take over trusted institutions and use them up until they are no longer trusted…

such is what wolfs in sheep’s clothing have to do when the sheepskin starts to go foul..

Nobel prize was something in the past
now that its taken over, its been abused to certify, and now no one even cares about it much except those that haven’t noticed the change…

same with most awards… etc

they would love to make or manufacture them
but they cant really, so they infiltrate then take over things to acquire the same cache

How can any self respecting liberal vote for a man or woman of the year since they know gender is merely a social construct.

Iowahawk has his Man & Woman of the Year post up. Yeah, it's about what you'd expect.

Who the hell would admire that piece of human excrement? that 22 % probably don’t know who the vice president is.

What, not the Beatles? No one tell Adrian. /g Yet more hero worship. There's a sort of childlike (childish?) quality to even asking the question, because it implies that people are scalars (i.e., equally meritorious in all respects, and at all times) instead of tensors (of varying degrees of merit depending on the time and circumstances). Once upon a time, lots of people admired OJ Simpson, and before that, and for much greater reason, Benedict Arnold (Those naming schools after Obama, please note.) A more apposite question is what deeds one most admires, which fixes time and circumstances, and makes no assumptions about future comportment.

I’d say that the 22% who voted for Obama had better take extra care if they try to chew gum while walking: if they focus too hard on managing those two tasks simultaneously, chances are good that they’ll forget that they have to keep breathing — and for those folks, THREE tasks is just too many to handle.

I’d say the poll is skewed by liberals who reflexively make everything political. Which means Obama would probably also lead in a “who makes the best peanut butter and jelly sandwich” poll.

Most admired man?

How about Chris Christie people !

Even with his positions that you don’t like – he’s quite the antidote to Obama.
