Would It Truly Be Noble to Just Say No?

Well I read with much delight Eugene Robinson's article in a recent Washington Post offering. Who exactly pays this man's salary?

In his column He asks for ... somebody to explain this to me. What this is, is the issue of Barack Obama receiving an award. He was irritated that a few persons of character would denounce Obama for accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. He acts rather jocose when he states that the award may be the world's most prestigious award. Now I wish I had a bird in a cage because his article would surely be adorning its bottom level, with the bird having literally free run of the entire area as it saw fit.

Prestigious you say Eugene? Let's look at this award that according to Robinson is the cat's meow around worldly circles. In 2007, Al Gore received a portion of the award for among other things his orchestrating of an economic upturn for many. Those that have profited handsomely for the on-going perpetrating of the global warming hoax think he was a good choice. The misguided Hollywood elite (the bastions of immorality) that gave Gore an award for his Inconvenient Truth (aka The Inconvenient Lie) were just giddy and elated at his winning the PRESTIGIOUS Nobel Peace Prize. Recently a court has brought the curtain down on Gore's ever-increasing waistline by indicating that his movie had NINE fatal flaws, aka mistruths, aka LIES,

Another great selection in recent times was in 2001, when Kofi Annan (aka let's see how much money I can get for my brother and my family Annan) received it. The awards committee alleged that he received it for his work for a better organized and more peaceful world. Really! Well let's look at the facts. During his tenure at the helm of the impotent United Nations he refused to meaningfully confront mass genocide in Sudan, Rwanda, and Bosnia. He got down on all fours while allowing the departed, hanged Saddamn Hussein regime to run amok. Global terrorism picked up during his tenure of world peacekeeping. In the Congo (a neighbor of his beloved homeland Ghana) he was the captain of the ship that allowed (by inaction) U.N personnel certain human rights violations against the poor and down trodden refugees. The coup de gras was his leadership or lack thereof in dealing with the scandal that emanated from the food for oil program. Annan's feathers weren't the least bit ruffled by the multi-million dollar scandal when his organization was presented a scathing briefing by Charles Duelfer (the weapons of mass destruction inspector). Duelfer who wrote that Annan's handpicked appointee Benji Saavan, who oversaw the oil for food program allegedly received a payment voucher from Saddam Hussein himself, to the tune of 13 million (with an M) barrels of oil. Hmmm! How many Hummers does Saavan own? That's a ubiquitous amount of oil. I'd say someone has a lot of SPLAINING TO DO LUCY!

In 1994, Yasser " keep the little boys away from him" Arafat received 1/3 of the Nobel Peace Prize. I love that don't you... the prestigious award is oftentimes cut into threes or halves. This man was at the bottom of an on-going terrorist operation while at the helm of the PLO.

Let's see if these Scandinavians can get the courage to consider Kim Jong il a 1/3 portion of the PRESTIGIOUS award in the future. But let's not forget the rather disheveled Iranian Akmadenijan, he is someone who would add prestige to this worldwide award.

Now we have Barack Hussein Obama... Robinson quipped that conservatives hate America. Really? I think Eugene fell off his hobby horse again. Robinson, conservatives hate socialism. They hate Communists. They hate people who are dressed in sheep's clothing but are actually evil destructive forces that want to weaken our great country.

Now Eugene it is preposterous that an award would be given to someone who has as his resume a speech given in West Berlin (that was broadcast to the world). Sorry Eugene, it is a travesty, it is a farce. Obama even uttered that he didn't deserve it!!! You're on the Titanic Robinson listening to the band.

Further, in Robinson's column he writes that even if Obama ended all hunger in the world that his critics would accuse him of promoting obesity. He further writes that if Obama solved global warming that his detractors would claim it was getting chilly. Well Robinson, it really is getting chillier than it is getting warmer. Since 1992 as a matter of fact. But I've never wanted to confuse you with the facts.

Robinson's rather rude observation that the Taliban and Republican leaders are joined in some nexus regarding this award going to Obama is quite absurd. The slogan " I'm With The Taliban Against America" is somehow been juxtapositioned as meaningful dialogue? Republicans above all else would like to see the Taliban blown back into the 3rd century.

Once more I fear that Robinson needs to extract his head from the kitty litter sandbox. He is rather engaged in Obama's new leadership and direction, even opining that his policy will more likely succeed in a multipolar world (whatever the hell that means). Multipolar? Hmm. Are the polar bears really becoming extinct? Well they're numbers are increasing Mr. Gore! So are the caribou in Alaska!

Ok, let's get to the crux here. Robinson alleges (rather foolishly) that the award is nothing more than an acknowledgement of what Obama has been saying and doing thus far. But Eugene, nominations for this PRESTIGIOUS AWARD ended in the first days of February. To date, Obama has nothing to show for his barnstorming globe-trotting tour, that had at its cornerstone
the continued criticism of the greatest nation on the planet Earth.

Obama, according to Robinson has taken on the rescue of the U.S. financial system and the long-term restructuring of the economy. Really! Is this relevant to world peace? Wasn't this done after the close of nominations to the elite Nobel Peace Prize committee? Would you say that going from approximately a 545 billion dollar embarrassment to well over a 2 trillion dollar indiscretion meets the standard of rescuing the economy? Would you say Mr. Robinson that 10% unemployment rates generally do not forebode well for a government that is short of revenue? Trying to gag 83% of Americans that want to keep their existing health care as it is with minor adjustments would send the deficit to well over 3 trillion dollars. I write this in deference to your claim Mr. President that not one dime of increase will transpire. Rescuing our economy indeed Mr. President. Indeed Mr. Robinson. (Say is Mrs. Robinson still seeing that young man Dustin Hoffman)? Where's Joe Dimmagio when we need him, for after all a nation is turning it's lonely eyes to you for help!

Where's that bird cage and canary when I need it? Speaking of canaries... I think we Americans are sometimes looked upon by our misguided spendthrift Congress as frail little birds lowered in the bowels of the mine shaft.

In his campaign (which has never ended) Obama wants to be remembered as a transformational president. Well Mr. President, I can respectfully point out that you are well on your way to achieving bliss. After all your socialistic programs have started to unfold. Many of your appointments have proven to be incompetent tax-dodging cheats, Communistic loving ideologues, blithering babbling idiots, corrupt America hating left-wing lapdogs, and a general overall theme of being NON-TRANSPARENT.

The American public is onto your healing process Mr. President. YOUR change is not what we want.

Now is it a nobler act to say thanks, but no thanks?

Oh How The Weak Have Fallen

My old buddy Eugene Robinson is like a dog without a bark. Eugene's drivel is once again embarrassing himself and the Washington Post. According to Robinson .... President Barack Obama is the one who must make the decision on how to proceed with the war in Afghanistan, not the generals. He further states that the generals should shut up and salute, and that's after he writes that he has enormous respect for the general's patriotism and service. He gives them the same respect that Senator "I worked hard for my position" Boxer gave to the general at a Senate hearing a few month ago.

General Stanley McChrystal the commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan (according to Robinson) is entitled to his opinion about the best way to proceed going forward. According to Eugene, McChrystal (whose reputation and job is on the line, as are the precious human beings known as our military men and woman, to be as successful a commander as he can be) should be making his push for more troops to Obama candidly, in private.

Well Robinson... that's exactly what McChrystal did in August of this year. Now moving forward to September, nothing had been done. Obama's lack of leadership continues to surface as he barnstorms around the world criticizing out country, and not making the decisions that presidents are paid to do. Obama muttered those famous words to make himself appear to be tough when he was running for president to-wit: Afghanistan was a war of necessity. I agree Mr. President.

Ok, hello Barack! The call at 3 in the morning has come, why aren't you answering it?

Robinson continues to natter that what needs to be achieved in Afghanistan is a political question, and that we don't pay generals to do politics. He says "that's the job of the president and the Congress..." Ok Barack, and the Congress do you think the Taliban is going to wait for the big decision to be made by a man who in his entire life hasn't run a lemonade stand on the corner? And anyone who thinks politics can be separated from the military in a situation SUCH as this, is as naive as our impervious leader is on world affairs. Really though, what can we expect from someone who thinks there are 57 states in our USA?

Now finally, Robinson points out that it would be dereliction of duty for the president not to consider alternatives to the issue of sending more troops to the theatre known as Afghanistan. Hmmm!

Now Robinson shows his overall ignorance of the history lesson in Afghanistan vis-a-vis that the Russians placed huge numbers of troops into the area and got a failed result for dominance. That part of his idea is factual since they never defeated the locals, but exacted a pound of flesh that ruined the next generation of potentially able bodied men. Please explain to Eugene that we are not there in Afghanistan for dominance.

To compare 1980's warfare with modern day technologies is foolhardiness. Someone explain it to Robinson at the next latte guzzling. Calculating and calibrating the proper U.S.military presence is a high-stakes exercise Robinson.... one best performed by the professionals in the uniforms that bear the little stars on their shoulders, and not a community organizer, who is all too busy and preoccupied listening to the Chicago seven calling the shots from a scurrilous playbook.

Eugene, isn't it refreshing when a reporter asks a professional soldier a question with regards to the allocation of troops and gets an honest answer, one that comes quickly without pause, or a dozen UMMS followed by a carefully measured answer ala Barack Hussein Obama?

If privacy is what you want Robinson for the tet-a-tet between the allied commander and the president... I can live with it. Unfortunately, that's exactly what went down, but far be it for me to confuse you with the facts. What McChrystal didn't know then (August 2009) was that he was dealing with a greenhorn, one that couldn't make a decision if his life depended on it. Too bad the lives of our precious troops are the ones that are laying down their lives.

Bark on Robinson!
