POPSThe symbolic blunder - symbolic in many ways How timely. I recently clipped some things about FDR's NRA. Apparently, I am not the only one that notices the blatant attempt to inspire a reactionary movement to the 1930's fascism. More from article: "The NRA attempted to "organize" the U.S. economy from the largest corporations to the smallest Mom n' Pop store. Businesses were encouraged to sign up with the proviso that they would be able to write their own rules for their industries, effectively turning them into cartels. Member businesses were allowed to place the Blue Eagle in their windows, along with the slogan "We Do Our Part". "

POPSYesterday was the 64th Anniversary Click on the link= Yesterday was the 64th Anniversary For complete story. I am of that era of learning and expanding our horizons. Of having a better life then my parents. But the past 30 years or more I have seen the raping of that life. And I don't see any change for the better.

POPSLittle Chance for McCain; If any. “McCain shouldn’t win it,” said presidential historian Joan Hoff, a professor at Montana State University and former president of the Center for the Study of the Presidency. She compared McCain’s prospects to those of Hubert Humphrey, whose 1968 loss to Richard Nixon resulted in large part from the unpopularity of sitting Democratic president Lyndon Johnson.

POPSHistorians Give McCain Slim Odds Add this to the mountain of evidence that the GOP is headed for a beating in the fall. Remember, polling this far out isn't anything close to predictive.

POPSREMEMBERING MODERN HISTORY’S GREATEST CRIME Why so silent on this most enormous crime of European history? Might it have something to do with the fact that most of the senior officers of Stalin’s Cheka, or secret police, were Jewish, including Kaganovitch & Stalin? Compensation for Russians, Chechans, Ukrainians? Do not hold your breath.

POPS D-Day In Context Perhaps that's because it would draw parallels between those who stormed the coast of France in 1944 and those who are fighting now -- and winning -- a war against radical Islam. Unlike those who braved their way into Hitler's Fortress Europe, the young Americans fighting today's battles reap few accolades from the potentates of the press or the liberal "leadership" in Washington. A recent editorial warned about Iraq: "Don't look now, but the U.S.-backed government and army may be winning the war." And it took to task those who comprise "the 'this-war-is-lost' caucus." The victories over al-Qaida and the Shiite militias in Iraq, against the Taliban and Osama bin Laden's remnant in Afghanistan, have been won by U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, guardsmen and Marines -- and the new allies in these countries. Those who landed on the beaches of Normandy 64 years ago were American heroes. So are those who serve today.

POPSJames Warburg He has gained some notoriety for the following quote attributed to him: "We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The question is only whether world government will be achieved by consent or by conquest." (Feb. 17, 1950, to the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations)

POPSValor against hopeless odds Almost as many U.S. troops were killed in this one battle than after 4 years of battle in Iraq. Did America's loony left howl at Roosevelt, or blame the secretary of war? What has happened over these 60 odd years, is that the liberals have become cowards, and unswerving in their desire to undermine the government and our duly elected leaders in a time of war. The true definition of traitors.

POPSPat Buchanan 1971 memo: Use Abortion to Split Catholics, Social Liberals The Nixon White House didn’t enact all of these recommendations, but it would be hard to find a more succinct and unapologetic blueprint for Republican success in the conservative era. “Positive polarization” helped the Republicans win one election after another—and insured that American politics would be an ugly, unredeemed business for decades to come. A strategy that has been very effective, using the citizens of the country as pawns in their power game. Pretending to care about abortion, taxes and welfare - when they could actually care less. As with race, those issues elicit highly emotional responses and well reasoned arguments will not work because of anti-intellectualism fostered by an elite. And the game is still open and the pawns are still playing. Imagine that.

POPSPresidential Strokes Interesting factoid: Almost a quarter of the nation's presidents suffered strokes, according to Loyola University Hospital neurologist Dr. Jose Biller. It makes a lot of sense considering that strokes are more common in men and, according to the American Heart Association, your chances of having a stroke doubles for every decade of life beyond age 55. A poor diet and physical inactivity can also play roles. Check out my article examining the negative health effects of running for president, too: http://www.forbes.com/health/2008/02/25/health-hazardous-campaign-forbeslife-cx_avd_0225prezhealth.html

POPSHillary an O'Reilly--Courtin the Repug vote?
Said O'Reilly: "You're going to raise taxes on the wealthy. That's income redistribution. You know what that is. And income redistribution is why some conservatives don't like you. It's because it takes from the wealthy and you give the less afluent - that's socialism - that has a socialist component ..." "No it isn't" said Hillary who recoiled from the S word like a vampire confronted with a cross. "Was Teddy Roosevelt a socialist?" she asked. When O'Reilly said "somewhat," she added that, "Teddy Roosevelt was a great American. Our country works better when we're all in it together.” On her $110 billion-a-year health care plan, O'Reilly, citing California's $8 billion health care deficit and New York's $5 billion health care deficit, asked "Are you going to tell me President Hillary Clinton is going to A) run this efficiently and B) not bankrupt the country when California and New York are already bankrupt?" In reply, Mrs. Clinton simply side-stepped defending the ruinous fis
