men who matter

when I heard that Al Gore had won the Nobel Peace Prize, I was appalled. His scientifically-disproven Global Warming Theory has done nothing but create a sense of fear and condemnation among citizens of the world - hardly a peaceful affair. Of course humans are irresponsible and have contributed to the destruction of the world, both in their actions towards the earth as well as their actions towards each other. But when does leftist political rhetoric justify peace? Only when we tolerate all offbeat human tendencies, from sexual preference to religion (including the religions that aim for our destruction)?

While Al and friends continue to spread their hoax-as-mantra and dominate the political biosphere (remind me not to suck in too much of their private jet fuel in my daily breathing of toxic carcinogens), another man-on-the-move has received equally notable global praise as TIME Magazine's Person of the Year. No, not General Petraeus or even the beloved Al Gore for that matter, but in fact the powerful Communist Dictator Vladimir Putin. As the President of Russia, he has embraced the Axis of Evil, appointing himself as the primary supporter of the Terrorist Nations - both in weapons as well as his own personal support. TIME's Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor or endorsement per se, nor is it a popularity contest. TIME claims that "he has performed an extraordinary feat of leadership in imposing stability on a nation that has rarely known it and brought Russia back to the table of world power." And this, my friends, indeed warrants an award of sorts. A rising Russian Czar, steadily seeking to expand his power, territory and global influence - look out world!

While we are on the topic of Men Who Matter (and the Axis of Evil, and religions we should tolerate although they want us dead) this week marks the beginning of the annual Hajj, or Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. Mahmoud Ahmedinijad, another Powerful President, is in attendance for his first time at this highly-revered event in Saudi Arabia. As he stopped on Mount Arafat to pray, do you think he was praying for his greatest desire to manifest - the destruction of Israel? Not too long ago, he met with Putin regarding their shared political agendas and necessary weaponry for facilitation of such. Shortly thereafter, a US intelligence report revealed that Iran was not actually manufacturing these weapons. Many questioned President Bush's OWN intelligence, though he himself continues to identify Iran as a threat contrary to the (left-influenced?) reports. As a Man Who Matters, President Bush continues to lead America AGAINST the Axis of Evil and its Evil Kremlin, and is often criticized for his own keen global agenda. Who IS the most powerful man in the world, in this struggle for world power?

One final man comes to mind in the global power struggle, though he is hardly struggling over in his corner of the world. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has recently been seen in public with a famous model, just weeks after his divorce from former wife Cecilia. While he was not up for TIME's Person of the Year (surprising? yes), he is gaining more and more power worldwide. The Bible indicates that the AntiChrist will rise from the European nations, perhaps as the leader of the EU, of Jewish descent, and that he will not be married. Whether or not my personal speculation will manifest as per the End Times Prophecies, I enjoy watching Sarkozy become more and more popular and powerful with each passing day. Regardless, no one can argue that each of these Men Who Matter play a vital role in Global Domination, and perhaps in the destruction of the warming, deteriorating planet.
