Man Giving Peace Sign The Nobel Foundation once again proves how ignoble it is by giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.

By Selwyn Duke

Well, I guess we can say, blessed be the peace makers — because they
must be in darn short supply. That’s the only conclusion I can draw
when I hear that President Obama — the man who got fawning media
treatment for no reason, was elected with a thin resume and exalted
without even being a king — has now been given the Noble Peace Prize
for, it seems, allegedly having good intentions.

Among those expressing the idea that this was Obama’s sole
qualification was the 1984 winner of the prize, Archbishop Desmond Tutu
of South Africa. Gregory Katz at Google news quotes him
as saying, “In a way, it's an award coming near the beginning of the
first term of office of a relatively young president that anticipates
an even greater contribution towards making our world a safer place for
all. It is an award that speaks to the promise of President Obama's
message of hope.” Putting it even more bluntly, Massimo Teodori, billed
as a U.S. history expert, said, “For now it's still intentions rather than fully implemented policies, but they are deserving ones.”

    This is a travesty! Barney the purple dinosaur deserves this award way more than Obama! He has been singing the same tune for almost 20 years. I have never seen Barney read from a teleprompter either, which is proof he has a much greater intellectual capacity. Start the campaign now Barney 2010!!

    Walt,
    I gotta tell ya…Ever since Duke let you do a guest piece, which by-the-way was one of the lamest articles that has ever been on his site, you’ve been acting like you think you’re William F. Buckley.
    Well, you’re not. Tone it down a bit before you implode with that smug self righteousness that covers your stuff like files on a cow paddy. Come on – “My dear Shelia.” and “Ta ta for now.” Enough!
    Walt, your thinking isn’t that strong. And though improved from the days when you couldn’t seem to figure out spell check, your writing really is not all that good. I always thought Christians were to proceed with some level of humility. But, you seem to think you’re the Eric Hoffer of the construction business. You’re so brash and full of yourself it’s embarrassing.
    I was going to leave you alone to “yawn” yourself into figuring out something that you think will get you a pat on the head from Duke…and I am. But, your incessant Obama bashing is enough to gag a maggot on a gut wagon.
    Do yourself a favor and just cut it out.

    hang on the kissinger peace prize made me laugh like a drain when i heard of it. the whole nobel peace prize has been discredited since, so at least obama hasn’t started any new wars that’s all you can say about it.
    In the meantime this is equally prophetic
    http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28784
    WASHINGTON, DC–Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that “our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.” “My fellow Americans,” Bush said, “at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us.”
    Bush swore to do “everything in [his] power” to undo the damage wrought by Clinton’s two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.”
    2001 THAT’S SCARY

    “figure out spell check” in reply to “Files on a cow paddy”
    I just had to add that. It seems in Abe’s fit of rage he forgot to run spell check too.
    I have a question for you Abe. When you say “Walt, your thinking isn’t that strong” can you back that up with evidence from Walt’s (commentary) past? I know it takes a great intellectual mind to hurl insults w/o evidence like you’re so evidently capable of doing, but for the simple minded folk like me can you elaborate a bit?

    Shaun,
    It’s an obvious error. But, one that spell check wouldn’t catch. (No need to explain why, right?)
    Since there has been some encouragement offered to Brother Walt urging him to “man-up” when he says something stupid, not whine and take his spanking; I’ll do that myself.
    I stand corrected.
    In so much as an offer of evidence of Walt’s weak thinking, I won’t elaborate. His commentary stands or falls on its own.
    In any case, I bore Mr. Holton and I believe he has declined to fire back; refusing essentially to lower himself in his majesty and engage the lower classes.
    Don’t feel so constrained yourself.

    Yoyo,
    That piece from The Onion was parody. You’ve been duped again.
    I agree with Yoyo (and Selwyn) that the Nobel Peace Prize has long-been discredited. Not only was it given to blood-thirsty terrorist Arafat, but it was also given to Jimmy Carter, who never met a blood-thirsty terrorist that he didn’t feel right at home with.
    I, for one, was not the least bit surprised by the announcement. Nor will I be the next time when Kim Jong Il and Mahamoud Ahmedinijihad are the finalists.
    Hey Abe, are you Robert Berger’s father?

    “of course it was parady you idiot, it was laso prophetically accurate.”
    Sticks and stones, Yoyo. If you consider that to be prophetically accurate then your source for info must be Auntie Beeb and her sissy step-children.
    It is uncomfortable for me to stick up for the Bush administration of which I have been deeply disappointed. But this disappointment has to do with their Socialist expansion of government, profligate spending and modern-day “liberal” policies (or lack thereof) regarding illegal immigration (or what should be more accurately referred to as criminal invasion).
    And you thought the Clinton’s were the cat’s meow, I suppose? The Clintons are career criminals and they both belong in orange jump suits. You don’t want to take me on with that subject.

    Philip,
    You asked if I was Robert Berger’s father. But, you haven’t answered my prior question. Even so, I’ll go ahead and reply to yours: No, I am not his father.
    Now, I’ll ask you a “father” question: Do you know your own?

    Dear Abe.
    Yes, I do know my father. He is an American hero. He is the recipient of not just one, but TWO Purple Hearts for courage in battle. I wish that I did not look like him as much as I do but, the benefit is that this solves two problems: I KNOW that I am his son and I KNOW who my father is: He is great man and an American hero. Can you be so certain? Can you be so proud?
    As for your prior question, please forgive the “yawn” but what was it?

    Phil, from outside the US I think the Clintons were both greedy oportunists (not murderers BTW). However your country seems to like these dynasties, who the f*k would think that an alcohol affected moron like george the junior would ever qualify to be potus if not for the familial connections and his maliablity to nasty corporations.
    At least my country tries to run a meritocracy.
