POPSObama calls for rebates for consumers...to be more energy efficient I can tell you from experience. We have added a new roof, new insulation, new 'energy-efficient' windows, lowered our thermostat....with zero results. During the hot months of July-Sept and the cold months of Dec- Feb. our utility bills are still near $400. a month. No matter what *they* say, our energy bills will never go down unless we cut our utilities OFF!!! The more we conserve, the more revenue they lose so the more they raise the rates. It's that simple.

POPSBoxer: Cover Viagra? Then cover abortion This woman is an idiot but she's trying to help her cause. While I don't support coverage for Viagra (no way!!!) at least it doesn't kill babies. Is there a sane person in Congress?

POPSThe Teachers' Unions that Stole Christmas But I remember reading where a professor received a grant to study volcanic activity in S. America under the Stimulus Bill. It makes sense that the NEA and teachers' unions would not support anything that would send children to private schools. The public education system is in such rapid decline that no thinking person wants their child there and no politician or wealthy person who can afford a private school would do otherwise. And the public schools that DO have some good teachers are losing them because of the stress and work load.

POPSCalifornia doping our youths I have never seen an ADHD child. Undisciplined, troubled, neglected...yes. 90% of children's problems go back to parenting or lack thereof. I may be wrong but something seems very, very wrong with This.

POPSDems cut Medicare Home Health Services to fund uninsured This will definitely effect me and my household. For 20+ yrs. I have cared for my elderly family members. With my MIL she could afford to have someone come in and help me and sit with her while I ran errands or took a break. She had Home Health Care aids from the hospital (paid partially by Medicare) come several times to check on her and help with bed sores. My Dad had to be in a nursing home and Medicare helped. My Mom is now with me and I depend on the CNA's and Eldercare Services to help me with bathing. The beds, wheelchairs, etc....were affordable with the Medicare coverage. My Mom will also lose her Medicare Advantage. So...what are we to do with our elderly? If Mr. Baucus' mother is receiving benefits from Medicare and other government services, then shame on him. On their salaries, surely they can afford to take care of their own parents.

POPSFederal workshop on openness closed to the public Every day I wake up to some new *amazement* that comes out of Washington. Openness indeed. It's easier for party-crashers to get past the SS service than to know what's going on behind closed doors within this WH and Congress.

POPSSenators cheer touchdowns during healthcare negotiations
Aren't we all encouraged by the serious, dedicated, bi-partisan, transparent work being done by our *representatives* in Washington?? However, I believe they were surely watching the wrong sport. I guess it's not basketball season when their thoughts would be more in tuned to a 'slam-dunk' against the American peoples' wishes regarding their HealthCare bill. I watched Durbin today hammer against the American Insurance companies saying that the Government could offer the citizens a much more fair and balanced option for their health care. His main concern seemed to be the private insurances and drug company's profits. So this really is about a full-frontal attack on the free-market system, capitalism, and our choice as to who we want to entrust our insurance/health care coverage to. While they party and watch a football game during their 'negotiating session', you & I get to worry about what they are going to do to us through the ramifications of this horrible bill that they in

POPSRetired Nave SEAL questions Nation's Priorites I don't believe the "Nation" questions this. I think that the anti-American Left and the anti-war, anti-Bush proponents have made this an issue. Who will fight or stand for American interests when they risk criminal prosecution? This doesn't even rise to the level of Abu Ghraib ...which in my opinion was not news-worthy, just dumb.

POPSFed rule halts red snapper fishing Oh well. How many jobs is this going to cut? I know....they'll hire the fishermen to be Federal officers patrolling the seas to catch those fish-violators. And can you imagine the price of one that makes it to the restaurant or supermarket? Will this help the fishing economy on the Left Coast? Wish the Feds would do something about the Chinese sucking oil from under our waters via Cuba.

POPSBullock: A blessing to meet, portray a real Christian I'm not a movie-goer but I've heard good things about this one. Plus I'm glad that the actress actually spent time with the person she was going to portray. I'm sorry that most of us are not good *witnesses* for Christ but willing hearts want to learn, grow, and serve others in our own God-enabled ways. Apparently Leigh Anne Tupohy gave the Gospel and didn't necessarily need to use words. :~)

POPS'Iranian terror network in S. America I'm telling ya'; they're moving in, moving out and gaining some serious control and influence. All the while those in Washington focus on pushing a horrible Health Care Bill on us, throw billions at busted businesses, useless pork programs, foreign aid and down the empty hole called the UN.

POPSObama to Terrorists: You Win in 2011 The article's title says it all to me. I hope this is my last article about this matter. As someone pointed out....he's failed to meet deadlines he's set before; maybe he'll wisen up and miss this one too.

POPSTroops, Families Mixed Over Obama's War Plan I think most of the military (and most Americans) share the thinking of Mr.Thomas. What is the man doing??...telling the enemy when the fight will be over? Just dumb and completely naive; but then, that's what we've come to expect from this CIC.

POPSMatthews on West Point: CIC goes to "enemy camp" tonight... Sadly I believe Chris Matthews is right. Obama is no friend to the military. Why would he even go there? This is the training center for the future military leaders of our National Defense. Those who go there are dedicated to the protection of our Country and the defeat of all enemies, both foreign and domestic. With his tepid response to the efforts in Afghanistan, his wimpish behavior towards Iran, the do-nothing approach to N. Korea, and the bankrupting of our economy...not to mention his habit of apologizing every where he goes ..... I sense that West Point isn't the only place that could be considered the "enemy camp".

POPSObama Will Bankrupt America The Numbers. What a depressing and alarming read! And yet there is no stopping him. That being said, Congress is equally responsible.

POPSBest Microscopic-life Images of 2009 OK. Tell me, again, that this all just evolved and that there is not an amazingly powerful Creator behind each and every existing creature and formation. All of it didn't 'amplify'...my fault...but the world of the microscopic is as amazing as the vastness of the universe.

POPSDesiree not losing WH gig I really don't care. Like most everything that comes out of this WH the entire episode was full of ineptness. I just hope no SS person gets thrown under the bus to placate the situation so that the WH appears to be concerned. It indeed appears to be one big party time going on there. As one person suggested.... there's very little thought to the repercussions that could have resulted if these weren't just silly socialites.

POPSDe-Fund Holder's Manhattan Transfer FTA: "No turbaned genie ever appeared out of Aladdin’s lamp to grant three greater wishes than these. KSM to Genie: One, I want to exploit my status as mass-murdering terrorist; Two, I want to inflict even greater pain and suffering on the families of those thousands whom I’ve murdered; Three, I want to make my trial a magnet for my brother jihadists throughout the world." This will make OJ's trial look like a Student Council meeting.

POPSRasmussen: 71% angry at federal government As well they should be. I think the under-30 percentage is a reflection that most younger people are busy thinking about other things rather than what is going on in Washington. And I hope the anger at the incumbents is correct. There is not a handful of them who has earned their salary and/or perks. It's time to pop their bubble.

POPS10 Reasons Nuclear Iran is No Joke One is enough. While the World is busily playing word-games, Iran (and it's allies) are bursting forward with their nuclear weapons growth and spreading their influence around the globe. They're not even pretending anymore...they're telling the wold, flat-out, that they are seeking domination! I'm convinced that if tiny Israel takes the Shot, the rest of the so-called free world will line itself up *behind* Israel. Surely, in whatever reality they possess in their minds, they know that Iran is the biggest threat to peace. And when Iran moves, it's going to be huge.

POPSSomali pirates hijack US-bound tanker, the Maran Centaurus Do we have a Thomas Jefferson among us? And how about those patrols and drones actually DO something? Millions of dollars in oil (what's $$ to Obama)? The environmental concerns?? How about the lawlessness and extortion of peaceful commerce in the region? Oh...and the UN "is too busy fighting the Islamist insurgency" to bother with piracy? yeah, sure. :~(

POPSIran restructuring its naval forces Are we ready?? Or are we too distracted by football, Christmas, etc.... Our enemies don't care what we're interested in or distracted by. They are on the move.

POPSJustice Dept. Says ACORN Can Be Paid A-Mazing!!!! Total and complete conflict among themselves; and the parsing of the words "provided to". "Since there are two possible ways to construe the term “provided to,” Mr. Barron wrote, it makes sense to pick the interpretation that allows the government to avoid breaching contracts." (they're spreading the corruption all around)

POPSWe Ain't Seen Nothing Yet FTA: "Next year’s tax hikes will be real and large..". " As these storm clouds gather, Congress bickers on Saturday nights about borrowing even more money for health-care reform, yet another federal entitlement." Are you ready for 2010??? (sigh)
