POPSObama Pastor's Theology: Destroy 'The White Enemy' Are you really surprised former DOJ attorneys are reporting Obama has a standing order to not pursue voter intimidation cases when the defendant is black? Look to Obama's pastor of 20 years for the reasons why. It appears the democrats are trying to divide the country by race. It is like the Bizzaro world of America.

POPS“I Tried To Stop Smoking By Telling Myself I Just Didn't Want To Smoke, But I Didn't Believe Myself” But that’s not what the doctors said. The actual wording of the report is this: “Continue smoking cessation efforts, a daily exercise program, healthy diet, moderation in alcohol intake, periodic dental care, and remain up to date with recommended immunizations.” http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/01/barack-obama-told-to-quit-smoking There is quite a difference between saying the president “should drink less alcohol” and saying he should “continue moderation in alcohol intake.” Read more: http://nosheepleshere.blogspot.com/2010/03/fearless-reader-i-tried-to-stop-smoking.html#ixzz0h3XygOqm

POPSObama Health Care Reform - Taxes Increased for All to cover the cost of Obamacare, such as a value added tax (VAT) which increases income tax, taxes on spending and consumption, savings, etc. The cost of the "new" Obamacare plan is claimed to cost $1 trillion, as stated by President Obama. Dr. Feldstein and many others put the true cost closer to $2 trillion. This amount has also been said to be independent of the added cost of expanding Medicaid for all 50 states (or all 58 states, excluding Alaska and Hawaii) as in the "Corn-husker Kickback, and other extra expenses." What is also left unmentioned is the approximately $300 billion in interest, assuming Obamacare only costs $1 trillion. According to the US Census population clock the current population at the time of this writing was 308,749,281, most of whom do not want Obamacare. Assuming over-inflated number of 31 million who cannot afford insurance, the uninsured only represents 10% of the total population.

POPSWhat Would Jesus Think of the Religious Right? The radical right – be it the Christian coalition, the white supremacists, the neo-nazis and others – are the embodiment of all that is ugly in America. They prey on the weak-minded, the lonely and the psychopaths of society. They preach a gospel of hate and intolerance which goes against the very essence of what the Bible teaches. In this group I would include the Limbaughs, Savages, Falwells and Dobsons, for beneath their cloak of pious indignation, the message is clear – if your neighbor is not white, Christian, heterosexual or American-born, then fear them.

POPSBill O’Reilly Meets Jon Stewart, Not Much Hilarity Ensues
This means that their discussion was quite substantive, with Stewart playing the role of the guy who wants to be a cenrist but can’t find where the center is in a world gone mad, and O’Reilly mostly concerned with defending the honour of his network as a news organization, and trying to argue that Stewart’s “cyclonic perpetual emotional machine” is only driven by a couple of guys on the network. It really does seem that this is the only criticism that stings at Fox News, which has gone out of its way to argue that its news shows are separate from its opinion shows. (I think this doesn’t really wash if you’ve watched most of their news anchors, apart from Shepard Smith. The m.o. of many Fox News anchors is to report the news in such a way as to provide talking points for the “opinion” shows. And in any case, opinion shows on cable news tend to present themselves as news sources.) The fact that Stewart is more respectful of O’Reilly than he was of Crossfire is intere

POPSProgressive Radio Hosts Say Air America Closing Won’t Affect Them “What difference will that make on progressive talk radio nationwide? Zero.” Air America is dead. Fine. No big deal. What matters is that the best hosts will continue and the others will hopefully never return: The Montel Williams Show and especially Clout with Richard Green should remain in the graveyard. Richard Green was the biggest bore. He could go on and on and argue with his staff about meatless Monday ( you ate meat? how dare you! and wearing a sleep mask (is it manly?). I'll miss the The Lionel Show : independent and erudite.

POPSBreaking: Bill Ayers Accused of Bombing Police Station -- Killing San Francisco Police Officer ...Update: Ayers Does Not Regret Bombings The accusation from the union surprised some authorities. According to a source familiar with the probe, who spoke on condition of anonymity, investigators have found no evidence that links the Weather Underground to the bombing. America's Survival is planning to hold a press conference today at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to discuss the case and the union's letter. UPDATE: TuberVision has an excellent video on the history of The Weatherman. http://tubervision.com/video/115/The-Lowdown-on-The-Weathermen
