Arguing in light of that would be like arguing with a dining room table.

Okay, since Stew was generating pretty unintelligible gibberish, I threw together my interpretation of the Holy Scripture that is the Norwegian Nobel Committee release. I added a few comments of my own to clarify what they really meant.
The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. [Translation: We all know that talking about doing something is much more important than just doing it. That's why we didn't give the Peace Prize to Ronald Reagan for the INF Treaty and the START I Treaty.] Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. [Translation: We are pleased that we now get more of a say in running things, despite not having had to invest any of our own blood or treasure. Hopefully, we can just do away with this whole silly “American sovereignty” thing soon.] Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. [Translation: We prefer a world in which nobody with morals or ethics possesses any weapons more powerful than a harsh lecture. Now when we wish to do something bad, like annex a neighboring country, we can simply look apologetic and still get away with it.] Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened. [Translation: By creating and carefully defining a boogeyman that doesn't actually exist, we get to be the sole arbiters of whether or not it has actually been defeated, so we can keep the wealthy countries on the hook for trillions of dollars worth of transfer payments. Everyone knows the United States has never helped improve human rights and democracy in the world, apart from the 9 months Obama has been in office.] Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. [Translation: Because foreigners have benefited from the export of American culture, technology, and increased leisure time, and now recognize Obama from watching cable television, the American President should naturally be one that foreigners choose, rather than Americans. Since most Americans aren't really interested in watching other countries governments on TV, they will continue to elect their own leaders.] For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. [Translation: It has taken over a century of our careful manipulation of the American political process, but we finally managed to install our Manchurian Candidate!] The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges." [Translation: Hey! We know the United States has been paying the bills for everything for a long time! Don't blame us...Obama said it!] Oslo, October 9, 2009

Political arguments - YOU CAN'T WIN. The Left won't accept any of the Right's political concepts, and the Right won't accept any of the Left's concepts. That's as close to agreement either will give the other. Those in the middle - can't make any forward progress because they are swimming upstream against both the Left and the Right, neither of which can stand someone who only PARTIALLY agrees with them. The middle represents COMPROMISE (actually using the "business world lingo" BEST PRACTICES which takes the good from wherever it's found and disregards the bad similarly) which is unthinkable to both Left and Right wingers. Poltical "argument" isn't worth the breath it takes, unless you are one that enjoys spinning topics to reflect the direction you lean, avoiding truth and logic. Politicians don't want to really engage in making hard decisions that benifit the majority of the citizens, otherwise this County wouldn't be in the economic difficulty we now find ourselves.
Cynical as I may be, it is beyond dispute that a politician's biggest job, that takes the biggest percentage of his time and effort -and let's not forget MONEY - is getting elected, and therafter - all together now, this is real easy - getting re-elected. It's been fun reading all the comments anyway. ;=) |

So guys, what do you think of Umpire Phill Cuzzi's call in the Yankee - Twins game last night? I think he deserves UMPIRE OF THE YEAR, just for trying to make the right call based upon recent precedent. Well that may be the Yankee's opinion. I'm sure the Twins would like his head on a pike. Bear any relevance to something we were talking about? Depends on which side of the stadium you're sitting on. Last edited by bassboogieman; 10-10-09 at 12:10 PM. |

this is getting a little out of hand gang. the folks FOR obama are taking things outta context, and the ones against obama are too to an extent. i like what bassbogie said. he is right about the left and right wings. there seems to be no middle ground anymore. either way we ALL lose. think about it. ALL OF US WILL LOSE IN THE END. we have no true leadership on EITHER side. if you say i am wrong, i truly don't care. i am SO tired of left and right wings running and RUINING this country. i don't say much about polotics because of this sort of thing. i vote each election. and no.....i do NOT think obama was the right choice. but there aren't many other canidates out there that are blowing my mind with their plans either. one day though there will rise a true leader. a leader that will think of ALL americans. quit being cynical gang......BOTH SIDES. tired of these types of things on here.
sorry gang, i am just sick of seeing this country being split down the middle by politics. didn't mean to offend anyone. just tired of of it.

Yay!!! +1000 to the Ostriches who just want peace and quiet!
You have the 30% left wing, the 30% right wing, and the 40% who just plain don't give a crap. I'll give you one guess who scares me the most.

Bama's heart, as well as some of yalls, is definitely in the right place. But the more I have researched politics, I have come to the conclusion that this notion of what the right and left represents is off, and is really a distraction. Instead of thinking in terms of left-dem vs right-gop, for a second try thinking of those who want centralization and power in the federal government, and those in favor of decentralization, pluralism and more personal autonomy as comprising the two poles of American politics. When you start thinking like that, you will come up with a model that more accurately describes what we are seeing. You will also see that a supposed righty like me can sometimes be on the same side as a supposed lefty like Dennis Kucinich or Bernie Sanders.

You guys know that even though I get irritated with the people who don't want to hear about it (probably not as irritated as they get with me haha), I still know their hearts are in the right place. I just wish they weren't as beaten into submission. This is one of the very few countries in the world where you have the right to argue politics openly, and I see people just giving that right away, and then sort of trying to shame others into doing the same. It drives me nuts.
