POPSPaul Krugman: The politics of spite More: How did one of our great political parties become so ruthless, so willing to embrace scorched-earth tactics even if so doing undermines the ability of any future administration to govern? The key point is that ever since the Reagan years, the Republican Party has been dominated by radicals — ideologues and/or apparatchiks who, at a fundamental level, do not accept anyone else’s right to govern. Anyone surprised by the venomous, over-the-top opposition to Mr. Obama must have forgotten the Clinton years. Remember when Rush Limbaugh suggested that Hillary Clinton was a party to murder? When Newt Gingrich shut down the federal government in an attempt to bully Bill Clinton into accepting those Medicare cuts? And let’s not even talk about the impeachment saga.… It’s an ugly picture. But it’s the truth. And it’s a truth anyone trying to find solutions to America’s real problems has to understand.

POPSObama Policy Causes Death of American Soldiers Once again the Obama administration has shown whose side he is on in our fight against terrorism around the world. No it is not the side of America or the American soldier but rather the side of those who wish us harm. Current Rules of Engagement in Afghanistan have hampered our efforts to rout out Taliban insurgents bent on killing American soldiers. The sooner we rid our country of Islamic sympathizers the better off we will be in the end. Is it too soon to call for IMPEACHMENT of this present administration?

POPSIs Obama’s “Czar System” Grounds For Impeachment?
Was this what the Framers intended when they created the three branches of our government with all the checks and balances? I am no lawyer, and obviously not a Constitutional one, but it strikes me there is a problem here. And it could be very embarrassing to Mr. Obama. No doubt this is why, as Byron York points out, the mainstream media has been so reluctant to cover this story, only the WaPo and CBS chiming in at this point, although they were late to the party and relatively perfunctory. Had Bush appointed thirty-one czars outside the normal Congressional approval system the MSM would have been all over it like the proverbial wet suit, declaring a coup d’etat in the making. But, as of now, the MSM has imposed omerta. It is Labor Day weekend. We shall see what happens next week. UPDATE: Now that Van Jones has stepped, not surprisingly the NYT has commented " but without any acknowledgment that they had ignored the story. But what is interesting is that . . . .

POPSCan Honduras Be Saved From Communism? in order to defend their friend Zelaya. Unfortunately, some authorities in the U.S. have fallen for that version, without really knowing what went on. Why is Obama siding with Chavez and Castro on this matter? I believe that, on the one hand, Obama is beginning to show his socialist tendencies, which were denounced during the American presidential campaign. On the other hand, Obama is letting himself be influenced by several presidents of Latin America, particularly Lula of Brazil, who is the real power behind the São Paulo Forum. Can Honduras be saved from Chavez? I think it can, but it requires the participation of all citizens, not only of Latin America, but of the U.S. as well. Honduras is facing tremendous pressures, and will not be able to bear them without the help of the world public opinion. Every article, every interview, in favor of the Honduran democracy helps to defend their institutions against Chavez’s assault.

POPSSC GOP reps to discuss impeaching philandering governor He needs to be impeached since he has refused to resign. It's sad that his fellow Party members have to do this. Now if only those in Washington would impeach those of more serious *crimes* such as fraud, tax evasion, conspiring with our enemies, unlawful use of taxpayers money, etc....

POPSLiars Unite in Support of Dictators Worldwide Once again our fearless leader has chosen to align himself with a dictatorial tyrant. Apparently there is not a Constitution Obama likes. He has no regard for our own constitution and has shown a total disrespect for the Constitution of Honduras. The rule of law is not high on Obama's list of disciplines. He much rather support anarchists and lawlessness. Or perhaps he sees a similar fate awaiting himself in the not too distant future. Perhaps it is time we start to consider impeachment proceedings for high crimes and misdemeanors?

POPSA U.S./U.N. Plot Against Anti-Communist Honduras One said, "I want to warmly thank you for your article supporting the real issue of constitutional impeachment on Manuel Zelaya Rosales." Later, this person informed me that "There is a march supporting President Micheletti and you don't see that on the media, the manifestation of the people in favor of what our institutions did is by far bigger than the mobs protesting violently against Zelaya's ouster." "Thanks for your support to the political situation in Honduras," another said. "Writers like yourself are what Hondurans needs to let the world know that what happened was an act to preserve the constitutional rights of the country." Another wrote, "I read your article and it's exactly what happened. If you could read the blog http://hondurancoup.blogspot.com/ it contains details of what moved our military and the other two branches of our government to act as they did. I surely hope you could make this public and somehow justice will overcome procedure.

POPSThe Love Party "For a state with an unemployment rate above 12 percent, that ranks 39th in public school performance, that last caper might not seem all that entertaining. But it did draw the attention and affection of right-wing commentators, who nudged Sanford right up the potential-contender ladder. The peculiar thing about the apologies was that Sanford seemed to be under the impression that his worst dereliction of duty involved womanizing. There are some larger lessons here. First of all, we may want to consider the possibility that the governor’s decision to reject the federal stimulus money was not a mighty stand against government spending but instead an early sign of total nuttiness. Before this search for a presidential nominee goes any further, I’m thinking it’s time for the Republicans to apologize for putting us through the Clinton impeachment. We seem to have pretty well established that sexual stone-throwing is a dangerous sport."

POPSTotal Hypocrisy! MoveOn.org Needs to Move On The place for this to end is in the current White House, and it's interesting that the Barack Obama administration is "now open to theoretical torture investigations," precisely when a majority of Americans backs Tea Party protests against Democratic big-goverment taxing and spending policies. MoveOn.org was formed in 1998 as a lobbying group to support President Bill Clinton against GOP investigations into his personal conduct and corruption. The organization "started by passing around a petition asking Congress to 'censure President Clinton and move on', as opposed to impeaching him." Justice, fairness, and human rights are not at issue here. A rank power grab by one of America's greatest domestic enablers of terror is. MoveOn.org needs to move on, for the sake of the country, if not for its own credibility, since it has very little of that worth preseriving.

POPSA Place For Holy Outrage "I know there are tons of people out there whose only exposure to Christianity are these voices the media reports. Mike tells me that over at the Friendly Atheist blog most of the atheists simply cannot accept that other sorts of Christianity even exist. To them the close-minded, sexist, racist, extremists they hear about on the news represent the whole of Christianity. It’s similar to how most of us, knowing nothing about Islam, choose to believe that the Taliban represents the whole of Islam. But I find it very interesting that when anyone attempts to stand up to one of these voices, we get criticized for being unholy, unloving, and unfaithful. Is the church truly the last place where the freedom to speak honestly and hold others accountable is denied? So I’m getting sick of the “just be a quiet witness” solutions — I think there needs to be a place for holy outrage. Perhaps not impeachment, but outrage nonetheless."

POPSRequest that Senator Arlen Specter resign from the Republican Party In addition to his support for the stimulus bill, Senator Specter has opposed the Republican Party on the following issues and more: - The troop surge in Iraq - The impeachment trial of President Clinton - Restoring habeas corpus for suspected terrorists - Lifting restrictions on stem cell research - A constitutional amendment banning gay marriage - "Card Check," a bill which would deny workers the right to a secret ballot regarding unionization - Pro-life, anti-abortion legislation Due to Senator Specter's repeated and harmful opposition to republican positions, it is necessary for the Republican National Committee to demand that Senator Specter resign his membership in the Republican Party.

POPSWill Obama Support Inquiry into Unconstitutional Bush Policies? ...or not? The Bush Memos are creating pressure. Answer: No, he will find a way not to or a distraction to avoid it (like war). Obama is covering for Bush instead of "defending the Constitution of the United States", as he swore (as did the Usurper, Bush, too). These CFR members and elite cover for each other (its in their secret oaths), just like Pelosi (also CFR) said "impeachment is off the table" as soon as Democrats had a majority (power) in Congress and could. The only way Obama would "support" this important Constitutional investigation is if he established an "independent commission" much like the phony 911 Commission to cover it all up, or bury it in legal mumbo jumbo. Time to remove the partisan blindfolds. If Obama does not support this then he is obstructing justice and aiding and abetting Bush's abuse of Executive power, and would also therefore be just as untrustworthy.

POPSWhere Are They Now: The Clinton Impeachment
Elected twice without ever achieving the majority of the popular vote, President Clinton become the only elected president in the history of the U.S. to be impeached, disbarred from practicing law, and accused of rape by a credible witness. As a chief beneficiary of President Reagan's world vision and the high technology boom of the 1990s, President Clinton enjoyed many of the benefits of residing over relative peace and prosperity. Beneath this thin veneer of economic prosperity, however, existed the most corrupt and scandalous administration in history. Consensual sex may be a private matter, but when a sexual relationship influences a public court case involving the President of the United States, the consensual sex becomes publicly relevant. The Clinton administration holds the all-time record for having the greatest number of associates who have: resigned under fire, pleaded the Fifth, fled the country, gone to jail, or died under mysterious circumstances.

POPSRepublicans Demand That Burris Resign From Senate We know that Obama rebuffed Blago’s attempts to get some quid pro quo, but by denying Blago the Obama people admit that they knew Blago was trying to sell the Senate seat. There has been nothing released to date to indicate that Obama and/or his people contacted federal authorities to report Blago’s illegal and unethical behavior, so is the Obama administration not just as guilty as Burris in essnetially being complicit in Blago’s crimes? Of course, but don’t expect Obama to take some responsibility. Or even be taken to task by the fawning press corps that follows him about.

POPSNow Can We Have Our Senate Election prior to Dec. 26, when he met with a Blagojevich attorney. In his new affidavit, he said he actually had spoken with three of the former governor’s close associates. Here’s another question for Reid, second-in-command Sen. Dick Durbin and other Democratic big shots: Are you going to sit there and take this? Will you expel Burris for darkening your door? Will you investigate it, or slip it under the rug? Just how wrong was the story that Burris told these guys? During Burris’ Jan. 8 testimony before the Illinois House impeachment committee, Burris admitted that he had expressed an interest in the Senate seat to Blagojevich’s former chief of staff Lon Monk. Asked pointedly at the hearing if he had met with Blagojevich’s brother, Robert, about the seat, Burris denied it. Now comes Burris with the admission that, oh yeah, Robert Blagojevich had phoned him three times, as early as October before Barack Obama was even elected president, about fund-raising.
