POPSPART TWO: What's RIGHT with AMERICA
I is for Internet - The last medium of freedom. Without it, we'd all still be plugged into the Matrix. J is for Juicing - Because drinking raw, living vegetable juices is perhaps the single best thing you can do for your own health. K is for Kayaking- And all the other stuff you can do in the great outdoors across America's amazing national and state parks. L is for Liberty - While we still have some left, it might be a good idea to protect it. M is for Meditation and Massage therapy - Both are really healthy, relaxing activities available all across America. N is for Nutritional supplements - Even though the FDA has tried to destroy the industry, you can still find an amazing assortment of nutritional supplements across the USA. O is for Organics - Thank God we have chemical-free foods and personal care products available -- and an organization working to protect them (www.OrganicConsumers.org). P is for the People - Without whom this nation would not exist. The A

POPSHey, Dunderhead, ... Most people DON'T carry guns. However, massive numbers of people do. But don't HATE those who do based purely on your ignorant and bigoted assumptions of gun carriers. Your ignorance is astoundingly more dangerous than any law-abiding, gun-toting, constitution loving citizen.

POPSPart ONE: Whats WRONG with AMERICA
H is for Health insurance (or lack thereof) – Just another financial scam to enslave Americans in a medical police state while denying them access to real health services. I is for Intellectual Property laws – Corporations already own patents on 20% of the human genome, including your genes. J is for Junk food – Is it junk? Or is it food? It looks like food, but nourishes like junk. Let’s all eat some more… K is for Krispy Kreme doughnuts – Because as long as we’re all gonna be clinically obese, we might as well die with a smile on our faces and donut powder on our lips. L is for corporate Lies – Just when you thought they ran out of ‘em, they miraculously come up with new ones. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027483_S…) M is for Mainstream Media and Mammograms – The Mainstream Media pushes mammograms, a brilliant technology for causing breast cancer and heart damage. N is for National debt – It’ll never be paid off, but it’s fun to watch it expand. I wonder what happens

POPS#youmightbedivisive if...... (more) TWEET your own thoughts if you're sick of partisans taking every new concept that gets uncovered with regard to how the parties are just tools of Corporatist/Government urges to allout tyrannical oneworld nannyism but using each one in the same old R vs.D paradigm. You know, like when you realize that both parties are vehicles to drive us away from a true American marketplace that thrived before the boom & bust bailout days (like,..oh,..pre 1960's, maybe pre 1970's) and each party is master of different aspects of the same Post-American end, and then someone says "Yea. Like Cheney & Haliburton. With Obama things will get better now." -OR- "Yea. Obama & SEIU & multi $T debt bailouts. Repubs. will get us back to the free-market." You just want to scream when you hear either one. ARRGGGHHHH! Just finish the phrase "you might be divisive if" and hit "update".

POPSUN presses Iran on nuclear site And I bet Iran is so concerned about that. s/off If the regime was not so dangerous this would be laughable. Mohamed ElBaradei has been in Iran's back pocket forever and he, the IAEA, and the UN have allowed Iran to get this far. How long will it be before Iran follows through with it's threats to annihilate (or try to) Israel?

POPSBillionaire's Son Hiding in Yemen: UK Rape-Murder Charges Arab Playboy
Highly trained soldiers want to get him because of this horrible example of injustice. "They have been used in Iraq. They said they are willing to get him and it has taken a lot of talking with them to get them to see it is not the way to go. "It would have to be very covert and it would be a tremendous political challenge. It would be much better if legal means could cause a breakthrough." A friend told the Standard: "The Yemen authorities are still holding out and the family can hide behind their constitution. The impression is they will not change their mind despite all the public pressure on them. "The father pretends there is nothing he can do as his son is a grown-up. It seems he is never going to be extradited for a British trial. "If they have not succumbed to pressure now, it is not going to happen. How can the world live with the fact some nation's citizens can be above the law?" Read more: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yhvw2k5

POPSbow-wow, now roll over and beg I agree with Scott Johnson, Steve Gilbert, Andrew Malcom, and many others that the President of the United States should not be bowing before any head of state. But unlike these astute observers, I actually know a little something about the art of the bow in Japan, having lived in Japan four different times on a resident visa, taught East Asian Studies at Harvard, and counseled many hundreds of American, European, Middle Eastern, and Australian executives on how to work and negotiate with the Japanese -- including teaching them the right way to bow. Watch Heads of state greeting the Japanese Emperor below: http://domania.us/Oaccess/OBAMA/BOW-Japan346H.gif

POPSUK Proposes Government Home Snoops and how is it all justified? (well apart from that thing about how all Britains are "subjects" and have no written rights other than that to cough up tax money and bow before their betters) About 100,000 children are admitted to hospital each year for home injuries at a cost of £146m.

POPSYet Another Obama Admin Power Grab Even the gaping hole that has been burned in the Constitution through the commerce clause can't cover this naked power play by the facist Obama administration. Yet nobody will even give a peep apparently. Probably because publicly education citizens are too stupid to read and understand the Constitution.

POPSMaybe next time he will run for EMPEROR! President Obama created a new presidential precedent when he bowed to the Japanese Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko Saturday. No president of the United States in the more than 230 years since the country was founded in 1776 had ever bowed to a member of royalty. That was until Barack Obama’s presidency. In April, President Obama bowed to the Saudi king during the G-20 meeting. At the time, Obama’s deferential bow was somewhat obscured, and the White House insisted that the president simply had leaned forward to shake the king’s hand. But the president's recent demonstration of royal deference to the Japanese emperor and empress suggests his earlier action was no aberration.

POPSSEIU Wants To Break Eagle Scout's Legs isn't it just a wonderful thing when government employees get together and want to threaten an Eagle Scout who is just cleaning up the crap that they refuse to do? Or won't do for less than $25 an hour.

POPSThe Cost Of This Imperative Will Be Paid For In Lost Freedoms
This bitter pill might be easier to swallow if the new left was at least honest in admitting that the cost of seeing this imperative through will be paid for in freedoms. These new Knights Templar have defended their cause with constant references to affordability and yet under their plan what is affordable ceases to be a subjective measure that each man can make for himself according to his individual needs and priorities. Rather it becomes an objective measure defined by the new “Commissioner of Health Choices.” Every American will be forced to purchase an insurance policy. The government will decide what benefits those policies must include. Even if you are happy with your current insurance plan you will have to switch to a policy that includes the government mandated benefits even if you don’t want them, will never use them and their inclusion will increase the price you pay for coverage. And suppose you decide for whatever reason that you are simply not going to pay? .....

POPSApparently, Communism isn't so bad anymore! Recall the liberals and their human-rights campaigns, which were directed to brutal regimes that were knowingly committing horrific human-rights abuses. Yet, today both conservatives and liberals are keeping their lips sealed with respect to the communist regime in China. Why, apparently communism isn’t so bad anymore. And apparently, human-rights abuses in China aren’t so bad either. Nonsense. Everyone knows that the China communist regime is brutal and is still severely punishing people for exercising fundamental human rights. What’s really going on is that neither the conservatives nor the liberals want to antagonize the regime that has loaned them the money to engage in their grandiose socialist programs at home and imperialist programs abroad.

POPSThe movie 2012 is Al Qaeda propaganda. "But there's one place that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn't: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It's the focus of prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important pilgrimage in Islam. "Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit," the filmmaker told scifiwire.com. "But my co-writer Harald said, 'I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.' And he was right."

POPSDem senator admits KSM trial a farce Even if he is acquitted he won't be released? How does that reflect well on our judicial system if he outcome is already decided? How does that make us better than they are? If they don't plan on releasing him if he is acquitted, why bother with a trial in the first place? This is nothing more than a dog and pony show.

POPSLadies of Arlington Never Miss Final Salute I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS. This story pulled at my heart strings. What a wonderful organization with such great and meaningful values to devote their time and to show respect to our fallen solders. The Arlington Ladies stand a silent vigil at funerals attended by dozens of mourners and at funerals where a Soldier has no next of kin - no friends present to render a final salute. In fact, that is the very reason they attend funerals. Since 1973, the Arlington Ladies have ensured that no Soldier - old or young - is ever buried alone.
