POPSIf the 1500's were like today Every last American who isn't a member of a First Nation is a hypocrite whenever they take any kind of stance against immigration, legal or otherwise. Stick that in your turkey and smoke it, America!

POPSRevisiting Lies The truth that with the Socialized Medicine in Canada, no one waits for medically-necessary operations. People getting elective surgery might have to wait from 3-6 weeks to get a time for their surgery, but again, that's only medically-unnecessary, elective surgery The meme that Canadians have to wait months for treatment is just a desperate lie by Big Health Insurance and their Republican pawns to try to keep Americans on their parasitic, overpriced, unfair health insurance. Canadians get better healthcare, less expensive healthcare, more inclusive healthcare, and better preventative healthcare than Americans, hands down. The American plan isn't intended to treat patients; it's intended to turn profits. Your healthcare deserves better than to be someone's get-rich-quick scheme.

POPSReligious Right-eousness Here we see the basic principle of all right-wing extremists: if you can't solve something, kill someone. Hardly surprising when you consider how much murder and mayhem has been done in the name of the Church and so-called "Christian" religions.

POPSAmericans on Palestinians and Jews There are people out there who claim that Israel is just defending themselves, but their fail to point out that the only reason they need to defend themselves is because they're treating a minority with the exact same ill behaviour as was exercised on the Jews over the centuries. Yes, Israel is being attacked, but only because they started the problem. If they would just stop being such hypocrites, and spitting in the faces of their ancestors, they wouldn't need to defend themselves from the consequences of their actions.

POPSRepublicans worshipping their god It's rather ironic that the Republicans tried to cast Obama as the left's "Messiah", when they worship a pudgy little hate-filled, drug-addicted, petty man as their god.

POPSThe Right-wing's criticism of Obama, summed up It took them 20 years of destructive deregulation to break the economy, and they expect Obama to fix it immediately? They should consider themselves luck if there's any improvement whatsoever in his first term; especially considering the brick walls the Republicans keep trying to throw up in the path of America's recovery.

POPSNight of the Living Guantanamo Detainees They're supernatural! They have scary Muslim powers! They'll eat your children's souls if they come to a prison in your state! Or maybe, everyone is just being monumentally silly, and proving that America is worthy of the global derision and contempt it gets?

POPSBush Happens I can see it; 6 years from now, whenever someone has been totally and completely screwed by the person in charge, they will say that they've been "Totally Bushed". You can quote me on that.

POPSJustifying Terrorism Terrorists often have a fanatical, absolutist mentality, that doesn't take reality and practicality into account. As a person absolutely opposed to frivolous abortions, I'm ashamed to say that describes the Anti-Choice ("Pro-Life") movement perfectly.

POPSDefending Traditional Marriage While you're at it, don't let the rest of the heterosexuals marry, either. They just stomp all over the concept of marriage with their many affairs, divorces and painful child custody trials. Let the gay people have the marriages. So far, they've got a damn better track record for respecting marriage than the heteros do.

POPSThe Execs of Evil Whose idea was it to let these guys do whatever they wanted, without regulations? Oh, yes. The Republicans. Who's the last party you should ever allow to run the government? Right again. The Republicans.

POPSJust when the future is looking bright... Fortunately, it looks like legal action will prevent Prop 8 from being enacted. There is something fundamentally wrong on the majority voting on the rights of a minority, especially when partisan politicians have tried to abrogate the rights of the court.

POPSMore ignorance about Canada from US Officials Read the entire article. People like Napolitano believe that myths about Canada are true, when the truth is that Canada's border regulations are more rigorous than those of the US. No 9/11 terrorists came across the Canadian border; they all arrived at American entry points with American documentation. No successful terrorist in the US has come from Canada. In the few cases where people intent on causing terror in the US came from Canada (Like the failed "Millennium Bomber"), those people were stopped with help from intel from the Canadian RCMP. This paranoia about Canada being a launching point for terrorists in America needs to stop. It's untrue, and it's damaging a relationship that was already deeply damaged by George Bush. Americans don't want to get on the bad side of Canadians; after all, the vast majority of the US's Energy Imports come from Canada; especially petroleum.

POPSThe difference is... The Village was founded legally, on land they actually own. The Settlement was founded illegally, with the land stolen from people from other people; a people at almost a refugee status, thanks to the horrible way Israel treats them. If you're wondering why the media is mad in the lower frames, it's because they know scoundrels when they see them.

POPSThe Pro-Life are Anti-Life A much more definite situation, there. Killing a human being that was successfully living on it's own, by someone protesting against the killing of human beings that might not successfully live on their own. Whether Abortion is moral or not, these wingnuts bombing abortion clinics and killing people who perform abortions are most definitely amoral, and completely wrong.

POPSHeaven forbid people Stop and Think The mediaspace is so polluted with opinions based on drivel and nonsense, that solid facts and rational consideration are swept away by a tidal wave propaganda and fantasy.

POPSWe're doomed! Well, considering that being "doomed to socialized medicine" means paying much less for your healthcare, getting all the heathcare that you need right when you need it, and not having bureaucrats delaying forever on deciding whether they'll cover your needed treatment or not. Doomed to being able to get preventative medicine to keep you from getting sick in the first place. Doomed to not going bankrupt from medical bills (Medical bills are the #1 reason for personal bankruptcy in the US). Best run into the arms of your gouging, greedy, overcharging, unethical Health Insurance Agencies so they can "save" you from socialized medicine... and it will only cost you $4999.98.
