Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: Seems A Bit Premature, No?
Commented Oct 09, 2009 at 11:38:06 in Media
“Awarding President Obama the Noble Peace Prize has squarely put the responsibility of striving for world peace on the shoulders of a young President who represents the next generation of world leaders. A rallying cry of recognition for all who work in the day to day world for peace that a new generation of leadership has taken up the torch. An open hand after YEARS of a clenched fist.
Absolutely amazing that everyone doesn't get that.”

Michele Bachmann: We Have To "Slit Our Wrists, Be Blood Brothers" Against Health Care Reform

“There were several ways to establish a blood Covenant. The two parties agreed upon the terms, they either slit their palms and joined hands or slit their wrist and joined wrists, mingling their blood. It is interesting that the handshake is the remnant of this practice.
By all means, Michele you really should proceed, no time to waste. Please include Huckabee, Grassley, Barton, Olson, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity and all the other toadies bought by "free enterprise" you get the point.
Whatever...the public option is going to be a reality.”

“Exactly how is an old YouTube link a link to who and what Dick Cheny is now. Is that or is that not a superficial, knee-jerk response. It's arrogant. YouTube will tell you what you need to know. Seriously? Or is everything (are there any troglodytes who believe this left) we see and hear on the Internet the TRUTH. Consider the source. Gee. Wizzzz. No. Dick Cheny is WRONG. He was WRONG. He will always be WRONG. I don't CARE what's on YouTube. Cheny's response to most everything is the response of the grunt. And I don't mean a military grunt. I mean a one dimensional, one-answer-for-everything, one tiny, miniscule, subatomic, dull-thinking GRUNT who is more interested in the status quo than a nuanced answer to anything. These are fundamental, complex problems. A YouTube link? Duuuhhhh. I guess the next time I want the truth, I'll go to YouTube.

Obama Touts Tire Inflation In Symbolic Pushback To Partisan Critics

A growing body of experts say that moderate reductions in meat consumption will mitigate climate change, lessen fossil fuel dependence, conserve fresh water and help reduce the chronic preventable conditions that today kill 70 percent of all Americans --cancer, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

"Running a tire 20 percent underinflated - only 5 to 7 pounds per square inch (psi) - can increase fuel consumption by 10 percent. That can easily cost motorists two or three miles per gallon. Not only that, but running underinflated also reduces the tire's tread life," said Bob Toth, Goodyear's general manager, auto tires.”

If you don't believe in abortion than don't have one, but don't make that choice for anyone else.

Ok than just get out of the way as the rest of us get on with our lives. So SICK of being hijacked by a small percentage of the population.

Let's take your comment on stem cell research. The main problem I have with Obama's decision is that I don't want to pay for something I consider immoral. Using human beings for research where their life must be ended in order to conduct it, sounds a lot like Nazi Germany. No thanks. Is there something you consider immoral? Would you want the government to use your tax dollars to pay for it?
There was nothing stopping those who wanted to put their own funds toward embryonic stem cell research previously. They simply didn't see enough value, evidently. If you are so on-board with stem cell research, why don't you put up your own private funds to support it?”
