Obama Nobel Peace Laureate

Dont forget the Pulitzer.. he did come out with a few books.
Below is a conversation I had with a friend of mine. Obviously we stand on different lines when it comes to our parties.

10:06 AM Friend: bonjour cindy how u doing?

10:20 AM me: did u hear obama won the nobel peace prize

10:21 AM Friend: yes this morning. more for effort and good intentions than any results i'd say

10:31 AM Friend: u still dont like him? or u changed ur mind? :)
10:43 AM me: nah, dont like him. obama wins peace prize, but we got iran building nukes, n korea has them, our allies dont like us, where is peace?
those town hall meetings about healthcare reform were not exactly "peace"ful either

10:48 AM Friend: i agree that he hasnt achieved anything significant yet..but he seems to be a nice guy..and on the right path with regard to nukes..he talks abt reducing america's stockpile, which will then give him something to talk about with other countries...who otherwise will simply ask why is it okay for a few countries to have nukes and not the others? did u happen to read krugman today? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/09/opinion/09krugman.html?_r=1&hp

10:52 AM me: in order for peace, there must be a dominance player because we live in a world with radicals and unreasonable leaderships like fidel castro and n korea (who starves their own people) and russia (who kills their own people) and Iraq (who killed and tortured his own people). these unreasonable leaders are not out to compromise with anyone

10:54 AM me: how many times has N Korean agreed to disarmament in return for food and $$ and then renege after they received food and $$. there is something wrong w the world when the radical leaders give praise to obama and his 'leadership skills' but all our allies move away from us. they praise him because they see through him. they see he is weak and will not attack nor protect this country

10:57 AM Friend: human ego will never permit one dominant leader...besides, as the financial crisis has shown, being democratic and "advanced" doesnt mean one will be responsible...general vices like greed, selfishness, etc exist all over the world...besides, america is probably the only one to have actually used WMDs (on Japan)..so the credibility further reduces...also, most of the modern day 'rouge' leaders have been created by short-sighted CIA officials of the past..and now these radical leaders finally think there is someone they can relate to

11:16 AM me: we have weapons to not only protect US but to also protect our allies. Other countries rely on our military to protect them. Look up German's military supply, or France? Or what about Greece? Italy? Swiss? Who do you think other countries are going to look to when they see N korea is pointing their missiles in their direction? What about when N Korea was aiming their missiles in S korea's direction? What about when N Korea was pointing their missiles in Hawaii's directions? Why do so many people come to the US? We are a nation of capitalism, ideas, and power. No one goes to Iran because it's the land of opportunities. US being arm properly not only means protection our country and other countries but also our economy.

11:49 AM Friend: that is exactly what people won't accept...nobody will accept...its like me saying - "I have a multi million-dollar job. But you should be happy with 50k. You shouldn't get more than that because "I" don't believe you will use the extra money wisely. You may use that money against your neighbor or even inside your own home. If you have specific needs like groceries, etc. come to me and I'll help you". which self-respecting individual will accept that? same goes with countries..

12:45 PM me: no other except for the radical countries really think the US are bullies... And to answer your question "which self respecting country would accept help from other country? Plenty, that's why countries join the United Nations...

12:58 PM Friend: ok, we'll continue monday :)
here's something else for now - http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/news/sci-tech/11-gaza-makes-zebras-out-of-donkeys--il--04

Warning: Socialism Ahead

Take 10 minutes out of your weekend and listen to what Ronald Reagan had to say about socialized medicine in 1961.

Socialized medicine has been a liberal/socialist dream for generations and it's dangers are no less today than they were in the 60's

If you do not pay attention and make your voice heard, the free market system that our nation was built on will be dismantled and the damage will be permanent

Obama has the most radical agenda since FDR. It is up to the citizenry in this country to stand up and tell Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the clowns in D.C. that we believe the strength of this country is in it's free enterprise system; not with some bureaucrats in D.C.

Anybody still believe in that Hope and Change crap? If so, I have some land in Miami I can sell you

The Frizz Report

Bill Maher, the anti-Patriot, the idiot

WOLF BLITZER: Do you think she (Sarah Palin) has a future nationally as a presidential candidate?

BILL MAHER: I don't know about a presidential candidate but I would never put anything past this stupid country.

BLITZER: So people are already complaining that you're calling the United States a stupid country and I'm giving you a chance to clarify.

MAHER: I don't need to clarify. It is.

BLITZER: Well, tell me why you think the United States is a stupid country.

MAHER: Because Sarah Palin could be president. I mean, please, do I need to expand on that any more? Uh, yeah, I do. I think this is in general... I mean, it's a big country. That's the great thing about it. There's 300 million people here. So, within this large country, there are tens of millions of very bright, intelligent people, you know, the ones who are watching us, um, not the ones who are writing the emails.

Uh, but, you know, in general, um, gosh, uh, you know, this country just gets dumber and dumber by the day. And uh, I don't think I have time on your show to list all the reasons.

BLITZER: But you, but you . . . this country did elect Barack Obama president of the United States.

MAHER: Look who he was running against. Yes. I mean, look at the situation. I mean, this was after 8 years of Bush, which was, you know, a pretty much, a disastrous presidency. Uh, John McCain was not a very attractive candidate. And of course, he picked Sarah Palin, uh, to run beside him, and uh, you know, given that choice, I think Americans, you know, came to the fore on that one. But just because they elected a bright guy doesn't mean they're bright.

Who sold the Blacks into slavery?

To quote the words of freed slave Ottobah Cugoano, who was writing in the late 18th century, we find the answer: "But I my own, to the shame of my own countrymen, that I was first kidnapped and betrayed by my own complexion, who were the first cause of my exile and slavery ; but if there were no buyers there would be no sellers."
Sins of The Fathers: A Study of the Atlantic Traders 1441-1807", by James Pope-Hennessey, p. 174-5.

Black is beautiful?

Black is sleek. The black American Express. The black Porsche boxster. The little black dress. And then you have the Blacks. How did the word black become synonymous with luxury and status when how we really came to know of the word is by the African Americans who occupy our govt housings? History has not been fair to them, America is sensitive towards their anguish. We have affirmative action, we acknowledge Martin Luther King, when is enough enough? We have govt housing, welfare programs, assistance programs, how much more of a handicap is needed? Why are they so helpless and continue to allow the white man dictate their lives? They voted for a Black man to be in office but aside from historic reasons, why? Now what? I will never know how it feels like to be a Black person, Hispanic person, or White and they will never how would it feels to walk in my shoes, but everyone has obstacles. Yes, even the White people. White people dont come with white picket fences. They have to buy them just like the rest of us. Why get so caught up on how unfair society is because guess what? Society is not fair to anyone. No one escapes difficulties in life. I know how it is to be me and I can complain about my experiences growing up that I think contributes to where I want to be versus where I am right now, but I'm not going to do that. Because no one is more responsible for myself then myself.
They have spent so much time blaming others for their inadequacies and hang ups, they forgot to study and learn their ABC's. They want respect so they hide behind guns and gang logos. I thank the ones who care about their lives and the lives of their loved ones because 5 years from now, they will have acquired more wealth and happiness, they will have more to lose being a delinquent in our society.
Cosby said it best "“turn the mirror around on ourselves.” “I think that it is time for concerned African Americans to march, galvanize and raise the awareness about this epidemic to transform our helplessness, frustration and righteous indignation into a sense of shared responsibility and action"

The King is Dead: The Race Factor...?

The gloved one is dead. Shocked, sad, surprised. How did the race issue come up? Jamie Foxx was on the BET Awards quoted saying "We want to celebrate this black man. He belongs to us and we shared him with everyone else." Really??!!? So did they also get a share of MJ's royalty checks? I dont think so, since two thirds of them are still waiting on the govt's checks. They just want a piece of everything, even if it aint theirs. P Diddy felt the media was being racist for bringing up MJ's negative past. "The way y'all are reporting on this man's life..you know, you know, we didn't do Elvis like that. We didn't do JFK like that. This man is like, you know, one of the greatest heroes for us. He's one of the reasons why Barack Obama's president". First of all, yes we did report on Elvis and JFK like that well, and Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe and a whole host of other celebrities. Because as heartless as this may seen, bad news sells. Not everything is always about race. But it will always feel that way if you hold on to that. Let it go. Let it go. Everyone loved MJ. How did MJ's concert all get sold out? Certainly not by those who are still waiting for their food coupons in their $100 a month subsidized apts. Why put up the race barrier when MJ tried so hard to bring it down. What ever happened to "Heal the world, make it a better place...".
