Emile Cammaerts, after G. K. Chesterton:

“The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything”

Or apparently anyone.

Even Obama’s fans will have to see this as a complete joke.

I was thinking the same thing for a bit this morning. But now I am not so sure. I have made the mistake of over-estimating these people time and time again...

“Even Obama’s fans will have to see this as a complete joke.”

No, I don’t think so.

The fan base of Kool-Aid Drinkers will see this as affirmation of their intelligence and smarts in the election of The Pseudo Messiah.

You cannot dissuade the hard third occupying the left pews. It is the middle that needs to be persuaded.

Thought it was a joke too when I woke up this morning.

Me too.

If the NPP had a tarnished image before, this has completely flushed it. What a sick, sad commentary on the state of the human race.

Nominations were made 11 days into obamination’s term. Was the fix in or what? Possibly because he said he would fundamentally change the US?(into a 3rd world country)

Well, he was a black man who got elected. That was his only accomplishment before the Nobel nomination. The Nobel prize was given to him as piece of international affirmative action.

It’s ridiculous that the selection process has become so politicized that the peace award is being given to charlatans and fakes rather than those who’ve worked for real peace their whole lives....

You have got to be kidding...the man who through his ineptitude will cause the deaths of millions, who through his evilness is promoting abortions, the man who has extended a hand to every murderous government while spitting in the hand of civilized nations won the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, the formerly prestigious award has no meaning now.

“excuse me folks but i am going to puke.”

Don’t do that.

Just marvel at how much Zero has done in less than 2 weeks after inauguration. A Nobel Peace Prize in Two Weeks.

That has to be some kind of record.

Just think how much more* he can do, given time.

Empty meets empty.

Who even knew he’d been nominated? Occasionally, I think the slobbering might become so extreme that some in the MSM and other lefties might even be embarrassed, but that’s still an open question.

This guy, and any of his bull shit spouting, should be reported as “an abuse” to the free republic web site.

May almighty God have mercy on our country.
