After the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano stuck its editorial foot in the mouth when it congratulated Obama's receipt of the Nobel Prize, it retracted itself and rightly criticized that presentation of the award. However, it did so only after the hue and cry of faithful Catholics flooded its mailboxes, filled its email server and melted the fax lines.
Perhaps the USCCB needs to receive similar feedback from American Catholics, because Cardinal George, president of the USCCB, has displayed similar foot-in-mouth tendencies.
Part of the Cardinal's boot-licking included the comment, "the President of the United States has already changed the international conversation." Yes, the Messiah Most Miserable certainly has - I'll give the Cardinal credit for that statement. Obama has apologized for the US all over the globe while kissing up to insane tyrants. He has rescinded the Mexico City Policy. He is ramrodding through Congress one of the most pro-abortion and pro-euthanasia bills ever known. He is similarly ramrodding through Congress measures to change the definition of marriage to include all manners of deviancy. For this the Cardinal congratulates Obama? He should be decrying this disgrace.
If nothing else, this is just another reason why the Catholic Campaign for Human Development collection should be boycotted by all thinking Catholics this November 22nd. The USCCB has demonstrated, time and time again, that it doesn't know apple butter from cow pie. I posted a few days ago some revelations about CCHD grantees from the last collection.
To communicate to the USCCB about:
1) your concern at Cardinal George's ridiculous statement
2) why you won't contribute to the CCHD collection

An Inconvenient Truth About Nobel Peace Prizes
It appears that there was another, infinitely more worthy candidate for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, much more so than Barak Hussein Obama. Hu Jia is an attorney in Red China who has been working with Chen Guangcheng, the blind attorney who exposed a campaign of forced abortions and sterilizations in China and who was subsequently imprisoned. Hu worked on his behalf until he himself was imprisoned. If there was a human rights activist who deserved this prize for all he endured, Hu Jia would fit the bill.
But no, we can't go offending the Chi-Coms, now - can we? That is especially true when Obama and cronies are hell-bent in turning the United States into another "people's paradise" hell.
However, it seems that the Messiah Most Miserable is not the first socialistic sympathiser to have been chosen by this strange Nobel committee over a much more deserving candidate. To the best of my knowledge, that dubious distinction goes to Al Gore.
Gore was awarded the 2007 prize for his science-fiction movie, "An Inconvenient Truth". Space forbids me to go into all the reasons why indeed he would find truth to be inconvenient.
A much more worthy candidate in 2007 would have been Irene Sandler. She was a Polish Catholic social worker who worked in the Polish Underground during World War II. She was responsible for saving 2,500 Jewish children from the Nazi death camps, and suffered horrific treatment from the Nazis for so doing. She died in May 2008.
The Nobel Peace Prize is now devoid of all honor and significance. It has been rendered not much more than a bauble awarded by politically correct leftists to their stooges.

I Want a Prize, Too!!
I hereby promise all the world an end to war, starvation, disease and the embarrassment of hallitosis! I promise a chicken in every pot, a car in every garage, a college diploma on every wall, free health care for all, and no crabgrass in any lawn!
There! Now that I've made all sorts of pretty promises, can I please now have my Nobel Peace Prize? What? I didn't accomplish anything? Well, since when has that been a requirement these days? After all, the Messiah Most Miserable didn't do anything, but - gee whiz! - he only talked a pretty talk and he got one. How come I don't get one?
Come to think of it, should that prize really have gone to Obama? Perhaps it would have been more fitting to award it to his teleprompter!

"Nobel Peace Prize" Now Ignoble Sleaze Prize
The once-respected Nobel Peace Prize has been rendered an abysmal joke by its 2009 recipient -Barak HUSSEIN Obama, the Messiah Most Miserable. As I read the Comcast piece, I see that the reason given for the prize is that "the judges found his promise of disarmament and diplomacy too good to ignore." The italics are mine, and I put them there to illustrate that all he did, and continues to do, is talk a pretty talk. The walk, however, leaves much to be desired.
His international tour-flops have been largely spectacles of him apologizing for his own country, the country that has saved European hides for the better part of the 20th century. His diplomacy has largely been one of grovelling at the feet of various and sundry deranged tyrants and insulting long-standing allies.
Of course, his dometic performance has been a good bit worse. He is foisted upon this nation a stimulus package that is sending this economy into a debt-filled toilet. He and his lackeys are trying to cram down our throats a draconian death-care bill that will further ensconse abortion and euthanasia into the cultural landscape.
Speaking of abortion, wasn't it another Nobel Peace Prize winner, namely, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who stated quite correctly and succintly, that "abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace", and that "the fruit of abortion will be nuclear war"? But that was back when the Nobel Peace Prize truly was distinguished and honorable.
