Does This Piss You Off (2)- Why Not?

First let me say that Thomas Jefferson did not author the Constitution, John Adams did. It was written in Jefferson's handwriting because he had better penmanship.
Second, God knows who is righteous and who is not. Much more so than a politically motivated secret society. She will have her reward where it counts, those who wear their undeserved Peace Prize on their sleeve have already received all the reward they will get. Let God be their judge.
Thirdly, our nation was not founded on the Christian religion, though many of them were Christians, many of them were not. It was founded on freedom of religion, amongst other freedoms.
Fourthly, the definition of freedom no longer has the same meaning as it did when this country was founded. Neither does democracy. Our modern federal government does not allow liberty, which is the act of obtaining freedom. The new definition of freedom, is economic freedom; if you can't buy it, you don't deserve it. How you got it doesn't matter anymore.
That is why she didn't get the Peace Prize, she didn't get rich from her efforts. She will have a better reward, you can be sure.
 
But I digress. This is about Irena- Confiscate his nobel money and trophy and give it
to her ancestors.

Not that I do not sympathize with you, but her ancestors are dead. Wouldn't it be better to give it to her descendants?

and when I admitted yesterday that I made a mistake in using that word and meant to use the other one ?

that admission wasn't enough?

I need to also give blood or what? I am pretty new and don't know all the rules yet although I am responsible for observing them. But thanks for commenting on my thread and I will try to do better.:tongue:
 
Ok substitute Catholic for latino. Same difference.


You're arguing if were a Christian nation today, we are not. But we WERE founded as one.

No, we were not. In fact, we were very clearly NOT founded as a Christian country. At the time of the founding fathers, almost every country in the world, Amsterdam excepted, had a State Religion. The US was very clearly founded as the opposite of that.


Oh, I'm sorry - I was under the impression you were smart enough to differentiate Christian nation from State sponsored religion. I will not make that mistake again.

If the US were a Christian nation, then pedophilia would be legal.

US Treaty with Tripoli, 1796-1797

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authored by American diplomat Joel Barlow in 1796, the following treaty was sent to the floor of the Senate, June 7, 1797, where it was read aloud in its entirety and unanimously approved. John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation.

Art. 4. Proper passports are to be given to all vessels of both parties, by which they are to be known. And considering the distance between the two countries, eighteen months from the date of this treaty, shall be allowed for procuring such passports. During this interval the other papers, belonging to such vessels, shall be sufficient for their protection.

Art. 5. A citizen or subject of either party having bought a prize vessel, condemned by the other party, or by any other nation, the certificates of condemnation and bill of sale shall be a sufficient passport for such vessel for one year; this being a reasonable time for her to procure a proper passport.

Art. 6. Vessels of either party, putting into the ports of the other, and having need of provisions or other supplies, they shall be furnished at the market price. And if any such vessel shall so put in, from a disaster at sea, and have occasion to repair, she shall be at liberty to land and re-embark her cargo without paying any duties.

And no pretense of any periodical tribute of further payments is ever to be made by either party.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Art. 12. In case of any dispute, arising from a violation of any of the articles of this treaty, no appeal shall be made to arms; nor shall war be declared on any pretext whatever. But if the Consul, residing at the place where the dispute shall happen, shall not be able to settle the same, an amicable referrence shall be made to the mutual friend of the parties, the Dey of Algiers; the parties hereby engaging to abide by his decision. And he, by virtue of his signature to this treaty, engages for himself and successors to declare the justice of the case, according to the true interpretation of the treaty, and to use all the means in his power to enforce the observance of the same.

look at those eyes. Look at that face.

don't you know just by looking that picture that she was destined for greatness?

Irena recently died at the age of 98

During WW-II, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a
Plumbing/Sewer specialist.

She had an ulterior motive…


During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and
save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi’s broke both her
legs, and arms, and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept
them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it,
and reunited the family. Most of course had been gassed. Those kids she
helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

her story is here:

http://angela-stevens.com/archives/a-lad...med-irena/


So why am I ranting?

When Irena was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize…

SHE LOST.And who did she lose to?

They gave it to that bastard Al Gore for doing a slide show on Global Warming.
It shows what the state of the nobel prize is since he and obama got it. Neither
one has ever done a damn thing for anyone but themselves.

I's good that he has been exposed as the fraud, cheap, lying, crook of a snake oil
sales man he is.It's nice that the sheep now know they have been had even tho them and
their future generations will be paying forever.

Those of us in science who ranted and raved and posted against it over the years
failed to get the movement stopped. But at least everyone is awake enough now to watch with their eyes open as we go over the cliff of
cap and trade, and big al wheelbarrows all the wealth to his business overseas. Ever
wonder why he set up shop there instead of here? Tex protection.

But I digress. This is about Irena- Confiscate his nobel money and trophy and give it
to her ancestors.

It's amazing how these threads get so side tracked but, yes, this is a real shame. If it's any consolation, though, people like Irena really could not care less about what other people think about what they do. She did what she did just because she knew it had to be done, she knew she was right, she was personally brave enough to do it, in spite of the easy, politically correct and popular (Nazi) opinion. She's a saint, in comparison the Nobel prize is nothing.
 
Wait it gets better....a few short years later they give the Nobel Prize to Obama.I'm still waiting for him to do something.

cleaning toilets for monsanto hardly places you "in science"

If you feel this woman should be given prizes and awards and money then I fully suport YOU using YOUR money to do it.

you liberals are always telling other people how they should use their money.
 
Wait it gets better....a few short years later they give the Nobel Prize to Obama.I'm still waiting for him to do something.

What are you talking about. He overcame the obvious discrimination he has faced in his life as a black man to become President, isn't that enough? :eusa_whistle:

Do you mean growing up in the Ghetto in a single parent household?
Do you mean living off food stamps? Or not being able to get a decent education? Or Living in a society where the white Man keeps you down?

Well then shame on me.How dare I question the wisdom of the Nobel Prize committee.
In Just one short year plus I have heard the Left praise this President for ALL the great
accomplishments he has achieved so far.Can any of us imagine how many more GREAT things this man will do? Maybe the people that run this sort of thing will change the name of the prize to the Obama Prize.:lol:

Not that I do not sympathize with you, but her ancestors are dead. Wouldn't it be better to give it to her descendants?

and when I admitted yesterday that I made a mistake in using that word and meant to use the other one ?

that admission wasn't enough?

I need to also give blood or what? I am pretty new and don't know all the rules yet although I am responsible for observing them. But thanks for commenting on my thread and I will try to do better.:tongue:

I just started in the thread, and couldn't resist poking at the mistake. I am not normally a Grammar Nazi, but, c'mon. Would you have let that simply slip by if I had said it?

Why doesn't everyone in the US get one for electing him? That says more about us than it does him.

I was being sarcastic.
 
Isn't there truths in being sarcastic?

Often, but in this thread, there sure is a lot of bitterness over Obama's achievements

Achievements? Oh he managed to convince quite a few people who had never voted before, and frankly who shouldn't have ever vote again, to vote for "their ******". WOOHOO that's impressive, I say they make room at Rushmore for him now.
