POPSALERT: Vulnerable Democrats Could Help Kill ObamaCare! America Rising: An Open Letter to Democrat Politicians COMING NOV 2, 2010 We elected you on a promise of hope and change. We regret it. In 2010, we are taking the country back. Blue collar democrats, independents, and conservatives. We love our country. We are proud of our founders. And we will fight to protect our traditions. We don't want your revolution. America Rising VIDEO (3:11) http://bit.ly/81vOH1 FreedomWorks We use these metrics because grassroots works because politicians want to get reelected and those who are vulnerable know they have to listen. The recently announced retirements of several House members and Sens. Dorgan (D-ND) and Dodd (D-CT) will make these vulnerable members even more likely to listen to us. We only need to get 3 to change their votes in the House where the bill barely passed 220-215. Both chambers will have to vote again once the differences in the bills are sorted out, but time is short.....

POPSSoviet Defector Warns of Socialism of Democrats "Alas, now the virus of Marxism with its fatal governmental takeovers has started infecting our shores. If the Democratic Party has its way, it will transform the United States into a socialist country in all but name. The 2010 elections could prevent that catastrophe from happening.

POPSEric- Isn't your health plan-Everyone eat healthy - like Republicans' - "Don't get sick. If you do, die quickly"?
Being able to imagine unreal but happy solutions to complex problems that our country is facing is a fun game; but let's not deceive ourselves that we know how to do it better and are superior humans to our elected Democratic representatives who are working their asses off, and now under the threat of death for real-world health care reform. With the Republicans pushing back against the Dems, and whipping them as they work, it is clear they are carrying out the wishes of the tea-baggers. For example, they are following those tea-baggers who -- seen in a clip shown on "Hardball" with Chris Mathews only yesterday -- dressed up as Pelosi, Obama, and another Democrat working hard for this country, and wearing masks of these politicians, played out being chained together like slaves… with ripped clothing, fake blood all about them, acted out being in pain, while other tea-baggers whipped these "slaves" (in effigy). So while Republicans sit on their hands and attempt to brin

POPSCzech Wounds Still Open, Communists Face a Ban “We believe the Communist Party should be suspended until they give up the title of ‘communist’ and denounce Marx and Lenin, who regarded violence as a legitimate means of gaining power,” Mr. Stetina said. “Not even the millions of dead bodies, which are the consequence of Lenin’s policies, have convinced the Czech Communist Party to abandon his teachings."

POPSMichael Yon "Arrested" At Seattle Airport! 1.5.2010 Military Blogger Michael Yon Arrested In Seattle By Airport Security For Not Answering Questions Questions about his income. Which is related to flight security how, exactly? From his Facebook page: Got arrested at the Seattle airport for refusing to say how much money I make. (The uniformed ones say I was not “arrested”, but they definitely handcuffed me.) Their videos and audios should show that I was polite, but simply refused questions that had nothing to do with nationalsecurity. Port authority police eventually came"they were professionals"and rescued me from the border bullies. From a separate entry: When they handcuffed me, I said that no country has ever treated me so badly. Not China. Not Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Definitely not Singapore or India or Nepal or Germany, not Brunei, not Indonesia, or Malaysia, or Kuwait or Qatar or United Arab Emirates.

POPSIsrael develops 'Kosher bomb' to counter Iranian threat 'It is lawful to use pork chops and bacon if it is for the defense of home and country', said Rabbi Menahan of the Orthodox sect. 'Of course, this can only be considered Kosher in the most dire of circumstances -- which we now have.' Some doubted that this Kosher bomb would be effective, but Nathan was certain it would serve as a deterrent. 'In Islam, anything made from the flesh of a pig is considered to be haram (wrongful, forbidden). If this super-weapon were deployed against Iran, the entire country would become haram, and all those who believe in Allah would be required to drop everything and flee.' In Iran, Ayatollah Wannabe was enraged by the news. 'Now that we know how the Kosher bomb works, we will develop our own counter-deterrent', he said. 'We will develop a 'haram-bomb' based on pork roasts and cutlets, and render Israel uninhabitable for the Jews.'

POPSService and Homecoming With PTSD: A Vet's Story This article is worth reading in its entirety. The honesty and vulnerability of the author is most unusual and insightful. More from the article below: " I want everyone to know that I appreciate all the support our country has given the troops. I received packages in Iraq from schools, Boy and Girl Scout troops, Rotary Clubs and other volunteer groups. I really appreciated all the effort and time that went into trying to make our lives there a little bit better. So for all the problems I have, feeling supported is not one of them and I want to thank you all for your support. Just understand that none of us came back the same as when we left."

POPSYemen terror camps attract 'stream of Britons' Security officials in Yemen said today that 29 al-Qaida suspects had been arrested as part of a new crackdown on the terrorist group. "There is a steady stream of people travelling to Yemen and travel to Yemen is something that is of concern to us," said a UK security source. Tonight, al-Qaida militants in the region posted a statement on the internet claiming responsibility for the failed bomb attempt, which it said was meant to avenge US attacks on the group in Yemen. The statement called for the killing of western embassy workers in the region warning of "all-out war on the crusaders"

POPSCity Slickers Head to the Country For More Security Motivations can vary, but typically there are three groups: young people buying land as an asset or investment, with vague hopes to live on it someday; exurban commuters who have jobs in big towns or cities but want to escape the sprawl; and back-to-the-land types who want to dabble in hobby farming.

POPSDCCC: Obama 'more aggressive in fighting al Qaeda' than Bush Does this make anyone else just gag?!! What they call 'scoring points' I call sounding the alarm. And as far as putting "country before political party" concerning national security...that's just an outright lie and to suggest that we need to "learn from this episode" is the height of idiocy. Conservatives have looooong been aware of the ongoing and dangerous advancement of radical Muslim jihadists; we learned it already! How about the DCCC stop with the rhetoric and join the fight.

POPSThe US Military Is Exhausted These troops refuse deployment for a variety of reasons: some because they ethically oppose the wars, some because they have had a negative experience with the military, and some because they cannot psychologically survive another deployment, having fallen victim to what has been termed "Broken Joe" syndrome. The voices of refusal coming from within the US military send a powerful message that soldiers will not be fodder for an unjust and unnecessary war. And the longer the war in Afghanistan drags on - the more lives that are lost and destroyed - the more resistance we will see coming from within the ranks.

POPSTiger Woods to be Deployed to Afghanistan Asked by one reporter how building golf courses would contribute towards US counterinsurgency strategy, Woods replied: 'It's about winning hearts and minds and connecting with the people. Most of the Taliban are not fighting for ideology, but out of sheer boredom. I believe the spiritual and healing qualities of golf can succeed where bullets and tanks have not. '

POPSThe Holiday Gift This Country Needs "We also need to invest in our infrastructure, and not just the obvious physical things like our old bridges and trains but more importantly our human infrastructure. We must continue to push for "Medicare Part E - Everybody" - so we can rebuild the social safety net to encourage entrepreneurialism - and along those lines let's fix the bankruptcy bill, and strengthen social security. Finally, we need to think of work differently. Lincoln once said that labor is superior to capital because it precedes it. Nobody gets rich until somebody makes something. We once had an economy that valued laborers - the true producers of wealth - and the middle class. You know. almost everything on this gift list was, in their day, enthusiastically endorsed by Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower. And Barry Goldwater. And Richard Nixon. Somehow this country went insane in 1981 when Reagan took power and declared that "greed was good" and America was to be reinvented."
