POPSThese Videos May Cure Your Ignorance About A Few Things... Open Your Mind Sheeple These Videos May Cure Your Ignorance About A Few Things... Open Your Mind Sheeple ! This is a partial excerpt of videos that all Americans should watch just to balance out what you are being fed by the major news networks and GOP produced propaganda machines. We are not discussing anything new. This is not about 'conspiracy'. It is about YOU becoming informed so you can make better decisions FOR YOURSELF instead of being told what to think by our so called 'mainstream media' According to reputable international news watchers the U.S. used to be in the Top Ten of 'free press' ratings in the world. Now, we are something like Number 30 on the list of countries with 'free media' reporting. That statistic by itself should prompt your mind to question why our five major multi-billion dollar news media conglomerates (who control some 80% of all newsprint, broadcast, cable and electronic

POPSRudy's Guru Slapped Down By Jackie O This is just a light, silly story about the master of neo-con evil, Norman Podhoretz. It's just a fun read and nothing terribly important except for a knowing giggle.

POPSObserving Rudy G. Rudolph Giuliani cleverly understands that the best way to appeal to the Republican base is with militarism rather than morality. Says Glenn Greenwald: "Giuliani's talent for expressing prosecutor-like righteous anger towards 'bad people' – as well as his well-honed ability to communicate base-pleasing rhetoric towards Islamic extremists – is underappreciated. I don't think any candidate will be able to compete with his ability to convey a genuine hard-line against Middle Eastern Muslims and that is the issue that – admittedly with some exceptions – dominates the Christian conservative agenda more than gay marriage and abortion (concerns which he can and will minimize by promising to appoint more Antonin Scalias and Sam Alitos to the Supreme Court, something he emphasized... in a highly amicable interview with Sean Hannity).

POPSHow the Neocon-Christian Right Alliance Brought Down the House of Bush C. UNGER: I traveled undercover with Tim LeHay, who is the prophet of the "Left Behind" series. I traveled with him to the battlefield of Armageddon, where they believe the final conflict would take place. Megiddo is -- from Megiddo, we get the term Armageddon, where the final conflict will take place. And I was walking up the hill with LeHay and about ninety of his followers, and as you look over this spectacularly beautiful pastoral valley . They see that it will be filled with blood, the blood of as many as two billion people. And I talked with them about that, and they say there will be a river of blood, 200 miles long, about four-and-a-half feet deep. And I asked one of them when all this would take place. And they said, “Very soon, but not soon enough. Any day now.” So they see this fantasy is taking place, and this is sort of one of the horrific visions that is spelled out in the Book of Revelation.

POPSHeat Or Eat? So the choice for many poor will be between sick children, starving or freezing to death?? Oh well, no worries. America will take it all in it's stride. The poor can always just wrap themselves in the flag to keep warm. Or they can join the military! They say it's really hot over there in the desert. In any case, not to worry. If America is going down, at least it will be doing it in a blaze of *glory*. Now, where were we? Oh yeah ... "Support the troops". Yay. :(

POPSChomsky - Options On The Table "There are many non-military measures to "contain" Iran, including a de-escalation of rhetoric and hysteria all around, and agreeing to negotiations in earnest for the first time — if indeed all options are on the table."

POPS'Wild-Eyed’ Bush Thumped Chest: ‘I Am The President!’ Is this a joke?? (We all know Bush is a joke, it's the article I mean.) He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of “our country’s destiny.” And that destiny would be what? Economic collapse? Endless wars? Dictatorship? Fascism? Land of the not-so-Free? World War lll? Give us a clue, Mr Boosh! Too many choices!

POPSRumsfeld ‘Failed the Nation’ They must be held accountable. If they are allowed to get away with the atrocities they have committed, others will be ready to follow in their footsteps. These *people* have violated everything decent and honourable we are supposed to stand for. We are supposed to be the "good guys". They simply can't be allowed to get away with it.

POPSOsama Bin Laden - Messages To The World Who exactly is it, that is emboldening the enemy? Who is the greatest threat to our rights and liberties and freedom? Bin Laden or BushCo? It has been stated, that we have given up, or let be taken away without a peep or a protest, more freedom than the terrorists ever could have achieved on their own. I tend to agree. Seems to me, so does Bin Laden. Thanks Mr Bush! With *friends* like you, who needs enemies? .;)

POPSExaggerating Al-Qaeda's Threat Does anyone really still believe, that they hate us for our freedom? I think they just want a little bit of freedom for themselves too! If we're ever gonna get out of this so-called "War on Terror", perhaps we should rethink why we're waging it in the first place. (Is it "War on Terror" or War of Terror? Never can remember... oh well, same difference.) Is the *war* more about Big Bad USA than Big Bad Bin Laden? Hmm...I offer up just one word; PNAC

POPSLessons in Political Suicide "...unfortunate truth of the matter is that they're willing to play hardball on a tiny number of issues, and to give ground more or less everywhere else..." Sadly, this is too true. I would argue, however, that this stems more from the shared addiction to big government found in both neoconservatism and modern liberalism, than from a genteelness within the White House. The long term ends of public policies are not so different -- even if their short term ends seem opposed -- when the means by which those polices are implemented nearly identical. That is why modern liberalism and neoconservatism can so easily accommodate one another. When you both agree that big government is the answer, the only question left is who runs the show.

POPSIs Bush good for American Conservatism? On the fence myself, but I lean to the Bottum side of the debate. Big government "conservatism" (neoconservatism) may be a lesser evil when compared to big government liberalism, but lets not forget that acclimation to neoconservatism makes modern liberalism all the more palatable. We all know the folk wisdom of boiling a frog. Put him in a hot pot and he'll jump out. But him in a cool pot then bring it to a boil, and he'll happily stew until frog soup is ready.
