To paraphrase Jon Stewart, not getting your way in a democracy isn't called tyranny, it's called losing. Get over it.

Jesus fucking Christ. I couldn't read farther than the second bullet point before fleeing in complete disgust. Now, I know nothing about the site in question here. Is it always this idiotic, or was that just a random opinion piece?

It's that idiotic.

I read the first phrase and my mind broke down. Seriously, a military coup? Use topical creams for butthurt.

Also, what are the constitutional amends being trampled here?

depends whether you think being interviewed by the Secret Service counts as infringement, I'd wager.

None. Fucking none of them. I'm so goddamn tired of people wanting a REVOLUTION just because their team lost the last popularity contest. Seriously, grow the fuck up, people.

Right, I'm going to stop looking at this thread for a good, long time.

John Perry, a prize-winning newspaper editor and writer who served on White House staffs of two presidents, is a regular columnist for Newsmax.com.

And also sullying the name of a badass fictional character (the shaman John Perry from The Subtle Knife). Shame on him!

Zimbabwe dude... just fucking Zimbabwe. That is the kind of shit that is inviting a military fucking coup. Not reforming fucking health care. Fucking isolationist closed minded retards.

Edit - Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America.

Cause Marx taught us that it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that we have banks. Lots and lots of banks. Marx was all about the money lenders.

That entire site is hilariously awful by the way.

You guys seriously haven't heard of Newsmax before?

I envy you so much. Just run away now while there's still time.

Follow-up on Perry's seditious call-to-arms. Apparently even Newsmax has a line?

By the way, check on the comments list and get fresh perspective on how both spectrums of the bipartisanship manage to fail it up spectacularly.

Newsmax's line: John who? Oh, that guy's just an unpaid blogger, not a former senior editor and a weekly columnist for the last 10 years.

I just... really?

EDIT: If you need clarification for its place here... guy hasn't been in office for a year. I... think that he'll deserve it down the line, sure, but right now...

Lady Door · « **Reply #946 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:32:45 PM »

As I am apparently the sole defender of President Obama's Peace Prize on the internet, I feel inclined to point you to the interview with a member of the Prize Committee: http://nobelprize.org/mediaplayer/index.php?id=1174

He may have only been in office for less than a year, but:

1) The prize is INTENDED to reward things done within the year
2) He has been campaigning under similar principals for much longer
3) What Obama has "done" is not as concrete as a treaty, but does indeed closely follow Nobel's will in that his actions and plans have done much to promote an international community
4) The Nobel Prize Committee says itself that part of their choice is in giving Obama a public token of support in the hopes that it will aid him in continuing along the path upon which he has set

EDIT: The President gets it! Quote: "I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments. But rather as an affirmation of American leadership. ... I will accept this award as a call to action."

So it's like giving Eli Manning the Super Bowl MVP, to torture an analogy.

Lady Door · « **Reply #948 on:** October 09, 2009, 05:09:14 PM »

May I ask why?

Shale · « **Reply #949 on:** October 09, 2009, 07:09:19 PM »

In football, when you want to give an award to an entire team, but you can't because the award doesn't work like that, you give it to the quarterback by default.
