POPSControl-freaks: It Must Be in Their Genes At the heart of Obama's action plan to deal with every problem is the principle of government control over individual action. Consider the first problem: the economy. Obama's first action was to infuse failing financial institutions with borrowed money, with government strings attached. In exchange for the money, government gained veto power over the management of private corporations. Had the people in power not been infected with the "control" gene, financial institutions that had made bad business decisions would have paid the consequences, and the self-correcting free-market financial system would, ultimately, have been stronger. But alas, the poisoned tentacles of government now permeate the financial system.

POPSAmerica: From a Russian Perspective
First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite tv dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blindth the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the “winning” side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the “winning” side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes

POPSRussia & China pose more danger than Iran & N Korea Russia and China pose more of a threat in the nuclear showdown than Iran & N Korea. Russia and China could effectively bring both Iran and N Korea's nuclear ambitions to a halt if they felt it was in each country's best interest. Since both undoubtedly consider rouge states with nuclear weapons only poses a threat to the rest of the world, not themselves, then these two nuclear powers should be viewed as outlaw nations by the rest of the world. They (Russia & China) clearly state by their actions and vetos in the UN, that they do not want a peaceful world.

POPSNorth Korea warns against U.N. action on rocket "What he is doing right now in (these) provocations is ... seeing to what point he can push the rest of the world to get concessions to be able to continue the regime," he said. I'd say N Korea can probably do what ever it wants....leadership in the US would cave to a one-armed robber with a nurff bat and the UN is as potent as a neutered dog.

POPSHappy Birthday Ronald Reagan (Thanks for Ruining America) I wish every one of you far left nut-cases would ban me from your conservative bashing clips that would save me from trying to fight the urge to respond to insane posts. I am tired of your relentless attacks on values, principles and ideas that made this country great. You far-left revolutionaries are bent on the destruction of this county in your twisted desire to reshape it into your own warped socialistic utopia. So don't expect me to be thankful or to remain or polite while you fascists seek a new and improved version of America, a socialistic regime that would rival the old USSR and make Russia jealous. Your pretended righteousness on issues, condemnation of opposition or truth, makes me want to puke. I am tired of all your sanctimonious hyperbole and I refuse to be polite to those who seek our country’s destruction. It is time for conservatives to become just as vocal and just as nasty as the far left are. You and your socialist friends are America’s main enemy, more

POPSCaution likely at EU summit on Russia BRUSSELS, Belgium: When it comes to action over Georgia, Russia has the European Union over a barrel. In fact, 1.2 million barrels. That's the how much Russian crude is pumped westward everyday down the Druzhba pipeline to fuel Europe's economies. This hard economic reality explains why Monday's emergency EU summit will struggle to produce much more than a slap on the wrist for Russia, despite Europe's exasperation over Moscow's invasion of Georgia and backing for its two separatist regions to break away. The EU gets roughly a third of its oil and about 40 percent of its natural gas imports from Russia.

POPSEastern Europe gets jittery over Russia "Slowly, the Iron Curtain is being rebuilt," said Jacek Palasinski, veteran foreign affairs commentator for the Polish television network TVN24. "Europe will be divided again -- the lines are different, pushed farther east, but the division is the same. And dangerous." Ukraine and Moldova are worried that they could be Russia's next targets. The Czech Republic, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of a Soviet invasion that crushed the Prague Spring reform movement, is fretting about history repeating itself. Many Eastern European nations, Poland chief among them, are eager to find safe haven, and have turned to Washington for guidance and reassurance and partnerships.

POPSEx-Soviet States, Poland Rally for Georgia Joining NATO Like Georgia, Ukraine and the Baltic states were Soviet republics, gaining their independence around the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Poland spent more than 40 years as a Soviet satellite after World War II, overthrowing the communist regime in 1989 and joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 10 years later. All the countries involved have sought NATO membership as a bulwark against Russia, with which they have a common border. According to Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich, the current conflict is ample proof that the alliance must admit Georgia and Ukraine quickly. ``No country neighboring Georgia would have taken such a confrontational stance had it been threatened with a joint operation from the entire Atlantic alliance,'' Klich told daily Rzeczpospolita in an interview published today. ``The moral is simple: NATO should offer Georgia and Ukraine plans to gain membership as soon as possible.''
