I've Got Your Peace Hangin'...

.....The so-called conservative right (which are usually neither; since when is lying, screaming and hatemongering conservative?) are raising their usual ruckus, which basically is their only reason to even live now. God knows they've done nothing constructive since "that you-know-what man" stole their White House. Actually helping fix things that eight years of their "rule" fucked up instead of standing in the way of repair at every turn is not in their vocabulary (note that most of them also cannot spell "vocabulary"). They look for Satan in everything Obama; be it his nerve at actually showing decent respect to a fellow world leader, his inability to solve problems overnight that took a decade to make, or even his daring to take a few hours off to have kids stargazing with him on the White House lawn (never mind that their man took pretty much more days off than on). That he should even want to talk to kids in school! Oh my God, get the gun! What a bunch of fucking lying whiners. It's like having your 120-year-old brain-dead grandpa living with you who thinks that it's 1930, only stupider. If they can't find something, as we all know, they just make it up. Big shock there. I guess since they can see the White House on TV, they are experts on government. Go Palin! Meanwhile, their "leaders" cash the daily kickback checks and laugh their asses off at the fact that they have all these illiterate a-holes believing that black is...OK, bad analogy.

.....So what's today's outrage? No new one available, so they check the misspelled minutes from their last meeting and come back to Mr. O collecting the Nobel Peace Prize today. Facebook was all a-twitter (clever, eh?) with the underschooled sheep bleating that he didn't deserve it. "Let's impeach him!" shouted one, obviously having no clue as to what 'impeachment' means other than 'kill the black guy'. I assume they have a bunch of catch-phrases in a bag and pull one out when it's time to fit in. Almost every utterance can be translated very simply: "Waaaaah, we lost! Waaaaahhhhh!"

.....While the useless Repugnican pawns paint their truck nuts to match their school colors and are distracted by lights over Norway, let's examine the reasons that President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize.

1.) He hasn't been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people like the previous president. Ol' Dumbass took troops out of Afghanistan, where we really had a reason to be, to tear up Iraq because some guy pissed his daddy off, which means that he is also the reason we're not done in Afghanistan yet, something the Wrong of course blame President Obama for in their infinite lack of wisdom. In the process, the comedy torture team of W. and Dick (Dick, by the way, was the real president) are directly responsible for every death there, be it over 4000 US sons and daughters or over 100,000 Iraquis, mostly innocents, about half of them women and children. They made Abu Ghraib and child rape by idiot soldiers who can barely count to 10 possible. They are also responsible for most Afghanistan deaths in the last few years because they took their own precious troops' support away. For as much as the Wrong say they love the troops, they sure don't mind gettin' them killed for nothin'. Meanwhile, Osama could be in Rio by now. Or Texas: his family was best friends with the Bushes, you know.

2) He knows his way around diplomacy. His predecessor couldn't find his way out of a press conference on the first try. Yet he has restored a modicum of respect to our country at a point when it wasn't going to be a question of when we were next attacked, but by whom. Everyone hated us. He has done this miracle of restoration by doing silly things like talking to leaders before the option of killing their kids comes up. By not assuming that everyone who doesn't share the same worldview must be hanged. By choosing reason over threats. By not, in other words, being a stupid asshole.

3) He's shown that he can stand ground in tenous circumstances. Confronted with dissent, Bush either had Cheney say "go fuck yourself" or slink away for another vacation month. Protesting Bush was fine, you just couldn't do it within a mile or two of where he might actually see it. Hey, it might push him back into drinking or drugs! Or even worse, he had no answers unless they were fed to him. By repeating the same lies and phrases over and over on every TV show possible, the Repugnican bigwigs had no problem brainwashing their stupidest constituents, including the president.

4) The Nobel committee are so relieved that the idiot, world-killing Repugnicans are no longer in power that they would have given it to whatever Democrat won. Because anything is more peaceful than what we got in the last administration. Had Lady Fucking Gaga won the presidency, she'd have gotten the prize just for not being W. (Wow. I just creeped myself out.)

.... And finally, there's what Obama is going through right here at home, as the people he's trying to help are bullshitted by their own leaders into believing that good is bad. Imagine that someone comes, takes your house, throws you on the street, destroys your home, your car, your friends, your town, for 8 years. Then you get to try to build it all back but are only thrown the occasional toothpick to build it all out of. Then picture a couple hundred people (sourgrapes Senate/House) standing in front of you blocking your building efforts, all the while whining because you're not working fast enough. Then picture over 34.000 people (yes, there are that many lobbyists in Washington) right behind them paying, threatening and bribing the hundreds to make sure they continue to block, deface and destroy every effort you make to rebuild. In essence, the president has gotten the Nobel Peace Price because he didn't blow them all away with a shotgun and start from scratch. Most so-called Americans would go at least that batshit if someone even scratched their trailer.

.....I won't go as far as Florida legislator Alan Grayson and tell the idiot, hatemongering scumbags that call themselves religious and right to shut the fuck up. I will tell them, however, that the people who are not fooled by them don't give a fuck what they think. The truth wins. And so did President Obama. That's what they can't stand.
