POPSArlington Pastor Questions Speech Double Standard The Cornerstone Baptist Church wants to make sure that any youth who wants to see President Barack Obama’s address to students has a place to go. Church officials say they don’t want students "to be banned or barred from hearing and viewing this historic message to students because of the judgments and fear of some school districts.” Good for him. It seems pretty obvious who is doing the brainwashing in that school district. They are basically passing on the message that what this president says is poison, but the guy who lied to us to get us into an illegal war, besmirched America’s name by authorizing war crimes, and spent all our money, is someone worth listening to.

POPS You Did Not Lose This Election
MEMORIES OF THAT FEBRUARY day at CPAC come back to me now as I contemplate the November debacle of the Republican Party. Many conservatives will inevitably feel rejected and dejected. Try not to take it personally. You did not lose this election. Perhaps the most important statistic for conservatives to keep in mind today -- as pundits pore over and pour out exit-poll data to tell us What It Means -- is this: 53 percent of Republican primary voters did not vote for John McCain. While the Democratic struggle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton captured all the headlines during the primary season, few pundits noticed the massive Republican resistance to McCain's nomination. Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, McCain got 33 percent of the primary vote in Missouri, 32 percent in Tennessee and Georgia; in caucuses that day, he got 22 percent in the Minnesota and 19 percent in Colorado. McCain's share of the total Republican primary vote through Super Tuesday was only 39 percent.
