Nobel Peace Prize...Really ?

The gravity of the Nobel awards has not been augmented by some of their recent selections, including last week's announcement or last year's award of the Economics prize to Paul Krugman, or the 2007 Peace Prize to Al Gore, whose global warming theories he will not defend in open debate. Maybe an early Springtime announcement date of April 1, would be more appropriate.

I didn't know that it was the role of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee to be handicapping the future performance of individuals and organizations, given that the deadline for this nomination occurred only twelve days into this current Administration. Nonetheless, I congratulate President Obama on his award and hope that in three-and-a- quarter years from now the Nobel Peace Prize Committee will be seen as prescient. The reason I point that out is because this is same person who requested from Congress for twenty-five thousand additional troops to be sent to Iraq, within the next ninety days. Is that how you END a war...by sending additional troops ? The Republi-Crats are two sides of the same coin.
.
Mr. Obama will best fulfill the promise of peace that the Nobel Committee apparently sees in him by not trying to cure all the ills of the world, but by working to make the United States an example for the other nations of the world through implementation of a Libertarian foreign policy--that is, military non-interventionism combined with free trade policies in fact, and not just in rhetoric as has been the case heretofore. With those guiding principles, the world will be a freer, safer and a more prosperous planet at the conclusion of the Obama Administration. Let us pray...

End The Fed

The Daily Show interview gave Dr. Paul a great chance to not only state why the Fed (i.e., the federal reserve) should be ended, but also to articulate why personal liberties are better protected when government is limited, not the other way around. Host Jon Stewart asked serious, thoughtful questions and emphasized that Dr. Paul's stand for small government has been a consistent one throughout the years no matter which political party held power.

At the end of the interview, Stewart highly recommended End the Fed to his audience, saying that it was "really thought-provoking," as well as "really well-written" and "clearly from the heart."

The most provound statement, I thought, in the book was when Dr. Paul notes that "It's hard to regulate or enforce fraud laws when the government, itself, participates in fraud." Again, he is clearly talking about both Republicans and Democrats...and this has to stop.
