POPSKucinich: Why I voted NO I'm so torn. I think we should have fought harder for a single-payer bill, even though I know that would have been a much harder battle. But I don't think that voting no on this was the solution, either. As much as I would like BIG CHANGE, I know that can't happen in one fell swoop. Baby steps, unfortunately, will get us to that final goal. Hopefully, the public will realize, soon, that we need single payer!

POPSBritain's Lord Monckton Warns About Dangers of Climate Change Treaty - Video 10/30/09
Bolton thinks the treaty is dangerous, but is not prepared to go as far as Monckton yet. But he said it does have the potential to do great damage. Even if Obama signs it, it would require a two-thirds vote of the U.S. Senate to ratify the treaty and make us bound to the terms. Fascinating discussion. The Amazing Story Behind the Global Warming Scam By John Coleman January 28, 2009 (Revised and edited February 11, 2009) Back in the 1960s, this global warming research came to the attention of a Canadian born United Nation's bureaucrat named Maurice Strong. He was looking for issues he could use to fulfill his dream of one-world government. Strong organized a World Earth Day event in Stockholm, Sweden in 1970.

Strong developed the concept that the UN could demand payments from the advanced nations for the climatic

POPSShould Kids Recite Flag Code Along With The Pledge Of Allegiance The first Flag Code came during a time of similar national upheaval. In 1942, Congress passed the first resolution to endorse flag etiquette, including the proper way to fold, display and dispose of the flag. Massachusetts entered the debate in 1970, when Leominister teenager Valerie Goguen was sentenced to six months in jail for using an American flag patch on a pair of jeans. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction in the 1974 case Smith v. Goguen. Goguen still lives in Leominster, and is still adamant that the case is about love for the flag.

POPSGun show "loophole" All of this is being driven by the IACP the International Association of Chiefs of Police who are "consultants" to the UN since the 1970's and who has partnered with the gun banners-The Joyce Foundation. These guys are the drivers behind most of the federaliztion/militirization of police departments as well as being the proponents of "Intelligence Led Policing" and "COPS" Community Oriented Policing. The IACP is responsible for the policy, guidelines, promotion and placement of the Fusion concept that has led to the development of America's new Stasi-like system of domestic intelligence.

POPSDNA test shows Hitler skull is that of a woman A year later, skull fragments were dug up by Russian forces which seemed to confirm Hitler had shot himself in the bunker. In 1970, the KGB cremated Hitler’s remains except for the skull fragment. Dr Bellantoni was sceptical about the theory the skull fragments belong to Eva Braun, who was with Hitler in the bunker where he supposedly died. "There is no report of Eva Braun having shot herself or having been shot afterwards. It could be anyone. Many people were killed around the bunker area," he said.

POPSA Letter to Congress: With All Due Respect, Are You Crazy? It took good dependable cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments. So with a perfect 100 percent failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system? 20 percent of our entire economy? With all due respect: Are you crazy? Brought to you by the editors and research staff of FamilySecurityMatters.org. Editor’s note: We don’t know who wrote this – it’s making the rounds on the Internet – but we agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment.
