This is an open thread so you can talk about anything. And if you can’t think of anything, well … I’ll give you a topic: Obama was denied the Olympics, then he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Each is hilarious and terrible in different ways. Discuss.
Bring the funny, but keep it clean (cough speciallist cough). If you choose to post an image or photo, please properly attribute the source. I created the thread header.

avgamerican (Diary) Saturday, October 10th at 12:17AM EST (link)There does not appear to be any virtue left in our government which reflect the words of John Adams.
This government is meant for a moral religious people. For it is inadequate for any other.
We have a secular humanist government, Voted in by an immoral society. Moral relativism always leads to tyranny.

Obama's NPP company
Return to Revolution (Diary) Friday, October 9th at 10:53PM EST (link)Woodrow Wilson, who gave us the FED, income tax and imprisoned political opposition; Arafat, who murdered, starved and enslaved his own people in addition to extorting billions of dollars through money laundering and drug trafficking; Carter, worst president in US history; Algore – enough said.
While Obama could be the most undeserving person on the planet to receive any real award, if these are the types who get the NPP, then I say they chose wisely.
Also, when you look at the people who were passed over ( http://is.gd/46RXH ) – people who dedicated their lives to their cause – you get a sense for the stunning depravity of the elitist power brokers of the planet. Yeah, lets be more like the rest of the world – a majority of whom live physically in squalor and intellectually in the dark ages.

So, I must say, thanks for the laugh NPP committee and Zero, you have put the nail in the coffin of the relevancy of the NPP. Its about damn time, and thanks for the laughs.
You can’t make this stuff up, now its about time the comedians start running with this, because I don’t care who you are this stuff is hilarious.

1.4 million for Detroits masses that showed up to get "0's stash"...
DONTREADONME (Diary) Friday, October 9th at 11:24PM EST (link)Each of the 65,000 people will get a piece of that 1.4 million dollar prize and the melt down cost of the actually will give $20 to each. For those two people that begged the most or looked the most pathetic we will give them the melt down cost of the 200g of gold of ~9000..00. So, if we set up a “progressive” system we can redistribute this more appropriately based on Marx’s I mean 0′s vision.

TNJim (Diary) Saturday, October 10th at 12:27AM EST (link)for promoting false science, I have to say it really didn’t surprise me that they would eventually award it to someone who did nothing. Since nominations were closed in February, naturally Obama qualified on that criteria. Even the Chairman if the Nobel committee seemed to be fishing for a reason for awarding it to Obama.
From the Telegraph:
I just think it’s par for the course for the Nobel committee of late.

Maybe this is why Chicago didn’t get the Olympics — the IOC didn’t want the spectacle of seeing gold medals handed out before the events are even started.

Mr Cohen forgot to mention the one truly outstanding decision that highlights President Obamas commitment to non-violent (peaceful) solutions to conflicts; the refusal to meet with that warmonger, the Dalai Lama.

** Many of the comments indicate a new mutation of BDS. Apparently criticism of The Big 0 now consigns one to the BushHitlerHaliburton ranks. And of course there’s the inevitable comment blaming the Joooooooooooos!

spacecoastconservativedotcom Monday, October 12th at 4:17AM EST (link)While listening to his acceptance speech after the announcement of his Nobel Peace Prize, I heard a sentence that just caught my attention and wouldn’t let go.

Comment from the Heartland
creditman Saturday, October 10th at 12:41PM EST (link)I am in the middle of flyover country. Actually the very heart of it. We can carry guns and do so.
I try to cruise the Lib/Progressive sites from time to time. The idea is to inform myself as to the next move of the mentioned idiots. I invite you readers to cruise the Open Left site.
The most appropriate description of these folks reminds me of a comment William Shatner made at a Trekkie Conference. To wit…..”my god, get out of the basement!” You will note that there are some main posters that lead this bunch. They appear to be at least semi-pro election workers. A lot of the commenters appear to have left their activity at computer games to tune in the site periodically. Sometimes I give them a shot. I just cant resist.
Take a cruise and watch how the wheels are starting to come off the tracks. The latest proposal that I’ve seen …..is to run as their own party because the Democrats aren’t doing what they should. Income redistribution legislation has obviously been proposed in some circles and these folks that play for a living are all for it. Well have fun…….cheers!

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

So, the tea partier protest is downplayed by the “tens of thousands” and the gay rights marched is buoyed by the “tens of thousands” characterization. Well, there you have it, the Tea Party protest = Gay Rights Movement, Thanks you tea partiers have just been marginialized.
