Let's Talk About Red China and the Olympics

Lately there has been much to do about Red China hosting the Olympics. Assaulting Torch Bearers, pushing President Bush not to attend the Opening Ceremonies, the blatant stifling of athlete's free speech, you name it. But is all this bruhaha hurting the ChiComs?

Maybe, it is causing them to lose "face".

Will it help the human right cause?

I don't think so.

But one thing I do know, is protesting the Olympics is not right!

You can protest Red China, a Commie Dictatorship, but you shouldn't protest the Olympics. Because when you protest the Olympics, you are not protesting Red China, but the athletes that there to participate in a sporting events.

We should support the athletes, regardless of international politics, because this is about them, not the hosting ChiComs.

So protest the human rights violating Chicoms, but leave the Olympics out of the protest.

Oh, I Get it, If We Don't Want Food, Toys and Petfood to Kill Us, We Are Protectionists

Red China has nasty, if not non existent, quality controls on the products they make and ship to America. Products that can kill us, our children and our pets. But when we raise a stink about it, demand better control, demand products that are safe, we are protectionists.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Mattel has only itself to blame for a huge toy recall that has stoked global alarm about Chinese-made goods, state media said on Thursday, charging that a slew of foreign safety scares had exposed a protectionist agenda.

...

The paper said foreign media reports about unsafe Chinese food and products were exaggerated and ignored the good record of nearly all the country's exporters.

"People have reason to fear that some government officials and media in the United States hope to use doubts about the overall quality of Chinese goods to press for narrow trade protection."

So, America's concerns over quality, if not toxic, products is all a Gov't plot to implement protectionist restrictions. If that is "protectionism", then I am all for it.

And it strikes me as ironic that the ChiComs sound an awful like the Donks in their blaming others for their screw-ups, and never taking responsibility. It must be a commie thing.

The Al Gore-Bot is Still Red China's Boy Toy

Remember back after the '96 campaign when it was revealed that Al Gore slunk off to LA and received a million dollars from the Red Chinese at a Buddhist monastery? Well nothing has changed, the Gore-bot is still a ChiCom puppet.

Emerging economies such as China are justified in holding back on fighting greenhouse gas emissions until richer polluters like the United States do more to solve the problem, former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday.

Chinese officials said they would act after industrial countries such as the United States and others make changes themselves, Gore said, addressing a conference in Madrid on global warming.

"They're right in saying that. But we have to act quickly," said Gore, who was nominated last week for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in drawing attention to global warming.

So the Gore-bot agrees with Red China that the US should cripple it's economy and manufacturing industry while the ChiComs' can continue to grow theirs and pollute. Seems fair.... in the mind of a Socialistic Commie Loving Chicken Little Myth spreader. President Bush was right in not signing the Kyoto Protocols, it would hurt more than it would help. Just look at some of the countries that did sign it: Canada - spent billions and is way behind in it's reductions of greenhouse gases, the same for the UK and the rest of Europistan. No one has met their goals, and all they have done is stifle their economies, restrict their industries and allowed Red China to gain market share. But they look good to the world as they jump over the cliff like lemmings.

The Gore-bot hasn't changed, it all about blaming America and Republicans while bending over for the ChiComs. What a guy, someone should nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize...ooops someone already did. Smuck!

The ChiComs are Party Poopers!

One of the fun things about going to Red China is the mangled English they use on their signs. That is coming to an end as they get ready for the 2008 Olympics.

BEIJING -- For years, foreigners in China have delighted in the loopy English translations that appear on the nation's signs. They range from the offensive ("Deformed Man," outside toilets for the handicapped) to the sublime (on park lawns, "Show Mercy to the Slender Grass").

Last week, Beijing city officials unveiled a plan to stop the laughter. With hordes of foreign visitors expected in town for the 2008 Summer Olympics, Beijing wants to cleanse its signs of translation nonsense. For the next eight months, 10 teams of linguistic monitors will patrol the city's parks, museums, subway stations and other public places searching for gaffes to fix.

You can't expect the brainwashed offspring of Chairman Mao to have a sense of humor.

Humorless Drone Party Poopers!!
