From the emetic noises, I'm sure that all of you have heard that Barack Hussein Obama has received the Nobel Peace Prize. All this for our Chief Rhetorician's booming about living in a world without nuclear weapons. Despite the fact that the only time that nuclear weapons were used it is estimated that they saved two million Japanese lives. Not to mention American ones, which are of more import to me. But I'm not surprised by any posturing that His O'liness does; I have yet to see that there is more to him than that.

Even Time knows that this is absurd. The first couple of paragraphs of the article are true, but then it degenerates into the usual Time balderdash and the last paragraph is nearly as irritating at Obama's prize. But they do make the valid point that Carter, Gore and now Obama got the Nobel just for not being George W. Bush and the also-valid point that the Nobel prize is damaging itself. After this string of prize-winners, it is fair to say that the Nobel peace prize is no honor, and its only virtue is the money that comes with it. Consider it a lottery instead of an award.

While Obama was prating about this he was sitting on the information that the Iranians had another site for refining weapon-grade uranium in Qom. Had he revealed that, he could perhaps have done something about a hostile nation actually getting nuclear weapons. But instead he bleats about how he can see a world without nuclear weapons. Only people as silly as the Nobel committee wouldn't get that. Or as vindictive as the Nobel committee that they will spite themselves and lessen the luster of their prize.

One of the things that I've noticed about the left is their cowardice. They posture and preen but are careful, very careful, never to say anything bad to someone who might fight back. They trash Christians, because they know that Christians will turn the other cheek, except left-wing Christians, like the Archbishop of Canterbury, who are up to their elbows damaging Christianity themselves. They're comrades in arms and so they get a free pass.

But will the left criticize someone who might fight back? No. They say we must "understand" Muslims who mean to kill us and do it when possible. And the reason that they say that is because they know that the Muslims will fight back. The left riots and breaks shop windows, lawlessly, and then snivels that they are being mistreated by the law. They take refuge in legalisms, because they are safe, instead of taking action which will solve the problem.

And so Barry O., our Doormat-in-Chief, that creature of academia and community organizing (read fraud) gets the Nobel Peace Prize. And he hasn't been president for a whole year. And without doing anything except apologizing for America, spending huge amounts of money, promoting statist pseudo-solutions worse than the disease, but mostly making love to the camera. Because he's a man so in love with his own voice that he, even more than Bill Clinton, believes his own bullshit.

This is based on a documentary I saw: according to it the Swedes were once a warlike people, until Peter the Great put an end to it, and then they turned in on themselves. Now instead of Vikings sacking Rome Swedes decorate the very people most damaging to America and ultimately to themselves.

Who is the bigger fool?
