POPSObama Dropping the Ball Well, what did you expect? Despite the inspiring speeches, he's really just another conservative politician after all.

POPSJust to get this straight... ... the government is appealing this man's refugee status, based on the colour of his skin. Apparently, according to the Conservative Twits in government, a white man can't be a refugee, even though his life has been threatened repeatedly (and he's even been stabbed because of his skin colour) in his home country. That's a complete slice of bullshit. I don't care that it's a relatively rich white man that's the victim in this case, justice is justice. It's not social justice when a government bends over backwards the other way in an attempt to compensate for a past social inequity. If white people are being victimized, and their suffering indirectly government sanctioned in South Africa, then they are as much refugees as someone of any other skin colour trying to escape social inequity in their own homeland. Yes, it's a bitter pill that he's white and rich, but right is right.

POPSThe Truth About Canadian Healthcare If you're in a nation with universal healthcare, I urge you to go to the source site and sign the petition to the US media. Don't let the opponents of Healthcare Reform paint a deceitful picture of Universal Healthcare. Sign the petition, and leave a comment about just what Universal Healthcare means to you and how shameful American Healthcare is.

POPSConservative Propaganda, part two This one's a real knee-slapper. The number one cause of personal bankruptcy in America is the current healthcare system; people can't afford to get sick. In reality, the Single-Payer system will prevent people from going bankrupt from unexpected medical bills; something that commercial healthcare can't say. Every G20 nation except the US has Socialized medicine, and their healthcare is vastly superior to the US's, plus the fact that every single citizen gets all the healthcare they need. America needs to remake its medical system, and you can't let fearmongering by the corporate-owned Republicans stop it from happening. Expose lies like this cartoon for the hysterical drivel they are.

POPSA monster on the court That monster is all the healthcare profiteers who want to stop you from letting them remain obscenely rich off of money that could be keeping you and everyone else in America healthier, and preventing the atrocious unnecessary deaths that plague the US healthcare system. If you claim to be a fiscal conservative, then you must, per force, support single-payer healthcare. Anything else is wasting your healthcare dollars.

POPSBlaming the wrong people again Once again, the conservative nutbars are blaming poor people for the illegal antics of shifty stock traders and banks and the problems caused by lack of necessary regulation. Don't they ever get tired of passing the buck to the poor? I guess they are too cowardly to attack anyone other than easy targets that can't afford to fight back.

POPSA prime example of the Right-Wing, Corporate Media in action Now, can we put this ludicrous fantasy about a "Liberal Media" behind us once and for all? The companies that own the media don't give a damn about Liberal issues; all they care about is their profit margins, and that's a 100% Conservative issue. Oh, and Pelosi didn't lie. Her peers have come forward and confirmed that there were no CIA briefings on the dates when the CIA said they told her about waterboarding. The CIA traffics in lies in every thing it does, so why don't people realize that what the CIA says is just lies? The only possible reasons can be ignorance or stupidity.

POPSSameful Conservative Behavior All the Conservatives know how to do is to bad-mouth other people. They have no ideas of their own, and they're useless for doing anything good for the country.

POPSLooking at the situation backwards The conservative wags are all on how smaller cars will cause more fatalities, but the truth is, with everyone driving smaller cars, they'll pretty well balance out. Of course, if they're so concerned about safety, they could always put forward greater standards for allowing people to drive. If people drive defensively, then there doesn't need to be any more fatalities than there are now; indeed there could be a lot less.

POPSObama; Reinvisioned Now showing in the White House; Barack Obama as the conservative that he, and the Democratic Party really are — they only seem Leftists in comparison to the Far-Right Nutbars in the Rebubbican Party

POPSVanishing Transparency It didn't take Obama long to sell out to the right-wing nutjobs. Let's see how many of his campaign promises he can break in the next 100 days.

POPSGetting steamed about spending Isn't it funny how they were so quiet during the extravagant, pork-riddled spending Bush did, but only now that it's a Democrat in office to they finally take notice. Hypocrisy, thy name is Conservative.

POPSScare tactics The kind of fearmongering in this cartoon is reminiscent of Bush and Cheney screaming "Boo!" to get everyone to give up their constitutional rights for the sake of a little fake security. But what can you expect from Mike Lester; he's a putz, and a peon of the conservative agenda to strip away your rights, and give all your money to the rich.

POPSCartoonist Without a Clue Earth to Bob Gorrell (and all the other conservative cartoonists): Unfettered Capitalism **FAILED!!!** Time to change channels. The wave of the futures is Social Democracies.

POPSThe Reality about "Class Warfare" Whenever the conservatives pull up that old snort about "class warfare", remember what they really mean: "We want to screw you out of your money any way we bloody well want!" Oh, yes it's warfare; but it's the rich that are inflicting all the damage.

POPSRational Disagreement or Rabid Hatred? Click the link to read this entire article; it makes some very good points. Drawing equivalences between right-wingers and left-wingers is not a valid exercise. The Democrats (and Liberals) see their differences from the Republicans (and Conservatives) as a nuanced disagreement of ideals, while Republicans see it as an absolute battle of Good vs. Evil. They aren't opposing Obama because they disagree with his platform; they are against him because they think he's evil. He's been called the Anti-Christ (critical study of Revelations will reveal that he's too old). At rallies, people are screaming to kill him, and cut off his head. It's come to the point where you can't even take it for granted that Republicans accept the fact that Obama is human, just like McCain. This Republican base is acting on a very primitive level, like a lizard-brain, with no critical thought about what they're doing or why they oppose him.

POPSBig Surprise (not!): Harper Lied Hopefully, this will continue the decline of the Conservatives in the polls before the election on the 14th, and maybe we can get a party with at least a small measure of sense back in control of Canada. The Liberals may suck hugely, but they're arms and elbows above the Conservatives.
