POPSThe Christian Party George W. Bush transformed the center-right party of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and his father, George H.W. Bush, into the political instrument of the religious right, tying the party to the evangelical protestants and to such Catholics as made the culture war central to their politics. In 2000 Bush-Cheney got 75 percent of the white evangelical vote.

POPSVeterans Occupy Natioanl Archives, Again Members of Veterans for Peace (VFP) chose the Archives for their nonviolent protest because it is symbolic of their military oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." In September they occupied the Archives for 24 hours, and plan to stay longer this time. Semper fi. Good luck to you all.

POPSWe Must Never Forget Too many egregious Republican party acts to fit in this clip, so be sure to go to the source to read the rest and add to the growing list in the comments. Here are a few more: "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president whose chief confidant and advisor was a political hit man and professional liar named Karl Rove." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who created a gulag in Guantanamo and sanctioned the torture of prisoners." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president whose inner circle participated in the outing of a CIA agent as political retribution." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who commuted the sentence of convicted perjurer (and unconvicted traitor) Scooter Libby." "We must never forget that the Republican party gave us a president who tried to privatize Social Security."

POPSNuclear smackdown in New Europe
Medvedev also sees the war in South Ossetia as symptomatic of a larger and more deeply-rooted problem. Medvedev: “A barbaric aggression against South Ossetia and the global financial crisis – two very different problems which nevertheless have common traits and a common origin...A local reckless enterprise provoked a rise of tensions far behind the region’s borders, in the whole of Europe, in the whole world. It called into question the efficiency of international security institutions and practically destabilized the basics of the world order. The lessons of mistakes and crises of 2008 proved to all the responsible nations that it is the time to act, and it is necessary to radically reform the political and economic system." Medvedev is right. The present architecture for global security needs to be thoroughly revamped as does the global financial system. Unilateralism, preemption and the Bush Doctrine have only made the world a more dangerous place. So, too, Wall Street's disp

POPSCheney Refuses to Leave When asked about Cheney's decision, President George W. Bush said, "I don't really care what the old fart does. Personally, I just want to get home to Crawford. I've trees to cut, brush to clear, memoirs to write."

POPSCitizens Will Risk Arrest to Bring Indictment of Bush and Cheney In April 2008, Obama said that as president he would indeed ask his new Attorney General and his deputies to "immediately review the information that's already there" and determine if an inquiry is warranted. It is the responsibility of citizens to make sure this happens. Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Tribunals following World War II, stated, "let me make clear that while this law is first applied against German aggressors, the law includes, and if it is to serve a useful purpose it must condemn aggression by any other nations, including those which sit here now in judgement." It is time, no matter who becomes our next president, to bring the criminals of the Bush regime to justice. We, the people, have the power and we can restore justice. Our group would include someone who was directly affected by the illegal invasion of Iraq.

POPSIt's Official: Emanuel is Obama Chief of Staff No surprise. This has been in the works for a few days, but now it's official. I suppose this should be the first position filled, since this is basically the guy who runs the cabinet. Emanuel wasn't on my wishlist, but you take what you can get. For Secretary of State, say it with me, "Bill Richardson, Bill Richardson, Bill Richardson..." There's been some talk of Robert Kennedy Jr. joining the team as head of the EPA. A good choice, but make him Attorney General and watch Dick Cheney shit his pants and run. See also; Obama Considers Stars for Cabinet .

POPSThe Treatment of Bush Has Been a Disgrace (?????) hahahahahahahahaha---this guy is so delusional...with all the damage Bush has done and is STIL tryin to do with his latest round of environmental deregulations designed to profit his cronies, I find it impossible to show him any respect whatsoever--He has no regard for people or the Earth! He should be prosecuted for war crimes and other felonies that he and Cheney have committed, not defended by this bozo.

POPSPalin asks if Democrats think terrorists are 'the good guys' WTF? This Bush/Cheney style of demonizing is what is wrong with this country. Mind you, if McCain/Palin win, the cultural divide in this country will only increase because they will continue to demonize and question the patriotism of anyone who does not agree with them. If I question the bloated Pentagon budget, I must hate America, including my parents, my brothers and sisters and all of their children, my grandmother, all my friends, all of their families, and everyone in my hometown. I want to destroy it all. Do people on the right really think this about people on the left? Without knowing me, without knowing the good I have done in this country and in this world? That I really, really want to destroy all I love because I dare to question Bush/Cheney and/or the military/industrial complex and it's continued reliance on perpetual conflict?!? It's absolutely fuckin' ludicrous!

POPSRussians with pumpkins protest many U.S. plots Conspiracy theorist run amok. Claiming the U.S. is responsible for WW1 and WW2 so that the American economy could overtake Europe's economy. Farfetched? Likely. Carried out Sept 11 attacks to broaden government powers and planned to brand every person on the planet with the "mark of the beast," as referenced in the Bible. Farfetched? Probably, but not out of the realm of possibility. I agree the U.S. is over-zealous in pushing its idea of democracy onto everyone else. And the cowboy-like demeanor of the Bush/Cheney neocons point to visions of world dominance, but they don't speak for all of us. What we need to take away from this report is that American arrogance needs to be curtailed. We don't want to live an "us vs them" existence. Hopefully the new incoming administration can repair the damage that foreign relations have suffered these past several years.

POPSObama Draws 60,000 in Ohio Early polls near the site were only scheduled to be open until 5 p.m., but Ohio Governor Ted Strickland told the crowd that he wanted so many people to show up that “at midnight tonight and at 2 a.m., tomorrow morning people will still be in line registering their votes for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.”

POPSArab Woman Trill/shriek At Obama Rallies-Praise Allah
Arab woman have been trilling at Obama rallies! I personally think this is a Republican dirty trick but -- I love it! Wow...I'd pay 10,000 dinars for a mix of a classic Obama rap with Arab woman trilling throughout; makes me want to jump up and set off firecrackers. Islam in slipping into our culture, real quick. It's getting quick acceptance. I did a google and found this: A Black rap with Arab music, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYoEH6VEwQ&feature=related The mix is happening (Gotta get this on my ipod!) & going the other way, too. Here's Taha doing Clash's 'Rock the Casbah," at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U76JhPVIoIs&feature=related Yanks, BTW, aren't really good for religious wars despite years of propaganda about Islamicfascism or something like that; Islam didn't do 9/11; 16 Saudi's did. Despite Bush/Cheney, neocon & zionist ideologies, hating all Muslims ain't gonna take root. Music, etc. 2good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwZZPUk4C1M&f

Kennedy Jr. and Greg Palast, after a year-long investigation, reveal a systematic program of "GOP vote tampering" on a massive scale.
