Pat Buchanan: ‘The Affirmative Action Nobel’

History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody is sleeping the boats put out to sea
Borne on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
Too late, the prophets [profits] cry
The island is sinking let us take to the sky

Yes, Pat's an old white racist, but I like him because he DOESN'T pull any punches. I want the unvarnished truth from his side, and old Pat's sure to give it, regardless of how un-pc it is.

Now watch Pat get torn up on msnbc and the liberal blogs for telling the truth.

In Pat Buchanan's world it is affirmative action anytime anyone black gets anything. He sure misses that real America of the 1950's when those people knew their place.

Obama is an intelligent well spoken man but ultimately he's just another Washington lapdog for the lobbyists who put other countries interest's first while giving more power to the banking/military war- for -profit machine .

I'd give him Kudos if he ended the Federal reserve and pulled back on military expansionism...but no.


He deserves a NOBALLS peace prize!

For those who still don't understand what Obama did to earn the Peace Prize, read what the committee said. They list a number of things that he's done and the positive changes in the world that have come about because of his presidency. Eat your hearts out, repubs because there is no way one of yours will ever be eligible for the same.

Texasaggie, I don't give a damn what the committee said, the "positive change in the world" is that everyone is glad and relieved that a Republican did not win the election.

That he has traveled the world reassuring allies and enemies alike that the US will not conduct business as it has the previous 8 years, is the same thing ANY democrat, black or white, would have done, after replacing a president of an opposing party who had just spent the last eight years destroying two countries, our economy, our civil liberties, and our worldwide reputation.

Obama does not deserve any special recognition for doing what any other Dem president would have done in his place.

President Obama didn't choose to award the NPP to himself. The NPP Committee consults no one when making the choice. You may disagree with the committee's choice, it's your right to do so, but the one thing that none of us could do was decide WHO received the award. Nothing anyone says will cause anything to change. President Barack Hussein Obama is the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize receipient. Case closed. Neither your nor my opinion has the power to change this.

Yes, nothing we think or say will affect the awarding of the prize. But, that the president is contemplating escalating one war while continuing the occupation of Iraq, and a host of other Bush-initiated programs, makes this almost as ludicrous as awarding the prize to Kissinger. Almost.

Apparently I missed the part where BHO earned the Prize; perhaps it happened in UniverseSoros or something.

P.S. Dave Weigel get crackin'! I hear Pitchfork has some newsletters!

Did he credit Eric Erickson? Not that Buchanon isn't capable of the same type of lunacy, but Erickson did beat him to the punch.
