POPSCloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery Obama adheres to the Saul Alinksy Rules for Radicals method of politics, which teaches the dark art of destroying political adversaries. However, that text reveals only one front in the radical left's war against America. The Cloward/Piven Strategy is another method employed by the radical Left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.

POPSStock Shock! The Movie
The movie exposes a technique known as naked short selling, which has resulted in the collapse of the stock value of some of America’s most promising public companies. Sirius XM, often labeled as one of the most manipulated stocks in the market, is dissected in the movie. “Stock Shock” interviews individual investors who saw their stock price hit a high of $9.00/share and then plummet to a horrifying low of 5 cents in 2009. “Stock Shock” has spurred a grassroots movement helping convince the SEC to enact and make permanent an emergency rule to ban abusive naked short-selling. It’s no wonder. The reviews are impressive: “Shocking and eye-opening!” “It’s an awakening. Academy Award…Stock Shock should get one,” says radio host Jim Puplava of the Financial Sense Newshour. Industry expert and shareholder activist Bud Burrell remarks: “I will give it 10 stars of 10. It is the best doc of this length I have ever seen. I think this will go into the defining literature of this sp

POPS'Now We Have Proof' Jihadis Infiltrating D.C.
Noting that CAIR has tried to hide its strategy, finances, membership, internal disputes and much more from public view since its founding in 1994, Islam expert Daniel Pipes lauded "Muslim Mafia" for definitively exposing the "tawdry and often illegal inner workings of radical Islam's most aggressive organization in North America." "The revelations in this book should both put CAIR out of business and permanently discredit the Islamist cause," Pipes said. Undercover Along with declassified government documents, the book unveils thousands of e-mails, faxes and internal memos that were never meant for public viewing. "Muslim Mafia" also exposes the inner workings of the mob-like Brotherhood and explains its broader conspiracy of infiltrating the American government and "destroying Western civilization from within." "The evidence found in the investigation is incontrovertible," said co-author Sperry, noting that the book has more than 40 pages of footnotes and an

POPSSen. McCain, Don't Give Obamacare a Life Raft
The point here is that activist liberals like FDR and Obama mean business. They'll make fundamental change if you are foolish enough to work with them. All the while, they tell you they're implementing reform in the name of the very thing they're destroying: private enterprise. That's right. FDR couched his statist programs in capitalist terms, too. Just as Obama tells us he is expanding patient and doctor choice under an Obamacare package that would eventually eliminate such choices, FDR told America he was pushing through his statist agenda in order to save capitalism from itself. Since that time, dutiful liberal historians have perpetuated the myth that FDR's New Deal wasn't statist at its core, but capitalist, because statism was necessary to save capitalism. Go figure. Times change, but liberalism doesn't. But Obama and his Democratic super majorities in Congress have done the nation a great favor by showing their true colors and what they will do . . .

POPSHell on Earth Look at the defense Alinsky’s disciples are making of the Obama socialized medicine plan as they ask distressed constituents at the townhall meetings, do you have Medicare and do you like it? That’s a government health care system that works. Oh? So why is it going bankrupt? Isn’t that the reason for the new system? This one of course is much bigger, so the bankruptcy will be much more painful and destructive. But there wouldn’t be a need for this “solution,” and the price of medical care wouldn’t so outrageous, if progressives hadn’t devised the present system in the first place. So one rule for conservatives should be this: Don’t be so polite. When progressives propose their progressive solutions, remind them of the hell they have inflicted on the people they claim to want to help — gays, blacks, Hispanics, children. And that’s just for starters.

POPSThe 'Cap And Tax' Dead End By Sarah Palin July 14, 2009
Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president's cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy. There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America's economy. Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers from the resulting dried-up energy sector, to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years. So much for creating jobs. In addition to immediately increasing unemployment in the energy sector, . . .

POPSAmerican Revolution, Part II They have spent money we do not have, they have borrowed against our future, they have gambled and America has lost. We have but one hope left, and that is change (sound familiar), hope that we can change the makeup of Congress next year and the White House in 2012. Even if we achieve these two very important goals, it will take a tremendous amount of time and effort to undo the damage this moron and his lackeys in congress have already caused. Our ONLY hope of reversing some of this is in the 2010 elections next year. If we have any hope we must replace the members of Congress who simply rubber-stamp Obama’s schemes, cut the purse-strings and the money hemorrhaging will stop!

POPSSen. Shelby bids reality farewell on Sunday TV The Obama admin is "obviously" turning the USA into a socialist nation, he claims. OK, let's count the evidence: How many companies has the government taken over (of America's 26 million)? Um, one? General Motors? A few more if you count the ones with loans (which is a stretch)? And the banks that Bush bailed out. OK, let's grant them all and say ten. 10 of 26,000,000. And we're a socialist nation. One divided by 2,600,000, to express it in a percentage of total businesses. My, my. Sound the alarum! Break out the hammers and sickles! Or call the men in white coats.

POPSLand of the Weak and Home of the Wussy
Most of us bitch about taxes and pay little attention to the fact that our nation is deeply mired in two wars. We refer to our military personnel as heroes (for fear of not seeming patriotic?) but want nothing to do with the consequences of those wars. I agree with the author on some points and not on others. He speaks a realization that few of us want to face, for instance: the lie that we fight the terrorists there so we don’t have to fight them here. I also agree with this statement: we Americans have been living off the rest of the world's misery. We are stealing oil from the people of nations like Iraq and Nigeria. We know our toys, our electronic devices and our fancy name-brand running shoes are being made by people who cannot afford to buy them themselves. We know that for decades we have been overthrowing elected governments and propping up fascist dictatorships to keep the exploitation going so that we can buy cheap goods and extract cheap resources.

POPSBurning Judas continues: It is becoming more popular to make effigies into a fireworks shows destroying the effigy, while producing an amazing light show. This seems to lighten the destruction, especially for children and families. It also allows those who may not practice the Christian faith to enjoy a simple fireworks display regardless of the reasoning behind it. It should be noted that there continues to be controversy surrounding the celebrations, mostly in other countries outside of Mexico. In Mexico, however, the celebrations are becoming quite popular tourist attractions and are bringing back the effigies to towns that had stopped celebrating this particular and non-traditional part of Easter. If visiting Mexico during the Easter holiday, this is one celebration worth partaking.

POPSSeafood Dinner In The Age of Obama Federal Reserve's move to print money shows perilous policy failure Michael Stutchbury, Economics editor THE AUSTRALIAN IT'S an ominous day when the world's economic superpower starts printing money to buy its own government's debt. "Who's going to buy the bonds?" Paul Keating asked two weeks ago. Who would finance a US budget deficit forecast to swell to $US1.7 trillion ($2.5trillion) thisyear? Now US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has revealed part of the answer: the central bank itself will buy $US300 billion of US Treasury bonds and pay for them by electronically printing the money. The extraordinary move immediately pushed down long-term US interest rates, which set the benchmark for mortgage rates in the nation. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,25212624-643,00.html
