POPSRuffling Floridian's Feathers Predictably, seeing something like this angers many in the conservative state of Florida. If you're not Christian (and fundamentalist) you're definitly in the minority in Florida, particularly in the central portion where this is located. Notice the reporters telling phraseology. "...a billboard asking a provocative question...". Actually the question is not provocative at all. It is addressed directly to people who have doubtsd concerning their faith and could in fact feel comforted by knowing that there are others who share their viewpoint.

POPS Hunt For 9.11 Killers Finds Trail In Pakistan
where his trail was just picked up by the Pakistan forces clearing out the hornet’s nest that is South Waziristan Agency: The suspected 9/11 plotter whose German passport was found in a mud hut in western Pakistan this week has not been in touch with his family for two years, his mother, Anneliese Bahaji, said in an telephone interview Friday. The Pakistani military said it found his German passport five days ago in a mud hut in the village of Sherwangai in South Waziristan, during a search operation. To me this is a good sign that Pakistan, US, NATO, Afghan forces are circling the last remnants of the al Qaeda brain trust and that we may finally get our hands on some long sought targets. Since being pushed out of Afghanistan, it has been my contention al Qaeda has been holed up in the tribal areas of Pakistan. This evidence, however, is a clear indication we may be marching to the big nest of bad guys. The violent responses in Pakistan to the military actions indicate we

POPSAgain, with the persecution? Once again we're presented a picture of people believing that their overwhelming majority faith is somehow being persecuted. In fact, what the whining is all about is the erosion of Christian privilege above all other faiths or non-belief. These sheep simply don't grasp the concept of a secular government actually being a benefit to their belief system. Instead they view it as an attack against their religion. Naturally, these attitudes are being advanced by a media subset that is reaping an enormous financial gain by manipulating these rubes with false claims of losing their freedoms and being persecuted by a non-existent, frightening subculture bent on destroying their faith. There's a fool born every minute.

POPSCulture of Terror: the Collapse of America ~ I
This great betrayal has taken our “progressive” culture, with “the giant” of applied science lurking over everyone’s sense of the possible and turned it to fatalism. These betrayals have led to “multiculturalism” and the balkanization both of nations, and families, the better to centralize power and to scramble all states into a World “Commonwealth” where power, control and resources are monopolized by an oligarchy; those closer to the labyrinth’s center having greater amounts of all material and social perks and greater immunity from “law.” The dogma of “relativism,” gussied up as “situational ethics” means in effect that the law is the will of those with most power and that reason is an instrument of will and thus of appetites; that the rationales of this new State are thus insane, acts of wanton atrocity, to quote Melville in the epigraph. This deification of the will is a radical subversion of the principles of law, justice and righteousness, as well as charity rooted in Scri

POPSWomen Under Islamic Rule Malaysia is a country under Islamic law, meaning a country that grants full human rights to its citizens provided they have a penis. Are Malaysian men so violent and sex obsessed that they must employ harsh, punitive laws to women because they can't take personal responsible for themselves? Apparently so. Some people may attempt to defend this practice as cultural and who are we to meddle into other's cultures. Hogwash! The denial of basic freedoms based on outmoded theistic tenets is wrong. Humans, of either sex, ought to receive equal treatment under the law. That is a moral imperative.

POPSPope Points to Saints who Conquered 'Hell on Earth' of Nazi Camps 5 Comments So, why does the wealth of the Vatican need the protection of a secular state? The Catholic Church has always been in love with power Ironic........Pope during ww2 turned a blind eye to the horrors of nazi germany and holocaust. I swear I remember reading from multiple source including his own autobiography that the current pope was in Hitlers youth brigade and luftwaffe (Air Force) as an assistant something or other.

POPSHispanic Woman Confirmed to U.S. Supreme Court It's great to see so many aspects of our USA government, even hard-to-change institutions like the courts, start to reflect more accurate the composite of the country....a multicultural, secular nation. It makes us much stronger. Prejudice, discrimination, racial hatred are a real drag on a society, holding it back, pulling it down.

POPSDogging Lloyd Doggett: 'Just Say No' to Obamacare! But as Phillip Klein indicates: The liberal effort to discredit American citizens who are expressing their views on an issue of vital importance is completely without merit, but it is instructive. It tells us that liberals know that despite their tremendous advantages in terms of resources and power in Washington, they are losing the health care messaging war. It’s becoming clear that Americans are not ready for a government takeover of the health care system, and they aren’t going to sit by idly while Democrats ram it down their throats. Congressman Doggett Urges Return to Fiscal Responsibility Official Government website On the House floor, I urged my colleagues to support the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act. This bill is an important step to restore the kind of fiscal discipline abandoned in 2002. If we have any hope to invest in the vital priorities that are critical to our economic future, including health care, education, and clean energy policies,

POPSReligion: Punishment Wins Every Time At its most basic, religion teaches a black/white view of reality. Good/bad, righteous/sinful, us/them, religious/atheist. And least we forget, heaven/hell. And make no mistake, punishment is a major component of the mix. In fact, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with all the smiting going on in their various holy books. Is it no wonder that a person who was evicted from an anger management class would be deeply influenced by the punishment aspects of religion? Yes, we must assume responsibility for our actions but in the case of religion to be punished for eternity is not only irrational but arguably sadistic and insane.
