POPSFBI says right-wing extremists greatest risk to United States The people at recent McCain rallies behavior is chilling in the level of anger and hate expressed. The entitlement and paranoia fueled by the GOP campaign tactics pose a real threat. Instead of speaking against this sort of thing McCain and Palin are encouraging it. What happened to Country first?????

POPSSwedish Spoken Here We are going to need those abroad to keep our economy strong and they are going to need us to be healthy as well. We all need each other and we need to concentrate on keeping our country free from terrorists attacks but visitor friendly in the process.

POPS Why We Can't Imagine Death? "This position holds that our ancestors suffered the unshakable illusion that their minds were immortal, and it’s this hiccup of gross irrationality that we have unmistakably inherited from them. Individual human beings, by virtue of their evolved cognitive architecture, had trouble conceptualizing their own psychological inexistence from the start."

POPSS.E.C. Concedes Oversight Flaws Fueled Collapse The announcement was the latest illustration of how the market turmoil was rapidly changing the regulatory landscape. In the coming months, Congress will consider overhauls to the regulatory structure, but the markets and the regulators are already transforming it in response to events.

POPSCSPAN Video Exposes Democrat Support of Sub Prime Mess I just love how the 'mainstream' media never once mentions any of these hearings when discussing how we got in this mess in the first place. After all, don't they have producers, researchers, etc. whose job it is to find this information. The thing is, they don't want this information reported on because it does not fit in their own narrow minded world view of 'blame the Republicans and George W. Bush for everything" model.

POPSLiberals Fueled Wall Street Woes Prudent best practices in lending fell by the wayside under pressure from liberal activists and "community organizers" who advocated "Change" to loosen lending restrictions to minorities. If you liked this "Change", you'll just love the "Change" the Trojan Horse has in mind for us.

POPSThe Real Culprits - Part One And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and Democrats now decry as not only greedy but "predatory." Yes, the market was fueled by greed and overleveraging in the secondary market for subprimes, vis-a-vis mortgaged-backed securities traded on Wall Street. But the seed was planted in the '90s by Clinton and his social engineers. They were the political catalyst behind this slow-motion financial train wreck. And it was the Clinton administration that mismanaged the quasi-governmental agencies that over the decades have come to manage the real estate market in America.

POPSThe Real Culprits In The Meltdown The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership. Yes, the market was fueled by greed and overleveraging in the secondary market for subprimes, vis-a-vis mortgaged-backed securities traded on Wall Street. But the seed was planted in the ’90s by Clinton and his social engineers. They were the political catalyst behind this slow-motion financial train wreck. As soon as Clinton crony Franklin Delano Raines took the helm in 1999 at Fannie Mae looting it for a total of almost $100 million in compensation by the time he left in early 2005 under an ethical cloud. Other Clinton cronies, including Janet Reno aide Jamie Gorelick "The Wall", padded their pockets to the tune of another $75 million. Raines was accused of overstating earnings and shifting losses so he and other senior executives could earn big bonuses.

POPSThe Palin-Whatshisname Ticket "The same Republicans who attack Democrats for being too P.C. about race now howl about sexism with such abandon you half-expect Phyllis Schlafly and Carly Fiorina to stage a bra-burning. The same gang that once fueled Internet rumors and media feeding frenzies over the Clintons’ private lives now express pious outrage when the same fate befalls the Palins. But the ultimate hypocrisy is that these woebegone, frightened opponents of change, sworn enemies of race-based college-admission initiatives, are now demanding their own affirmative action program for white folks applying to the electoral college. They want the bar for admission to the White House to be placed so low that legitimate scrutiny and criticism of Palin’s qualifications, record and family values can all be placed off limits."

POPSRussia tries to raise oil production The prospering energy industry has been crucial to the career of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who as president oversaw an eight-year, oil-fueled economic boom which improved the lives of many ordinary Russians and helped restore national self-confidence. Declining oil production is bad news for a resource-based economy where revenues from the oil industry account for about 25 percent of GDP — and undermines Russia's efforts to position itself as an influential guarantor of global energy supplies, providing as it does some 30 percent of Europe's oil imports.

POPS Obama's Top 10 Flip Flops Also everyone should know that Jerry Yang, the Yahoo! Inc Co-Founder, is a big Democrat supporter who himself has been guilty of helping the Chinese government imprison people. Obama's Gun Flip Flops Obama's Oil Spill - Obama says he doesn't take money from oil companies. We say that's a little too slick. Obama's Lame Claim About McCain's Money - Obama says McCain is "fueled" by money from lobbyists and PACs, but those sources account for less than 1.7 percent of McCain's money. Obama's Real Record: Public Housing -Obama rich friends hurts communities proof that Obama's Hope and Change rhetoric is all symbolism and no substance? Look no farther than this devastating Boston Globe investigation: http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2008/07/obamas-favorite-flip-flops-000825.php original link http://hiphoprepublican.com/2008/06/obamas-favorite-flip-flops.html

POPSTodd Palin Digs into Job Creation for Alaskans Todd Palin — oil worker, champion snowmobiler, hunter and commercial fisherman — also has been boning up on mining lately in his role as Alaska's first spouse. The companies that paid for the flights, a normal means of travel to remote and often roadless parts of Alaska, are both in the early stages of a lengthy approval process. A month after the first visit, Todd Palin toured the Red Dog Mine, a lead and zinc operation in the northwestern part of the state. That company is currently seeking permission to mine a new deposit, which would extend the life of the mine to 2031.

POPSObama and Iowa In this week's National Journal, the magazine's regular "Insider's Poll" asks Democratic and Republican luminaries (pollsters, strategists, and so on) which state is Obama's top pickup opportunity. Iowa ranks at the top for both groups. In the clip, James Barnes fleshes out a bit why. Note the importance of ethanol.

POPSWhy more troops won't help Afghanistan The nature of the conflict has changed from regional to a nation-wide warlord/Taliban alliance fueled by a separate and huge opium-poppy economy. This is what the Soviets failed to defeat, despite massive infusions of blood and capital.

POPSNano-Solar Power -Will it Be the Next Revolutionary Technology? Not that the technology is perfect. The system can absorb energy very well, but that's no good to anyone until they work out a way to harvest it from the sheet - when you're dealing with a hyper-complex web of millions of units oscillating at trillions of cycles per second, you can't just solder copper wires to the ends and call them plus and minus. This isn't a mistake or a weakness in the concept though; it's an issue because no-one has ever done this before. You know, the kind of thing that happens with cutting edge invention.

POPSBalance Of Power- II In the waining days of the Neo-Con administration, McCain needs all the help he can get for his election and furthermore, the Geopolitical strategies of NATO and the " NEW Europe ", mostly quite right wing, must do all they can to undermine Russia and China. Human rights in Russia, China and the demand from the collective West for more Democracy are diversions and fueled by propaganda.

POPSAdmiral: Scrap Enlistment Age Limits Here, here! I agree! I hear Rush Limbaugh has gotten himself into shape, this would allow him the chance to make up for avoiding Vietnam! Ted Nugent too, I heard an interview where he expressed regret for showing up with urine and fecal matter in his pants to avoid being drafted for Nam! He's in pretty good shape for his age.
