POPSAFSCME, one of America's largest unions, takes on Obama McEntee led workers in chanting a barnyard epithet to describe Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus’s health care bill, which would levy a new tax on expensive health care plans. He published an op-ed in U.S.A. Today warning, in terms that could be used against Democrats in the midterms, that the plan could tax the middle class and cost workers their health care. And he blew off a plea from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and published an open letter promising to “oppose” legislation that contained the tax – published over the objections, several labor officials said, of other union presidents whose names appeared on the letter.

POPSBill and Melinda Gates pledge 120 million to boost African, Indian farmers Oh noez. Corporate America, Bill Gates, is dropping 120 million to help Africa and India. So liberals, this must horrify you right? Because corporations are "evil" in your nightmares or did you confuse it with an episode of "Fringe". Moan for me libs. Moan about America and whine because Americans, Bill and Melinda Gates, just blew your mind. Where's that fatty Michael Moore-on anyway? Probably sitting in Krispy Kreme or Dominoes Pizza stuffing his fat face. I know this news isn't as important as the Christians eating fried chicken at the Baptist Church, but who could compete with a horror show like that. Waaaaahhhhhh corporations......waaaaahhhhhh Christians........wahhhhhhh Rush Limbaugh.......waaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Boohoo. Cry me a river.

POPSRemembering 9/11, Eight Years Later the ideological battlefield. As someone who was galvanized into a political awakening and eventual transformation by 9/11, it has been disheartening to see the country slide back into somnolence. Indeed, I have wondered at times whether we have entered a post-post-9/11 age. I believe the memory still lingers in our collective consciousness, but it has retreated to the farther reaches. When one looks at history, this depressing pattern emerges time and time again. One has to wonder if human beings generally don't learn from history, but rather, are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again. Jolted out of slumber every so often by horrific events, we then sink back into oblivion once the threat no longer seems urgent. A few will always stand on the sidelines trying to bring attention to the looming threat of the day, but by and large, we only listen when forced. Nonetheless, the fight must go on, for the alternative is far too frightening.

The Egyptian newspaper Al-Maydan editorialized: "Millions across the world shouted in joy: America has been hit!" I'm not making this stuff up.

POPSLiberal Presuppositions: Why Leftists ARE America’s “Domestic Enemy” From a presuppositional perspective, liberals and radical leftists adhere to some basic beliefs: * White conservatives are racist * God is a myth * Evolution is fact * Criminals are merely a product of their environment * The rich should pay for the poor * All poor whites are uneducated rednecks * All rich whites manipulate every aspect of society for their personal benefit * The Constitution is a “living document” and can be altered at will * Liberals are incapable of being racist * Blacks are incapable of being racist How sick that liberals would dare gripe about anti-obama demonstrations when idiot leftists were carrying around signs to murder George Bush. Gross. Just disgusting. One point to clarify about "men and women cannot control their sexual behavior." I take that to mean their "promiscuity", not whether or not they are gay or straight. I am not against loving the person you choose to be with.

POPSObama vs. America Now we have a government that wants to baby-sit us and make all of our decisions for us. I guess some people need that--mainly the people who voted to put these charlatans in office. It’s high time that those people learned to stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves. We cannot afford, nor do we want, to be their babysitters any longer. The whole purpose of the Constitution is to define the federal government and to establish a separation of powers between federal authority and the states. That is why the enumerated powers specified in Article 1, Section 8 were then reinforced with the 9th and 10th Amendments, to make the federal limitations perfectly clear to anyone reading the document.

POPSLiving pictures formed by 1000s of returning U.S. soldiers in WWI Images. Englishman Arthur S Mole and his American colleague John D Thomas took these incredible pictures of thousands of soldiers forming icons of American history. Arthur's great nephew Joseph Mole, 70, says: "In the picture of the Statue of Liberty there are 18,000 men: 12,000 of them in the torch alone, but just 17 at the base. The men at the top of the picture are actually half a mile away from the men at the bottom"

"I think people are getting the feedback that they're having very good conversations about what's in the legislation -- what people would like to see, what options they want to have, why they think it's important," he said. "I said this yesterday, I'll say this again: while I appreciate that you all have decided that every town hall meeting ends in pushing, shoving and yelling...they're not completely indicative of what's going on in America." Still, the administration will continue trying to rebut attacks on Obama's proposals, he said. "I think he believes very strongly, as we talked about yesterday, that it is important to address misconceptions or misimpressions that have been left out there about the bills. I do believe that the president feels strongly that when he makes his case, it helps the case for overall health care reform," Gibbs told reporters during his daily briefing. "So he felt very satisfied with what happened in New Hampshire. He was able to address conc

POPSChuck Todd Reports O.1 Percent Drop in Unemployment The Obama White House already planning their own "Morning in America" Ad Campaign for 2011-2012! "Morning in America" was President Ronald Reagan's ad theme during the 1984 campaign which followed the stunning turnaround in the U.S. economy during Reagan's first term of tax cuts and doing everything possible to help businesses. But because unemployment took a minuscule drop, they are already comparing it to what Reagan accomplished, even though Obama has done everything opposite what Reagan did. It was too much even for fellow panelist Susan Page of USA Today who immediately interjected that "Morning in America" was preceded by Reagan losing 26 seats in Congress in the 1982 mid-term election, suggesting that may be what is more realistic for Obama to expect.

POPSNBC wants Fox competitor Glenn Beck fired. Ah, liberal tolerance. As long as this place is called America, Beck can say whatever the hell he wants, just as liberals wrote and spoke about their fantasies of assassinating George Bush. If NBC thinks America will only achieve greatness if it were Cuba, then they're the ones that need to pack up, get in a boat, and row row row....south of Miami. Stupid. And the execs at NBC wonder why they're sitting at #7 below The Food Network in the ratings.

POPSJourneys that changed the world Long before he met Fidel Castro, Ernesto Guevara did what any medical student would do with his free time: he went on spring break, driving across South America with a buddy on a motorcycle trip.The poverty Che observed led him to join a revolution in Cuba and, far less successfully, one in Bolivia that led to his execution. He wrote about his experiences in The Motorcycle Diaries and ultimately became a symbol for everyone from idealists fighting for the downtrodden to vendors looking for an easy way to sell T-shirts to college kids.<< much more at the source

POPSBad Guys Refuse to be Charmed Obama has set a series of false notes in foreign policy by standing silently as huge crowds in Iran courageously protested a stolen election and failing to support Honduras against a Chavez-like attempt to avoid the rules of a democracy. He has not even been consistent: in the first case, he feared being characterized as the Wild “Meddling” West; in the second, he had no compunctions against major meddling. In another sense, however, he was consistent. In both cases he failed to support the people who were standing up, which makes his rhetoric in Russia still another false note.

POPS10 more must-try exotic fruits Rose Apple, also known as Champoo is one of the most interesting exotic fruits on the planet, just for the fact that it smells and tastes a lot like roses. Unfortunately they are rarely found in markets around the world because they spoil very quickly after being picked. The bell-shaped fruits are crisp, crunchy and have a delicious fresh flavor. It can be eaten whole but as with apples, many people prefer to leave the core. Rose Apples are also boiled in hot water to make scented Rose Water.

POPSErnest Hemingway a KGB spy? Named “Agent Argo” by his KGB handlers, he was a considered a reluctant, dilettante spy who met with his handlers several times but never delivered. Hemingway is reported to have been recruited in 1941, before making a trip to China. The book quotes one of his handlers as indicating Hemingway “repeatedly expressed his desire and willingness to help us.” Based on his failure to provide any political information, the KGB stopped meeting with him by the end of the 1940s. It is not known whether Hemingway was committed to the communist cause or perhaps using the adventure as research for some future work, but it certainly adds a new element to what is known about Papa Hemingway.

In some places, you have to put your sun visor down at 3:00 a.m. Or when it warms up to -35 degrees (Fahrenheit) people are outside in short sleeve shirts washing their cars. At Halloween, your costume has to fit over a snowsuit. And people drive for a mile on square tires on a -65 degree morning.

POPSNational Black Republican Association calls on Democrat Party to apologize for racism
Socialist policies suck. They're not good for any of us. From the article: "They believe the socialist policies of the Democrat Party harm blacks, rather than help them, and serve to further racial tensions through victim-mongering." "Chairman Rice spells out how the socialism of the Democrat Party uses a “despicable..strategy …to keep blacks poor, angry, and voting for Democrats.” And further, that “the socialist policies of the Democrats have destroyed the economic and social fabric of black communities.” "She states that there are two main reasons for black support of the Democrat Party, despite the fact that most blacks are generally conservative. First is the Democrats’ false branding of the Republican Party as being racist. And second, is the deeply-rooted belief that “the government must do something for blacks”. Whereas the Republican Party promotes self-sufficiency among the black community, the Democrat Party insists on blacks’ dependence on the government. "

POPSACORN get the mine.... Kevin Jackson: "If you don’t believe me, then visit an ACORN facility. They are located in any large city with a heavy black population. The building will be prominently placed in a mostly black community. When you see ACORN minions protesting, getting petitions signed, or doing whatever destructive deeds ACORN wishes to perpetrate on the black community, you can bet that it will be mostly black people doing the bidding. Democrat slavery is alive and well, as it is a white slave Massa who is the overseer at ACORN. So every day, ignorant blacks hit the streets at the urging of Massa to institute policies that have gotten blacks NOTHING over the past six decades. Since ACORN’s founding by Wade Rathke in 1970’s the decline for blacks has accelerated, not gotten better…except for Rathke. Now that his brother has embezzled a few hundred thousands, Rathke has taken ACORN international…oh, and changed the name."
