Profiles in Courage

The editors of the Wall Street Journal and [surprisingly, even that Obama-protecting rag] the Washington Post suggest that this year’s Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to Iran’s imprisonedand battered reform protesters (specifically, said the Post [that Obama-apologist rag], to Neda Agha-Soltan) instead of to Barack Obama.
Both op-eds focus on the encouragement such an award would have been for the cause of political reform in Iran; the Journal also speculates that a Nobel might have made a difference to the fate of the three Iranian dissidents sentenced to death over the weekend for their participation in the post-election protests.
Rest In Peace,A Nobel Peace Prize means never having to explain your lack of interest in human rights.
Neda Agha-Soltan.
Seems like you were
a Community Organizer
who actually acted.
Rather than one who
merely talked talked talked
talked talked talked --
and oh, yeah, talked
and chose to love the demonic
Jeremiah Wright, making him
your surrogate daddy.
Too bad you were in Iran,
Neda Agha-Soltan,
rather than the south side of Chicago.
That geographical anomaly
renders you dead rather than
roaming the halls of the mighty.
What if a guy nobody's ever heard of, from Hawaii no less, with a Muslim African father and a Muslim Indonesian stepfather and a mom from Kansas named Stanley inexplicably glides from Punahou to a short sheep-dip at Occidental to the Frankfurt School's favorite Ivy League haunt, Columbia, to Harvard Law? What if he's such an arrogant, aloof suckup of no particular ability or accomplishment that his fellow students openly ridicule him with the invention of the "Obamamometer," which measures epic brown-nosing on a scale from one to ten? What if he's blissfully unaware of his own deficiencies, and instead comes to believe that he's earned everything that's come his way — or ever will?
OBAMAMOMETER...did you get that?The voucher program began in 2004 during the evil racist George W. Bush administration. Children whose families had an annual income at or below 185 percent of the federalpoverty guidelines qualified for vouchers. More than 1,700 children participated in the program. The progressive rainbow Obama administration offered and then rescinded scholarships to 216 D.C. students in the spring when the program was canceled.
