When you see Dick Luger R-was Indiana, but didn’t live there get one, you know the fix was in.
Kind of like “everyone gets a ribbon.”
Anything to take the spotlight from the gutless weasels at 1600 Penn. Ave. And their foreign affairs and domestic debacles.. FRom Benghazi to the Middle East and ObamaCare as well, show me your successes, not your excesses, in and from accepting responsibility for running the most corrupt admistra.. Regime ever to hoist its ‘standard’ on these shores. A standard of surrender.
Did Gloria Steinem really wear a T-Shirt saying “I Had An Abortion”? Wow. Most women I know would not walk around boasting about having made such a private decision. I guess anything for fame and notoriety, right?
"In the end, after all is said and done, the only one missing from the day's festivities was MSNBC Palin-basher Martin Bashir. But even without Bashir, the Medal of Freedom is just another example of how everything from a college degree to the office of the president is now represented by grossly unexceptional people, or in this case, lying adulterers, ardent abortionists, and race baiters."
They are so unbelievably without standards, dignity or a sense of decency. Everything this guy and his people touch turns to poo. No reason why this should be an exception. The dregs of society are running our country.

the entertainment industry is the pinnacle of moral poverty and abuse you go girl
Cheapest shot of the week. Sally Ride never claimed to be homosexual in her lifetime. She deserves to be remembered for her achievement, not as some gay milestone. Denigrating her as a "deceased homosexual" rather than as an astronaut is as bad worse than honoring her as a lesbian, an identity she never acknowledged publicly.
Bayard Rustin was a distinguished civil rights leader who deserved the reward on the basis of his achievements. Though he started out as a radical he ended up (for better or worse) something of a neocon. He also deserves to be remembered as more than some publicity-hungry blogger's cheap shot.
As always these awards are a mixed bag. A lot of politics and pandering goes into the choices. But I can't see running down everyone on the list because you don't like a few of the honorees.
2013 Medal of Freedom?
Or, reconstituted shrouded Order of Lenin?
Obama has degraded every standard, moral and institution of this country since he became president. Degrading the Medal of Freedom is just one other in a long line of spitting on this country by this America Hater.
You’d expect this to happen from a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
That award belongs on the ash heap of history of once great things progressives destroyed. Good riddance. The inventor of the suicide bombing gets the Nobel peace prize, a charlatan fraud gets the Nobel prize, and now baby killing eugenicists and disgraced impeached serial abusers get the presidential awards.
