POPSLibs Scold Black Conservatives: saying “Who the “H” Do You Think You Are?” Life is about choices. Liberals do a great disservice to minorities by constantly attempting to convince them they are eternal victims unable to achieve without liberal intervention. It has been said, “If you love someone, set them free”. --Lloyd Marcus (black) Unhyphenated American, Singer/Songwriter, Entertainer, Author, Artist & Tea Party Patriot ______________________________ Hey liberals, there are many BLACK conservatives, just as there are many GAY conservatives. In a world consisting of "tolerance," as defined by Webster, "liberal," the "literal" sense would be the norm, instead of the exact opposite There is nothing generous or tolerant about crushing, intimidating and silencing views other than your own Hand out free boots on your own time, and don't scold me for putting them on wrong. And the request for that boot tax you want on those "free boots" has been declined.

POPSThe Adam Lambert Problem When it comes to Adam Lambert, gay organizations should either ignore the guy or criticize him for helping foster the image that gay people are obsessed with sex and flaunting that in the public square. While many gay and lesbian singers, actors and talk show hostesses live their lives openly, they leave the sexual aspect of their lives where it belongs: behind closed doors. After Lambert’s recent stunt at the American Music Awards, he has certainly extended his fifteen minutes. I don't act like that and none of my gay friends act like that. Lambert is an idiot. He does nothing to improve the image of gay people. Neil Patrick Harris and Ellen De Generes he surely is not.

POPSC'mon, ACLU, go all in - fight Christmas Thanks to the ACLU, the whole world now knows what “torture” means in the United States: Sleep deprivation “insult slaps” water dousing “walling” (slamming a detainee’s head against a wall) Apparently, American-style torture consists of attending one of my college frat parties from 1993.

POPSThe Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama "American arms had won a decent outcome in Iraq, but Mr. Obama would not claim it—it was his predecessor's war. Vigilance had kept the American homeland safe from terrorist attacks for seven long years under his predecessors, but he could never grant Bush policies the honor and credit they deserved. He had declared Afghanistan a war of necessity, but he seems to have his eye on the road out even as he is set to announce a troop increase in an address to be delivered tomorrow."

POPSIraqi boy to Maj. David Howell: "Will you save me?"
Don't let this ruin your day libs. You can keep lying and saying stupid things about America tomorrow. Howell, who lives in Grand Ledge now works as a physician assistant for Flint cardiologists. "I felt an obligation as an American to do something for this family. If I was going to try to do something (for any family), this was it." Howell, 55, was on a mission to protect a gathering of Iraqi women and children last November in Ramadi, 70 miles west of Baghdad, when he first saw Mohammed. The women, widows of Iraqi policemen, were collecting government support. Mohammed's mother plunged into poverty after her husband was killed three years earlier by insurgents because he was an interpreter for American military forces, Howell said. She brought Mohammed to the gathering to show the women his injuries in hopes they would give her money. Mohammed made eye contact several times with Howell, who was serving as a physician assistant. Two days later, Howell tracked Mohammed

POPSThousands Gather For Stuffing Of Giant Rockefeller Center Turkey "I knew the crowds were going to be huge, but I wanted my son to be here on the day all the stuffing went in," said Cleveland resident Dean Carlson, who was visiting New York with his family. "You should have seen the look on his face when they peeled back the skin with that giant skidder. This is something he'll remember for the rest of his life." On Tuesday, gravy boats came up the Hudson River, while dump trucks heaped with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and boiled corn lined Sixth Avenue for nearly a mile. Several dozen workers have also been added to the payroll to shovel congealed fat and gristle off the sidewalks until the end of December. "You know the holidays are right around the corner when you can smell raw turkey from 50 blocks away," SoHo resident Stephen Finney said. "Thanksgiving in New York just wouldn't be the same without it." LOL

POPSRichard Tisei, Openly Gay Republican, Picked As GOP Gubernatorial Candidate's ... This doesn't surprise me in the least. Sometimes, when I talk to gay activists or “politically aware” gay people who support the various left-leaning national gay organizations about the Republican Party, they act as if the party was dedicated to the proposition that anti-gay attitudes are integral to the GOP. Yet, if they would spend the amount of time they spend decrying and moaning about the GOP on learning about the history of American conservatism, they might realize that the real animating principle of their movement is freedom. Homosexuality is, at most, incidental to conservative ideology–and we gay conservatives have long been working to make it a non-issue. Some may say, “Well, you support the GOP and Republicans are no better, perhaps even worse. And I’ll reply, yep, you’ve got a point, they aren't perfect, but the GOP doesn't treat our community like a cash cow, milking it when they need funds and hiding it in the barn when they fear it might offend the neighbors.

POPSPortraits of Native Americans taken between 1915-1920 These prints were recently uncovered by Denver Post librarians, tucked away in a folder in a file cabinet. The captions were hand written on the back of each print. Along with the prints, a page of the Denver Post newspaper showed that the prints were featured in the January 30, 1974 newspaper. On the page, the following text accompanied the prints: William Pennington and Lisle Updike formed their business partnership about 1908 and opened a portrait studio in Durango, Colorado. The two young photographers supported themselves with their portrait business, but satisfied their artistic urges by traveling around the Four Corners area in a wagon taking pictures such as the ones in the clip.

POPSFor Veterans Day — Real Troop Support "According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, nearly 42 million American men and women have served during wartime. Nearly 1.2 million died while serving. Nearly 1.5 million were wounded. Since 9/11, more than 5,200 have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 36,000 have been wounded — many have debilitating injuries that have changed their lives forever. We may debate the rightness or wrongness of various engagements, but we know that freedom comes at a steep price — and we honor those who have secured it for us."

POPSStone Age Humans Crossed Sahara in the Rain Wet spells While about 40 per cent of hydrocarbons in today's dust come from water-dependent plants, this rose to 60 per cent, first between 120,000 and 110,000 ago and again from 50,000 to 45,000 years ago. So the region seemed to be in the grip of unusually wet spells at the time. That may have been enough to allow sub-Saharan Stone Age Homo sapiens to migrate north: the first fossils of modern humans outside Africa date from 93,000 year ago in Israel. And both genetic analysis and archaeology show that humans didn't spread extensively beyond Africa until 50,000 years ago, suggesting a second migration at the time of the second wet spell. Fossil record Ian Tattersall of the American Museum of Natural History in New York is impressed by the findings. "They tie in approximately with the information we have from the fossil record."

POPSSleep Amnesia: Why Do We Forget Our Dreams? The Mind in Sleep: Psychology and Psychophysiology mentions dream kinesthesia as a potential suspect. It happens when we lose the physical movements in our sleep as soon as we physically move after waking up (such as when we reach for the alarm clock). Another possibility is that our memories are formed through repetition and finding connections to other parts of our lives. So when dreams are especially unique (read: crazy) or too undefined to be relatable, it’s harder to tie them to real-life events and remember them. Christof Koch, points out the incongruity between our brains’ being so active during REM sleep (the deep-sleep stage in our sleep cycles) and only vaguely recalling dream details when we awaken. brain waves that roll through during deep sleep may impede information processing. This is a more scientific approach to the brain-recall conundrum.

POPSUm, Kenya? You guys OK? Finishing fourth in the men's category was another American, Ryan Hall. Hall, 27, is a rising star on the world running circuit and made headlines last year by running the London marathon in a stunning 2:06:17. Americans once dominated long-distance running, bringing home consecutive gold medals from 1970-82. Marathon legend Bill Rodgers won the New York City four years in a row from 1976 to 1979, and Alberto Salazar took walked away with successive victories from 1980-82. The marathon, which began in 1970 with a mere 127 runners, now hosts 38,000 athletes from around the globe, according to the marathon's Web site. Known for its diverse, punishing terrain, the annual event spans all five of New York's City's boroughs, finishing in the heart of Central Park. Keflezighi and Tulu will each receive $130,000 in prize money.

POPSA woman dies of breast cancer every 13 minutes in the United States *** BOOBIES ALERT *** Colleges around my area are promoting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A paper I was handed by a student indicated that every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer? It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women and the chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman’s life is about 1 in 8. African-American women are more likely than white women to die from breast cancer. Lesbians are at a higher risk of breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers because they are less likely to have children by age 30, if at all. Just wanted to pass this information along. I'm doing my best to keep abreast of the situation.

POPSAFSCME, one of America's largest unions, takes on Obama McEntee led workers in chanting a barnyard epithet to describe Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus’s health care bill, which would levy a new tax on expensive health care plans. He published an op-ed in U.S.A. Today warning, in terms that could be used against Democrats in the midterms, that the plan could tax the middle class and cost workers their health care. And he blew off a plea from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and published an open letter promising to “oppose” legislation that contained the tax – published over the objections, several labor officials said, of other union presidents whose names appeared on the letter.

POPS7 y/o boy not aware of his brain cancer; mom tells him he's a superhero Enter Dave Anderson, who manages a local restaurant and had gotten to know Dominic and his family, said the Sun. When he heard about the child's coping mechanism -- his mental transformation into the Dominator -- Anderson was floored. "Dominic is an awesome kid," he told the Sun, "who never got scared at what he had to go through. He really is the superhero in this story." To share that story, Anderson paid for the design and production of a Dominator comic book. He published 2,000 copies last month, of which half have already been sold. All proceeds will benefit children's cancer research.

POPSAmerican Troops in Afghanistan [PICS FROM OCT 2009] So there ya have it folks. American troops, helping the kids, bandaging their feet, reassuring them....in photos......oh wait, excuse me....this is called "celebrating slaughter......"....my bad. If you're dumb enough to believe our Americans are in Afghanistan, "celebrating slaughter," then not only are you out of your evil minds, but you can suck it.

POPSThe Worst Nicknames In MMA These are funny....dudes need better PR reps.... Imes is an interesting dude. He played pro football in the Arena League and was a combatant on the 2nd season of “The Ultimate Fighter”. But his agent or whoever came up with the nickname must have thought he was trying out for the country-music version of American Idol or WWE-type wrestling. Seriously–The Hillbilly Heartthrob? Who does he think he is? Billy Ray Cyrus? Wouldn't surprise me if there are fans that want him to lose solely because of his nickname.

POPSBeware kids, while you’re singing his praises, Obama wants to get rid of Summer vacation While I think that it is a good idea to talk about modifying the 180-day, September-June school calendar that has become as much an American tradition as fireworks on the 4th of July, I don’t quite see the need for this to become a national issue, or for the Federal Government to mandate that schools modify their calendars based on a decision made by a bureaucrat in the Department of Education. As with most things in the education field, this is a matter best left to school boards at the local and state level and to the parents of the children being educated. But then again, what the hell does Obama care about American tradition....unless he's apologizing for it....

POPSAssassinating President George Bush in 48 seconds Yet liberals are a miserable bunch. For them, wish fulfillment means there’s no happy ending. "Death of a President" - So apparently portraying the assassination of President Bush back in 2007 is what passed for cinematic art. What is it about the World Left and their fantasies about assassinating Republican Presidents? They romanticize endlessly about the murderous Che Guevara without ever letting people know his deadly history. You can’t get them to be honest about the threat of Islamic extremism…well, the one guy that was honest about it was murdered for it (Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh) with nary a cry from Hollywood about how it represented at the very least a suppression of the right to free speech. But it's for sure you can get them making logically absurd and politically one-sided movies about genocidal American soldiers, the “righteousness” of assassinating Richard Nixon and George Bush.

POPSIf “Mark Twain Said It,” He Probably Didn’t In America, Shapiro said that “people associated with folksiness” such as Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, and Yogi Berra are the big quote magnets. Another folksy fellow is George W. Bush, who often gets credit for the supposed Bushism “strategery,” which was actually coined by Bush impersonator Will Ferrell on Saturday Night Live. Similarly, the Sarah Palin one-liner “I can see Russia from my house” is a Tiny Fey-ism, not a Palinism. Shapiro believes that Palin could be the next big quote magnet, and that “stupid quotes in the future will get pinned on her.”

POPSObama calls it WMD: Terror threat seen as 'most serious' since 9/11 attacks Obama admin. says explosives = WMD Iraq had massive amounts of explosives in 2003 Ergo Iraq had WMD The American people get this. The left’s obsession with the rights of terrorists finds no support among sensible citizens. But the issue’s been hijacked by the America-hating zealots who shaped our president’s worldview and by media scoundrels who would rather have their country die for them. I guess we can put the whole "Bush lied, blah blah blah" crap to bed now that Obama's Justice Department has declared high explosives to be weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was, and remains, awash in high explosives. Ipso facto. However when it is shown, absolutely, that Obama lies every time his lips move, liberals do not seem to notice. Some say the left has a double standard. I say they have no standards whatsoever. Probably the fault of the Jews for beaming high intensity radiation at liberal heads. /s

POPSImmortality only 20 years away says scientist No thanks, I don't want to live forever. "Ultimately, nanobots will replace blood cells and do their work thousands of times more effectively. "Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen. "Heart-attack victims – who haven't taken advantage of widely available bionic hearts – will calmly drive to the doctors for a minor operation as their blood bots keep them alive. "Nanotechnology will extend our mental capacities to such an extent we will be able to write books within minutes. "If we want to go into virtual-reality mode, nanobots will shut down brain signals and take us wherever we want to go. Virtual sex will become commonplace. And in our daily lives, hologram like figures will pop in our brain to explain what is happening. "So we can look forward to a world where humans become cyborgs, with artificial limbs and organs."

POPSOsama bin Laden Message Surfaces in Wake of 9/11 Anniversary Bin Laden also links President Obama to the Bush Administration, saying "the sour reality is that the new administration is still covering you in the shroud of darkness. So how's that "appeasement" working out for you Dems? The 11 minute audio message was released in a video from al Qaeda's as-Sahab's propraganda arm. The title, "Message to the American People" is superimposed over an artist's rendition of the New York City skyline with the World Trade Center towers still standing. Oh yeah, but Bin Laden is dead, right?
