President Obama Accepted His Nobel Peace Prize Today!

Maybe the blue lights over Norway was a sign from God that he believes President Obama is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize.Okay,maybe that is a bit much because those lights are reported to have come from a Russian missile.But,then again.....

Seriously,I wonder why some folks say he has done nothing to deserve this prize.President Obama has done more to inspire the world's population than any president has in recent history.

He brings inspiration not only to Americans,but to people all over the globe.And Obama is a role model for so many African-Americans who lack one.Young black children now feel like they are truly a part of this great democratic society that we call the United States of America.

President Obama has left an indelible imprint on the minds of future generations.He is more than a great orator.If these impatient folks will just give him time,President Obama will prove to be a great leader.I believe that he has done a great job with all of the horrific baggage that the last administration left him with.No matter what his critics say.

But,even the critics had to agree.President Obama was in top form today when he gave his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech.It was as "eloquent" as the man himself.

Here's more from The Christian Science Monitor:

"Liberal and conservative pundits both approve of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize speech. They like his humility and his realism.

f nothing else, the American punditocracy largely agreed on one aspect of President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech: that it was eloquent.

In offering a tutorial on just war theory, laid out in clear prose and compellingly delivered, Mr. Obama and his speechwriters showed once again that they know how to knock one out of the park.

But more noteworthy is the largely positive, or at least hopeful, tone of reaction across the political spectrum. From conservative former House speaker Newt Gingrich to writers at the liberal Nation magazine, the insta-analyses found hope in Obama’s words, either in his justification for the war in Afghanistan or in his ultimate aspiration: to replace war with peace.

“I thought the speech was actually very good,” Mr. Gingrich said on the WNYC radio’s The Takeaway. “And he clearly understood that he had been given the prize prematurely, but he used it as an occasion to remind people, first of all, as he said, that there is evil in the world.”

Devar Hurd Needs To Stop Stalking Singer Ashanti & Her Mom!

Devar Hurd is the Indiana man who has been accused of sending lewd & disgusting texts to Ashanti's mom.In them,he says,among other things,that he basically wants to bang Ashanti,her mother & little sister.Then,he sent some nasty,explicit photos because I guess he felt the need to illustrate his desire.

What a filthy bastard!

Here's more on this stalker from The NY Daily News:

"Singing star Ashanti has a creepy stalker - an Indiana salesman who has bombarded her mother with lewd text messages and gross, X-rated pictures, prosecutors said.

Devar Hurd, 31, is accused of stalking and harassing Tina Douglas with 32 messages between May 29 and July 18 and numerous phone calls in February.

He was arrested July 22 in Griffith, Ind., where he lives, and has been locked up at Rikers Island since.

He pleaded not guilty and faces possible trial in Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.

The messages he sent were bizarrely personal and often explicit and included sex acts he wanted to perform on the mother and her daughters, court papers say.

"Hey Tina baby, how u doing sexy," read a May 29 message. "Tell Shani I'm coming straight home from work to put in sum overtime. U know how I do, LOL."

He also sent revealing pictures of himself, photos of Douglas' home and a picture of Ashanti's car, the documents said.

"Here's a pic I had laying around for the ladies in sum of my birthday suit lol," read a text sent May 30, court documents charge.

After a particularly crude message, Hurd wrote, "Oh ashanti ashanti ashanti, yes baby woooo."

Ashanti's publicist, Judy Katz, said she had no comment. "The authorities are handling the matter as we speak," she said.

Are U.S Anti-Gay Leaders Behind Uganda's Push To Execute Gays?

Rachel Maddow has been doing extensive coverage on where Uganda's proposed law that would give gay folks the death penalty just for being who they naturally are came from!!! What she has uncovered is both shocking and disheartening.

Because U.S anti-gay leaders may have initiated this debate over whether gays in Uganda should receive the death penalty or not.Here's more on that from the Southern Poverty Law Center:

"A bizarre trio of American anti-gay leaders arrived in the Ugandan capital of Kampala Thursday to stage a three-day seminar, “Exposing the Truth Behind Homosexuality and the Homosexual Agenda,” in a country where homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. They are:

• Scott Lively, co-founder of the hate group Watchmen on the Walls and author of The Pink Swastika, a pseudo-history book claiming that “militant male homosexuals” helped mastermind the holocaust.

• Caleb Lee Brundidge, a “sexual reorientation coach” for the International Healing Foundation, whose signature technique, as demonstrated on CNN, involves patients “beating on chairs with tennis rackets and screaming, “Mom, Mom, why did you do this to me?” Brundidge also counsels men struggling with their sexuality to visit mortuaries with a fringe Charismatic ministry team to “practice raising the dead.”

• Don Schmierer, a board member for Exodus International, an international umbrella group covering hundreds of “ex-gay” ministries. Schmierer warns parents in his guide to preventing homosexuality to watch out for boys who show “extreme macho behavior” are “frail, deformed, deaf” or “avoid fights/physical altercations.”

According to Steven Langa, executive director of the Family Life Network, the New York-based Christian right advocacy group that organized the seminar, Lively, Brundidge and Schmierer were called to Uganda because gay activists in that county are recruiting children to homosexuality.

That justification seems farcical, considering that death threats and the fear of state-sanctioned execution have forced gay rights activists in the African country underground. Since 1990, homosexuality in Uganda has been a capital crime."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

But,Uganda is not the only country that is virulent in their quest to deprive people of their God-given right to have sex with whomever they choose.

Here's more on that from ABC News:

"Uganda is not the only country considering anti-gay laws. Nigeria, where homosexuality is already punishable by imprisonment or death, is considering strengthening penalties for activities deemed to promote it. Burundi just banned same-sex relationships and Rwanda is considering it.

Homophobia is rife even in more tolerant African countries.

In Kenya, homosexuality is illegal but the government has acknowledged its existence by launching sexual orientation survey to improve health care. Nevertheless, the recent marriage of two Kenyan men in London caused outrage. The men's families in Kenya were harassed by reporters and villagers.

In South Africa, the only African nation to recognize gay marriage, gangs carry out so-called "corrective" rapes on lesbians. A 19-year-old lesbian athlete was gang-raped, tortured and murdered in 2008.

Debate over the Ugandan bill follows a conference in Kampala earlier this year attended by American activists who consider same-gender relationships sinful, and believe gays and lesbians can become heterosexual through prayer and counseling. Author Don Schmierer and "sexual reorientation coach" Caleb Lee Brundidge took part; they did not respond to interview requests.

A third American who took part in the conference in Uganda, Scott Lively, said the bill has gone too far.

"I agree with the general goal but this law is far too harsh," said Lively, a California-based preacher and author of "The Pink Swastika" and other books that advise parents how to "recruit-proof" their children from gays.

"Society should actively discourage all sex outside of marriage and that includes homosexuality ... The family is under threat," he said. Gay people "should not be parading around the streets," he added.

Frank Mugisha, a gay Ugandan human rights activist, said the bill was so poorly worded that someone could be imprisoned for giving a hug.

"This bill is promoting hatred," he said. "We're turning Uganda into a police state. It will drive people to suicide."

Buturo played down the influence of foreign evangelicals, saying the proposed legislation was an expression of popular outrage against "repugnant" practices. But activists like Cato argue anti-gay attitudes are a foreign import.

"In the beginning, when the missionaries brought religion, they said they were bringing love," he said. "Instead they brought hate, through homophobia."

Susan Timberlake, a senior adviser on human rights and law from UNAIDS, said such laws could hinder the fight against HIV/AIDS by driving people further underground. And activists also worry that the legislation could be used to blackmail or silence government critics.

Cato said he thinks the Ugandan bill will pass, perhaps in an altered form.

"It's such a setback. But I hope we can overcome it," he said. "I cannot believe this is happening in the 21st century."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

I can't believe that in this day & age people could have such antiquated views towards homosexuality,either. Come into the 21st century,people!
