, whether one approves or disapproves of the MoveOn.Org ad is immaterial. What is at stake here is our democratic right to freedom of speech, which is a part of our Constitution. And yet, congress decided it was necessary for them to vote on a newspaper ad in order to condemn a groups very freedom to express itself. Remember the statement "I might not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it?" What happened to that belief in our country? Can anyone now deny that our country is taking a turn away from what it was founded to be? How dare we send our youngest and finest off to war in order to protect democratic liberties around the world, while we vote down those same liberties and rights in our own country. This was a cheap political trick instigated by the Republican right who has fallen out of favour with the American public for supporting Bush's illegal war, by trying to play on a faux patriotism.

POPSBush defends Petraeus re. MoveOn.org Among Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut voted against the resolution. Sens. Joe Biden of Delaware and Barack Obama of Illinois didn't vote. It speaks volumes that the only way criticism of Bush & his ilk can get into the media, is by purchasing ad space in the paper. "I felt like the ad was an attack, not only on Gen. Petraeus, but on the U.S. military," Bush said. Is this a prelude to silencing opposing voices by saying its an attack on the military?

POPSSenate votes to condemn free speech Wow, you would think they would have more important issues to debate! What a waste of time and tax dollars! I may not agree with what it said, but doesn't our constitution give them the right to say it? I guess not anymore! Even freedom of speech is up for debate in this regime!

POPSSenate Lawbreakers to MoveOn.org - no more free speech for you THEY are outraged? And at whom are these "lawbreakers" outraged? They are beside themselves because the American people have the nerve, the gall, to think that the First Amendment applies to them! How dare the Great Unwashed say something, anything with which they do not agree! They were so outraged that nothing would do but to put MoveOn's rights to a vote to "rebuke" them, as though they were misbehaving children. At one time they were pretend-outraged that Gonzo lied to their faces, but oh well. No harm done. It's not like we really need the right of habeas corpus, and besides, Gonzo is "one of us." What has become of this country? Why do we elect these people for life? The day is not long coming when the DC elites will experience what the CIA has long called "blowback." Outraged, my a**. They haven't seen outrage yet.

POPSMy Vote Against the Senate!!! This is my vote against the senate's vote condemning MoveOn.org. I think anyone that sides with "MoveOn" on this one, should post this "betray us ad" anywhere they can.

POPSDemocratic Cannibals It is pure illusion we have two parties when they all bow to one master. Book of revelations mentions said master in Book of Revelations 2:9-10, 3:9. are not alike. It serves the Zionists if they can blur the line between the two, and so make false accussations of 'anti-semite' when people criticize their actions but do not attack the 'faith' they hide behind. Zionists perpetrated 1,000 radiations upon true Semite Jews and persecute semite jews of hue. Those who are truely devout in any faith will share the same virtues and love of truth & humanity. Contrary actions betray when religion is merely a mask.] Pity our whole congress has becomes a brothel to this cabal. This two party system is illusion, when all politicians bow to foreign interests and sell out our nation along with their souls.

POPSMoveOn.org Hits Rudy Where It Truly Hurts Rudy just loved slamming MoveOn.Org's Betray-Us ad, and thought he might really hurt them in the eyes of the voting public. But MoveOn had other plans, and is now running an ad about something the Democratic candidates have yet to publicize. The fact that Giuliani dropped out of the 9/11 commission so that he could instead, go on tour of money-making speeches. Even in the Giuliani campaign/s response to this ad, they are unable to answer the charge, so they simply call names and act tough. How Rudy-like.

POPSNYT, MoveOn.org , What's the difference? Those Republicans, can't they just shut up and sit down? Yes, Giuliani is talking, but what is important is the the MSM makes sure it is clear that HE is talking, other than lebeling him as an "R" (which means "don't tust him"), they have nothing to say on the likes of MoveOn calling a current military commander a liar and a betrayer of the country he is sworn to serve. It is pretty doubful if any of the left even understands the concept of honor and being willing to die for principles. Hillary came close to calling Petraeus a "liar". The idea that Hillary has any concept of anything related to "truth or honor" is ridiculous. Hillary always was and always will be about "power for Hillary". It makes no difference what cost it takes for her to get that. When the Swift Boat guys were out, we heard a lot of complaints about "how bad those orgs are". Of course MoveOn? Not a problem; "All in the Family" for the NYT.

POPSSen. Clinton's slur She defends Hsu and accuses Gen. Petraeus. Does she have any evidence that he is lying, that he'd risk his life and career to lie? That those who support his report are also lying?
