POPSACORN Baltimore Prostitution Investigation Part I
Chaos for Glory by James O'Keefe A famous community organizer once said, “The only way to upset the power structure in your communities is to goad them, confuse them, irritate them and, most of all, make them live by their own rules. If you make them live by their own rules, you destroy them.” Impossible demands can irritate modern leftists in ways nothing else can, whether it’s by banning Lucky Charms cereal because it’s racist against Irish People, calling Planned Parenthood saying you want to donate money for black abortions in the name of Margaret Sanger, or making Sen. Snowe sign an oversized bailout check for a billion dollars to Amtrak, in her own office. view Part II @http://biggovernment.com/ OR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNYU9PamIZk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbiggovernment.com%2F&feature=player_embedded The scenario we posed the ACORN Housing employees in Baltimore is due to the application of similar power tactics. We gave ACORN a taste of its own medicine.

POPSMarch For Islam, YES To Shariah, NO To Geert Wilders! Choudary was given the green light yesterday despite a previous demonstration in which some of his supporters chanted: “Bomb the UK”. Publicity for the march, in the East End, carries 41-year-old Choudary’s personal mobile number and says the aim of the campaign is to “emulate the Prophet and his companions, by calling for Islam and speaking out against the oppression of man-made law”. It says that Britain is full of “disbelievers” who are involved in prostitution, gambling, alcoholism and worshipping other gods.

POPSMoses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom From Q and A with the author (first clip link): Q: What message does Moses impart? Three values lessons can be gleaned from the book. Freedom is a God-given right. God is always with us. And we should always be free to dream. Harriet Tubman’s role in the freedom struggle can give readers a sense of their own potential and power. "Every great dream begins with a dreamer," said Tubman. "Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."

POPSCultural Education My daughter's kindergarten class had a party with popcorn and punch as they watched the Inauguration on tv. I was really happy that they let them watch and encouraged them to be excited about our political process. My daughter asked me if we have ever had a woman as President and when I said no, she asked if a woman could be President. Then she wanted to know if she (as a kid) could vote. I don't want to waste an opportunity to encourage her interest. I think her school is doing a good job. Her description of MLK was terrific. "He was a man that changed things to make it fair for everyone."

POPSThis Thanksgiving thank Sarah Hale To Sarah Hale Thanksgiving would be a therapeutic holiday. "There is a deep moral influence in these periodical seasons of rejoicing, in which whole communities participate. They bring out . . . the best sympathies in our natures." Hale saw this spiritual dimension of Thanksgiving as a means for preventing the insanity of civil war in America.

POPSRosenberg on Glenn Beck ROSENBERG: I’m not saying that we are definitely going to see the total fulfillment of the Ezekiel 38 and 39 prophecy in our lifetime. GLENN: But you are not not saying it, either. ROSENBERG: You couldn’t rule it out based on the trajectory which seems to be accelerating. Look at it. That Bible prophecy that we’re talking about, Glenn, talks about Russia coming from the north with its allies to attack Israel. Now, take out a map. Go to Moscow. Go straight south and before you get to Israel, where do you drive right through? Georgia. Transcript.

POPSIran's parallel judicial system From source: This is true even if the killer mistakenly identified the victim as corrupt. In that case, the law requires "blood money" to be paid to the family. Every year in Iran, a senior cleric determines the amount of blood money required in such cases. This year it is $40,000 if the victim is a Muslim man, and half that for a Muslim woman or a non-Muslim. Hossein Nejad Malayeri, the brother of Gholamreza Nejad Malayeri, who was killed by the group in Kerman, said: "Such laws are not acceptable in our society today. That means if somebody has money, he can kill, and claim the victim was corrupt."
