POPSThe Victims of Fort Hood
According to an officer who served with him at Walter Reed Hospital, Hasan spoke approvingly of the shooting of Army recruiters this past summer by a Muslim convert in Little Rock, Arkansas. Authorities also investigated Hasan as long as six months ago for internet postings discussing suicide bombings and other attacks, though they have not yet determined definitively if he was the author of those posts. One of those posts was a blog entry that deified suicide bombers as being similar to soldiers who throw themselves on hand grenades in order to save the lives of their fellow soldiers. A cousin, Nader Hasan, builds a picture of the shooter as a bullied Muslim who was a good person who did not even like weapons, was conflicted about his military service, and was against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But postings that are thought to be Major Hasan’s don’t match the portrait of a soldier who was conflicted. They present us with a picture of someone who housed beliefs that

POPSIran Prepares For War, While Obama Sleeps! What damage has been caused by Obama’s withholding this information from the world? Yet, he praised the Islamic Republic of Iran and apologized for America’s actions in the Middle East. He held out his hand to a regime that denies the Holocaust while plotting to commit another one, and has a history of lying repeatedly to the international community while murdering away around the world (including its own citizens, uh..subjects). Obama has given Iran more time to develop nuclear weapons. But is there more damage that Obama has caused? He has allowed Iran time and wiggle room to escape the brunt of the one type of sanction that once held promise to restrain Iran: crafting and enforcing sanctions on companies and nations that export refined gas to Iran. In the last year, threats of sanctions on those few companies and nations that supply Iran with gasoline and heating oil have been partially effective. But the serious pressure would have come from sanctions passed by .

POPSMom Tasered in front of kids ‘posed no threat You have to read the article (clipped from) to believe this. I myself have emailed sheriff dept expressing outrage over it. I hope she sue's for a few million to get message across that wearing a badge don't make you god. I am proud of the majority of law enforcement and realize their job isn't easy. And yeah their are time when force is needed. Many though now actually look forward now though too any confrontation so they can get to use tazer. It's like a power trip to them. Probably kick dogs to when nobody looking. Need harder testing and philological testing before slap a badge on some of these dipwads. More then likely were bullied in high school and college so now feel they have the power. If as outraged as me thiis is the contact form to leave your statement. http://www.ongov.net/Contact/email/ have to go through county site because sheriff's page conveniently has no email contact pages....

POPSSorry Snobs: Townhall Rage IS Real Democracy Then, public opinion intervened. Obama is now on the wrong side of a genuine grass-roots revolt by people who feel ignored by everyone who is supposed to be representing them. Consider the AARP. It has all but endorsed a plan to slash several hundred billion dollars over 10 years from Medicare. It is providing cover for the creation of a new system that, if it ever succeeds in "bending the cost curve," will have to scrimp on expensive end-of-life care. The AARP is overwhelmingly favorable to a plan opposed by the elderly more than any other age group. Who is the more authentic voice of seniors -- the AARP playing along with its Democratic allies, or the elderly at town-hall meetings wondering what the Medicare cuts will mean for them? The inside-Washington players are easily co-opted and cowed. The American Medical Association came out in opposition to a public option in June, and then -- after a stern talking-to by Washington's political barons -- immediately backtracked.

POPSThe CEO Hostage Crisis At Bank of America BofA officials tell me that the SEIU agitation took off after Lewis refused a sit-down with the union's leaders. "We think Ken Lewis is bad for the company and the economy, and we also think that as long as you have a system where workers can't speak out, you can't fix the economy," said Stephen Lerner, an SEIU assistant president. Somehow, it's a little difficult to believe that the SEIU's main goal is the recovery of the financial system. A BofA spokesman says, "We think Bank of America is a model employer, and we don't see any advantage of associates being represented by a third party." The feds, that is, have de-facto control of the bank (as they do of Citigroup and much of the rest of the industry). And that control is being exercised by the Obama administration -- the most union-friendly in decades. The SEIU alone spent $60 million to elect this president. But so far the union doesn't have much to show for a return on that investment.

POPSYou Can't Hear The Jackboots, But This Is Still Oppression prying officials be empowered to force their way into the homes of parents who prefer to educate their sons and daughters at home. This is our all-powerful State's angry response to a growing rebellion, by mothers and fathers who are sick of seeing their children bullied, neglected and mis-educated in the state education system, and rightly think they can do a better job. How can the commissars in charge of the Western world's worst schools be fit to judge how well a parent is teaching her own child? The pretext for this invasion of privacy is a baseless suggestion that home education could be used as a cover for child abuse. But these are not subject to Comrade Balls's new inquisition. Why not? Because they don't challenge his desire to march all children into egalitarian comprehensive sausage machines, notorious as they are for violence, ignorance and drugs. peter hitchens ~ daily mail.co.uk
