POPSDear soldiers: Please come home safely - your puppies miss you As do many others. The dogs in the "I've never heard anything make a sound like this" clip are beagles, which explains the noise – that's the famed "bugling" they do. And the dog almost hurdling its owner is an Italian Greyhound: half spring, half rubber, half Mexican jumping bean. :lol:

POPSThose Stubborn Facts Sally Pipes notes in the Top Ten Myths of American Health Care: A Citizen's Guide , those making more than $75,000 per year are part of the fastest growing segment of the uninsured population. Those pushing for a major government intervention in health care are distorting the 46-million statistic to boost their cause, and by disseminating it so widely without further elaboration, the media is rigging the game in their favor. The Census figures also show that 18.3 million of the uninsured were under 34. Some in this age group may have simply determined that they are young and healthy and thus can do without coverage. When all of these factors are put together, the 2003 BlueCross BlueShield study determined that 8.2 million Americans are actually without coverage for the long haul, because they are too poor to purchase health care but earn too much to qualify for government assistance. Even being without insurance still doesn't mean they won’t have access

POPSRep. Sally Kern’s Proclamation for Morality
Sally Kern’s Party of Jesus, formerly known as the Republican Party, has found the cause of all of our woes, oh happy day! According to Sally, the nation's current problems are due to our overly permissive society’s acceptance and promotion of gays, abortion, divorce, and all around lack of Christian faith. From the Proclamation: NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we the undersigned elected officials of the people of Oklahoma, religious leaders and citizens of the State of Oklahoma, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world, solemnly declare that the HOPE of the great State of Oklahoma and of these United States, rests upon the Principles of Religion and Morality as put forth in the HOLY BIBLE. She’s a very conflicted person. She calls herself a Christian but hates people who do not follow her faith. In fact she and her Baptist preacher husband disowned one of their sons for being gay. How Christian is that? http://www.queerty.com/sally-kern-scrubs-gay-son-20080312/

POPSA major difference between conservatives and progressives Cont.... Even as Bush implemented one massive expansion of government power after the next -- the very "un-conservative" policies they long claimed to oppose -- there was nothing but (at best) the most token and muted objections from them. The handful of conservatives who did object were cast aside as traitors to the cause, and criticisms of the President became equated with an overt lack of patriotism. Uncritical support for the Leader was the overarching, defining attribute of conservatism, so much so that even Bill Kristol, in The New York Times, acknowledged: "Bush was the movement and the cause."
