POPSOn Giving The Enemy The Rights of An American Citizen “Most Americans, we suspect, can overlook the legal niceties and see this episode through the lens of common sense. Foreign terrorists who wage war on America and everything it stands for have no place sitting in a court of law born of the values they so detest. Mr. Holder has honored mass murder by treating it like any other crime.” More at STACLU including Rudy Giuliani on KSM’s trial in NYC VIDEO (part1 & part2) http://bit.ly/7Prtu0

POPSHey Obama ~ Don’t Forget Deval Patrick!
a state political race by the president, and is a delicate one, given that Mr. Paterson is one of only two African-American governors in the nation. Hey Obama, as long as you’re meddling in state politics to undermine black governors, you might want to consider throwing Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick under the same bus. He’s way down in the polls, too! By the way, Mr. President, congratulations on the state politics-meddling re Ted Kennedy’s deathbed wish to reverse his 2004 request for a Massachusetts law that would have barred then-Gov. Mitt Romney from appointing a replacement to John Kerry in the event he … snort … excuse me … got elected president. With last week’s 95-58 vote in the Massachusetts House, it’s looking good. The President of the United States and others who do not reside in Massachusetts, such Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, have been meddling in local politics because they are worried that despite dominating House, Senate and White House . . .

POPSBoston PD Officer Barrett G-O-N-E, Says Mayor Thomas Menino But city lawyers cited Menino’s former Gotham counterpart, ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who triumphed in court when a cop sued after he was fired for racist behavior. According to reports at the time, Joseph Locurto donned blackface and joined others on the float who hurled watermelon slices at the crowd and re-enacted the brutal murder of James Byrd Jr., a black man dragged to death by white men months earlier. Separately, city lawyers said Barrett’s disciplinary hearing would not be held this week, according to court documents. Barrett’s attorney had raised concerns the cop, who is on paid administrative leave, would be fired for filing the lawsuit.

POPSCPAC Straw Poll Vindicates Ron Paul, Huckabee Distanced
Ron Paul in virtual tie for 2nd, with Palin, well above Huckabee. Conservatives, unlike the republican establishment, like Ron Paul's principles on economics, preserving Constitutional law and liberty, and apparently even foreign policy (surprise, surprise) over others . This shows that conservatives then are divided, and not ready to throw all their weight behind one lead candidate (i.e. Romney, a CFR member and RINO who has no real conservative or Constitutional record). It must be acknowledged that Ron Paul's principles are vindicated as attractive among conservatives, and been missing from the Republican party. While Romney won the poll this still means Republicans are out of touch with conservatives listening now to Paul outside the heat of political campaigns. The fact that he fairs so much better here than during the primaries (although he trampled Giuliani then) says that conservatives are awakening and listening to his message, finally.

POPSKilling That Little Monkey 3. What we have here, on the part of the NY Post, is a repeat of what Hillary Clinton did late in the primaries. Frustrated the contest was slipping away, she drew a connection between Obama's nomination and the assassination of Robert Kennedy. (See BNN's: Killing The Electricity.) In that case, she was trolling for votes by way of the scare tactic that Obama's charisma, paired with his race, made him a less likely bet in terms of his "durability." In this case, The Post is flat out playing on hate, taking aim at Obama (and blacks in general, as the monkey is black) by way of GOP hostility to the stimulus bill. 4. To the extent Bush was widely and broadly identified with the chimp (1, 2, 3, etc.), not to mention the historic destruction of the American economy, one very insidious thing the image does -- in proposing/swapping Obama for The Chimpster -- is to start to unravel the association.

POPSObama, Israel, and Foreign Policy--Key Supporters and Advisers More on what to expect from Obama as far as "change". It presents itself as centrist, but, in fact, on key issues is militant and hard line, especially on the Middle East. It advocates coercing Iran to surrender its sovereignty, knuckle under to Washington, or be unilaterally attacked if it won't, and gets its advice from "two leading Iran experts:" -- Michael Rubin of the right wing American Enterprise Institute, a former Giuliani advisor, closely allied to Bush neocons ; and -- Ken Katzman of the Congressional Research Service, a Middle East specialist who's ideologically allied with the right and no friend of Iran.

POPSPolitical Tactics: The Cloward-Piven Strategy Most Americans to this day have never heard of Cloward and Piven. But New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani attempted to expose them in the late 1990s. As his drive for welfare reform gained momentum, Giuliani accused the militant scholars by name, citing their 1966 manifesto as evidence that they had engaged in deliberate economic sabotage. "This wasn't an accident," Giuliani charged in a 1997 speech. "It wasn't an atmospheric thing, it wasn't supernatural. This is the result of policies and programs designed to have the maximum number of people get on welfare." Cloward and Piven never again revealed their intentions as candidly as they had in their 1966 article. Even so, their activism in subsequent years continued to rely on the tactic of overloading the system.

POPSThe Reign of Lame Falls Mainly on McCain The winner is Obama because now he can start hanging out in public with Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright again. John McCain is a winner because he can resume buying more houses. And for only the second time in her adult life, Michelle Obama was proud of her country. And we're all winners because we will never again have to hear McCain say, "my friends." After Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, Hillary Clinton immediately announced that, henceforth, she would be known as "Hillary Rodham Clinton." So maybe Obama can now become B. Hussein Obama, his rightful name. For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president. Starting tomorrow, if not sooner.

POPSGiuliani flattens temple Obama I mean really. I have NEVER seen this guy so fired -up. He tore the Obamination a new rear end. They won't be able to sit for a week! Next up was VP nominee Sarah Palin and she finished off the pieces of Temple Obama that Rudy didn't obliterate. THE BEST LINE- "Hope, is NOT a strategy!"

POPSBoy - How could I have said this?! The sway artists DO control the elections. Without the "good" opinions, a guy who actually knows economic issues as a winner in that arena, was demolished by the press. Oh, so subtly ------- REPORTER: "Today we look at whether a Mormon can get elected in the United States."--------- --------------- My ASS! Shake yourselves. We've been drifting to some hybridized freak nation of Socialism/capitalism/Communism/shadow-dictatorship since long before Bush and both parties are patsies, tools. Both are complicit, half-braindead useful idiots. I am off to Belize. There is no going back. America has had its day.

POPSVery Perceptive Column by Deepak Chopra cont.--virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of 'the other.' For millions of Americans, Obama triggers those feelings, but they don't want to express them. He is calling for us to reach for our higher selves, and frankly, that stirs up hidden reactions of an unsavory kind. (Just to be perfectly clear, I am not making a verbal play out of the fact that Sen. Obama is black. The shadow is a metaphor widely in use before his arrival on the scene.) I recognize that psychological analysis of politics is usually not welcome by the public, but I believe such a perspective can be helpful here to understand Palinʼs message. In her acceptance speech Gov. Palin sent a rousing call to those who want to celebrate their resistance to change and a higher vision. Read the rest, pls, for details...

POPSIncredible RNC Speeches of Huckabee, Giuliani, and Palin Well, they were "incredible"! That desk story was sent to me in an e-mail 6 years ago! Giuliani amazed me, I thought he was only able to say 9-1-1, good for him, he is progressing, I always thought he was more the progressive than he let on this past year or so, seriously look back at his positions prior to the race for the white house. As for Palin, she makes for good tabloid fodder, not much else, she seems a lot more likely to fit in on the Springer show than Oprah, so...
