POPSAnother Freedom Lost during Obama Campaign Richmond Virginia Election officials wish to tell voters what clothing they can wear. We have seen the attempt by this congress to take away our right to bear arms. We have heard talk from this congress to silence opposing views to their socialistic policies by enacting a fairness doctrine to police the airwaves. We have seen the government takeover of private business with this so called bail out bill, and now we see the assault on freedom of speech being enacted against our citizenry. In fact I may even go as far to say it would appear that the only candidate we are allowed to vote for is Obama from all the news coverage he seems to get. And with his own organization attempting to flood the voter registrations with bogus registrants, it surely does make one think what the "h" is going on in this country?

POPSRudd moves to stop executive greed The move will be popular with most people and the money people can't argue when it is their greed that caused this problem. When you foul up in "extreme sports", you usually suffer.

POPSIndividual & the Common Good This one sentence seems to sum up for me the entire focus of this project: How does a society balance the freedoms of the individual with the needs of the larger group?

POPSGuantanamo prosecutor who quit had 'grave misgivings' about fairness Cont.... Vandeveld is at least the fourth prosecutor to resign under protest. Questions about the fairness of the tribunals have been raised by the very people charged with conducting them, according to legal experts, human rights observers and current and former military officials. Vandeveld's claims are particularly explosive. In a declaration and subsequent testimony, he said the U.S. government was not providing defense lawyers with the evidence it had against their clients, including exculpatory information -- material considered helpful to the defense.

POPSConservatives Should Neither Be Seen Nor Heard I know I would be severely annoyed if I traveled to hear someone speak only to have them drowned out by protesters, but it should work both ways. Freedom of speech, but conducted in an orderly fashion. However, the "Fairness Doctrine" really bugs me.

POPS Attention! Deficits Disorder
The temporary tax measures in place during the war were repealed and, by the end of the 19th century, the debt had been reduced to $1.2 billion, less than half of its 1865 level. Given the vast expansion of U.S. territory and the wars the country fought to create and then hold together the United States, this does not seem a large debt level. In fact, in its first 110 years of history, the United States had shown its ability to fund expansion while reducing debt over time. And this was accomplished without an income tax. In fact, in 1869 and again in 1895, the Supreme Court ruled federal income taxes unconstitutional. The story was quite different in the 20th century. By the end of World War I, the national debt had risen to $26 billion. Even though the debt level had been reduced over the next decade, the Great Depression caused further deficit spending and FDR's New Deal tripled debt levels up to $72 billion. In other words, the national debt is growing exponentially.

POPSMaking Up Quotes Oh yes - the purity of mainstream journalism where complete and utter fairness reigns. And stuff like this is probably why 80% of Americans believe the media is just an arm of the Obama campaign.

POPSIn Conservative Nepal, a Tribune for the ‘Third Gender’ Speaks Out This is a terrific story about a youngish man, who has decided to buck the ultra-Conservative views of his country, Nepal, and its politics, and fight, ever so gently, for equal recognition of gays, lesbians, transgendered and other sexual minorities. I love stories like these. It gives me a much more positive outlook and the inherent fairness of the human race.

POPSMore insight It will always be that that those who habitually exempt themselves from the standards they set for others will endow themselves with much superiority. The progressive agenda is not a government by the people for the people, it is a government by the self-appointed elite for the people that cannot do anything were it not for a benevolent oligarchy.

POPSMika Brzezinski Hits 'Liberal Elite' Palin Critics MIKE BARNICLE: A little editorial opinion there from Mika! BRZEZINSKI: Well I'm just saying, I think there was a little veiled judgment that I don't appreciate, and I think that was incredible coming from two women that have benefited from the advances we have made and quite frankly the ability to bring our families forward and educate our children in ways that we wouldn't be able to if we didn't better ourselves. PAT BUCHANAN: This is a surprising attitude from them, isn't it? BRZEZINSKI: Thank you. BUCHANAN: Why do you think they said it in this case? Is it because Sarah Palin happens to be one of us rather than one of them? BRZEZINSKI: This is an argument Joe and I have about fairness and whether or not there are some sort of underlying unfairness when it comes to Republicans. And I just, you know, I feel it here. I'm not sure where this is coming from. It may be a woman thing.
