"Just Tell Them...
I have worked 40 years to make the Women's Suffrage platform broad enough for Atheists and Agnostics to stand upon, and now if need be I will fight the next 40 to keep it Catholic enough to permit the straightest Orthodox religionist to speak or pray and count her beads upon."

I Bet Mr. Obama is Proud to Have Beaten THIS Crusader For Human (Women's) Rights Out of a Justly Deserved Peace Prize
Dr. Denis Mukwege, Congo.
One, of several, passed over by the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in 2009.
Here's an unintentionally hilarious comment from DU:
"Amen! It is ridiculous that so many Americans are so braindead that they seem to believe it only goes to US Presidents for actions during a Presidency.
Obviously the Nobel committee's decision is ridiculous beyond words, but this demonstrates just how obscene it is as well. One can only wonder how many thousands of serious, committed, worthy leaders and workers toward peace and progress they have dissed and discouraged with their thoughtless action.
In "real life" Dawg is a mom, a nurse, a pet rescuer and a tireless advocate for animal rights.
Dawg is happily married for thirty years and has raised three awesome children. She holds an advanced degree in Family Science, wherein her research was focused on women's support circles during parturition. Her dedication to Women's Rights is directly affected by her belief that motherhood should not be a sentence to isolation and disenfranchisement.
Dawg is on hiatus from political bloggery d/t the intense demands of her engagement in the No Kill movement at this time. However, she remains influenced by PUMA politics and reads the blogs of her fellow PUMAs (at right) regularly.

Mother Theresa won it in 1979!"
Yes she did, *for a lifetime of work*.
What fools there be at DU!
Many thanks, SYD.

Thank you for posting that video. What a tear jerker.
