POPSRudd's UN Vote Risks Anger of Jewish community In Israel, meanwhile, tens of thousands gathered yesterday at the square in Tel Aviv where PM Rabin was assassinated, to remember the man and his legacy 13 years after his murder. On Nov 4, 1995, Rabin was gunned down by an ultra-nationalist Jewish opponent of his policy of trading land to the Palestinians for peace. "Yitzhak, you are missed. The country misses you, you are missed by every one of us, but your way has not been lost," said President Peres, Rabin's partner in peacemaking, who was by his side the night he was assassinated. The rally in the square in front of the Tel Aviv town hall has become an annual event for Israelis wishing to pay their respects to their late leader.

POPSGood Friend Of Ann Durham's Father, Stanley Months back the MSM and the talking heads on the left challenged Sen. John McCain’s as a ‘natural born citizen’ and Constitutional qualification/ability to run for POTUS because he was born to his mother and his ABSOLUTELY, UNDENIABLY, KNOWN FATHER on a Naval Base in Panama Canal Zone … It was thoroughly investigated and THEN the Senate decides “Yeah, he’s cool … he can run”. This man who had a career as a Navy pilot and spent 6 years of his life as a POW in service to this country. This man who spent his adult life in service to this country … questioned on his citizenship and eligibility to run for POTUS.

POPSMcCain Passive/Aggressive on Race Make no mistake, referring to Obama as "different", "unknown" and "not trustworthy" is a direct appeal to the people of the deep south to atavistic racial fears. The issue of race in the south is convoluted and murky. In cosmopolitan centers, like Atlanta, it's hidden and insidious. Half an hour outside Atlanta it's blatant and expressed. McCain, when he deems it advantageous to do so, stokes these fears and hatreds repeatedly. I must say, John Lewis is my congressman. On this issue, he is spot on with his analysis.

POPSPastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Civil Forum
McCain added the two appointments Alito and Roberts are his recent favorites. When asked does evil exist and if so how would handle it? Ignore it, negotiate with it, confront it or defeat it Obama: verbose, wordy ..... he would confront it but also equivocated on what evil is. "We have to have some humility on the issue on the of confronting". Evil has been been committed in the pursuit of good. *sigh* McCain: "DEFEAT IT" huge applause. McCain went on to describe Radical Islam as the greatest threat of the 21at century. He said he would pursue bin Laden “to the gates of Hell,” Gotta love that. Obama's most important advisers: Michelle (the "proud" wife, the grandmother "a typical white person", and then a bumch of politicians - Ted Kennedy, Nunn, Biden et al McCain's most important advisers: Gen. David Petreaus, head of US troops in Iraq; US Rep. and veteran civil rights leader John Lewis, D-Ga.; and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a top adviser to his campaign.

POPSGroup Claims MLK Was GOP The article goes on: In "The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.," which was published after his death from his written material and records, King called the Republican national convention that nominated Goldwater a "frenzied wedding ... of the KKK and the radical right." "The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism," King said in the book. Doesn't sound very Republican to me.

POPSJames Dobson accuses Obama of `distorting' Bible Obama is correct on this. Dobson and Minnery are basically slamming those who do not acknowledge the New Testament - where Obama is at least acknowledging the Old and New. What irritates me about religion are those that think their version is the absolute truth (Dobbs/Minnery as an example) since they are no different then the radical Islamic groups.

POPSNew rights for terror detainees as deeply split Supreme Court rules It isn't hard to figure out why the right wingers are all in an uproar over this--you see it gives rights to human beings that aren't Amerikans and that's unthinkable because if we actually see our "enemies" (anyone not Amerikan or kissing our leader's butt) as HUMAN BEINGS and not just some vile brown monkeys like we're supposed to. How sad is that? What has Amerika become? Are we so vile as to deny basic rights to everyone not born here? And when theyu are given the barest of rights--not freedom, juist a chance at Justice--The bile that comes from the Right wing, from Scalia to Giuliani to Limbaugh is so odious, I may gag.

POPSThe Bigot in your Brain Why might black faces, in particular, provoke vigilance? Northwestern University psychologist Jennifer A. Richeson speculates that American cultural stereotypes linking young black men with crime, violence and danger are so robust that our brains may automatically give preferential attention to blacks as a category, just as they do for threatening animals such as snakes. In a recent unpublished study Richeson and her colleagues found that white college students’ visual attention was drawn more quickly to photographs of black versus white men, even though the images were flashed so quickly that participants did not consciously notice them. This heightened vigilance did not appear, however, when the men in the pictures were looking away from the camera. (Averted eye gaze, a signal of submission in humans and other animals, extinguishes explicit perceptions of threat.)

POPSWhen will they ever Learn, when will they ever learn, when will they ever learn
Previously, I've offered the Bush gang some undeserved advice. It was simple and even more obvious with time. Whatever instinct they have to do something, then don't. Do the opposite or do nothing. Everything they touch turns to dust. Just a few: Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, Iran, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, waterboarding, rendition, POWs, Dollar, Oil, Economy, Hamas, Gaza, West Bank, Katrina, civil rights, prisons, racism, FEAR. Only one state has prospered and at the US expense. It's economy roars ahead based on false security and terrorism. Iraq's government partly rules Baghdad's Green Zone. Now Lebanon's government may in time rule a Beirut Green Zone. Only Israel benefits. Bush ignored the democratically elected Hamas in Gaza. Then the US provoked a Hamas military takeover. Why? So Israel could practice judicial assassination and Hamas wouldn't talk peace? Never. And when Hamas through Carter offered the peace to the Zionists? The lamest excuse ever?

POPS40th Anniversarie of Dr Martin Luther King's death remembered Interesting point of fact that Rev Dr Martin Luther King was first a preacher of the gospel and then a leader for civil rights and and end to racism. Today we need more preachers preaching against the ills of society by proclaiming the gospel cure. It is a known fact that you can not legislate love it has to come from the heart.

POPSObama's Very Close With Racist Preacher Rev.Wright In light of the criticism of Bush’s injecting “too much religion” in his presidency or that his administration is just like a ”Christian Taliban”, it is also a legitimate question to ask, where are those same accusers when this 2007 speech by Barack Obama is so filled with religious fervor? Where are the anti-religious left and the so-called separation of Church and Staters at now? In fact, this entire speech is filled with nothing but class warfare, expansions of social programs, raising the minimum wage, typical great society type junk all couched squarely as a civic responsibility enmeshed with Obama's view of Biblical precepts. But, that boiler plate aside, there was two very interesting segments in Obama's remarks concerning his racist "spiritual mentor," Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. that are not getting the press it deserves. (See the video at Channel 2 News Chicago) http://cbs2chicago.com/video/?id=33004@wbbm.dayport.com

POPSWho Passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964? On February 10 , the House passed the bill by a vote of 290 to 130 and on June 19, in the wake of a record-breaking 75-day filibuster, the Senate passed its version of the civil rights bill . Now Lyndon Johnson began pressuring Congress to reach agreement on a bill that he could sign by July 4. At this moment, Johnson benefited not only from the civil rights coalition led by Martin Luther King but from the grassroots work of Bob Moses, then a young organizer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) . Three of its participants disappeared on June 21 . Their bodies would later be found buried in an earthen dam . The influence of Martin Luther King, Lyndon Johnson, and John Kennedy, along with years of demonstrations and sit-ins, had created a political tide that reached its peak with the disappearance of the three men. On July 2, Congress, under heavy public pressure, agreed to the civil rights bill that Johnson wanted.

POPSCanadian Troops To Patrol US Cities As Food Riots Feared "It is interesting to note, too, that the Canadian peoples, like their American neighbors to the south, were not told of these plans for their Military Forces, and as we can read as reported by Canada’s Canwest News Service, and who say: "Canada and the U.S. have signed an agreement that paves the way for the militarizes from either nation to send troops across each other's borders during an emergency, but some are questioning why the Harper government has kept silent on the deal. Neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian Forces announced the new agreement, which was signed Feb. 14 in Texas." "

POPSHarvey Milk Day....HOORAY!! It's a joy to hear that California may establish a state holiday in the name of civil rights leader and the first openly gay elected official, Harvey Milk who was assassinated in 1978. Harvey is a hero to the gay community, and yet he fought for the rights of all people, not just his fellow gay Americans. This is another example of how attitudes are changing in the U.S. Even though it gets discouraging at times, the country is on the road to accepting gays,and lesbians as equal to every other American.
