When a group of Leftest hand it out, this is what you get.
It is true that the Nobel Peace Prize has been degraded because it was given to some who certainly did not deserve it. It would be a shame for the Nobel Prizes in the fields of Science, Medicine and Literature to be tarnished because of the actions of the Peace Prize Committee. My nephew received the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and I know how hard he has worked and continues to work on medical research. My family is so very proud of his accomplishments. I want to share what a fellow Freeper wrote to me on another thread:
“Congrats to your nephew and as someone pointed out earlier today, all the Nobel awards for medicine, chemistry. literature etc are given out by the Swedish group of scientists and over the years, people who made significant contributions in those fields have been honored.
The Peace Prize is awarded by Norwegian politicians and accordingly has fallen victim to political agenda’s. I think when they gave Carter the award in 2002, the committee chairman emphasized that it was intended to be “a kick in the leg” of the Bush administration. So this Nobel award, especially in the last few decades, has little credibility and merit left. Unfortunately other deserving winners have seen their Peace prize tarnished.
But your nephew;s award in medicine is certainly an honor and the vast majority of people can make the distinction between the science awards and this politically motivated nonsense.”
