Al Gore, Ignoble Laureate

News – Political Correctness: The front-runners for this year's Nobel Peace Prize are a couple of global warming alarmists. With dozens of wars raging, the committee couldn't find a single person laboring honorably for peace? Once a symbol of distinction, this honor has plumbed shameful depths in recent years. A county fair blue ribbon has more significa

"In 1895 Alfred Bernhard Nobel drew up a will according to which his wealth was to be devoted to the annual award of five prizes "to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind."... " ( http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/articl... )

Has Alfred Nobel's legacy been hijacked?

We Conservatives is TRYIN to hijack it!!

After all, we no minated Rush Limbaugh!

Course, we Conservatives is so callous to anything that smacks of peace and honor, we undermine it on principle.

We used to be a party that valued honor and noble grace. Now we is just a collection of bitter, self loathin, conspiracy minded, baiters and taunters, who want nuthin more than payin no taxes, turnin the keys of goverment over to corporations, and goin to war with all our perceived enemies ---- which as it turns out - is sane folk all over the world.

It's a sad state when neocon (evident in the tone presented towards ElBaradei) op-whine-ion piece writers would go out of their way to slam Arafat for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize when people who killed many more than him were co-recipients with him, like Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres.

Perez was a terrorist years before Arafat, who became a Gazan nationalist in response to Perez' actions.

Well - you got to understand where we is comin from earthy.

We Christian Conservatives is on a higher pedistal!!

With our present ideeologie - as promoted by Goerge W. Bush and Dick Cheney - and proudly referred to by us as Neo-Conservatism - we have a highly selective world leaders we appreciate - and Arafat aint one.

WE have a mutual appreciation society with leaders liek:

- AUGUSTO PINOCHET (may God save his soul)

- the MILITARY JUNTA in Myanmar

- Franciso Franco (the heeroic Spanish fascist from the 40's)

- the totalitarian Communists from present day China.

See, THESE are the types of poeple we understand. THESE are the types of societies we want.

In fact, we liek the Communists in China especially. They have --

- no workplace rules

- no minimum wage

- no privacy rights

- little or no tolerance for religions other than state approved*

(*This is our secret wish too! We want to legitimize Christianity as the OFFICIAL State Religion!)

Amen.

Arafat decided to not have peace. When offered 95% of what he wanted, he decided it was better to have more dead kids than to let Israel have the other 5%. That doesn't sound like a man fighting for peace to me.

The Nobel Peace Prize ceased being relevant years ago. They're like Cracker Jack prizes. After all, they even gave one to Jimmy Carter.

I know!!

I mean - he only succeeded in bringin two mortal enemies together in a staggeringly un-precedented moment.

Course, thats exactly whut we hated about him. We Christian Conservatives have a visceral hatred of 'peace-niks'.

We only appreciate and acknowledge war and those who promote jingoisms.

I hate what it's become, most people do. Ask yourself how you feel about what it has become? Most recently though I find contempt for those Americans who spew but do nothing, you are the only ones that can get what you lost back.

looks like your subhead says it all... no u.s representative currently holding office is "laboring honorably for peace". the closest we have is a former president personally standing up to the corrupt regime in Sudan...

Well, the most worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize is me. I know better, I am the most qualified. However, being truthful doesn't, a Nobel Peace Prize winner make. The committee has a dossier on me that is two inches thick on paper. They have video footage from TV news, TV programs and Hollywood movies that use me as a symbol for American hypocrisy. By all rights I should win that damn'd prize. I should have won it before Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter. It pays a million dollars that I need. Read me on netscape.net. American press people are hypocrite liars. They are no better than the filthy law enforcement agents who are at my heels around the clock.

Read me on netscape.net to find out how the media, the authorities in NJ/NYC and Washington, D.C. have lied about the World Trade Center disaster.
