POPSDems stand with Freddy and Fannie during housing scandel IT appears there is not a shady deal Obama's party does not like. They seem to have their fingers in everything that is bad for America, and by inference good for themselves. I guess lining one's own pocket is the goal of government office holders and leading the pack is the Pelosi, Schumer white house. Obama is not stain free in this one either for apparently he was cozy with ACORN in Chicago. I do not know if it is just me but does it seem like all of Obama's major associations are implicated in some sort of nefarious activity? So much for change. Seems like business as usual to this old bird.

POPSHow Not to Run a Government People are dying by the thousands in Burma and all the government can think of is protecting itself from a hostile people demanding change. I am praying for that very uprising to take place and this self-serving junta military government gets sent packing. I am sure these rulers are getting three squares a day and then some.

POPSThomas Jefferson's Warning "As this power passes from each individual to a central governing power, individual freedom and liberty is snuffed out, replaced with an arbitrary economic equality as defined, confiscated via progressive taxation and redistributed by those who seek the political power to rule over the lives of others." Serfdom

POPSHow Government Regulation effects oil prices at the pump
As is usually the case with government intervention into private enterprise the unexpected results are usually far worse than the original problem congress set out to solve. Doesn't anybody study history anymore? It was not that long ago that the same ideas were floating around congress during the Carter years. Anyone remember the odd even gas days and the long lines at the pumps because of the government forced oil shortages of the 70's Among other mistakes from that period, the government increased the taxes levied on domestic oil producers, as if that would somehow help. The result was “reduced domestic oil production from between 3 and 6 percent, and increased oil imports from between 8 and 16 percent.” The government also instituted price controls, which only served to create the notorious gas shortages of that era. Yes, price controls meant consumers could get cheaper gas — but only after waiting in long gas lines and only if stations didn’t run out first.

POPSAgainst Law to Homeschool Well once again the government of the people by the people and for the people seems to be giving it to the people. I do not know how the public education system got so out of control in this country but I think it is about time we the people started to take back control of the things that matter in our society, starting with the education of our children.

POPSJune 9th 1943, Congress introduces public to tax withholding. Emergency measure to pay for the war. Well like anything else that originates in Congress we are still paying for the 1943 war. Like everything else that brings money into the federal government this will never disappear. Perhaps we need to elect another Andrew Jackson as President! One who sees the evil of excessive taxation on a free market society. What are the chances?

POPSWhere our Tax Money Really Goes Once every taxpayers comes to grips with were our tax money really goes perhaps then and only then will the populace be able to pick leaders who are serious about our future. Taxing the rich to GIVE MONEY AWAY to those who do not work, refuse to work, are not able to work, or just feel they earned a hand out is not what government was set up to do. All this talk about cutting defense spending is only a smoke screen to keep our focus off of the REAL BUDGET sucker. Listen closely for that big sucking sound you hear coming from Washington is the sound of your hard earned money being sucked out of your pocket right into the pocket of someone who is not working.

POPSGov Needs to Take 3 Trillion dollars from US this year! HOLD ON TIGHTER to your wallets ladies and gentlemen the government has just told us HOW MUCH MONEY they are going to take from us. 3 trillion dollars. Now that is a lot of hamburgers. That is more than it would cost to buy a small country. HELL we could have bought IRAQ for that money. This is insane. If the government had to EARN that much money I wonder what the budget would look like then?

POPSTo Smoke or Not to Smoke that is the question Once again we see how the government only makes matters worse. By passing this stupid law and then allowing certain exceptions they are only opening the door to more lawsuits and challenges to this stupid law. You can not legislate good behavior all you do is punish those who do know how to act rightly and making their lives even worse. If smoking is so bad BAN THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF IT. But if it is legal to buy then it has to be legal to possess and use.
