Peace?

It was announced today that Hussein won the Nobel Peace Prize. The final date for submitting anyone for this honor was February 1, 2009 which means he was in office for a total of 12 days. What did he accomplish in 12 days? Did he bring peace to the Middle East? Get rid of all nuclear weapons in the world? Sing songs of peace? Pray for peace? What?

This is what occurred during his first 2 weeks in office:

He took the oath and re-took the oath of office.

Bombed Pakistan.

Gave his first interview to an Arab TV station.

Made his first phone call to the Palestinian leader.

Made a tax cheat his Secretary of the Treasury

Nominated another tax cheat for Health Secretary

Picked a fight with Rush Limbaugh

Argued with the Pope over abortion.

Called for closing Gitmo (which is still open)

Refuses to talk with Republicans over the stimulus Bill which passes along party lines and he signs which has only stimulated the federal and state governments with pork projects.

Signed the SCHIP Bill which provides health care to illegals.

That's it. Even today he still has not accomplished much of anything. Even Saturday Night Live is making fun of his "accomplishments".

Here is what he has done so far:

Signed the Stimulus & SCHIP bills, apologized all over the world for the U.S., got a dog, and killed a fly. That's is very deserving of the Peace Prize don't you think?

I have done more to promote peace than he has. I actually have a dog living in harmony with 5 cats and a bird living in harmony with a cat. None tries to attack the others. Where's my prize?

This may have been given to him as a slap in the face to "W", but it is more a slap in the face of the previous winners including Jimmy Carter, Mother Teresa, Shirin Ebadi, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Elie Weisel, and the many others who actually "worked" hard at something with many suffering imprisonment and torture for their beliefs. This degrades the whole idea that Alfred Nobel set forth from the beginning and only supports more of us who think the world views Hussein as the "holy one".

Moral or Atrocity

Have you heard that people are now using genetic testing on embryos to pick their children? Some are eliminating those with genetic disorders--even if they might not "pop" up until late in life. Others are also using it to pick the color of their child's eyes, hair, etc.

Doesn't sound so bad? Well, when Hitler was doing genetic experimentation on the Jews and was eliminating all genes he did not like so that he could populate the world with his master race, it was an atrocity! Yet here we are today doing the same thing to embryos so that we can control the ideal race that we want to carry on. Hasn't medicine gone too far? Just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should. Period. Morals and morality are deteriorating rapidly and we must put a stop to it now. We must draw the line in sand over which no one must cross.

With all the talk of health care reform and the government controlling our medical treatments and outcomes, it is only a matter of time before those deemed genetically inferior must be allowed to perish or be exterminated much as Hitler did. What is to stop them? Hopefully, a population with the morality not to play God and allow all to not only exist, but also be provided the necessary health care and nourishment that we need.

Otherwise, "Heil Hitler"!
