POPSAre we worth Are we worthy of his oneness? Can we be mature enough to wait until the world stops laughing and starts to actually do something to help us? Notice that when it comes to taking about what Obama's concessions have actually gotten us he comes up with rather slim pickings. Russia and China "agreed to toughening sanction"? Really? I heard they said they would think about it. Given that Iran has been stiffing the international community for a couple of decades on this issue that they would have had enough time to think about it by now.

POPSThe Long Retreat ~ Part I by Mark Steyn
to it, perhaps not publicly (just as the US agreement to remove its nuclear missiles from Turkey was not make public during the Cuban Missile Crisis). The Obama Administration's diplomatic strategy is, I believe, wise and comprehensive"but it needs to show more than public concessions over time. A few diplomatic victories wouldn't hurt. Golly. We know, thanks to Jimmy Carter, Joe Klein, and many others, that we critics of President Obama’s health-care policy are by definition racist.

POPS Stiffing GM's Creditors Will Backfire The Law: Sure as the sun rises, the U.S. government's manhandling of GM and Chrysler bondholders will ripple outward, striking not only companies and their creditors but the very basis for U.S. power and prosperity. Historians pinpoint the beginnings of U.S. power at 1811, with the liquidation of the First Bank of the United States, founded by Alexander Hamilton.

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.

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.
