Sounds good.

Bush is the only thing between us and global socialist control. Clinton's record and the Dim candidates' world socialist hyperbole are very clear... destroy the US from within...strengthen our enemies. It's as clear as a bell.

Well said.

They gave the Nobel Peace prize to Mikhail Gorbachev, and two weeks later he sent hundreds of Russian tanks and Soviet shock troops into the Baltic states to crush a Democratic uprising there.

Still, the Boston Globe wet their panties over his recipiency 'for ending the Cold War' and demanded that statues of Gorby should be placed in capitols all over Eastern Europe.

That's what we mean when we say 'liberal media', folks. Class dismissed.

Big surprise. They were America bashing at the parents tour of The International Preschool today.

"...In the past two years, some states have violated the universal principles and laws of human rights ..."

Saddam Hussein maybe? Fidel Castro perhaps?

President Bush should be proud that he is a man For Whom (no) Nobels Toll.

The Bush administration's policies are almost systematically out of sync with international law," which is of prime importance to the Nobel jury, he said.

Being from Texas, Bush knows exactly what bullsh*t is and avoids stepping in it. Flies, on the other hand, think it makes a great lunch.

As a moderate Muslim, she has to show her fellow citizens that she is not close to the Americans

She says that we simply use 9/11 as an "excuse" to commit human rights violations, and she is considered a "moderate"???!!! Yeah, sure, we just love human rights violations over here and rejoiced in the 9/11 bombings since it gave us an excuse to engage in them. And after all, Saddam Hussein is a just a victim and not a human rights infringer. This woman is a joke.

No-balls Prize!

[international american]

Therrrrrrrrrrrre ya go!

The peace prize is a joke....some kind of cosmic parody of something.

If yassar arafat can win the "peace prize," then just exactly who cares?

[international american]

Boston Globe, NY Times, LA Times........Marx would have loved the "terrible triumverate"

"As a moderate Muslim, she has to show her fellow citizens that she is not close to the Americans," he said.

That sentence speaks volumes and volumes about the goofy cult.

[Paul Atreides]

The Nobel Prize is as worthless as the Academy Award: rarely, they are given to someone who is deserving, but most of the time they are given to whomever is the most politically correct.

"Couldn't resist the Muslim feminist".

Cool. You invented a new oxymoron.

Lech Walesa wasn't exactly known for his conservative views, but I think he was a worthy Nobel recipient. If this Iranian woman can help bring about the fall of the mullahs in Iran, I will cheer her prize too (even if Walesa thought the Pope should get it). None of us might vote for her in America, but she'd be a breath of fresh air in a fundamentalist Islamic state. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I see much movement on the Iran front (then again, Poland took 10 years).

The "peace prize" has become an irrelvant joke because it is not awarded "to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind" by those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Ebadi is a human rights activist in Iran, for Iranians. Brave, honorable, smart woman. This says more about the politics of the selectees than their recognition of someone meeting Nobel's criteria - but it's been that way for a long time now.
