POPSChristian Angst Notable quotes: "As a Christian I would not have liked it if they had used verses from the Quran, and if I had known about it, I probably would not have approved of them doing so," Ransom said. "The issue for us is about freedom of expression of Christianity." "But if the girls had decided to use something from the Quran, I feel in our community they would've received negative feedback." It seems pretty clear what is bothering these people. The writer of the article goes on: "Therein lies the bigger question -- is it freedom of religion for the protestors in Fort Oglethorpe or freedom of their religion? If it's just their religion, how is that constitutional?" He poses a good question. It's obvious that the citizens of N. Georgia are not worried about anyone but themselves and their particular religious sect. The N. Georgia hills are indeed beautiful. The people, not so much.

POPSByron Williams: GOP must reject the nut jobs from within More conservatives need to be vocally advocating John Wayne's attitude: "I didn't vote for him, but he's my president, and I hope he does a good job." More: If the Republican Party wants to return from the political wilderness, it must reject any association with the nut jobs. As Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., recently stated, the Republican Party must say to those who advocate that Obama was not born in the U.S., is a closet Muslim, is Hitler, or worse, that he should be assassinated, "That's crazy!"

POPSNo More Gridiron Warriors for Christ The administration at this school did the right thing. But if it wasn't for someone speaking out their arrogant practice of public show-boating of their religion would have continued.

POPSAgain, with the persecution? Once again we're presented a picture of people believing that their overwhelming majority faith is somehow being persecuted. In fact, what the whining is all about is the erosion of Christian privilege above all other faiths or non-belief. These sheep simply don't grasp the concept of a secular government actually being a benefit to their belief system. Instead they view it as an attack against their religion. Naturally, these attitudes are being advanced by a media subset that is reaping an enormous financial gain by manipulating these rubes with false claims of losing their freedoms and being persecuted by a non-existent, frightening subculture bent on destroying their faith. There's a fool born every minute.

POPSShifting the Blame Notice the last paragraph? The one in which the people pointing out that a public school, as an agent for the government, has no business endorsing a religion, is the cause of their problem! These people simply don't get it.

POPSBig Ben Rings in 1st NFL Victory.
'Big Ben," Roethlisberger, came from behind in overtime to lead his team to victory in the first game of the new NFL season. Soooo....many of us thank our God that USA football has begun again. This is a good link to it. The HD video replays are fantastic. Big Ben beat my home state's team in last year's Superbowl. How my home state's team got into the Superbowl was initially a profound mystery and great surprise to all. But, as the game showed, they had "spunk." When down, they fought back. (I always admire that in athletics we can see it so clearly). We were, six (6) seconds from a Superbowl Victory...and Big Ben drove down the field (impressive, like a tank). Six seconds to go. Touchdown needed. He threw this pass. It seemed too high. It seemed out of bounds. The receiver was surrounded by 3 highly agitated opponents -- but leaping like a basketball player, caught the ball and while his body fell out of bounds, toes of both feet 1st touched mere inches in bounds.

POPSThe So Called Liberal Media XXVIIII: Why Villagers are clueless Those of you who remember Paul Krugman's often harsh criticisms of Obama during the election campaign might be surprised to read Howard Kurtz's media column which puts him first among the disappointed former Obama cheerleaders. Krugman has certainly been critical of Obama's performance in office, but this is only news for Kurtz, not people familiar with Krugman's writings. All Villagers aren't wrong in everything they write obviously, certainly not Kurtz, but this latest error is laughable. I can understand if it was a matter of interpretation, but come on Howard, this one wasn't even close to being on the mark. (h/t Atrios)

POPSKissinger Admits Iran Attack Is About Oil As blogger Robert Weissman points out, the "legitimate aspirations" that Kissinger affords Iran later in the piece "do not include control over the oil that the United States and other industrial countries need." According to the CIA's world factbook, Iran has the world's second largest reserves of conventional crude oil at 133 gigabarrels. Adding non-conventional oil, Iran holds 10% of the global oil supply. Kissinger's admission that U.S. control of Iranian oil supplies is the real agenda behind hostility towards Iran would raise eyebrows and bring condemnation from many, but there are a hard core of Neo-Con cheerleaders who would support such an agenda even if it is openly accepted that nuclear proliferation is just a smokescreen for looting more middle east oil.

POPSWhat do you call an economic stimulus that isn’t?
The author calls it a ‘really expensive, depressing yawn’. In keeping with my reputation of not being quite so polite, I’ll call it a colossal rip-off of taxpayer dollars in keeping with business as usual. Tax payers earlier this year were given a promise of 3.5 million new jobs as a part of the pitch to support business and state government bailouts. According to the Heritage Foundation, that translates to a promise that June’s total US employment would climb to 135.9 million. Never happened. Total employment is currently around 131.7 million (and falling). The only thing DC politicians’ so-called stimulus has legitimately produced (besides those yawns) is a net jobs deficit of 4.2 million. At the rate that our do-nothing Democratically-controlled congress is ‘progressing’, Republicans won’t need to come up with a new strategy to get back into the White House, it will be gladly handed to them. Provided all parties involved manage to stay awake until next November.

POPS Cracking ACORN Kingsley wrote in a reference to the tax code provision regulating charities. ACORN and its affiliates are not only reliable cheerleaders for higher taxes, but also longtime tax deadbeats. More than 200 federal, state, and local tax liens adding up to more than $3 million are associated with ACORN’s national headquarters in New Orleans. Capital Research Center discovered that ACORN moves money around its network with a boldness and agility that Pablo Escobar would have admired. Obama’s ties to ACORN go back to at least 1992, when he ran a voter-registration drive for Project Vote. Obama helped train ACORN leaders, and he represented ACORN in a ballot-access case. The socialist “New Party,” which served as ACORN’s electoral arm, endorsed Obama, who was one of its members, when he ran for the Illinois state senate in the mid-1990s. Last year, Obama promised a meeting of community organizers he would meet with ACORN after winning on Election Day.

POPSOut of tragedy, sportsmanship has a shining moment After the second shot, everyone in the gym - including all the Madison players - stood and applauded the gesture of sportsmanship. "Any one of my teammates would have done the same thing, and I think anyone on the Madison team would have done the same for us," McNeal said. Madison broke open a close game after the timeout and went on to win, 62-47. Franklin finished with 10 points, matching his season average. "Just being in the game was a good feeling," Franklin said. "I knew my Mom would have wanted me to play. She was always proud of me playing basketball."

POPSAir America Founder Agrees With Rush Limbaugh Some say that if he had to make time for opposing opinions, Rush would have flopped. Personally, I think he is most entertaining when he is dismantling opposing arguments. He's successful because he is a superior entertainer. Rush created the new AM template, and it spread like wildfire. When programmers and sales managers get a whiff of success, it is cloned in every conceivable way until the audience, once grateful for innovation, tunes out. OP-ED: Jon Sinton, founding president of Air America http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122990390599425181.html Radio
