I would like to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Although I am still at war with my mother-in-law, I no longer hate every University of Colorado football supporter. Even though most of them deserve my hatred.
In spite of my feverent conservative leanings, many of my personal friends are very liberal Democrats. I like to think of these friends as my children who are either still in need of learning or mentally challenged.
In fact, I have NEVER killed a Democrat or even wounded one because of his or her illogical beliefs that are affecting me and destroying my country. That fact alone should earn me the prize.
I have never threatened the President of the United States nor a member of the U.S. House or Senate. Besides paying tens of thousands of dollars every year in taxes and seeing my representatives and others collect some of that money for doing nothing I have remained mostly silent and respectful, so far.
When my former neighbor allowed their home to go into foreclosure and be put on the market just as I was selling mine (cost us about $18,000 in reduced value) I remained friendly to this neighbor. Although, it did help that my wife's employer picked up the reduction in value for us other wise I might have gone ballistic if it came out of my pocket.
So, I think I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for my remarkable restraint from violence.
