This medal is now a useless chunk of metal.
A devalued honor, like the Nobel Prize.
Sort of like the old Soviet Union, where the comrades would walk around with their fronts covered with all kinds of shiny medals for potty training, party loyalty, etc.
Yep. As meaningless as the Nobel Peace Prize.
Steinem who proudly wears a t-shirt that says “I had an abortion” which she had before ‘73 in The UK and thought, “This is so great, it should be legal in the US”.... The woman is EVIL personified.
Presidential Medal of Freedom means nothing ,just like Nobel Peace Prize
I was going to say, after this if I was offered this award I’d decline it.
Not even if it had chocolate inside. Like that noble piece of crap.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
There never was any meaning in these silly awards anyway. They have always been an excuse to reward political pals, and make the elite feel even better about themselves. Who gives a rat’s butt?
Yup. But I find it interesting how the politicization of the Medal of Freedom so closely parallels what happened to the Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor was created during the unCivil War. By the end of the war it was being handed out to party hacks and politically connected. I think it was in the 1870s during the Grant administration, it was decided to restore the Medal to it’s original intent. I forget now, but I think over a hundred recipients had their Medals taken back. Now it is one of the most valued medals for valor in the world or even in history.
All Putin need to do now, is give Snowden the Russian Presidential Medal of Freedom...LMAO!
PSALM :8
You, Lord, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked,
8 who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.
And we shall know our enemoy by these medals around their necks!
*SPIT*
Just like an oscar, emmy, espy you name it... If you don’t win it in competition it is meaningless.
“If you dont win it in competition it is meaningless.”
I like the way you think. Our oldest son says that any competition without an objective measure of success (points scored, best time, etc.) isn’t a real competition. Figure skating, for example, is silly. It may be pretty, but it’s not really competition nor a sport.
Along with the Nobel Peace prize that was given to Arafat of all people - along with Carter and Obamalamadingdong before he did anything ....
Bingo, either by clock or score against an opponent. Anything based entirely on being judged is a subjective pant load.
Oh yeah. Those captured little creatures, with no way to run, no where to hide, have no freedom when the suction tube cometh.
