ZitatU.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice was honored Tuesday night with the 2013 Louis E. Martin Great American Award.
The annual award, presented by The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, is given to “an exemplar of change, progress and willingness to take one for the team if circumstances require. (I may have made that last part up.)
Specifically, the organization is honoring Rice for ”her work in advancing U.S. interests, strengthening the world’s common security and prosperity, and promoting respect for human rights,” another press release states.
The evening gala and awards ceremony, which included Vice President Joe Biden, came the day before State Department whistleblowers testified at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the terrorist attack that took place at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last year.
In a world where Obama is considered a great president, Hillary Clinton the best Sec'y of State ever, and where Al Franken sits in the Senate, this is not surprising. In fact, it's to be expected.
Next up: Ariel Castro wins the Planned Parenthood award for his unselfish dedication to the cause of women and children.
I read this and kept thinking about a certain Bible verse,
2 Timothy 3:1-3 CEV - 1 You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. 2 People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless, 3 heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything that is good.
And I'm thinking boy are we there or what???
America's hope is not the donkey or the elephant, but the Lamb.
