75% of the country is shocked and thinks Obama hasnt earned it yet. That's just conservatives?

The international community is pretty much the same way. They are shocked and questioning what he has actually done.

Is Europe conservative as well? or Asia? Africa?

 

[Old Rocks]

What will shock the Conservatives even more is he goes ahead and does earn it.

What will shock the Conservatives even more is he goes ahead and does earn it.

And that's when he should get it. Not beforehand.

Let's not kid ourselves. The award was not given to Barack Obama, it was given to the voters for throwing out Dubya.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Exactly so, putting on notice certain of the bushrangers that if they try to travel internationally they will be arrested for war crimes.

I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't just the opposite of what the libertards think it is. They take it as a compliment from the Nobel Inst. but in fact it is their idea of a joke. And it's a very funny one.

On the bright side, if 75% of the country is now conservative, it doesn't bode well for the DNC in the '10 elections.

I'd say it's more absurd for a guy who was President for less than two weeks to be nominated and win an award it takes most people a lifetime of "achievement" to receive than it is for conservatives to be gobsmacked about it. Then again, I'm a conservative, so maybe I'm biased.

What Price for Obama’s Nobel Prize?

What do the Norwegian Nobel arbiters expect to collect from President Barack Obama? They have just awarded him a peace prize which Obama himself suggests was extended on credit — or so he implied in telling reporters Friday morning that he wasn’t sure he’d done enough to deserve it.

But the Nobel Norwegians express not only their hope that he will play out their fantasies, but their confidence that he is “now the world’s leading spokesman” for their preferred “international policy and attitudes.”

Who are these folks issuing Obama a prize on credit to steer America along their preferred course? The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five Norwegians, whose members are appointed by the parliament of Norway. Ever heard of Thorbjorn Jagland? Active for decades in the Socialist International, a collectivist who navigated a long series of embarrassing moments in Norwegian politics to become current Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Jagland now heads the Norwegian Nobel Committee. His fellow members who have just issued this Nobel IOU to a sitting American president are — are we ready for global policy guided by this crowd? – Kaci Kullman Five, Sissel Marie Ronbeck, Inger-Marie Ytterhorn and Agot Valle.

What, more specifically, might they be expecting of Obama? For starters, Norway, along with neighboring Sweden and Denmark, has been banging the drum for America to hand over to the United Nations enormous control over and constraints upon the U.S. economy, in the name of (warming/cooling/take-your-pick) climate change. Thus did Norway’s Nobel committee bestow its favors in 2007 on Al Gore and the UN’s Self-Interested Panel of Politically Corrupted Science — excuse me, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. And this December the UN is convening a big climate conference in Copenhagen, with which the U.N. hopes to “seal” its growth-stunting UN-enriching climate “deal.”...

Again, "ALL" true patriotic Americans should be "PROUD" that "OUR" president won this award!!!

While we do not want to detract from the wonderful award President Obama just received. We thought in the interest of fairness to the conservative republican President George W. Bush, we should mention his most prestigious prize. While not a 'Noble' it does demonstrate his uncanny ability in another area of accomplishment.


This just in from UFMO:

George W. Bush has won the 'War and Fear Award' given each year by the well know doomsayers, End Time Soon, ETS has presented this award for approximately 1007 years, they formed just after the First Millennium didn't bring in the clouds and stuff. Bush was noted for his war policies, his talking to spirits, and his recalcitrance in the face of so much tragedy. His VP got an honorable mention for sticking to untenable positions about WMDs that brought great fear to the world. A special note went out to Homeland Security for the masking tape and plastic covering scare and the nicely colored threat notices. Conservative MSM, especially Fox, got an honorable mention for their distortions of truth which lead to so much doubt and fear. The TV shows Beck and Hannity were also noted for continually perpetuating misinformation about threats and scaring the bejesus out of the common folk. All and all it was a good for war and fear, especially fear, an ETS spokesman proclaimed.

GOP strategy...Insurgency

Friday, February 6, 2009

Texas Republican Congressman Pete Sessions compares GOP strategy to Taliban insurgency

"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban, and that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- I'm not trying to say the Republican Party is the Taliban. No, that's not what we're saying. I'm saying an example of how you go about [sic] is to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that insurgency may be required when the other side, the House leadership, does not follow the same commands, which we entered the game with."

Taliban condemns Obama's Nobel Peace Prize

Conservatives condemn Hamas and the Taliban, not try to appease them, moron........

No you're confused...you share values and beliefs with the Taliban and Hamas, you just don't share the same nationalism...

October 16, 2001

What's truly ironic about this whole war is that the conservatives in our country do not seem to realize that the Taliban is simply an extreme version of the same primal impulse that drives them.

In every population there is a distribution of conservative to progressive, aggressive to peaceful, etc. The famous classical game theoretic model, the Hawk-Dove contest, shows that the evolutionarily stable population in that model is not all hawks or all doves, but rather a certain degree of each; in that model, 58% "doves" and 42% "hawks". It stands to reason that it is expected that you will have both types of personality in your population. Similarly, I believe a stable distribution of political sensibility is probably one with both progressive and conservative elements.

Of course, it's funny how the same personality type seems to latch on to radically different ideas depending on the society. "Conservatives" here profess a belief in capitalism and extol the virtues of the good old days of the 1950's, a half century ago; "conservatives" in Russia pine for the bygone days of the stability of the old Soviet empire. I believe that the propensity in conservatives is not towards ideologies per se, but rather towards status quo versus change. I'd bet you'd find much more psychologically (and perhaps genetically?) similar between conservatives here and in Russia, despite the fact that they profess supposedly opposite nostalgias.

But of course a typical conservative doesn't look at the conservatism of their enemy and learn to moderate themselves; they see the enemy as an "other", as confirmation of their own rigid views, despite the evident similarity between the two stances.

LOL, and yet, liberals get twelve kinds of butthurt when someone dares to make this comparison:

Obama: in favor of more government intervention, supports socialist ideas
Hitler: in favor of more government intervention, leader of the Nazi party, the term Nazi has socialist in it

I guess tenuously associating Americans with evil people really isn't just for the tea baggers.
