For all you righties and lefties with your panties in a wad out there, QUICK, who won the Nobel Peace prize last year?
Why is President Obama being held to a higher standard? Frankly, I am sick of this. The last Nobel Peace Prize winner I heard about was Al Gore. And of course, the right wingers hated that, too.
Lefties, be proud, and PUSH President Obama more for peace.
And right wingers, you hate America. You really, really do. You have no shame.
Enough with the 'Obama doesn't deserve it' talk. Who won the Nobel Peace prize last year? Other than Al Gore, can you name any one that won in the last ten years?
I am sick of the left tearing President Obama down. The main complaint is "He hasn't done enough, and the War in Afghanistan..."
Well, I certainly agree I want the wars over, too. I want Gitmo closed. And privately, I have done my share of complaining about things I disagree with that the President has or has not done.
But, enough already! Who made all of you Nobel Peace Prize judges? Who are you to say that President Obama was not the best candidate for this award? He has brought respect back to this country from the world. He is a true diplomat. The way he puts up with the right wing hatred alone as well as the many threats on his life and family must be extremely stressful.
And the shoes v. Nobel Peace prize speaks volumes. Give Peace a chance!!!
Thank you for taking the high road. I really appreciate it. It has been a sad day for the attacking of our President for receiving an award that he did not seek.
He is not perfect, yet he accepted it gracefully, in a manner that rose high above all the clamor around him. He was humble, and said it belonged to all of us.
It showed clearly why he was selected. I am very proud of him, I am very proud he was selected.
History will look kindly on this moment and how he reacted. Not so of his detractors.
You have just proved why the organization selected President Obama. He believes in avoiding wars through diplomacy before war. You believe in kicking ass first.
As for the economy, it absolutely amazes me how the right has forgotten or twisted facts how we got into this mess to begin with.
Peace out, dude.
What will it take for these people to realize Beck it the puppet master and they are the side show?
Shootings? A nuclear war? A total collapse and everyone losing their jobs and life savings at once?
Beck is laughing his head off.
When will the conservatives and Republicans get that THEY are the butt of this jerk's big joke? Don't they know this selfish smuck is just getting filthy rich? He is just a big time prostitute that would do anything for money? Do people really believe that Beck is a Christian?
Really? REALLY?
FOX says liberals are evil, implies black people are scary,immigrants are thieves and they give that raz-ma-taz crazy woman from Russia lots of air time to question President Obama's birth certificate. FOX preaches it is OK to run the national debt up when Bush is in office because 'deficits don't matter' but scream that we are doomed when Obama tries to clean up after Dubya. FOX single handedly was a one-arm full time propaganda machine for Dubya's WH for the lies to drag us into the Iraq War. Whatever the Bush WH said, they reported as the absolute truth, we could have got the same information from the White House web site. I saw Charles Krauthhammer and a group on FOX laugh when people in NOLA were drowning. They said they should have taken the school buses and left.
They are the crazy right wing arm of the media. The mad uncle that every Republican is being influenced by. It is about damn time someone called them out. The right wing has been screaming that 'everybody but FOX is biased' for a long time.
Well, now it is their turn to take a hit back. Of course, all the little 'puggies are squealing like the fat cat 'puggies and hot air bullies they are.
The sun rose this morning.
Just curious, how did Ms. Taitz get a law degree and a dental degree? The people that I know that have either/or one of these--unless they came from wealthy families--are up to their eyeballs in debt for several years. To have BOTH, plus three children and time to devote to this insanity seems just weird.
Where did she go to dental school? To law school? Does she actually have licenses for these both? If so, how can she be such a nut job? Is she some kind of a savant? Has anyone seen her birth certificate and diplomas/licenses? As looney as this woman is, why would anyone trust her with their teeth or legal problems?
While law clerks do usually write the opinions, judges direct and approve them. So, it was with the full knowledge of the judge that this woman was being bitch slapped. And who know we would be applauding a decision of a judge that Dubya appointed!
