POPSPraying for Wall St. And hoping no one notices the total hypocrisy of the situation. "Jesus is stated to have visited the Temple in Jerusalem, Herod's Temple, at which the courtyard is described as being filled with livestock and the tables of the money changers, who changed the standard Greek and Roman money for Jewish and Tyrian money, which were the only coinage that could be used in Temple ceremonies. According to the Gospels, Jesus took offense to this (extorting profit from the exchange of monies), and so, creating a whip from some cords, drives out the livestock, scatters the coins of the money changers, and turns over their tables, and those of the people selling doves."

POPSRoyal Marine thief I wonder how different this case is from the one when a Royal Marine Association elected representative was denied access and freedom to speak to the annual RMA gathering , who was not allowed to take his place because an unelected member was already an unelected trustee sitting in his stead? To steal anything is wrong but to deny democratic rights is more heinous than pilfering property. It goes to the soul of our being. That's one of the reasons why so many former BOOTNECKS are not members of the local RMA. Is that why the trustees would not allow a large group of non-conforming bootnecks to for their own Association.

POPSA Hero's Homecoming: SOCOM's Black Dagger Jumpers Brought The House Keys The house was built by Operation Coming Home, a group of military veterans who are now real estate agents and home builders. All the material and labor were donated. The mission of "Operation Coming Home" is to provide injured war veterans with free houses that they call "Hero Homes." Bozik was the first recipient. The home was built with special features to make Bozik's life easier, including radiant heat floors, easy-access cabinets, a sprinkler system and appliances with special hinges and levers that make opening doors easier. Bozik and his pregnant wife were moving in Monday, because Oct. 27 is his "Alive Day" – the anniversary of the day he came out of coma from his injuries. It happened here, and with your help, it will happen again. Update:One of Joey and Jayme's biggest supporters is miblogger Blackfive, who has an extensive trove of articles about what they gone through to get to where they are today.

POPSPalin Supports and Promotes Freemasonry Her recent declaration, April 2008, encourages, supports, and promotes various Masonic secret societies which are anti-Christian in their secret oaths, rites, symbolism, and ceremonies that push a philosophical and spiritual global agenda behind their outward charities. Even the anti-Christian Deist Thomas Paine wrote that freemasonry can be traced back to Druidism . Freemasonry teaches Deism and rejects the authority of scripture (while they hypocritically swear upon it), and takes a Deistic interpretation of the Bible. Again, the "christian conservatives" should take note of what "their candidate" is really all about instead of being naive. (Bush is a member, like Kerry too, of Skull & Bones).

POPSSummary of the Democratic National Convention 08 With the DNC news the last ten days and all the clipmarkers I follow, I've been Popping and Commening till my fingers wore out. This has probably been the most incredible convention in USA America since the radical days and riot at the Democratic convention of 1968 -- when the Vietnam War and recent killings of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King had shattered the nation. This time the excitement is for a lot more better reasons and the thousands of protesters are at the Republican National Convention, where they belong. With all the clipping and popping and comments swirling around this I thought that perhaps my web page summary of the DNC might be of some value. It has video links to all major speeches, all live music performances, a few video tributes, a quick clip of kicking out Fox News, etc. -- all the good stuff. Note: The permanent bookmark for this page is at: http://www.americancitizenstogether.org/ACT/ACT_080831.html
