POPSThe Open House Party at the White House Luaus, Superbowl parties, salsa dancing, dunking booth, golf outings, movies with the 3d glasses, breathless plane trips to dinner, Beverly Hills, hula-hooping....wtf? Oprah and Clooney. Fergie and the Easter bunny.... The economy crumbles while the White House parties their ass off. Ridiculous and embarrassing. And the Democrats say they best represent the common man, Joe Sixpack? Please. The common man is in bankruptcy or being foreclosed on and working day in and day out. The is a bleeping travesty.

POPSFDR's policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate Whose idea was it to give Democrats a bunch of our money to spend? I’m guessing FDR. If I ever ran into him, he’d be extra crippled. I guess I should also put Woodrow Wilson’s head through drywall to be fair. This clip has been on clipmarks before, but politicians need to keep their hands off of our money. They should be able to send out the military to destroy other countries — things we don’t care about — but they need to keep their hands off our money. And the first porkulus was such as miserable failure, logically , we should repeat the fail to try to fix the damage the first one did.....? WTF?

POPSIs FOX News Biased? It would be funny if FOX News responded to the White House by putting Greg Gutfeld and Andy Levy on as regular anchors during the day.

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.

POPSDo our brains interpret our values and beliefs as facts (objective truths)?
Such messages caused activation in the brain region that is responsible for error detection. So in other words (and yes, I am grossly simplifying here), it was as if people's brain's were indicating "error, error, error; this message does not compute." This is consistent with research by Emily Pronin (psychology professor at Princeton University), which shows that people of all beliefs see their own beliefs as LESS biased than others. In other words, republicans see themselves as less biased, and so do democrats, and for that matter, so do mailman, coperate CEO's and homeless people. I think this goes a long way in explaining the depth and extent to which people defend their beliefs. Perhaps, Berger and Luckmann are right; we do live, in some sense, in alternative forms of reality. Sure, we all know a rock won't bite us and 2 + 2 = 4, but what I "know" (George W. Bush was lousy) is not what many Republicans "knows" (George W. Bush was a good president).

POPSWhen the Democrats throw a black politician under the proverbial bus So where is the outrage libs? David A. Paterson defiantly vowed to run for election next year despite the White House‘s urging that he withdraw from the New York governor’s race. And he should run for governor. Why the hell not? Or whatever office he chooses, despite whatever "racial" conflicts the Democrats may have with this man.

POPSRacism? Really? Black conservatives on Obama Real racism does exist today. But you won’t find it displayed in so called “racist” words that the language police have used to judge your heart and soul. It exists in the liberal movement that champions abortion—abortion that predominantly targets inner-city blacks. It exists in well-to-do environmental circles that serves to keep blacks in third world countries trapped in pathetic third world status in the name of “green.” Whether by the elite condemnation of genetically engineered corn or opposition to development of energy via coal or nuke, such successful opposition and obstruction keeps blacks trapped in a third-world life of suffering. Real racism is alive and well in the educational policies that keep a large segment of America’s black children trapped in absolutely failing schools, unable to read, write, excel or even write their names.

POPSFlashback: Democrats defeated GOP amendment to bar illegals from receiving ObamaCare This is the big question all over the web today. Are illegals covered under ObamaCare? The answer is most assuredly yes. Had the Democrats wanted to bar illegals, they all would have voted yes on Rep. Heller's amendment. And they didn't. Now we know why Rep. Wilson shouted from the floor of the House, "You lie!" He was probably remembering that very vote.

POPSCommon-Sense Health Care Reform Our Nation Can Afford Yet the president keeps spreading the lie that the republicans have no plans and want no reform at all. Some of the radical ideas republicans have proposed: "We do need medical liability reform, and it needs to be real reform. We need to establish tough liability reform standards, encourage speedy resolution of claims, and deter junk lawsuits that drive up the cost of care." "Let's also talk about letting families and businesses buy insurance across state lines." "All individuals should have access to coverage, regardless of preexisting conditions." "Individuals, small businesses and other groups should be able to join together to get health insurance at lower prices, the same way large businesses and labor unions do."

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.

POPSIn Other Words.... "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" If the Democrats are so 'for the people' then why are they ignoring 'the people'? Deaf, dumb and blind but in 'control'. Jackass. The perfect symbol.

POPSConservatives Plan: Putting Patients First! It also expands the individual market by creating several pooling mechanisms. #3: Improve the Health Care Delivery Structure Physicians know the best care for their patient. That's why this legislation establishes doctor-led quality measures, ensuring that you get the quality care you need. It also reimburses physicians to ensure the stability of your care, and encourages healthier lifestyles by allowing employers to offer discounts for healthy habits through wellness and prevention programs. #4: Rein in Out-of-Control Costs A key concern in positive reform is reining in out-of control costs. This legislation does this by reforming the medical liability system. Also, the cost of the plan is completely offset through decreasing defensive medicine, savings from health care efficiencies, sifting out waste, fraud and abuse, plus an annual one-percent non defense discretionary spending step down.

POPSShredding the clunkers Clunker FAIL - throws the poor under the bus. It artificially inflates the value of all used cars — owners will find themselves asking “do I want to try to sell this perfectly-good car for at least $5,000 to someone who needs it, or should I let it get destroyed for a $4,500 credit?” In essence, the bill will boost the minimum value of many used cars to $4,500 — out of the reach of many people in need of transportation. But that won’t matter. We’ll have gotten a bunch of “gas guzzlers” off the road, preventing them from consuming valuable resources and polluting our air. As for the poor… ? Why do I need to ask that question? Aren't the Democrats the party the best serves the needs of the common man, ya know, Joe Sixpack. Or the common man like Ben Affleck....I forget. When you put environmental concerns and other nonsense ahead of the hard-working American, I find it hard to believe the Democrats are serving the people that they say they so adequately represent.

POPSDemocrat White Guys’ Club Do you ever wonder if the reason liberals think everyone who opposes Obama must be a racist is because they are racists who never see anything about people other than their race?
