POPSThe Political Twilight Zone (revisited) After 8 long years of the Bush Twilight Zone. Here we are again being sucked into the McCain's version of this same Zone. Where the HELL is reality? McCain's pick of Sarah Palin is almost as troubling as a W. Bush second win. After proving himself totally incompetent with his first 4 years, the US people gave him the majority vote to rule for another 4 years. I know the rest of the world must think of us as Nut Cases. And we deserved the title! Sarah Palin is as nutty as a Jerry Falwell, the "man" who had babbled "AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it's God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals." AND, "The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country." ALSO, "Good Christians, like slaves and soldiers, ask no questions."

POPSAMERICA'S IGNORANCE ON RACE Sad, but let us hope that those who still hold on to their xenophobia and complete unfounded fears of anyone who looks different from themselves. Will, at long last, get so fed up with the status quo of the almighty greed and corporate powerbrokers, who use any tool to hold on to their powers. Consequently, making them realize that they are just pawns to the GREED GODS This "awakening" will end the long reign of power by those who only care about themselves. I can only dream.thinkingblue PS: this (utter stupidity) was a comment on one of my blogs... obama bin biden this might be silly but if you put Obama and Biden you come up with the name of osama bin laden ... come on .. how close is that name.. this is not good news for US to have osama bin binden as the people in charge.. i dont think this is an accindent .. you know this kind of scares me alot to see that name... WHAT STUPID HORSESHIT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM4NxHGb6iI (VIDEO)

POPSThe Facts - Why have they become obsolete?
Why doesn't anyone want to believe the facts anymore? Has our America slid into such a La La Land that mendacities are more plausible than hard facts? It's enough to make you cry UNCLE. If we don't take our America back soon, we will suffer the consequences of Nazi Germany. --- Excerpted from The White Rose The White Rose, was formed by students at the University of Munich in 1941. It is believed that the group was formed after August von Galen, the Archbishop of Munster, spoke out in a sermon against the Nazi practice of euthanasia (the killing of those considered by the Nazis as genetically unsuitable). ---- The three members of the White Rose group appeared before the People's Court judge, Roland Friesler, on 20th February. Found guilty of sedition they were executed by guillotine a few hours later. Just before he was executed Hans Scholl shouted out: "Long live freedom!" --- Read more here: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERwhiterose.htm

POPSLYING FORWARDS FROM THE RIGHTWING My niece sent me this email and asked me the following... Hey Aunt C, Somebody sent this to me and I know you are fantastic at finding the truth, so is this true or some republican trying to change peoples votes. Thanks, (Niece) LINK HERE: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/taxes.asp Hi, (Niece). it is completely false... Thanks for asking... I wish that others would question this baloney the republican rightwing sends around to the naive, who mindlessly accept these stupid forwards as the truth... A sad America, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, (and the middle class continues to disappear) is the result of such irrationality... The very ones who get hurt by these forwards are the ones who would probably be helped if the wealthy, whether they be individuals or corporations were forced to pay their share of taxes, instead of getting tax breaks that the republican party keep giving them. http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSRepublicans are back in Romper Room AGAIN! Back in July of 2003, I made a page referring to A Republican Romper Room. I have always thought the "R" party quite childish with their infantile rhetoric, and here we are in 2008 and they are back in ROMPER ROOM AGAIN! . Why don't they just GROW UP and maybe together we can finally have a world run by adults. WHAT? Not if the Republican Party has anything to do with it!

POPSObama Bloggers To Forgive His FISA Vote. A friend of mine (A Democrat convert, to Ron Paul's defunct bid for "R" nomination) wrote me the following on clipmark "The Thrill Gone For Obama Supporters?" ------ WAY worse than any little symbolic pin would by his vote supporting immunity for the telecoms and supporting all the more spying on the American people - clear violation of the 4th Amendment That should tell you that he is coming from the same love of executive power in support of corporate power over people power and considering rights dispensable for a greater "good." Judy --- My response: Judy, I know he caved on the (H.R. 6304 ) and that's a big deal but I won't cross him off my list... better Obama than McCain and I refuse to waste my vote on someone I know, without a doubt, will not win and perhaps will help McCain win (god forbid!)... Obama is our only chance at the moment and I won't thumb my nose at that. More Here: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/obamas-fisa-shi.html thinkingblue blog

POPSObama born to Muslim Martians and Wants To Tax Water. Beware, the lies and smears are flying right to your in-box. The swiftboaters are having a ball, making all the naive believe what THEY want them to believe If you don't belong to the "R" base, (Those guys will go to their graves with the mantra "BUSH WAS THE BEST PRESIDENT EVER" and will not believe anything to the contrary.) don't let them coax you into joining up, by Thinking!. :cool:

POPSObama born to Muslim Martians! Hey, believe that and I've got a bridge on the MOON to sell ya! Good Gobbly Goop, there are too many gullibles in the USA. Sometimes, I get a notion to post on the Internet, something so outrageous, that only a person living on some mountaintop without any info at hand and with an IQ of minus 10, could believe. Just to see how breakneck fast it would go from computer to computer. Then I’ll sit back and listen to the, collective shouts of the 'Uninformed" yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO, I KNEW OBAMA WAS A DIRTY WHATCHAMACALLIT!" We sure are a nation of nincompoops (Well, too many, anyhow.). It's scary, that countless "informationally challenged" will vote for a USA president, based on rumors and negative hearsay of the opposition. What's so stressful, is that not only they, will live with the consequences but the rest of us who have half a brain will also have to live with their boneheaded mindsets. Just for fun, let's have another 8 years of Dubya to see what how low we could go. :eek:

POPSIs The Thrill Gone For Obama Supporters? Obama Fades? I can't speak for anyone else but for me his glow has dimmed, since he started wearing that flag lapel pin. While living through years of the worst president the US has had at the helm, I could identify the enemy or the Bush supporters by their Bush/Neocon fraternity pins. And I could direct my anger even before the Bushy sycophants opened their bombastic collective rhetorical pie-holes and blather the some ole, same ole. So the flag label pin had become a symbol of pretentious superciliousness to me. Of course, with Obama pandering to the "R's" and the "I's" who voted for Dubya and helped ruin our country and make us a laughing stock all over the world (Remember the headline from the UK’s Daily Mirror: How Can 1,230,065 People Be So Dumb?) may have a little to do with the Obama Fade From Grace. But that PIN is all I see when this eloquent orator takes center stage and its glare has a blinding effect on the reflection of the man behind that "R" studded brooch. :-(

POPSThe Redacting Of Thomas Jefferson This is just a "tip of the iceberg" of the redacting and revising of documents and facts the Bush Neocon Administration have been busily churning out for the past 7-plus years. Will we ever see the WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH again? I am hopeful we will if Obama is elected, but I will say a jubilant Good Riddance to them all, come January 2009, no matter who is elected! thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSFox Noise Is At It Again!! Dear Fox News or rather Noise, Your behavior goes way beyond the pale. In fact your type of excessive fear mongering displays exactly what you try to paint Senator Barack Obama as... foreign, un-American, suspicious, and scary. I realize your viewers are mainly the Limbaugh Ditto Heads but that doesn't excuse your spewing racist and bigoted defamation over our airwaves. You should hang your heads in shame but you have no shame. If you had a human attribute such as guilt you would have stopped long ago to slander anyone who went against your mindset of the rich should get richer and the poor should get lies and distortion. In other words keep the ignorant, ignorant! Your sponsors are as responsible as you, in their disservice to the public and I hope with all that is good they will eventually become losers just like yourselves.

POPSThe many faces of John McCain. The closer we get to the presidential election the more John McCain looks and acts like George W. Bush. I don't know what his strategy is all about but do we really want another term of the neocons and Bush? I think not! Perhaps, he is banking on another 9/11 or something to shock Americans into the same fear-hold Karl Rove and the rest of the neocon manipulators had on the people...You know that PNAC group (which has since shut down their site...hmmm I wonder why, does rats overboard mean anything?) But, the PNAC in order to unleash their foreign/military campaigns needed a catalyzing event like "a new Pearl Harbor". (neocon quote) 9/11 rode to their rescue. Now they were able to Pied Piper all the little frightened children into the black hole of hell. But their utopian plan did not work out so well. Maybe they need another Pearl Harbor because it seems the little children have lost some of their fear and may need a booster shot. How much more can we take? Obama or Anyone But McBush!

POPSATTENTION:FOX NEWS - FIRE LIZ TROTTA Liz Trotta, may think assassination is funny but most people DO NOT! Most people, are appalled that we live in a world where people are shot, maimed, blown up or mutilated because they are trying to create a better place for mankind. Our country has gone through some grievous times with the assassination of a president, the shooting of another president, the murder of a man of peace who's passion was to see that all people get what the constitution awards, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and a bullet to the head of a man campaigning for the highest position of the land while still grieving over his own brother's murder. We still haven't completely healed from all the wanton destruction this country has encountered. For someone to go on the airwaves, the people's airwaves and joke about execution type slayings is loathsome to no end. If she is allowed continued TV appearances by simply uttering a little unrepentant apology, none of us should stand for it. More Below:

POPSA truth article about this election - BITTER POLITICS A truth article about politics... But it wasn't just the media. In a recent Sunday talk-show appearance, McCain was eager to delve--unprompted--into yet another discussion about Bill Ayers, while Clinton invoked her affinity for her small-town brethren by recounting her girlhood shooting lessons. In other words, multimillionaire McCain, the millionaire pundit class and the millionaire Clintons all spent the last weeks waging a culture war against a man who spent most of his career organizing in or representing the South Side of Chicago. It was enough to make one cling to religion. What was so dispiriting about this spectacle wasn't its nastiness. Politics in a democracy will always be rancorous; it's the nonviolent means we've established to referee conflicting interests. No, it was the sheer staleness: the run-up to Pennsylvania was dominated by the umpteenth iteration of a clash of fabricated caricatures. More below:

POPSIs Hillary now suggesting Ass-ass-ination to win? I just heard this on MSNBC... What? This is so bad, it's way beyond the pale. It's an action that is so outside the limits of acceptable behavior, quite UNACCEPTABLE AND IMPROPER! Borrowing a line from The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, dated 1837: “I look upon you, MADAM, as a WOMAN who has placed HERSELF beyond the pale of society, by YOUR most audacious, disgraceful, and abominable public conduct”. Hillary if you don't quit the race now, you will forever be seen as a soiled and besmirched politician within your beloved career of politics!

POPSIGNORANCE RULES! I am so tired of hearing how the ignorant population rule. The real question should be... Why are so many Americans unknowledgeable? In today's world, that is beyond a disgrace, especially in a rich country. Leave no child behind, MY FOOT! Hillary has lost so much respect, because of her winning at all cost, strategy. She is playing with those who possess little ability to decipher the information hurled in all directions, so afraid their fragile reality will topple if truth is exposed to them. Playing with them the same way big balls mcgraw, Karl Rove did and still does. She's even (sort of) flirted with the likes of Rove! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTGbI8pzvqk :shock: Are we, once again, going to have a president elected by the unenlightened and unread? Those in the Hillary political category are banking on it. But I, for pity's sake, sure as hell, HOPE NOT!. No joke, we can't afford it to happen again, our very existence depends on it!! :-?

POPSWAR ON WAR music video contest This video was my entry into a contest by Sam Harris. He wrote a powerful song with a strong message against war. The USA government is always declaring war on something i.e. War on drugs, war on terrorism, war on poverty... How about a war on war? Says, Sam Harris... You can view link... http://www.youtube.com/groups_videos?name=waronwar Contest here: http://www.samharris.com/waronwar/ thinkingblue.blogspot.com --- A SPECIAL COMMENT FROM THETHINKINGBLUE CHANNEL Some of the nasty comments on thethinkingblue channel illustrate how sad we Americans are as a people. There is so much ignorant hatred bristling, that a complete coming together as one commonality is almost impossible. Barack Obama is our only hope. He can soothe the pain of hatred and rage by not embracing it like so many other political bodies have (yes even Hillary Clinton stooped so low) and he will demonstrate to us, through example that we really can come together as one. YES WE CAN! thinkingblue.blogspot

POPSHate Limbaugh or Limbaugh's hate! Dangerous or Laughable? (I chose both but the former rather than the latter is more direct... One Dangerous Dude!) ~~~~~~~ It was no surprise that Limbaugh would call for riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver to embarrass the Democrats. Limbaugh -- and his fellow purveyors of hate on the airwaves -- are dangerous demagogues whom pro-democracy Americans too easily dismiss as poltroonish shills for the entrenched powers. It's a regular staple of the millionaire right-wing echo chamber to use the explicit or implicit language of violence. In fact, the entire "frame" of everyone from Sean Hannity to Bill O'Reilly to Rush Limbaugh is to convince their listeners that people who don't agree with these "pundits of patriotism" are the enemy and dangerous to America.

Now read this article of more Hillary nose destruction... http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/04/hillary-clin-10.html Hillary Clinton dissed party activists and MoveOn.org Apparently Hillary Clinton hasn't always been enamored with the rambunctious nature of the historic fight for the Democratic presidential nomination. Speaking to financial backers after Super Tuesday, she blamed the party's activists and MoveOn.org for her early primary and caucus defeats, according to an item over at The Huffington Post. "MoveOn.org endorsed -- which is like a gusher of money that never seems to slow down," the item quotes Clinton as saying (there's audio on the site).

POPSSend A Fax Telling Obama and Clinton... To stop funding the war! For the life of me, I don't know where the money is coming from. Perhaps it's China who is really funding this illegal war to the detriment our children and grandchildren's future. When will the madness end? Never, if we continue to throw good money after bad ideas. It reminds me of the Problem Gambler who can't quit his chronic habit and continues to gamble in spite of losing because he psychotically believes the BIG WIN is just a few more bucks (and in war, a few more lives) down the road.

POPSObama, America needs you! I hope Barack Obama gets the Dem nomination. I don't like the way Hillary Clinton has gone negative. After all the dirty low-down republican antics that had plagued her you'd think she would know better. Deep down inside, I'm a bit frustrated with the Clinton's... I blame old Billy Boy for the Neocon havoc we have had to endure these past 7 years... If it weren't for his out of control, beyond reason, lust and the few idiotic moments of pleasure he received by catering to his insatiable sexual appetite... we would have a different world today instead of this maddening one. I don't know if Obama will make a good leader but one thing for sure, he will give us the hope we have been denied for so long. I made another youtube video featuring him... probably won't do anything to help him get the nomination but it sure is fun creating these things... Obama is an easy subject for encouragement... his every stance shouts HOPE. Here is the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMFfe1v6AKE

POPSA Valentine Gift For America It's been a long time since I've felt inspired by a presidential race. Not since JFK, and I was too young to vote for him. Like Kennedy I get a chill and teary eyed when Obama speaks. It's been a long time but it feels good. So to those who, still possess hope. Hope that our country can survive the disunion brought about by so many administrations. We've been blinded by insincere words and lies. The band-aid cures diagnosed by those at the top who seem to think war is the answer to any problem. We now have a chance to put all this behind us. I hope we grasp this opportunity. We may not get another one! Barack Obama, knows he can't do this alone. He doesn't say, he's the decider so you can go shopping. He tells us, he needs our help, because we are all the grown-ups in this problematic life. We all need to pitch in if we want to save our standing in this world. I think I'm in love again, love for my country. Happy Valentine's Day '08! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWcw2OEyhXI

POPSYOU'VE GOT SNAIL MAIL It looks like the lies, and mudslinging have become a way of life in political circles and campaigns. But of all people to use such tactics, one would imagine, Hillary Clinton could never resort to such dirty tricks. After all the lies that the republican camps had flung her way hoping to smear her husband and herself into obliteration, I would think she would have become a defender of truth. I'm very disappointed with Hillary and Bill's choice to embrace the swiftboater's dirty maneuvers to win an election. If we the people keep listening to known lies and casting our votes for those who sling such lies, we deserve what we get as our leaders. In other words, we deserved George W. Bush and we deserved his efforts to FALL THE USA EMPIRE. Please read: Reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire http://killeenroos.com/1/Romefall.htm and notice the similarities.

POPSIf you've got a bit of free time check this out... An online debate allowing you to view what the Dem candidates have to say. Choose your favorite or all of them. It's not ad lib but it does give a thumbnail of a window to observe what the presidential hopefuls have to say on certain issues that are important to us. I kept choosing Bill Maher's play button because it was also entertaining and during the political days ahead WE ALL NEED TO GET A LAUGH OR TWO whenever possible.
