POPSWhat Obama Might Look Like If He Read Polls And Michael Barone's Column
He had already realized that his sentiments were leading him away from the Whigs and toward the new Republican party, and in 1856 he became a Republican. He quickly came to the fore in the party as a moderate opponent of slavery who could win both the abolitionists and the conservative free-staters, and at the Republican national convention of 1856 he was prominent as a possible vice presidential candidate. Two years later he was nominated by the Republican party to oppose Douglas in the Illinois senatorial race. Accepting the nomination (in a speech delivered at Springfield on June 16), Lincoln gave a ringing declaration in support of the Union: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." The campaign that followed was impressive. Lincoln challenged Douglas to a series of debates (seven were held), in which he delivered masterful addresses for the Union and for the democratic idea. He was not an abolitionist, but he regarded slavery as an injustice and an evil .....

POPSWhen Sleight of Hand Is Used to Pass an Unpopular Bill by Michael Barone prohibiting slavery in territories north of Arkansas and substituted popular sovereignty -- territory residents could vote slavery up or down. We cannot say with assurance that the Kansas-Nebraska Act was unpopular -- Dr. Gallup didn't start polling until 81 years later. But the results of the next election were pretty convincing. The Republican Party was suddenly created to oppose the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the 1854-55 elections transformed the Democrats' 159-71 majority to a 108-83 Republican margin. Democrats didn't win a majority of House seats for the next 20 years. Nor did the Kansas-Nebraska Act settle the issue it addressed. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers fought it out in "bleeding Kansas," and Douglas felt obliged to break with the Democratic administration and disown election-stealing by the pro-slavery side. The issue roused a former congressman named Abraham Lincoln to re-enter politics, and he beat Douglas in the popular vote (but not in the legislature)

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."

POPSThe party of "government" is the end game. Wise up! Will losing the health care battle keep the "Government Party" from growing in strength and power over the electorate? No. Until we vote all of the power-mongers out we will not have a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

POPSAre the Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant Hidden...in Denmark?!? "It is undeniable that those who planned and built the churches of Bornholm knew exactly what they were doing and why they did it,'' the authors say. The authors point to a find of nearly 3,000 tiny, intricately carved golden figures unearthed in a 1985-86 excavation of a Bornholm field as lending credibility to their claim of a Bornholm connection. The golden figures have been dated to AD 400-600 when the Merovingians -- a clan of Frankish kings who claimed to be, like Jesus, of the house and lineage of the Bible's King David -- were at the height of their power. Descendants of the Merovingians later settled in Burgundy. In medieval times, the island was known as Burgunderland or Burgunderholm. The book also quotes a AD 417 work by Spanish historian Orosius, which says the Burgundians came from Bornholm. http://www.rense.com/general6/baltic.htm *LOL* I love stuff like this. .:p

POPSWe Always Give Thanks.
The ocean of fratricidal blood in the war following Lincoln's election would be the worst thing to happen in America's history. For decades after the Civil War, cripples and amputees roamed city streets. The wounds would take a century to heal. Still, in 1859, Americans gave thanks. In 1934, seventy-five years ago, our nation was firmly in the thrall of the Great Depression. The unemployment rate was near the highest level in American history, about twenty-five percent, and the patent medicine of FDR's Neal Deal was making things worse. Our government dropped the gold standard and piled up federal debt at an alarming rate. Hitler was consolidating his wicked power in Germany. Holomodor, the mass extermination by deliberate starvation of perhaps ten million Ukrainian men, women, and children, showed the depths of Stalinist evil and danger. Japan had annexed Manchukuo and was obviously scheming to grab more of China. Sober and caring Americans might well have asked in 1934: How, by

POPSWhy are Healthcare and Military Costs So High? Theft! The word "shoddy" comes from a descriptin for civil war uniforms made from scrape wool that would fall apart in the rain. Shoddy, is an apt description for the ethics of the companies listed below, which even after paying huge fsetlements for false claims are still getting government contracts. We have met the enemy - and he is us because we continue to vote for those who will not manage and do their job.
