POPSFrmr Congressman(R) Bob Barr for President (Libertarian) The Libertarians have a strong candidate, since Ron Paul declined to be their nominee. A great alternative who would stop the war and restore the Constitution and our liberties and roll back the size and scope of the Federal Leviathan that is devouring us and ruining our economy through heavy debt spending. This scares the neo-republicans, because now the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party will draw more votes from John McCain.

POPSBurma's Junta Counts Its Fake Votes, Millions In Peril
GRAPHIC PHOTO A US diplomat based in Rangoon claims the figure may be as high as 100,000 dead. The junta trumpeted what it claimed was a "massive turnout" in its constitutional referendum on Saturday, as thousands of tonnes of food, medical supplies and emergency relief specialists waited on tarmacs around the world for permission to enter the country. "Diarrhoea rates are very high in many of the affected townships; for children under five, diarrhoea is a disaster, adding, malaria and dengue were endemic to this region. United Nations agencies are concerned that there are hundreds of thousands of traumatised, injured people and that if they do not get medical treatment, they will die. Doctors in one hospital were treating up to 5000 outpatients a day, said Unicef's health chief in Rangoon. "They are exhausted. They are working long hours and they really need support. "They are full of patients and they cannot be treated properly due to a lack of human resources and drugs."

POPSLeaked Saudi View. 'Border dispute' Existing UN Resolutions Solution Prince Saud al-Faisal has been the discreet voice of Saudi Arabian diplomacy for more than 30 years, and he spoke with unchallenged authority at the recent meeting of the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers, giving what turned out to be a bleak assessment of the current negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The situation was "dire", he told the assembled dignitaries, including Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair and Ban Ki-moon. "Many dangers loom. It seems we have reached a stage that I can only describe as a morass." Such pessimism is not big news, though Saud's gloomy remarks were made, characteristically, behind closed doors at London's Lancaster House. It is certainly hard to find anyone who harbours much hope that there is a way out of the current impasse. ... Guardian

POPSActs 18 I Love that by example Paul worked and taught. That he had a trade. Also, the intimacy in which Paul prayed and heard God's voice. He was no doubt focused though he was working his eyes and mind were fixed on the greater task which was to share Christ and bring as many people as possible to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. To me the Acts are examples of how we also need to be single minded. Maybe we are working in a bakery or waitressing or caring for a 2 year old yet to be aware of those around us. And their need for the message of Jesus. The stories encouragement. To KNOW Jesus. To live as a Christ One regardless of the consequences. There is no death for the believer. It is my only consulation. Sammy knew Jesus. He loved God and sought to live as a believer. Not only that but he lived so that others might come to know the love of Jesus Christ. For him death had no chains. I just miss him terribly. I Love You Jesus. Amen

POPSWhat Would Reverend Jeremiah Wright Do? In an emotional testimony he tells the world how, as he was watching YouTube clips of the Reverend, a voice said "Follow this man." He then made his hajj to Chicago, joining Rev. Wright's congregation. Everyone is acepted under Jeremiah Wright's large tent as long as they accept a few simple dogmas and agree to repeat them five times a day during prayers: * Being White is immoral. Every White person is guilty of conspiring against the Blacks * Being rich is immoral. Every rich person is guilty of conspiring against the poor * America is the infamous product of conspiracy by rich White males to create the source of all evil. Later it turned even more evil under the rule of Zionist puppet masters. * Jesus was a homeless African-American male who fell victim to a conspiracy of the rich Whites against the poor Blacks that resulted in racial profiling, followed by torture and crucifiction * The 10 Commandments are optional.
