POPSBaptist Church to Burn Bibles This one certainly belongs in the LOONY BIN because of the bazaar reasoning of this apparently misguided congregation. I wish I could say that this is an isolated case but I know far too many "KING JAMES ONLY" adherents who would probably applaud this behavior. In my post To King James or Not to King James I wrote at great length on this issue. There has been an ongoing controversy surrounding this issue, but the way this old bird sees things, the crazy antics of this Baptist church makes me wonder if reading the KING JAMES bible causes otherwise rational people to loose all reason. This pastor and his 14 followers have certainly flown over the cuckoos nest. And that is how I see it! Eagle Out!

POPSAnother lost Gospel found When Obama became a man he took Mary Michaela as his wife, and she was beautiful, and her wedding gift was a huge ass that could be seen for miles around their town of Bethlago. And Obama went to a temple and began preaching, and many were amazed that he spoke such sooth, saying 'Rabbi, rabbi, can you turn this water into some Paul-masson Chardonn'ay?' But Obama rebuked them, saying 'Let us not, at this point of time, pay heed to what are, in essence, mere beverages, and, we can now say with some certainty, are foodstuffs that, in time, will not necessarily raise our spiritual awareness for, as we now know, we have come to this moment where we can, in fact, make our views heard. Yes we can!' And grown men wept in amazement at such profound thoughts, though a few of the women of Bethlago muttered such things as 'He soundeth like a 10-year old talking through a pig's bladder', and 'Bring back King David Burning-Bush, at least he was funny'.

POPSRA's Daily Russian News Blast
US to modify or jettison missile defense plans? NATO chief to meet with Russian envoy; Lukaschenko sends out mixed messages. South Ossetia denies book burning; think tank leader says Putin could be heading for Brehznev-style decades in power; Medvedev finds inspiration on blogosphere. Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko has suggested the traditional ally of Russia must 'move away from dependence on just one country, even one that is near and dear to us'. The Moscow Times reports that the authoritarian leader has emphasized ties with Russia, whilst on a rare visit to EU-member state Lithuania. The Russian Foreign Minstry has said that the criminal investigation into charges of forgery against RIA Novosti's Tbilisi bureau chief is politically motivated. South Ossetia has denied bonfire-style burning of Georgian books and other classic works at the state university. An op-ed contributor in the Moscow Times is disturbed by what makes it onto Russian bookshelves.

POPSA Brief History Of Political Correctness In other words, facts do not bother the true believers. Their imaginary world is the real reality, the real world is only a temporary reality which is about to be changed. As Marx said, philosophers try to explain the world, the problem (for social scientists) is to change it. The particular ideology of the globalist left is traceable initially to Friedrich Engels and his book ˜The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State (1884), and it goes basically like this. Once upon a time man lived in a state of blissful communism where there was no hate, no crime, no violence or war, only universal love. This was possible because there was no private ownership of property. Everything was shared by all and allocated according to the principle ˜from each according to their ability, to each according to their need. In fact nobody laid personal claim to anything, not even their own body. There were no moral rules or restrictions, everybody was bisexual and

POPSLearning to Live with Islam by Mark Steyn Ah, right. That's the big worry, is it? If you're wondering why the link above doesn't go to Lucy Cockcroft's report itself, that's because the Telegraph's original story appears to have suddenly gone missing. Funny how that happens when the subject under discussion is Islam. I would imagine Sebastian Faulks was asked a straightforward question and gave an honest answer. Lux et veritas ("Light and Truth"), as they used to say at Yale. But I would bet that, in the long run, the Zakaria approach will prevail. (Full disclosure: Sebastian came to stay at my pad in New Hampshire to research a novel partly set in my neighborhood. Aside from a blazingly vivid description of the breakfasts I made him, don't pick it up if you're looking for glimpses of real life chez Steyn: He turned me into a woman and had sex with me. I thought of issuing a fatwa and burning down his publishers, but I'm not the type to make a fuss.)

POPShouse by the sea - iron and wine There is a house by the sea Two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me And one is laid on the floor And one is changing the locks on the doors And I've been buying the time on my knees And I've been selling their blankets to bleed (on) Around the house by the sea The scent of roses and raspberry leaves And there is smoke in my clothes Too much time with just smoke in my nose And I've been making the meaning they lack And I've been burning that book they come back too There is a house by the sea And an ocean between it and me And like the shape of a wave The jealous sisters will sing on my grave And I've been living to run where they led And I've been dying to rise from their bed And I've been sparing my neck from their chain And they've been changing the sound of my name And I've been swimming to them in my sleep And I've been dreaming our love and our freedom

POPSIsraeli Troops Humiliate Palestinians - and Put it on YouTube I'm more than appalled at the behaviour of the Israeli border guards. To make things even worse, youtube has decided to pull this video and others, showing this brutality. If we're ever going to be able to condemn and stop this kind of abuse, we have to made aware of it first and youtube's blatant censorship of this, and anything even remotely "uncomfortable" to them, is the equivalent of modern day book-burning! "Jewish Voices for Peace" appeal to everyone, to ask youtube to put the videos back up. You can read more about it and send youtube a letter, here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/301/t/9047/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1990

POPS Political Correctness Must Die . . . or by trying to censor the Internet. The particular ideology of the globalist left is traceable initially to Friedrich Engels and his book ˜The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State"™ (1884) The origins of political correctness are traceable to Germany, and the Institute for Social Research, established in 1923 by Felix Weil, Marxist son of a millionaire German trader, in association with Frankfurt University. The work of the Institute, which came to be called the Frankfurt School, was to translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms. Political Correctness as it is known today was created by that Institute. Essentially the task had been completed by the end of the 1930s. When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933 they closed down the Frankfurt School and its members, mostly Jews, fled to New York where the Institute was re-established with help from Columbia University . . .

POPSGung-Ho To Be The Romans If you think the insurgency in Iraq is bad, Madden writes, then you should have lived in Jerusalem in the first two centuries and dealt with Jewish terrorists who believed that their allies the Romans represented an evil that must be destroyed at any cost. The Romans, after much bloodshed, finally dealt with Jewish factionalism with brute force - legions retook Jerusalem, destroyed the Holy Temple and forced Jews to focus their religion more on synagogues and rabbinic studies than the Temple itself, blunting some of the messianic zealotry responsible for the violence. Madden believes that the lesson for America from this ancient insurgency is that the war on terror must be fought on the religious front as well. The only way to win both militarily and politically is to modernize Islam as the Romans changed Judaism to fit into their empire.

POPSChristian Child Abuse caught on tape Listen to this audio of a 9 year old girl being mentally abused. She is being forced to accept that Harry Potter put the devil in her. This is child abuse. People like this needs to be locked up, but because of a taboo we allow on discussing religion people like this are allowed to continue, often encouraged. Pardon me while I go throw up now

POPSThey're Lining Up At The HOG TROUGH . . . Again, Already, Yet So Soon ! ! ! The nerve of these maggots. Making 8-digit salaries, flying around in $36 million private jets... and coming to the HOG TROUGH asking for $25 billion in bail out money. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! The auto industry in US is dead... let them go into backruptcy. Then maybe the unions will buy them out (at book market price after bankruptcy) it will only cost about $2 billion... much better deal than having the tax payers foot a $25 billion bill. The union can then decide who will run it (no more 8-digit salaries) and what they will manufacture. My suggestion is that they re-tool to produce wind turbine generators, solar electrical equipment... and/or even bicycles. Let the Communist Chinese take over the auto industry... they deserve it... and if they don't make electric cars, etc., they will soon be bankrupt also.

POPSGermany 1935? Middle Ages? Fahrenheit 451? - Take Your Pick The article goes on to say, "Sadler said people should bring anything that represents Satan in their lives to the burning - it doesn't have to be book. "'Harry Potter' books, Goosebumps books, Ouija boards, etc..." Sadler said. He said the world needs to go back to the values that this nation was founded on, "biblical values". "This is a call to definition between what is good and evil; God and Satan," Sadler said. What's really dismaying about this newspaper item is that the heading gives the time and place as if this were a social event or a bake sale. "If my own father were a heretic, I would personally gather the wood to burn him" -- Pope Paul IV

POPSSustainability and Conservation Post about the "100 Mile Diet". I haven't read the book, but I do believe that we should eat local foods whenever possible. Not only does it save on fuels used in shipping - it tastes better, had more nourishment because it is fresher, and keeps us living in sync with the seasons.

POPSGeorge Carlin The first time I ever rode on a plane, my dad bought me "Brain Droppings" I must have been twelve and that book was way too inappropriate for me. I fell in love with it after the first page. George Carlin helped me to think for myself and taught me how to swear. I haven't stopped either of those things since. George Carlin.

POPSOrthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments. What next? Wonder how this went down with the Christian Zionist fundamentalists? Are they in rapture over the burning of the new testaments? So your welcome to boast the Zionist economy but don't bring your bible. So now we have the torture, the concentration camps, the assassinations, the ethnic cleansing, the Gaza prison, the slow starvation, the economic strangulation, the racism, the Arab holocaust to match the Nakba of 60 years ago, and on and on. And all with America's blessing. What next? Burning the Christians?
