POPSDemocrat House "Apologizes" for Slavery This is but another stupid liberal attempt to pander to blacks for their vote this November. The trouble is, the United States Government had nothing to do with "forcing Africans into slavery". In fact it was Arab slave traders who did that. And it was the United States government who went to war to abolish slavery. This government doesn't owe negros an apology. It is the negros who owe gratitude to the United States for the bounty and opportunity afforded them. Another proof that liberals are unfit to run our magnificent country.

POPS"As Anyone Should Apologize"--Finally an Apology for Slavery
This has been long overdue, too long. But it is finally here: an apology for slavery and the Jim Crow laws. This apology should be non-controversial. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is lost by making the apology and something important can be gained: namely, the good will and sense of relief for those who have labored a long time to make the apology happen and those African American parents who can now tell there children that slavery was a great wrong the USA perpetrated against their ancestors but the USA realized it and apologized for it. In the words of the apologies principal sponsor, Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen: "Slavery and Jim Crow are stains upon what is the greatest nation on the face of the earth," Cohen said. Part of forming a more perfect union, he said, "is such a resolution as we have before us today where we face up to our mistakes and apologize as anyone should apologize for things that were done in the past that were wrong." " s anyone should apolog

POPSThe drum beat of idiocy... Capt Fogg nails it again: patriotism trumps any type of reason in our (right wing) politics... Will anyone actually listen to what the candidates has to say on the issues? Or is it all decided based on imagery...

POPSDo US Internment Camps Really Exist? The really big question is which one of us reading this will be interned in one of these camps? Considering the size and scope of the ones we know about, compared with the already 1 in 100 prison population we currently have, you have to imagine that the near future will see a much higher ratio. Can you imagine 1 in every 50 citizens in a camp or prison? Hell, even 1 in 75 would be astounding. With a ratio that high you can be assured you are someone you know will be classified an "Enemy Combatant." Also, since REX 84 handed us over to NORTHCOM, we no longer have any sovereignty any way. It's all very frightening when you start questioning the reasons behind this sort of wholesale US sell out.

POPSIsrael’s Ambassador to the UK and his deception Can anyone see just how sick these people are? I can only imagine some muthafucka with swastikas on his sleeve telling me that I'm anti-german or anti-nazi just because I tell him his ideology is evil. Well no shit Sherlock. I don't take kindly to anyone who is racist and who treats others like the scum of the earth purely because of the parents to whom they were born. That is Israel's perennial crime. Then this society of mass-murderers, swindlers & thieves want to turn around and pretend that it couldn't possibly be their deeds that people find detestible. It must be because normall good people just wake up one morning and decide to hate. I wish the Jews with conscience would stand the fuck up because what those filthy bastards who run the Israel show and their fanatical supporters are doing in the name of all Jews is THE BIGGEST crime ever perpetrated against Jews.

POPSCrouching in a corner, covered with a sheet for hours - tragic! Your tax dollars at work: Most evidence against so-called "20th hijacker" comes from torture-induced statements. He appears to have lost his mind at the hands of his torturers; no case against him has ever been made; his internment continues indefinitely. It's the Spanish inquisition, by medieval American government. We'll never know if he's guilty or not, just that he was hurt badly enough to confess before he became too crushed to face trial. This is as completely criminal as 9/11 itself.

POPSImprisoned at Birth - Tough Choices in Tough Times On February 19, 1942, soon after the beginning of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The evacuation order commenced the round-up of 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage to one of 10 internment camps—officially called "relocation centers"—in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/internment1.html

POPSPolitican Cartoons "The United States, some years back, found its new bogeyman "Islam" to replace its former imaginary enemy "Communism." And now the European press appears to have finally (?) found a replacement for the Jewish people that they used to malign and attack. Anti-Islam/Muslimism appears to now have officially replaced anti-Jewish sentiments in Europe. The roots of these attacks are the same: an inability to acknowledge and respect a diversity of people that might result in a Europe that is non-White and/or non-Christian. The anti-Muslim/Islam cartoons of today are little different than the anti-Jewish cartoons that were published by the Nazis during WW II."

POPS"Empire of the Sun" author talks about the film "I was deeply moved by the film but, like every novelist, couldn't help feeling that my memories had been hijacked by someone else's. As the battle of Britain fighter ace Douglas Bader said when introduced to the cast of Reach for the Sky: "But they're actors." "Actors of another kind play out our memories, performing on a stage inside our heads whenever we think of childhood, our first day at school, courtship and marriage. The longer we live - and it's now 60 years since I reluctantly walked out of Lunghua camp - the more our repertory company emerges from the shadows and moves to the front of the stage. Spielberg's film seems more truthful as the years pass. Christian Bale and John Malkovich join hands by the footlights with my real parents and my younger self, with the Japanese soldiers and American pilots, as a boy runs forever across a peaceful lawn towards the coming war. But perhaps, in the end, it's all only a movie."
