Prez: Give back the prize!

Mother Teresa
A REAL & Deserving Nobel Peace Prize Winner!

John Lofton, host of the American View radio show to which I listen to from time to time on-line, is heard in his shows introduction after he plays a sound bite of Al Gore chirping about global warming tells Gore to, "Shut up Al, give back the (Nobel Peace) prize." That is what I say to the current occupier of the White House, who is the newest recipient of the now meaningless fraudulent "prize". The President now joins fellow global warming alarmist Gore and other undeserving recipients including another enemy appeaser and incompetent leader Jimmy Carter.
.
In a fund raising email I received yesterday from Judith Brown of the American Life League, after talking about Mother Teresa, a really deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner for her unselfish work on behalf of the poor and most vulnerable, including the unborn, she writes, "That's why I was so horrified by today's (Friday's) news! The Nobel "Peace" Prize was awarded to President (Barry Soetoro, alias Barack) Obama, despite his ongoing and persistent record of supporting abortion and other anti-life policies. Indeed, Obama's policies have led to less peace, as they have led to the deaths of millions of innocent babies!
.
"Bestowing the Nobel Prize on the most rabid pro-abortion president in history is a direct slap in the face to past recipient Mother Teresa of Calcutta who said, in receiving her Nobel Peace Prize: “the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing - direct murder by the mother herself.""

Amen.
.
HOW DID SOETORO/OBAMA GET SELECTED?
.
In many ways Soetoro/Obama was selected for the Nobel Peace Prize in the same way he was elected President! He remains unfit, unqualified, and undeserving of both. He continues to prove that fact on a daily basis.
.
As I reflected on the way to work yesterday how this man, who is merely an image created by money and the media, could have been even nominated for this prize I came up with several reasons. Many of the reasons are similar to the reason why this individual rose to become a candidate for the highest office in the land and then elected POTUS.
.
1. As one talk show host or reporter said, he has "star power." He is a media darling both domestically and internationally. Much of it hyped and fueled by a media committed to the same perverse and destructive policies, ideology and agenda of this leftist radical President.
.
2. He is the beneficiary of vast left wing funding sources and political support. The European socialist love the guy. He is anti-GW Bush and that is good enough for them.
.
3. He has used his teleprompter most effectively. He is an politician-actor who is a neither a statesman nor a leader. He does well when he sticks to what he is told by his handlers. Whereas Ronald Reagan was actor-politician who was both a statesman and a leader.
.
4. He was the beneficiary of affirmative action. Still unresolved is how he received his education. Did he receive government funding as a foreign exchange student? How was he able to travel to Indonesia in the '80s when travel was restricted to Americans to that nation?
.
5. He played on the factor of white liberal guilt over past injustices to black America.
.
6. He is not George W. Bush, who continues to be vehemently hated by liberals and Islamist terrorists and terrorist-supporters here and abroad.
.
7. He has a common ideology with many socialists in Europe, many of whom are in positions in power as they are here in America.
.
8. The European and American socialists and liberal media enjoy his trashing of America. His visits overseas have been aptly characterized as "Apologizing for America" tours.
.
9. President Barry Soetoro, alias Barack Obama, is a European Socialist is ideology and deed if not in word.

True Poverty

Do It Anyway

Two Highly Principled Servants of God

Mother Teresa hung a copy of this poem on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, the Children's orphanage, in Calcutta she founded in Calcutta. Its source is unknown.

She dedicated her life to caring for the poor of Calcutta, India. Her exceptional dedication to the poor was widely recognized, including the reception of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 . . . Mother Teresa died September 5, 1997.


DO IT ANYWAY

Written By Mother Teresa


People are often unreasonable, illogical,
and self-centered;
forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some
false friends and some true enemies;
succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.


President Ronald Reagan and Mother Teresa each embodied and lived out much of this poem. He was optimistic and persevered despite great obstacles. She was totally dedicated to helping the poor despite or in spite of apparently insurmountable obstacles.
.
It is interesting to note that there are many references to this poem when you google it. Some, I have noticed, especially academic websites conveniently drop the last God-honoring verse. I would expect nothing less. Theophobia and Christophobia is rampant . . . Radical leftists are adamant in their absolute intolerance of God and Jesus Christ. Apparently they would be loath to offend their father, Satan, god of this world. We need more Reagans and Teresas today.
