POPSHow Leftist 'peace groups' are helping terrorists 
In Latin America, most of the peace groups involved in areas of conflict have a strongly Leftist orientation, which means they are eagerto make accusations against the United States and freely elected democratic governments, while maintaining relative silence about Leftist insurgents and the brutality of dictatorships in Cuba and Venezuela. This behaviour of Western peace groups follows a familiar pattern. During the 1970s and 1980s, Soviet bloc intelligence agencies were heavily involved in organising and directing the Western European peace movement. After the collapse of the East German regime in 1989, Western scholars were able to examine the files of the Stasi, the East German Intelligence Service, which provided a window into the thinking of many major Western Peace groups and the eagerness with which the peace groups accepted Soviet Bloc support and espoused the Soviet line. Many of the peace groups only protested about NATO policies while ignoring Soviet actions.

POPSObama Extends Hand, But America's Critics Keep Fists Clenched Probably because it wasn't all about Pres. Bush, his policies, or anything else other than America's ideology, it's power, it's prosperity. However, now that that's changing all our enemies can say whatever and ally themselves with each other to undermine and destroy us. Obama is weak; they are taking advantage of that.

POPSMichele Bachmann: Welfare Queen Bachmann’s financial disclosure forms indicate that her personal stake in the family farm is worth up to $250,000. They also show that she has been earning income from the farm business, and that the income grew in just a few years from $2,000 to as much as $50,000 for 2008. This has provided her with a second government-subsidized income to go with her job as a government-paid congresswoman who makes $174,000 per year (in addition to having top-notch government medical benefits). “If she has an interest in a farm getting federal subsidy payments, she is benefiting from them,”

POPSDripping Irony, Illinois Can't House Its Own Prisoners, Welcomes GITMO Terrorists state prison in rural Illinois to be the new home for a limited number of terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo. Administration officials as well as Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will make an official announcement at the White House. So Illinois is so broke it has prisoners, it has an empty prison, it can't afford to pay to put the inmates in the prison so it releases them and sells out. Hey ya'll remember what state our President was from? Yeah that's right Illinois. Just think, now the nation can benefit from the same leadership that Illinois politicians give their state.

POPSA Bill Of Rights--Now And Then "Research shows that students who have the opportunity to participate in simulations such as legislative hearings, mock trials and, yes, even constitutional conventions not only learn more but develop greater civic skills and interest in politics. Although we need to make sure our children are proficient in math and reading, it is vitally important to the future of our democracy that they also learn what it means to be a competent and involved citizen."

POPS Terrorists In The Heartland?
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid pre-empting Tuesday's announcement. A Durbin aide said the facility would house federal inmates and no more than 100 detainees from Guantanamo Bay. The facility in Thomson had emerged as a clear front-runner after Illinois officials, led by Durbin, enthusiastically embraced the idea of turning a near-dormant prison over to federal officials. The White House has been coy about its selection process, but on Friday a draft memo leaked to a conservative Web site that seemed to indicate officials were homing in on Thomson. The Thomson Correctional Center was one of several potential sites evaluated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons to potentially house detainees from the Navy-run prison at Guantanamo Bay. Officials with other prisons, including Marion, Ill., Hardin, Mont., and Florence, Colo., have said they would welcome the jobs that would be created by the new inmates. Closing Guantanamo is a top priority for Obama

POPSThe Siren Call Of Tyranny Why was that? "The totalitarian phenomenon," Revel observed years ago, "is not to be understood without making an allowance for the thesis that some important part of every society consists of people who actively want tyranny: either to exercise it themselves or—much more mysteriously—to submit to it." It was a temptation that proved to be remarkably resilient. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the once fellow-traveling European left had no choice but to admit that the god to which it had long rendered faithful service had been an illusion, and incurably dysfunctional to boot. Yet that grudging concession, as Revel observed, did little to chasten the former groupies of totalitar ianism. On the contrary, it served as a springboard for a fresh assault on liberal-democratic principles.

POPSChicago Welcomes You: Helping a unique immigrant community adjust to life in the US
More: The problem is that a process that was designed for, say, German Jews fleeing to America during World War II or political prisoners escaping Castro’s Cuba is now expected to work for immigrants who may never have seen a streetlight, cooked on a stove, used a toilet that isn’t a hole in the ground or handled any type of currency. Booklets and handouts provided by governmental agencies are too simplistic to be illuminating. And the Karen are more likely than previous refugee groups to be illiterate in their own myriad and distinct languages… Chicago Welcomes You, a venture to develop a kit of bilingual orientation materials…The kit includes a 94-page book, a set of 29 ring-bound activity cards and an illustrated storybook… The book and activity cards are broadly organized into chapters covering health, safety, housing and so on, and are designed for both organized and ad-hoc learning experiences with volunteers.

POPSFed rule halts red snapper fishing Oh well. How many jobs is this going to cut? I know....they'll hire the fishermen to be Federal officers patrolling the seas to catch those fish-violators. And can you imagine the price of one that makes it to the restaurant or supermarket? Will this help the fishing economy on the Left Coast? Wish the Feds would do something about the Chinese sucking oil from under our waters via Cuba.

POPSAmerica's regression Pew Poll, today: Public opinion about the use of torture remains divided, though the share saying it can at least sometimes be justified has edged upward over the past year. Currently just over half of Americans say that the use of torture against suspected terrorists in order to gain important information can either often (19%) or sometimes (35%) be justified. This is the first time in over five years of Pew Research polling on this question that a majority has expressed these views. Another 16% say torture can rarely be justified, while 25% say it can never be justified.

POPSDe-Fund Holder's Manhattan Transfer FTA: "No turbaned genie ever appeared out of Aladdin’s lamp to grant three greater wishes than these. KSM to Genie: One, I want to exploit my status as mass-murdering terrorist; Two, I want to inflict even greater pain and suffering on the families of those thousands whom I’ve murdered; Three, I want to make my trial a magnet for my brother jihadists throughout the world." This will make OJ's trial look like a Student Council meeting.

POPS Flunked Sun Tzu 101 Unfortunately it won’t alter the ambitions nor the operations of the Jihadists. Who, for the most part are undoubtedly intelligent enough to spot a sorely inept effort and stupefyingly vague result when they see one. Besides, the bottom line is that they don’t care what we call it. They are still calling it Death to America. The Obamodians unofficially renamed the Global War on Terror for themselves and their fawning surrogates in the media. Second, Commander in Chief Obama’s premature announcement to close the facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before solving the issues involved in the handling of inmates who will continue to be detained and eventually tried, reveals a lack of sound operational awareness. How will he manage the consequences of allowing enemy combatant inmates to be tried in federal courts, as if they were United States citizens, where the accused can choose to represent themselves? Self-representation that grants enemy combatants full access to

POPSThe Misfired Martyrs Motel at Guantanamo Bay Actually, Gitmo seems too nice for terrorists. Let’s send them some place worse.. like regular prison. And don't miss the video at the end. That's the best part of the clip. So Gitmo shuts down and the liberals move the murdering terrorists to a place like Illinois....or in their own backyards. I guess you need big brainzzzz to understand that logic.

POPSCensorship Alive And Well In Miami-Dade County, Florida I have a new blog entitled "Civil Rights & Wrongs," which I hope you will all visit. It still has a few bugs in how I envision it, but so far it seems to be off to a pretty good start. Here is the latest post, which discusses the U.S. Supreme Court's decision yesterday not to take up the "Vamos a Cuba" case, a case involving the removal of a children's book from the school library because the school board determined it painted an inaccurate picture of life in Cuba. My goal with this blog is to cover a wide array of civil rights issues, so if you are interested in any particular civil rights issues, court cases that may not be getting as much attention as they should, etc., please let me know.
