POPSThe Nativists are Restless It is easy to mock white-supremacist views as pathetic and to assume that nativism in the age of Obama is on the way out. The country has, of course, made considerable progress since the days of Know-Nothings and the Klan.

POPSThe Straight Facts on Women in Poverty The best policy solutions to address women’s poverty must combine a range of decent employment opportunities with a network of social services that support healthy families, such as quality health care, child care, and housing support.

POPSMexican Migrant Workers in "Slave-Like Conditions" "So they decided to organize. The workers invited us to a meeting and described their conditions. We told them that as African Americans, we recognized what they were describing, and we were with them. The next day the workers walked off the plantation to demand their dignity. A delegation of African Americans attempted to conduct a citizen’s arrest of Relan on charges of violating the federal laws that define slavery, peonage, human trafficking, and servitude in the United States. We read him his rights, and told him that he was violating the laws our ancestors fought for. He was forced to return the passports but Relan still struck back: He fired the workers and illegally evicted them."

POPSHuckabee the Theocrat Check out this video. I remember all the crap back in 2000 about how "down home" GWBush was, how we'd all like to have a beer with him. Huckabee is more of the same, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
