POPSConservatives say Obama lacks patriotism I guess the bastards are gonna try pull the "Patriotism" card again! That "Lapel Pin" has become a symbol of the opposite of "Patriotism" as far as I'm concerned! What a bunch of hypocrites. I hope this country has grown up a little in the past four years.

POPSIdaho’s Original Same-Sex Scandal More: Today, Boise is the urban center of a metro area with a half-million residents. Boise’s gay life, compared with that in San Francisco or even Portland, Ore., is quiet, but it is active enough to support a community center, a drag court, three gay bars and a monthly newspaper. The city even elected and re-elected a lesbian to the State Legislature in 2004 and 2006.

POPSAmerica’s Toe-Tapping Menace
More: In other words, not only did these men have nice families, they had nice families who seemed to believe what the fathers loudly preached about the sanctity of marriage.Mr. Humphreys called this paradox “the breastplate of righteousness.” The more a man had to lose by having a secret life, the more he acquired the trappings of respectability: “His armor has a particularly shiny quality, a refulgence, which tends to blind the audience to certain of his practices. To others in his everyday world, he is not only normal but righteous — an exemplar of good behavior and right thinking.” Mr. Humphreys even anticipated the vehement denials of men who are outed: “The secret offender may well believe he is more righteous than the next man, hence his shock and outrage, his disbelieving indignation, when he is discovered and discredited.” This last sentence brings to mind the hollow refutations of figures at the center of many recent public sex scandals, heterosexual and homosexual, no

POPSBuilding a Coalition, Forgetting to Rule This administration was watching the polls very carefully. Not the polls of the majority of the people, but the polls of their base. They governed for the vote and to stay in power. They did not govern for the good of the people or of the nation.

POPSGonzales Helped Bush Hide His Drunk Driving Conviction Gonzales and Bush have quite a history together. Is there anyone out there who could have survived a drunk driving charge and go on to be President of the United States of America. Bush didn't stop drinking until he was 40 years old. It was not just a youth oriented mis-conduct event!

POPSForget Ethics, Remember Politics I don't know how "Turd Blossom" (Karl Rove} can continue to be intimately involved in these things without being called to account! I sure am looking forward to the day that his big smile is wiped from his unethical face!

POPSAbraham Lincoln...February 15, 1848 Seems like, as this great nation ages, we get dumber and dumber. Is it because we are getting further and further away from the days of oppression from those "Kings" that Abe is talking about in this letter to his law partner.

POPSThe Reverend Falwell’s Heavenly Timing from the article: What a difference a midterm election has made. The Karl Rove theory that Republicans cannot survive without pandering to religious-right pooh-bahs is yet another piece of Bush dogma lying in ruins, done in by two synergistic forces. The first is the raw political math. Polls consistently show that most Americans don’t want abortion outlawed, do want legal recognition for gay couples, do want stem-cell research and never want to see government intrude on a Terri Schiavo again. On Election Day 2006, voters in red states defeated both an abortion ban (South Dakota) and, for the first time, a same-sex marriage ban (Arizona). But equally crucial is how much the “family values” establishment has tarnished itself in the Bush era. Some of that self-destruction followed the time-honored Jimmy Swaggart-Jim Bakker paradigm of hypocrisy: the revelations that Ted Haggard, the head of the National Association of Evangelicals, was finding God in the arms of a male prostitute, an

POPSFalwell may be gone, but "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." ~ John Adams October 11, 1798 "In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them, and to effect this, they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer engine for their purposes." ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to Horatio G Spafford March 17, 1814

POPSI Report You Decide AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals. -- Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown) The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country. -- Rev Jerry Falwell, Sermon, July 4, 1976 The Jews are returning to their land of unbelief. They are spiritually blind and desperately in need of their Messiah and Savior. -- Jerry Falwell, Listen, America! Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan. -- Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown) The ACLU is to Christians what the American Nazi party is to Jews. -- Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown) AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharoah's chariotters. -- Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)
