The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to former vice president, and leading global warming alarmist al-Gore officially means that the Nobel Peace Prize is just another trinket handed out to those that are hostile to America and her interests. And it is especially so for former elected officials that wage a rhetorical war on America every chance they get: witness the awards given to Jimmy Carter and now al-Gore.
What has al-Gore done to promote any type of peace? Yes he has spoken out against the invasion of Iraq, but only after he was part of the administration that drew up the plans to depose Saddam Hussein! Other than that, what has he done to promote peace---which is what I thought the whole Nobel Prize thing was supposed to predicated upon. I guess they must have used the usual tortured liberal logic: Since al-Gore thinks that global warming is going to be the end of the world, his making a bogus documentary---while contributing more to global warming in day than most people do in a year---is some type of promotion of peace. Or something like that...it really doesn't matter anyway. No logic need apply when a bunch of Eurolibs get together to honor an Amerilib.
But if al-Gore is worthy of the Noble Peace Prize, why not Rodney King? I mean, Rodney King at least did something to promote peace somewhere! It may not have been "I Have a Dream", but it he did take to the airwaves during the LA riots and ask "Can't we all just get along" in order to try to quell the rioting there. That is at least as deserving of the award as what al-Gore has done, right?
Stay tuned folks, the next go around we may see it awarded to a phony soldier like Jessie MacBeth, and it would be fitting. By awarding the Noble Peace Prize to al-Gore, it now has as much real value as the phony decorations MacBeth made up for himself!
