Text of the page (random words):
ifferent universe what the nobel peace prize did was to draw me once again into the world of other human beings outside the isolated area in which i lived to restore a sense of reality to me this did not happen instantly of course but as the days and months went by and news of reactions to the award came over the airwaves i began to understand the significance of the nobel prize it had made me real once again it had drawn me back into the wider human community and what was more important the nobel prize had drawn the attention of the world to the struggle for democracy and human rights in burma we were not going to be forgotten we are fortunate to be living in an age when social welfare and humanitarian assistance are recognized not only as desirable but necessary i am fortunate to be living in an age when the fate of prisoners of conscience anywhere has become the concern of peoples everywhere an age when democracy and human rights are widely if not universally accepted as the

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest etichette somewhere in italy june 10 2012 oooops backfire and disarray letters from america by the metaphysical peregrine president elect obama created an office of the president elect had a seat on his plane with a logo for the imagined office and spoke with greek columns as his stage he promised to be post partisan post political post racial and even slow the rise of the oceans yes he really said that there s a vid instead of lollipops and roses we have our country in an economic death spiral riots by pampered whiney white kids occupy movement a deepening nasty racial divide skyrocketing energy costs done by design there s a vid of him saying that too crony capitalism trillions of taxpayer money going to businesses blatant attacks on christians and a culture of intolerance and hate from the left that is promoted by his political party and his propaganda division the main stream press because of all that the lollipops have melted and the roses are dead his shine is off even with a growing number of the leadership in the democrat party including bill clinton several times criticizing him publicly because he s a statist ideologue he can t like bill clinton did triangulate and change course his campaign started with an attack not only on mitt romney s venture capital company bain capital but on capitalism itself that caused several prominent democrat leaders to speak against him obama s team attacked them and made them recant after his spending trillions taxpayer dollars printed dollars borrowed dollars from enemies of the us on businesses his investment record has a massive failure rate over 80 of his loans to green energy companies were to big donors to his campaign can t find the total number of failed companies he invested in but most have failed and trillions lost bain capital under the leadership of romney had only 22 of his investments fail and he used real money from private citizens then there s the republican s war on women that isn t working out so well because most democrats recently voted for selective sex abortions very unpopular with citizens like communist china it seems leftists in this country would abort baby girls until they get a son counter intuitive if men are so rotten why create more of them by killing baby girls it turns out too that several democrat women congressional staffers get paid substantially less than men holding the same job democrat senator patty murray pays women on her staff about 21 000 less than men it turns out that women working for democrat politicians made an average salary of 60 877 in 2011 men made on average 6 500 a year more democrats have been unable to pass equal pay acts even when they controlled both houses of congress and this latest paycheck fairness act they brought up just so they could use it as part of their campaign to buttress their claim of republican s war on women by the way analysis that adjusts for such things as hours worked time taken off and other variables show pay is equal for equal jobs in the private sector now the bureau of labor statistics reports there are 766 000 fewer women in the workforce than when he took office another backfire for the obama campaign was his using his attack on the catholic church and their opposition to contraception as that being part of the republican war on women was actually perceived by the citizens for what is was an attack on religion the catholic church and freedom generally who knew the republican party controlled the catholic church then the obama campaign attacked romney for his employment record when his was governor of massachusetts the claim being that he left office with a high unemployment rate the backfire on that is when romney left office the massachusetts unemployment rate was 4 point something percent and obama s unemployment has been 8 10 the whole time he s been in office the obama campaign attacked romney for being a hypocrite by his attacking the solyndra failure obama lost millions when the green company went under there was a solar company in massachusetts konarka technologies that was given a 1 5 million loan two months after romney was sworn in he had no part in the loan romney also tried to get rid of the state s green energy investment program konarka repaid the loan in full it later went bankrupt years after romney left office in short romney had nothing to do with it another backfire and oops in the recent failed recall election of the wisconsin governor and lieutenant governor and a few republican legislators by leftists unions and the democrat party obama didn t enter the state and did no campaigning on their behalf unions and wisconsin democrats are seriously unhappy with him for that governor walker scored a decisive win over them all oooops there was the incident raised by the obama campaign about how in high school in the 1960 s when he was a teenager romney bullied some other kid nobody not even the family and friends of the man deceased remember the incident the family is ticked off because their family member was being used as a political pawn then it turns out in one of his books obama wrote about bullying an overweight girl ooops and backfire obama can t run on his record he s tried he has an ad saying he s employed over 4 million people in the private
