POPSGrandpa McCain Don't Like Them Atheists! Promulgating the idea of bigoted, separatist thought seems to take up a lot of the energies of the Republicans these days. Of course this has been their bread and butter issue for years. Give us someone to hate and forget about the real issues that plague the common man. They're the first to cry foul over class issues but they certainly have no qualms about using them to instill fear and prejudice if it suits their corporate aims.

POPSPredictable Huckabee Win Frankly, I'm not surprised in the least. The state that tried to set back the teaching of biology 150 years has given a rousing endorsement to the most biblical candidate in quite a while. How does commander and preacher sound? The inauguration should be fun. I'm all set to watch Dino, the Jesus Horse, leading the parade down Pennsylvania Ave.

POPSThose Wacky Afghans The plaintiff's brother characterized this as "very unfair"? How about 12th Century barbaric? And make no mistake about it, there is a segment of the fundamentalists movement here in the states that would like nothing better than to institute Biblical law in the US. Get your stones ready. Read up on the latest statutes. Let the rocks fly.

POPSAmerica is Hungry for Change The number of Democrats turning out is certainly impressive. And while the Dems opted for change it seems the Republicans are satisfied with the status quo. Keep appealing to that neo-con base during elections and generally ignore them the rest of the year. It seems everyone except the neo-cons are laughing at the naked emperor.

POPSHmm, Astrology or Astronomy? I seem to recall a certain president mouthing these same sentiments. I suspect history may show him to be at least one of the most ignorant people to hold such important office.

POPSWall Street Journal Ignorant of Torture I found one comment hard to swallow here. The assertion that "Congress could have outlawed the practice at any time". I was under the impression that we already have laws outlawing torture. Again, the real issue is not addressed. The real issue being the possible prosecution of people who take part in or order torture. Bush and cronies are aware of the perils of braking existing laws and want nothing more than to cover their asses after they leave office.

POPSThe Insane Emperor Spews Forth Again How can the leader of the most powerful country in the world be such an idiot? He disgusts me every day. The last line of the above clip is odd. I would think that most rational people, not only human rights groups, would think waterboarding is torture. We prosecuted the Japanese after WWII for it.

POPSChristian Double Standard True to form, Christians seem to be all in favor of religious non-discrimination as long as it's non-discrimination towards Christians only.

POPSRepublican's Candidates Not Godly Enough Republicans are in a mess. Their base, increasingly becoming less relevent every day have no one to hang their hat on who seems viable for the 2008 election. A third party candidate might just be the death knell for the Republicans.

POPSGod Defined Now we know! God is a Conservative Republican. The above clip is positive proof that it is true. Richard Roberts spoke with God. It has to be true. I believe! Hallelujah!

POPSRepublicans acting like Republicans Conservatives, finding themselves in a morally dubious position, do what they do best. They slander the opposition. They lie, exaggerate, and mislead. Anything to keep the spotlight away from the issues which they are unable to defend. It seems they have no defense for greed, corruption, lack of empathy, and cold-heartedness. What a caricature they have become.

POPSRead the Constitution I hate to say this but I believe McCain has gone off the deep end. His comments recently have been more and more divorced from reality. As far as Christian Nationalists go maybe they should try reading the Constitution and the Treaty of Tripoli. Read in concert these documents leave little to the imagination on which to hang their God hats. Naturally, they can still put their God hats on. They just can't use the Religious Police to force others to wear the aforementioned head gear.

POPSGodless Radio Hurrah! Godless heathens on the radio. By the comments of the Conservative radio pundits it makes me wonder what they fear? After all, there are 87 billion religious radio programs and 1 atheist. Makes me want to scratch my head. And you have to love the equating of liberalism with atheism. The author has managed to neatly wrap up all liberals as being godless, demon controlled communist. Hello 1950's.

POPSTroubling Revelation This is my first exposure to this story. I must admit that I find it deeply disturbing. If the facts are as presented then this bears further looking into.

POPSCreationist Idiots The lunacy of Creationism has crept over the pond and is now infecting European society. Worldwide vigilence is called for so this return to Middle Ages mentality can be ridiculed and then promptly forgotten. What a joke these people are!

POPSEpiscopals and Gays Perhaps Episcopals might take a hint from Ahmadinejad and simple state there are no gays in the Episcopal church. Problem solved!

POPSRepublicans on the Spot Why don't the Republicans simply treat minorities in the same manner they treat Right Winger Christians? Kiss their ass in public and deride them in private. It works for their base.

POPSReligous Creationists The author asks an interesting question. He also implies by his question a concern for the entanglement of religion and politics.

POPSCommon Sense Over Dogma Why should particular religions expect others to obey their rules? Should a Jew protest a Baptist eating a ham sandwich? These people were on "public" transportation. How much should their particular religious dogma affect others? I think none at all.

POPSRon Paul and Christian Natiionalists Ron Paul has attracted an almost cult following with people tired of the christian right's control of the Republicans. A closer examination may be in order though.

POPSHeathens Force Senators to Convert Well, it seems that Hindus have overtaken our "Christian Country" and invaded the Senate. Where was homeland security? Why wasn't Bush there wearing his signature codpiece to vanquish the heathens and declare mission accomplished. OH, I'm so disappointed.

POPSTiming is Everything - According to DeLay It may be trite to say this but "you just can't make this stuff up". Apparently there's justification, according to DeLay, for having your adultery planned in advance before you embark on a mission to impeach the president for similar "crimes".

POPSGonzales Better Watch Out I wonder why this smacks so much of: "You've done a heckuva job, Brownie." Gonzales better polish his resumes. How can Bush take what he perceives as loyalty to such absurd lengths?

POPSCarter on Bush Carter is not saying anything that a great number of people don't already know. But then George seems to be the last to find out these things. Bush's spokespersons comment on Carter do seem to be a bit of projection by this lame duck. Talk about irrelevant...

POPSRepubs Stumble Along Another article about the repub's attempt by 10 old white guys to convince America that their brand of fear mongering is best for the country. Read the entire piece for the full effect. Kaplan nails it dead on.

POPSTPM Cafe Gets it Right Don Q of TPM hits the nail on the head. He correctly contrasts two religious Georgians and their radically different views on religion versus the State. On the one hand (Newt) we have an opportunist hypocrit eyeing a run for the presidency druming up support from his base. On the other hand we have the failed president, Carter, who while not achieving the political popularity of Gingrich appears to better personify in his present day deeds the ideals of Christianity supporting the Separation of Church and State.

POPSMore Christian Right Lies Newt spews forth lies of Christian persecution to Liberty U graduates. And after being indoctrinated for 4 years they apparently eat it up. Gullibility, it seems, is much easier to teach than rational thought.

POPSGiuliani displays ignorance Rudy's reply is interesting considering Paul's info is mirrored in the 911 Report The corporate press failed to report this little fact.
