POPSThe Top 10 Conservatives of 2009 A poster was correct to point out that Mark Levin's name should have been included. I'd be interested to know if there are others that should have been included.

POPSGOP'S NEW PRAYER GURU "Engle's role as leader of TheCall has now received some mainstream media notice but the source of his influence is still largely unknown. Lou Engle serves, alongside Sarah Palin's prayer group leader Mary Glazier, on the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, one of the key leadership groups wielding influence over a sprawling, global new incarnation of the religious right known as the New Apostolic Reformation. Peter Wagner was advisor for Rick Warren's dissertation for a Doctorate of Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. In a mid-December statement from Rick Warren, Letter To Uganda's Pastors, Rick Warren lied about his connection to Wagner."

POPSReid Bill Says Future Congresses Cannot Repeal Parts of Reid Bill
i'm not even sure that it's constitutional, but if it is, it most certainly is a senate rule. i don't see why the majority party wouldn't put this in every bill. if you like your law, you most certainly would want it to have force for future senates. i mean, we want to bind future congresses. this goes to the fundamental purpose of senate rules: to prevent a tyrannical majority from trampling the rights of the minority or of future congresses. According to page 1001 of the Reid bill, the purpose of the Independent Medical Advisory Board is to "reduce the per capita rate of growth in Medicare spending." For any fearmongers out there tempted to call an unelected body that recommends Medicare cuts a "Death Panel," let me be clear. According to page 1004, IMAB proposals "shall not include any recommendation to ration health care"--you know, just like the bill says there's no funding for abortion. Paging Sarah Palin: the death panel is unkillable.

POPSPlaying A Character Palin and those conservative women who aspire to be like her love living in ignorance. They have been eating, sleeping, and working in pollution so long that they not only believe that is just the way the air is, but they advocate the air is not polluted and actually good for you. They buy into that twisted kind of logic because their survival and identity depends upon it. The stress of having to pretend to be innately superior at all times and buy into this belief system is more than the human organism can tolerate so they become angry, hateful, intolerant wanna be bullies who aspire to have a Sarah Palin book under their Christmas tree. To challenge them or doubt them is akin to heresy. Too bad they are buying into the myth that states there is only one reality because it limits the search in seeking any understanding for other human beings. Sad and pathetic.

POPSSome Gay Lefties Won’t Date Palin Supporters Yeah, this explains the "tolerance" of the gay left, no doubt about it. Link to hillbuzz: http://hillbuzz.org/2009/12/13/sarah-palin-prevents-gay-men-from-dating/ Don't listen to the haters Sarah. Those left-leaning queens are just jealous because you look better in a dress than they do. Thanks for posting this Dan. Well said.

POPSSarah Palin's Lesbian Friend "And if Palin’s lesbian friend were to fall in love with a lovely Russian lesbian that she could see from Alaska—and enter into an adult personal relationship with that Russian—Sarah Palin doesn’t think her lesbian friend’s lover should be able to emigrate to the United States. But, hey, at least Sarah Palin refuses to judge her lesbian friend—and that’s something, right? It’s not equality or fairness or respect or full enfranchisement, of course, but it’s… um… something."

POPSWhat I Notice About Palin-Bashers 5. A lot of them are ready to vouch for other women in power who are relatively homely and frumpy, like Hillary Clinton. 6. They breathe hard and their pulse quickens. I haven't run into too many people who are ready to calmly explain Sarah Palin's lack of qualifications. 7. Their laughter, in response to Palin jokes, is forced. 8. Their lofty opinions of the minimal requirements for the offices Palin has sought, or might seek, is selective. When the topic of conversation shifts to Joe Biden, suddenly it seems the Vice Presidency doesn't demand a whole lot out of anyone. 9. They don't seem to think it takes a whole lot to govern Alaska, or to even live there. They don't appear to think very highly of Alaskans. 10. A lot of people claim to like her personally, just don't "feel" (see Item #4 above) that she's "right";

POPSPalin, Schwarzeneggerr Climate Dispute Heats Up Palin is right. Schwarnenegger needs to be in California fixing it's economy and handling his state's serious problems instead of hanging out in Copenhagen. Before her VP nomination, her record in Alaska was pretty good. Arnold can't say the same thing.

POPS Sarah Rocks on Conan's Reading Duo With William Shatner Earlier this year, I linked to a Palin-friendly interview Andrew Breitbart did on Neil Cavuto. In it, he set Gov. Palin a challenge: Cavuto: "What should she do?" Breitbart: "I think she just continues being Sarah Palin and I think that she needs to go out there and show that she has a fight in her because this is like Rocky Two: Can this person come back from a drubbing?" After the launch of her mega-bestselling autobiography, her whirlwind book tour, her knock 'em dead appearance at the Gridiron dinner, and her awesome head to head with William Shatner on the Tonight Show, I think we can safely say the answer to that question is 'yes'. Or rather: hell yeah! And when I mean connected, I really mean connected. Not just showing a likable personality - funny, smart, willing to have a laugh at her own expense - but connecting at a more basic level; the level which defines what really makes people American. http://bit.ly/8GtMHe

POPSParting Ways With The Right Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.) Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source) And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff. I won’t be going over the cliff with them.

POPSWorld Leaders Send Apologies for Climate Change ... from the Future More Ghost Malls The Morning News has a remarkable photo gallery of deserted malls and big-box stores. Most of the pictures are from 2008 and 2009. In the accompanying interview the photographer, Brian Ulrich, explains how he finds these locations and what he thinks should be done with them: I personally would like to see many of the spaces simply be turned back into fields, woods, and natural landscape, rather than trying to discover some profound solution. Of course, there are lots of other ideas for what to do with deserted malls. http://www.good.is/post/More-Ghost-Malls/

POPSClimategate Gaining Traction in Liberal Media - Even in New Jersey I recently heard a New York radio broadcaster, whose name I won't reveal because I appear on his show now and then, mislabeling CO₂ as "soot." The column goes on to quote a Princeton physics professor, William Happer: In Happer's opinion, the carbon-control movement is really a population-control movement. He traces it back through the "Population Bomb" movement of the late 1960s all the way to the 18th-century writings of Thomas Malthus. Other scientists have said the same, but Happer says it the loudest. He terms the IPCC crowd a "religious cult" and says, "Disagreeing with them is like going to Saudi Arabia and criticizing Muhammad." As for the media, we've been guilty of putting our faith in the carbon cult as well, he said. By running the Politico column and the op-ed column today, the paper has finally turned the heat up on the climate elites, ending the three week-long deep freeze.
