Ok, first let me piss you people off, followed by a statement I know you'll agree with.
Republicans are the new anti-Americans. They picked up where Democrats left off in 2008. The hippies that would rather see America be attacked, "blame America first", and cheer for Hugo Chavez pissed me off to no end in those days. Now you have Republicans hoping the economy tanks, jobless rates increase, etc.
You have Republicans cheering that America lost the Olympics (this disgusted me as much as hearing a rant from Janeane Garofalo about how America's the bad guy):
...
And now you have this. Americans disgusted that the American President won the Nobel Peace Prize. Other countries seeing that is a good thing for this country, no matter how you slice it. I know, I know. "phuk those hippie-assed other countries, we don't need'em!" Well, I have nothing to say to that besides that's simply ignorant.
Now for the part you'll like. The guy fighting two offensive (as opposed to defensive) wars in other countries and is considering sending more troops into one of them just won the Nobel Peace Prize. Bush was Satan incarnate because of basically this same strategy. Is he invading these countries and increasing troops in a more "peaceful" way? Afghanistan has seen its bloodiest year to date under his watch.
And this missile defense program that justified the award? How has our relationship with Russia changed? Have they stopped assisting Iran in the development of its Nuclear program? Have they stopped selling arms to radicals in Darfur? Have the stopped supplying weapons to Hugo Chavez?
Well, Chizad, you didn't piss me off. It's great to see you posting in this Forum again (lately the same could be said of me though).
I should have said that what I thought RNC Chairman Michael Steele said about 'Chairman Maobama' getting the Nobel Peace Prize was spiteful, malicious, and just a tad snarky. It would have been fine to say that had he preceded it with something less begrudging towards The ONE personally. I really do prefer to see the Republicans not sink to the level of
Democrats socialists but, hell, they spent like Dems the last few years (and paid the price for it too) leading up to 2008, I guess they think they might as well go the full monty now.
I do agree with Kaos in his comments about the Olympics. And I think that the corrupt Daleys probably promised the Moon to the Olympic Committee (and The ONE)...speculation, of course, but they've been notorious for that method of operation for years. I guess Rio gave the committee more. Someone said this was probably the first rigged election that the Daleys actually lost!
As to the other aspects of what you say the Republicans are hoping for (a tanking economy and higher jobless rates); well, they probably are to be honest with you...as long as it hurts the Dems. And, like Rush said, I too hope that The ONE's socialist agenda fails before it even gets out of Congress. It's all politics...and some things never change despite the hope.
At least the checks and balances process hasn't completely failed otherwise we'd have all of The ONE's socialist dream agenda in place already.
Lastly, I'm not disgusted that The ONE was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I think it's laughable. Tell me what he's done to deserve it? I think that's what the world is asking based on what I'm reading in the news today. The prize is a joke and has been since it was awarded to Yassir Arafat. It's a favorite leftist award, awarded by leftists, to leftists and has been for 20 years or more.
The other thing about the Nobel Peace Prize that really makes me laugh this year is that Bill Clinton, the man who has actively lobbied for it since he was first elected president, has NOT gotten it...again...and neither did Hillary.
I can see it now...the next meeting on Afghanistan in the White House Situation Room...Chairman Maobama asks for ideas for what the plan is this time; Hillary turns to him and says "I don't know
'Mr. Nobel Laureate'; why don't you phuking tell us!?"
I need to refer to Hillary though every time I disagree with the Dems and The ONE because I agree with her words here:
