POPSWhere is Obama? It is much easier to talk to selectively talk to friends in the media, than to hold a full press conference. However, being open means talking to the entire press pool.

POPSThe Homeless and Snow For these unfortunates an insufferable blizzard can mean life or death. I happened across this video (never shown in our mainstream corporate media) and was taken aback that I never gave a thought to those who try to survive living on the street. It’s hard enough during clement weather for these people to find the means of survival but in harsh conditions many of them either die are become very ill. Seeing the homeless should make us all chant “There but for the grace of god goes I” because in a greedy capitalistic society we are all vulnerable to such a fate. In a corporate culture people have no value other than the purchase power they possess. If ever you lose that means, you become useless and invisible to those who hold the reigns over your destiny.

POPSHard to believe this is happening in American Universities Shameful and shocking. From a previous UCI intifada uprising: “…Our weapon, our jihad, our way of struggling in this country , is our tongue. We speak out, we deflate their morale, and it’s the best we can do right now…and our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world are handling business in their own way.”

POPSSen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) Embraces Communist Van Jones
For a time, Jones had been politically radioactive to Democrats but Gillibrand’s decision to work alongside him appears to bring Jones’s political exile to an end. Gillibrand, who had a reputation as a moderate Democrat before entering the U.S. Senate, has been steadily tacking to the left since being appointed to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so it’s no surprise that she is cozying up to her party’s radical left-wing. Gillibrand was one of only seven senators who voted against de-funding the radical leftist group ACORN known for its decades of involvement in election fraud. At the time she defended her vote, telling the New York Post through a spokesperson, “The truth remains that thousands of New York families who are facing foreclosure depend on charitable organizations like ACORN for assistance.” “Van Jones is a globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in the green jobs movement. He also happens to be a super fun speaker so this will be a very ....

POPSThe San Fransisco Green Police ...... while there are fines associated with noncompliance of the recycling and composting ordinance, fines are not expected to be handed out except in extreme cases. The potential for fines is meant to increase awareness and add a sense of urgency to the matter, but they will only be implemented after repeated notices and phone calls. Additionally, a moratorium on fines is in effect until 2011. See, it starts off as small fines to raise 'awareness'. As more and more people become complacent with recycling, more 'awareness' will need to be raised, by way of heftier fines. And the moratorium will be lifted because people just aren't aware enough, gosh darn it. Soon there will be a 'Green Police' out there inspecting the garbage to make sure that you didn't throw away any plastics that could be recycled. And people think social conservatives are bad. Out of all the commercials played during Superbowl 44, I thought this was the most disturbing.

POPSProudly Saying NO No, I do not want us to curb our natural resource exploration for the sake of the environmentalist lobbies. We need to find and utilize more reserves of oil, coal, and natural gas. No, I do not want the government telling me how or where to educate my child. No, I do not want the government involved in my personal health care. I can take care of myself. And I will take care of family and friends who need health assistance. No, I do not support killing fetuses, regardless of their stage of development. If we are not allowed life, then liberty and the pursuit of happiness are meaningless. No, I do not support the destruction of fetuses for scientific research, no matter how important a potential discovery may be. No, I do not want illegal aliens absorbing resources and influencing legislation designed for American citizens. Everyone is welcome in our home; just come in the front door. No, I do not want dictatorships to possess nuclear weapons. No, I do not want terro
