POPSCongressmen profited from inside information in the collapse? Amen to the last statement of the clip. I'm sick of all of them. Only within the last few years have I begun to realize how corrupted Washington (and everyone, I guess) truly is. I'll admit to being naive because I was raised to be honest...or suffer the consequences. If other high-profile names can be prosecuted and sent to prison...why not these?? And I don't care about their Party affiliation.

POPSWeak Knees at the White House Piercing article revealing the *news medias* new position within Americas society/culture...Presidential lapdog and propaganda machine.

POPSTime to end Black History Month? Can we just teach American History (the real version) and stop making PC points that over-reach? I just spent 2 1/2 wks working on a project about Louis Armstrong (required) with my G-son. Now, Mr. Armstrong was a great cornet, jazz musician. So? Reality...I'm not special, you're not special, no one is special....unless they live their lives in a way that benefits other human beings. And I think most all of us do that to some extent everyday. Make it an elective course in school.

POPSKen Starr to defend gay marriage ban.... Good. Not for one minute do I believe that the march towards *gay marriage* or the homosexual agenda will not succeed in American culture. However, I support those who continue to thwart it's advance in the public arena....regardless of it's final outcome.

POPSEurope or Eurabia I am among those who foresee Europe becoming dominated by Islam...and much sooner than anyone expects.

POPSCanadian Muslim Teen's Dad Charged in Her Murder...... I don't want to make this too much of a blanket statement, but I believe this is where Eastern and Western cultures clash. The Judeo-Christian *traditional* sensibilities will not accept a persons *right* to kill another person. Whether for religious or cultural reasons. A "teen issue"....maybe. We all have them if we have teens. Murdering them should warrant an arrest no matter their *crimes*. The poor mother. This is pitiful.

POPS'Kite Runner' actor's family wants rape scene cut I listened to this book on audio and it was, without a doubt, one of the best stories I've listened to/read in a long, long time. And it's not about rape; it's about Afghanistan, it's culture, and two boys' relationships. It's about loyalty, human affection blended with the culture and traditions of one's Country. It haunted me. There is no way that the directors can not re-do the scene in such a way as to protect the sensibilities and fears of the family and still remain true to the original story. For years Hollywood was able to leave things to our imagination and it never destroyed the quality of the story. With all the garbage out there that is promoted as quality entertainment, surely this story can be salvaged. This one could actually deserve to win an Oscar.

POPSView from America: CNN's false symmetry Participants of each of the 3 major religions of the world have, in the past, been responsible for horrible things in the name of their Faith. I say that those who did these things were not orthodox representatives of their Faith. But to, in this time of history, make all 3 equally liable for the horror that is going on in the world is a lie...and that is what this series attempted to do. Paint them all with the same murderous, extremist brush. And the world ate it up.

POPSSchoolgirls in the gunsights of the Taliban I found this was/is a common practice of the Taliban (and others of their ilk) when I recently read "A Thousand Splendid Suns", by Khaled Hosseini. I highly recommend it to give us a more clear picture of the enemy and culture of death that we face.

POPSAbortion parental-notice law repealed My gosh, this is low. Parents don't have a right to know if their daughter has an abortion but they have to pick up the pieces of their child's life from the after-effects.

POPSOhip Mother's Body Found, Boyfriend Charged It's hard to view these kinds of people as any thing other than animalistic. He killed her, wrapped her in a rug in front of her son, killed his unborn baby and dumped her. Warm up that chair.

POPSchildren see, children do This is a very convicting video. I hope no one *sees* themselves here, but it was a powerful reminder that we're always being watched. And you don't have to be a parent..

POPSe-Harmony sued for excluding gays Time to shut down. When the laws of the land begin to demand that people of faith compromise their belief-system, then which *power* are traditional Christians to obey? Not meaning to be too confrontational here. I believe Christian organizations, companies and clubs are being targeted to undercut their dogma, put a certain agenda front-and-center, and eliminate personal religion standards.

POPSPrognosis Worrisome With Cancer's Return This only made me more angry. How many of us have family/friends enduring this kind of battle? The focus of the family should be an election? Again, a reflection on a real battle of personal priorities within our culture.

POPSLawsuit: Penn. school prohibits Jesus costume Usually I just see these and move on; but there seems to be a pervasive belief that the freedoms of speech and expression are not being repressed in America. I think I'll start keeping track. I guess with his robe, he could have gone as Pontius Pilate or Nero.
