You are absolutely right, it is dispiriting and disquieting to know that the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to a man on the basis of no accomplishment whatsoever except having achieved the right skin pigment and having pronounced an indictment of his own country. It reveals the depths of anti-Americanism in many elitist circles in Europe and elsewhere, not excluding the United States. It reveals the power of the left to manipulate the world by manipulating its own institutions. It confirms that much of the world has been given over to agitprop and has abandoned decency.
The evidence accumulates that we are in a very very dangerous world.
One need only reflect for a minute that George Bush has liberated tens of millions of people and kept the world safe from a terrorist holocaust. For this he is reviled while the man who has made the world he inherited as president less safe while simultaneously undermining the ability of his own country to keep the world safe, is made laureate.
God help us all.
This is one huge slap at Mr Bush and the idea that America must be strong and defend itself. Zer0 wins by apologizing for everything we do, and being friendly with despots. In short, no surprise the far left nobel committee gives him the prize!
Who will be among the first to congratulate him though, and be totally gracious about it? GWB! That should almost make HIM more eligible for this meaningless prize.
Norway is arguably the most anti-American and anti-Israel country in western Europe, more even than France. Obama is being rewarded in advance for selling out Israel.
