The Ironic Obama Peace Prize

I think the Nobel Committee has a different definition of peace than I do. The ironies include:

• Obama advocates a foreign policy of appeasement, which increases the chance, and likely severity, of violent conflict.
• He advocates moral altruism, which involves the sacrifice of some men to others, in this case by using to the powers of government to coerce us.
• He advocates thwarting peaceful, voluntary activity in the economic sphere, by forcing us to use our money and conduct business in certain ways not determined by the voluntary choice of all parties.
• He advocates heavy government intervention in medicine, where he proposes to force us to pursue certain medical care polices, and force doctors and insurers to offer treatments determined by government, on terms dictated by government.

Obama stands squarely, consciously on the side of unprovoked coercion against his own country's citizens, not peace. The morality of altruism is the modern equivalent of ritual sacrifice, and Obama is a fervent advocate of it.

This Nobel Peace Prize is an obvious fraud.
