POPSReactionary anti-women "men's rights" groups go mainstream
More: Toward the end of her piece, Joyce makes a particularly fascinating point about MRAs' domestic violence arguments: Critics like Australian sociologist Michael Flood say that men’s rights movements reflect the tactics of domestic abusers themselves, minimizing existing violence, calling it mutual, and discrediting victims. MRA groups downplay national abuse rates, just as abusers downplay their personal battery; they wage campaigns dismissing most allegations as false, as abusers claim partners are lying about being hit; and they depict the violence as mutual—part of an epidemic of wife-on-husband abuse—as individual batterers rationalize their behavior by saying that the violence was reciprocal. Additionally, MRA groups’ predictions of future violence by fed-up men wronged by the family-law system seem an obvious additional correlation, with the threat of violence seemingly intended to intimidate a community, like a fearful spouse, into compliance.

POPS'The Axis of Idiots' - note from a Retired Marine You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it. John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.

We say, Sisters are doin' it for themselves, standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells. Sisters are doin' it for themselves ♫ -Annie Lennox

POPSHey Dave...I Missed the Joke... Sick. We saw it again recently AGAIN with the passing of Sen. Kennedy. His litany of indiscretions towards women was excused and accepted. Gross. Do libs think no one notices this hypocrisy? Hells bells, talk about idiocy and stupidity of epic proportion. They make this shit up about Limbaugh. They make it up! Yet their own damn party is out there in the open doing it in front of our very eyes. Sick. Gross. No, Dave, you don't get to decide when this story end. Count on it to last a long time. I don't forgive or forget that easy. You can count on that.

POPSWhy Did This Woman Have 15 Abortions in 16 Years? Vilar's description of what happened "after her 9th and 10th abortions" is disturbing, but what happened before then — how did she get to nine? Did the cycle of self-destruction actually began much earlier, was her husband uncooperative about birth control, did they decide to try for children and then back off? And, given that Vilar is obviously an extreme case, do these questions matter at all to the larger abortion debate?

POPSMahatma Gandhi and Margaret Sanger "In January of 1936, a meeting took place between Mohandas Gandhi and Margaret Sanger . The subject of their conversation that day was contraception. Mrs. Sanger was, at that time, the archpriestess of the birth control movement in the United States . For her, as well as for her legion of followers, "birth control" meant contraception. Gandhi had a different understanding of birth control. For him it meant self-control."

You may be able to control your behavior, but it is at great cost ... shame, self-hate, depression ... too high of a cost for some ideology that says loving someone of the same sex is sin...

POPSMy 1933 Nightmare
...as America's post-war hegemony began to erode internationally, and within the country white males were being challenged for their domestic dominance as well. These "Reagan Democrats" " i.e., consummately selfish pricks who were happy to take government largesse when it was helping to bring them into the middle class, but then immediately pulled the ladder up behind themselves afterwards, demanding tax cuts " began to lash out politically, responding to any line of crap that would harmonize with their embarrassing victimization trope by promising a feel-good response offering the muscular bludgeoning of women and dark people, both at home and abroad. In reality, of course, they were voting for a political movement that was talking tough-guy nationalism and scapegoating gays and other out-groups, but purely as a mask for further savaging the prosperity of these very idiot voters supporting their own undoing. In exchange for some cheap rhetoric and the occasional third-world war, they

POPSChris Hedges: "We owe Nader an apology" According to Chris Hedges, progressives were sold a bill of goods with the Obama campaign -- empty slogans and no real pressure for change. I don't entirely agree, but I'm getting there.

POPSBirthers and anti-choicers: one and the same? More: The birther conspiracy theory works the same way---pointing out evidence and logical arguments only expands the size and scope of the conspiracy in the minds of birthers. In fact the “Obama faked his birth certificate and was born outside of the U.S.” theory apparently erupted in part from an earlier conspiracy theory over Obama's middle name . With birthers, as with anti-choicers, more evidence of reality just gets them further into the thick of imagining even more complex and strange conspiracies. And just as the anti-choicers have moved on to concocting theories about how Planned Parenthood is part of a child sex ring that they’re covering up, I suspect the birther thing may grow in ways that are frightening in their complexity and lack of touch with reality.

POPSmportant update - please spread! More people joining in pressing charges on the CDC and WHO spread!
- My take IM IN ROCHESTER! SO ARE THE TRAINS! The women tonight will talk about what is going on, and how she is suing EVERYONE from Obama,Bush to the CDC and WHO!. She is a single mother trying to dent this beast, much like Jane Burgermeister. This is leading into my plan, and video I am working on now, called "Amends" my/our solution. I have about 50 people working on this with me, if not for that it would have been out by now. But lets just say, we will be able to cut the weeds out of the truth movement with this once and for all. If people dont realize the seriousness of what is going on and who is real, they shouldnt be in this to begin with because they are just wasting time... The truth movement is a waste, its accomplished nothing and has NO true leaders, and TO MANY "Awake sheep" out of the ashes of this movement a real one will come, that actually gets things done! Bills stopped, Plans ruined and agendas halted. Thats what needs to be done. I firmly believe that i

POPSPro-Life Democrat Gets Booted for Supporting Contraception It is the height of irony in the pro-life movement that many do not support contraception as a way to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Excepting those with arcane theological reasons for the position, it indicates to me that many in the pro life movement actually want unwed mothers to get pregnant, deliver their babies, and experience all of it as a punishment for having sex outside of marriage. They don't care about life. They care about punishing carnality.
