POPSObama's Acorn a Criminal Organization
And now he says that the enormous and growing ACORN scandal is not something he is “paying a lot of attention to”? And that the ACORN scandal is “not the biggest issue facing the country”? I beg to differ. I think a national organization that is dedicated to stealth revolution, communism, ripping off the American taxpayer, and subverting free markets, among other insidious traitorous objectives, is of enormous import. What exactly is Obama paying attention to? Nationalizing a perfectly good private healthcare system, the best on the world? Outreach to the ummah (the worldwide global Muslim community)? What is he paying attention to? Mounting a Department of Justice witch hunt, a persecution of CIA agents whose crime was keeping us safe from the worldwide jihad in the immediate aftermath of 9/11? What’s he paying attention to? Ethnically cleansing Israel of the Jewish people? Or facilitating a nuclear Iran? Sanctioning Islamic law there and snuffing out the people marching for fre

POPS“Can’t we all just get along?”
But apparently Gates still doesn’t get it. If he wants a New Yorker article and a PBS documentary out of this, he’s going to have to dig deep and challenge his own thinking on race relations. A simple misunderstanding and flared tempers lacks a little umph and isn’t going to cut it. Hard to get indignant about that. But I dunno, Professor Gates, there could be something in this idea that we are entering a new phase in race relations, some new ground you can chart out. Maybe we’re approaching a place in this country where no one can make immediate assumptions, throw around accusations, and make demands anymore. Where there has to be some room for nuance, understanding. And the recognition that racism is a two-way street. Think about it. Obama, too, who also called this a “teachable moment.” Absolutely. If he’s willing to listen, and learn. Turns out this is not so much about race as it is about being civil. In the transcendant words of Rodney King, “Can’t we all just get along?"

POPSA Czar Too Far - #5 The administration’s “Green Jobs” czar, Van Jones, has a “very checkered past” deep-rooted in radical politics, including black nationalism, anarchism, and communism. The broadcast network newscasts have mostly failed to report on Mr. Jones’s past political affiliations which are lock-step with the network’s downplay of coverage regarding President Obama’s associations with the former radical and terrorist William Ayers during the election. Jones is a San Francisco extremist who admits to having been “radicalized in jail.” You really should read ALL of Moonbattery’s post. Very enlightening to say the least… From the Examiner: Van Jones, ‘Green Jobs Czar’, a self-described ‘communist’ arrested during Rodney King riots The 41-year-old Yale Law School graduate and civil rights lawyer is also the founder of California’s Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, “a non-profit agency for justice, opportunities and peace.” Sounds idyllic, but Jones’ past isn’t so pastoral.

POPSThe search for the roots of psychopathy Research is being done to study the brains of psychopaths in prison using a portable functional magnetic-resonance-imaging scanner, looking for a defect , with the goal of discovering a treatment. "Although the number of psychopaths who are not in prisons is thought to exceed the number who are—if the one-per-cent figure is correct, there are more than a million psychopaths at large in the United States alone—they are much harder to identify in the outside world. Some are “successful psychopaths,” holding down good jobs in many types of industries. It is generally only if they commit a crime and enter the criminal-justice system that they become available for research." I've known at least two psychopaths personally, neither incarcerated. They are scary people.

POPSStroke the Rich
The IRS has become a subsidy system for super-wealthy Americans IRS winks at rich deadbeats. Because the news media focus on what politicians say about the tax system, rather than how it actually operates, few Americans realize that: -- Corporate income tax laws reward companies that move jobs offshore, allowing them to earn untaxed profits as long as the money stays offshore. -- Widespread cuts in health insurance and pensions for the rank-and- file are driven by a special law that lets top executives defer paying taxes for years, in a way that adds 35 percent to the cost of their bloated pay. -- The 2001 Bush tax cuts included a stealth tax increase on the middle class and upper-middle class that will cost them a half trillion dollars in the first 10 years and, for 35 million families, wiping out part or all of their Bush tax cuts. -- The stealth tax boost on people making $30,000 to $500,000 was explicitly used to make sure that the super rich would get their entire Bush tax

POPSYesterday’s Baggage By “investing in our schools and our communities; by enforcing our civil rights laws and ensuring fairness in our criminal justice system; by providing this generation with ladders of opportunity that were unavailable for previous generations.” The path for blacks, Obama insists, requires “binding our particular grievances — for better health care, and better schools, and better jobs — to the larger aspirations of all Americans — the white woman struggling to break the glass ceiling, the white man who’s been laid off, the immigrant trying to feed his family.” There’s not much that is actually new here. This was largely a restatement of Jeremiah Wright’s indictment of America, delivered in University of Chicago parlance instead of South Side Chicago diatribe. The old baggage has been replaced with shinier suitcases, but the contents are the same as ever. Black America’s problems can be solved by spending more money on the same old Great Society programs

POPSHeroism & heartache - just another vietnam? While it was before I was born I have read a lot on Vietnam and the parallels I am seeing here just bring haunting stories to fruition. I know many who have been in both Vietnam and now those in Iraq. I do hope people help and treat the people returning from Iraq, better then they did those coming home from Vietnam. Sad thing is that in both wars - all the people were sent there based on a government decision. Protest the government - not our men and women of the armed forces.
