I have NO personal comments on Albert's "Nobel Peace Price" (yeah, I put it in quotes). Here are my two favorite Hot Air headlines and a post from NRO.

The Congrats Due by Mark R. Levin

I'd like to add my name to those congratulating Al Gore for his peace prize. Frankly, I can't think of anyone who has done more to bring peace to this world - from Rwanda to the Sudan, from Burma to North Korea - than Al Gore. And what a selfless man. He always avoids media attention, preferring to direct accolades to the little people who do all the heavy lifting behind the scenes. And like Mother Teresa, Al Gore eschews materialism and luxury, despite his enormous wealth from oil and technology stocks. I hear tell that he insists on flying older private jets to his six-figure speeches. What a guy! I just wish there was another honor somebody could bestow on Al Gore — as long as it's not president.

Jack M. over at Ace deserves an honorable mention.

This whole "Nobel" thing is nothing more than liberals awarding liberals for being liberals.

My own comments (I couldn't resist). Al (Hillary and Bill) are like the pigs in Animal Farm. In fact, any of those Davos attendees eat from the same trough [a long, narrow, open receptacle, usually boxlike in shape, used chiefly to hold water or food for animals.].

While a gaggle of fabulously wealthy (and self-important) people, aided by an army of central planners, enact volumes of laws to curtail global warming, your standard of living (not to mention personal freedom) will more closely resemble the freedoms women enjoy under Sharia law.

If Al does deserve an award it's as a (a Goebbels) propagandist. I've watched very smart adults crumple in fear at his movie, maybe quite willing to allow Al and his fellow Davos pals to make decisions on their behalf.

Best Defense of Economic Freedom

Nearly all policies associated with global warming "solutions" are inimical to economic growth, prosperity, and progress.

In addition, the "solutions" have a heavy governmental footprint. It all smacks of central planning. It is the opposite of the economic freedom and free-market capitalism that has shown us the path to prosperity. I don't want limits to growth and I don't want central planning. Instead, I want entrepreneurship and freedom and Schumpeterian gales of creative destruction.

Update

The article Jonah Goldberg wrote about Couric complements this post since global warming is just one (1) of the causes cosmopolitans (secularists) extol.

Also, Couric isn't smart enough to understand her bit part in this drama. She's spent a lifetime being indoctrinated so her reaction to an American Flag (or Hillary recoiling at the site of a cross) is the same as an anorexics reflexive gag when they see or smell food.
