POPS Obama the Bore Is this anything for voters to be excited about? What does Obama's America stand for, anyway? Political cynicism may be expedient, but seeing it repeatedly is boring. Being in favor of tax increases during a recession, before being against them, before being for them again is boring. Advocating breathtaking spending increases as economic "stimulus" and then blaming others for the resulting ballooning deficits is boring. Constant posturing is boring. Constant excuses are boring. What is surprising is that Obama's entire election was based on his uniquely un-boring image and ability to excite, motivate and inspire. Young. Hip. Black. Fresh. Cool. Confident. Different. Above-the-fray. But something happened since the campaign. Time passed. Reality intruded. The magic faded. The promise was broken. We got to know him. As president, Obama is prickly and thin-skinned. He is preachy and condescending. He is self-absorbed, self-pitying, self-absolving . .

POPSDeath threats sent to top climate scientists Nothing quite as horrid as people who blame the messengers. Shows stupidity of the highest order, or a lack of education aimed at teaching understanding. Pathetic reaction from "me, me," extremists. If they really believe what they are saying, let the gutless bastards sign their names.

POPSRyan Plan Losing Support Nationally..0bamaMagic To Be Announced Later
Until Obama made the decision that no other "serious" government policy intellectuals would or could ever make -- that is, to embrace the unserious position that nothing needed to be done and it would, somehow, just sort of fix itself through some sort of unknown magic to be announced later, no serious person would ever even consider embracing such an unserious, irresponsible, politically-pandering and know-nothing-jackass view of government finance. But when Obama announced to his liberal coreligionists that he was going all-in on the demagogic do-nothing doom-and-bankruptcy unserious platform, suddenly they all changed their stripes within 48 hours and now deem Obama's non-plan to be worthy of consideration and a "serious" (in a way) response to the problem. I cannot stress the fact that I cannot stress this fact enough. Prior to Obama's gutless bet on irresponsibility, you could not find more than ten liberals in a serious policy-analysis position, whether at NPR . . .

POPSLiving in the USA: How Democray Dies: Lessons from a Master
Our gutless liberal class placates the enemies of democracy, hoping desperately to remain part of the ruling elite, rather than resist. ... liberals, because they serve as a cover for these corporate extremists, are our greatest traitors. The tragedy is that liberals and secularists, like Obama, are not viewed as competitors by the corporate forces that hold power, but as contaminates that must be eliminated. They have sought to work with forces that will never be placated ... abandoned the most basic values of the liberal class to play a game that in the end will mean their political and cultural extinction. There will be no swastikas this time but seas of red, white and blue flags and Christian crosses ... no stiff-armed salutes, but recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance ... no brown shirts but nocturnal visits from Homeland Security. The fear, rage and hatred of our dispossessed and confused working class are being channeled into currents that are undermining the last vestiges

POPSRolling Stone’s War He’ll be expected to run back and forth between there and the bridge, because apparently, as John W suggests in comments below, among the many, many generals who currently serve, only two are worth a damn, and he just fired one. Because of a Rolling Stone hit. OK, here’s the president: Obama is saying he has no policy disagreement with McChrystal, was not insulted by McChrystal. One of our nation’s finest soldiers. Great job in Afghanistan, great career, we should all be grateful. But war is bigger than any one man or woman. It’s also about Rolling Stone gotchas … Chain of command, code of conduct. It is important not to be targeted for a gotcha by Rolling Stone, and to have one’s aides say embarrassing things in unguarded moments. Everyone said I had to do something, so I guess I better … I give you Petraeus, always a crowd pleaser! OK, that isn’t exactly how he said it. Hang on, this part might be important: http://bit.ly/a17Nnm http://www.julescrittenden.com

We are the sum of what we do and what we do not do.The fear of prosecution or overt criticism for our actions has resulted in events such as this.We should be ashamed of our gutless acceptance of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS , THE RACE LAWS and THE SUE THEM SILLY ACTIONS that have progressively destroyed our culture by changing our laws or adding laws we do not need.HELP IS NOW A DIRTY WORD.

POPSWhiteWash: Ft. Hood Massacre Report Ignores Islamic Terrorism Ft.Hood massacre 'report' gutless and shameful There are two basic problems with the grotesque non-report on the Islamist- terror massacre at Fort Hood (released by the Defense Department yesterday): * It's not about what happened at Fort Hood. * It avoids entirely the issue of why it happened.

POPSLast-Man-Mistake-Death Opportunity Knocks who said in a separate interview from Kabul, “I don’t see how President Obama can make a decision about the committing of our additional forces, or even the further fulfillment of our mission that’s here today, without an adequate government in place.” His interview was broadcast on “Face the Nation.” The signals come as Republican critics already are complaining that the president is taking too long to decide They argue that Mr. Obama has left the impression of indecisiveness that has only emboldened the Taliban, making the task of the 68,000 American troops already there that much harder. Well, sometimes not making a decision is a decision. Not making a choice when you really have no choice is pretty much a forfeit, though. With every last one of our allies looking on, doing the mental calculus on which way to go now that the United States has shown itself to be utterly gutless and unreliable. With no vote of US confidence in any elected outcome whatsoever,

POPSOMG! Who's Going To Save Us From Global Warming Now? . . . . . really owes the White House an apology. This airbrushing was worthy of Stalin. Other NRO commenters at the link admire the assist the Politburo has gotten from the state-controlled media. The Moderate Voice : A case of poor vetting … Funny, that’s how I feel about the Obama administration, too. Aww, this is cute. Fellow-traveling Think Progress , wielding an airbrushlet: Racist right-wing conspiracy/hate campaign drives out smiling, well-intentioned, plucky environmental advocate. It’s an interesting presentation that makes no mention of you know what. Andrew Sullivan, to his credit, notices why Van was hounded out, but finds the gleefulness unseemly. Gutless wonder of a conspiracy theorist quits gutless wonder of a White House in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Labor Day weekend. Good work, Rahm. It’ll be out of the papers by Tuesday. Given that the Van Jones Truther scandal was barely covered in the first place, it’s like it never happened

POPSThe Little President From article: "Nicolas Sarkozy upheld our real values. He called the pictures of women and teenagers being beaten by Basij thugs on motorcycles "brutal" and "totally disproportionate." "The ruling power claims to have won the elections ... if that were true, we must ask why they find it necessary to imprison their opponents and repress them with such violence." "Chances are that behind the scenes the mullahs are promising Obama a glorious peace agreement that will allow him to parade his gargantuan ego around the world one more time. They are Persian rug sellers over there, who know all about hard bargaining. They've got his number: He's a pushover. Obama will trade personal glory against the freedom of Iran's people any day of the week."

POPSDishonest?....or.....Stupid? Take a good hard look at the antics of John McCain and don't let the "hero" card get in your way. I ask America: Why do we put as frontrunners two smug, manipulating, LYING, backstabbers like Hillary Clinton and John McCain? Ask yourself! Ask your friends! Ask your family! Why do we flock to these people. Is it a reflection of our own collective self-imagery? Then let's admit we ourselves may be scoundrels at times ~~ AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER IN OUR LEADERS!
