Swedes abuse Nobel's great work to make another political statement . . . .
Citing his incredible "diplomatic efforts," (REALLY, Rajjpuut is NOT making this up!) the Nobel Academy in Sweden awarded Barak Obama its 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Rajjpuut would have advised the Nobel committee to wait and see exactly what effect Obama's overtures to Communist dictators and spurning of America's traditional allies will have before making any such commitment since Neville Chamberlain was surely one of their nominees at one time and his "bold efforts" came to nought quite quickly . . . Obama, seemingly doing far less and making no real peace accomplishments deserves this award for being a half-black American President and nothing more?
The Nobel Prize people in Sweden over the last three or four decades have used the Nobel Peace Prize to make ridiculous political statements that have nothing to do with peace at all. Apparently Republicans like Ronald Reagan speaking in the shadow of the Berlin Wall, “Tear Down this Wall, Mr. Gorbachov!” and later sitting down with Gorbachov and ending the Cold War . . . the greatest threat to human, animal and plant life ever known on earth . . . apparently such Republicans are NOT eligible. But Sweden, land of ultra-socialism, admires ultra-liberal American Democrats exceedingly.
In 1939, Adolf Hitler received a Nobel Peace Prize nomination for annexing Austria and winning the Sudetenland from the Czechs without a shot . . . the Swedes were spared the ignominy of Hitler actually winning the prize (he was highly regarded by the Nobel academy), when Germany attacked Poland six weeks before the prize would have been announced and the nomination was hastily withdrawn. This is why, Mr. Nobel’s interests are always best honored by WAITING a few years to see how things turn out. Certainly Neville Chamberlain in 1938 or 1939 would have made more sense as a nominee than Hitler (who clearly NEVER used peaceful methods to get what he wanted but rather employed goons and instigators to do so), but waiting even two years after the Munich Accords where Chamberlain declared, “We shall have peace in our time,” would have shown the world the clear dangers of appeasement of saber-rattlers.
The awarding of Peace Prizes to American Presidents and Vice Presidents of liberal persuasion makes absolutely no sense, they've done nothing for PEACE. Centrist Democrat John F. Kennedy did more for world peace by standing up to the missile-planters in 1962 and making his speech at the Berlin Wall than all the liberals in the halls of American and British government could ever hope to do. Today’s peace prize with a small “p” to Obama is one of the most curious in a whole line of ridiculous Peace Prize decisions seemingly an Affirmative Action Nobel Peace Prize . . . .
If, on the other hand, Obama REALLY received the award for APPEASEMENT of Vladimir Putin by turning his back on the Czechs (akin to Chamberlain ironically) and NOT placing purely defensive anti-missiles in their country . . . it's obvious that the Swedes don't understand history nor aggressors . . . .
For example, no lasting peace ever came of Jimmy Carter’s lame efforts but he won the Nobel peace prize (with a little "p") for his Middle-East attempts. The pathetic masquerade of science that created Al Gore’s unsound movie based upon notions of “global warming” has absolutely nothing to do with peace . . . and yet Sweden decided Gore deserved the peace price, go figure. As mentioned earlier the Swedes quite apparently just like liberal American Democrats?
The Nobel Peace Prizes given to Mohandas K. Gandhi and later to his American Disciple Martin Luther King, Jr. are among the few notables to have received this highly-politicized award that have actually made lasting contributions to World Peace. A whole slew of Arabs and Israelis and Carter have received peace prizes for proving nothing, accomplishing nothing and merely being folks that the Swedes liked. Lets compare peace prize recipients Martin Luther King and Barak Obama:
Martin Luther King Barak Obama
Was an oppressed American Black Kissed Chavez's butt
Created beneficial social change Kissed Chavez's butt
Freed millions from oppression Kissed Chavez's butt
Risked his life numerous times for PEACE Has done nothing for peace
and Freedom or freedom
Used peaceful methods to transform Kissed Chavez's butt
the American landscape
Was a real American hero Is a disgustingly short-sighted politico
Was a man of integrity Finds it difficult to string two honest
sentences together
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery
