Sad History Of The Nobel Peace Prize

[ozzmdj]

Administered by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm, Sweden, the Nobel Prize has been awarded annually since 1901 for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and contributions to world peace. The foundations for the Nobel Prize were laid in November 1895 when Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) — a Swedish chemist and engineer best known as the inventor of dynamite — made provisions in his will to bequeath more than $4.2 million from his estate to the establishment of the awards… Sad History Of The Nobel Peace Prize | Sweetness & Light

Perhaps you do not know all you need to about Roosevelt? Sounds like a liberal to me...

[edit] Formation of the Bull Moose Party
At the Republican Convention in Chicago, despite being the incumbent, Taft's victory was not immediately assured. But after two weeks, Roosevelt, realizing he would not be able to win the nomination outright, asked his followers to leave the convention hall. They moved to the Auditorium Theatre, and then Roosevelt, along with key allies such as Pinchot and Albert Beveridge created the Progressive Party, structuring it as a permanent organization that would field complete tickets at the presidential and state level. It was popularly known as the "Bull Moose Party," which got its name after Roosevelt told reporters, "I'm as fit as a bull moose."[60] At the convention Roosevelt cried out, "We stand at Armageddon and we battle for the Lord." Roosevelt's platform echoed his 1907–08 proposals, calling for vigorous government intervention to protect the people from the selfish interests.[61]

“ To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." - 1912 Progressive Party Platform, attributed to him[62] and quoted again in his autobiography[63] where he continues "'This country belongs to the people. Its resources, its business, its laws, its institutions, should be utilized, maintained, or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest.' This assertion is explicit. ... Mr. Wilson must know that every monopoly in the United States opposes the Progressive party. ... I challenge him ... to name the monopoly that did support the Progressive party, whether ... the Sugar Trust, the Steel Trust, the Harvester Trust, the Standard Oil Trust, the Tobacco Trust, or any other. ... Ours was the only programme to which they objected, and they supported either Mr. Wilson or Mr. Taft...

HEALTH

We favor the union of all the existing agencies of the Federal Government dealing with the public health into a single national health service without discrimination against or for any one set of therapeutic methods, school of medicine, or school of healing with such additional powers as may be necessary to enable it to perform efficiently such duties in the protection of the public from preventable diseases as may be properly undertaken by the Federal authorities, including the executing of existing laws regarding pure food, quarantine and cognate subjects, the promotion of vital statistics and the extension of the registration area of such statistics, and co-operation with the health activities of the various States and cities of the Nation.

Progressive Platform of 1912

i don't see anything there about health care for individuals. perhaps you could point it out?

Unfortunately the Nobel Peace Prize has gone the way of the UN at this point. It just aint what it used to be. It has now become all about Left Wingers giving their fellow Left Wingers a pat on the back. Like the UN,this award has lost just about all credibility at this point. It's kind of like the Oscars too. Just A bunch of whiny Hollywood Liberal loons giving their fellow Liberal loons a bunch of awards. The more Anti-American and perverse,the more awards the film will receive. This President did not deserve this award. I just don't see how anyone could think different.

"The Nobel Prize represents not Peace,but Internationalism,World Government and a UN/NATO type approach to global affairs. Barack Obama has totally neutralized the Anti-War Left."

That really does say it all at this point. Thank you Dr. Paul.
