POPSCharity or Coercion One of the best things about Christianity is its bent toward charity, giving to the poor, needy and caring for those who are unable to care for themselves.

POPSCone of Silence? Think "spiral of silence"! Media bias takes on a whole new meaning! If mass media "knowingly" manipulates the "spiral of silence," it amounts to coercion... ya think?!!! (Hey, notice how lately the media have been saying, over and over, there's no bias--but if there is, it's unintentional.") Uh, yeah.

POPSNOW WE MUST WIN AND PROUDLY SO There is this moment in our hands and Americans can and will be proud again to be a just people. DON'T BE SILENT BUT BE PROUD TO BE LIBERAL AND AMERICAN. Social liberalism, also called new liberalism (as it was originally termed), high liberalism radical liberalism, modern liberalism, or in North America and the United Kingdom simply liberalism, is a branch of liberalism which emphasizes individual rights and equal opportunity for all citizens. For social liberals, the lack of education, health, or employment, is seen as an equally large threat to individual freedom as state compulsion and coercion. Additionally, like other liberals, social liberals support (with qualifications) free markets, private entrepreneurship, and a limited state.

POPSHUD Admits Unqualified Borrowers Would Increase Risk Of Defaults Watch this video. Send the link to friends. We are on the verge of rewarding the party and the man who laid the groundwork for this fiasco with control of the government. Yes, Wall Street was greedy, but the Democratic Party and people like Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Greg Meeks, Franklin Raines and so many more plowed the field so that greed could grow. Remember that on election day. Get angry. :mad: LINKS: More from AJ Strata, who notes Obama saying that the point was to spread the risk not just across America, but the globe. That turned out real good, didn't it?

POPSFinancial Crisis: Fed Becomes Rogue Power
The Fed under Bernanke does whatever it wants. There is little constraints on it by law, being a creature actually outside of government. The "central bank" is actually a consortium of private banks with authority to print money "from thin air", as it states here. The Federal Reserve is no more "federal" than Federal Express. The only reason the Fed Chairman Bernanke went to Congress for a Bailout Plan (by using Treas. Sec'y Paulson to front, and hiding behind Bush) was to cover his hindquarters, and gain "consent" (by fear and coercion) of Congress, and putting Americans on the hook with them. Note the article states that the Fed acted already on its own to bailout Bear Stearns and make other "loans" (print money) without Congress: The Bernanke Fed first invoked rarely used 1930s powers to intervene — with taxpayer backing — in March when it provided a $29 billion loan as part of JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s takeover of Bear Stearns. The Fed is now Czar.

POPSCoercion and Freedom if you were to ask, say, the average senior citizen whether Social Security, Medicare and prescription drug subsidies should be continued, he would probably answer yes. The same would be true if you asked a college professor whether higher education should continue to be subsidized, or a farmer or a dairyman whether their products should be subsidized, or a manufacturer whether there should be tariffs and quotas on foreign products that compete with his product. The problem with congressmen producing favors and privileges to all interest groups is that it creates what none of us wants: massive control, numerous dictates and micromanagement of our lives.

POPSNonviolent Communication (NVC) The goal of NVC is to get one's own needs met while also meeting others' needs. A key principle of nonviolent communication that supports this is the capacity to express oneself without use of good/bad, right/wrong judgment, hence the emphasis on expressing feelings and needs, instead of criticisms or judgments.

Anarchism fails to * Prevent coercion by strong persons and aggressive foreign states * Prevent aggressive use or pollution of unowned resources * Prevent unfair treatment of creditors by bankrupt debtors * Regulate natural monopolies * Prevent anti-competitive artificial monopolies * Provide aid and sustenance to the indigent * Prevent torture and extinction of organisms

POPSIraq Might Force US to Leave; US Imperial Plans Revealed It's about sovereignty vs. imperialism. And this article reveals the neocon administration's real designs for Iraq--a forward base in the Middle East for "regime change": American negotiators presented a draft that would have given the U.S. access to 58 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and immunity from prosecution for both U.S. soldiers and private contractors. In other words, a free military hand, both inside and outside Iraq, and making use of their bases. So "Reconstruction" is really about making Iraq like the Philippines with a permanent military presence for global strategic interests for spreading "democracy" through military coercion against "rogue states" (i.e. states that defend their sovereignty) against US and UN interventionism toward a global PAX AMERICANA.

POPSCoerced Soldier The picture shows that this soldier has been thru Survival School and learned his lessons well. He's giving the sign of "coercion" with his left hand. These hand signs are taught in survival school to be used by POW's as a method of posing messages back to our intelligence services who may view the photo or video. This guy was obviously being coerced into shaking hands with Hillary Clinton. It's ironic how little she knew that he would so inform us about the photo---perhaps because she's never understood our military to begin with.
