Anyways..... Confused

I can't remember the year early 70's when the Israeli atheletes were murdered? I just kind of worry we're sending our atheletes into another politically torn situation.

The monk uniforms we're tongue in cheek,but imagine the outrage China would feel. One has to be very careful setting foot in a situation like our young atheletes are going into.

China can't even get through the torch relay,"maybe" making up stories about terrorists,"claiming" the Dali Lama is causing all the trouble.

I know these young people have worked hard and are excited but my worry is are we going to loose lives again Say what?


The monk robes would probably cause a pretty big, commotion. Not sure if that would be good or bad. But when Miller suggested that, then OReilly suggested arm bands or something to show a protest against China.

I think instead of boycotting the opening ceremonies some sort of arm band would be appropriate. But I think it should be the athletes that make that decision not the government.

Personally I think the athletes will be safe, china will not want an incident to make them look bad and risk the chance of getting the games ever again.

Problem is you do drink the Liberal Media Kool-Aid! You are not balanced in your views. Everything is Bush's fault, and Bush can do no good! In reality all Presidents have a record of good and bad, positive things and negative things.

The only difference in Bush is no president has had a bulls eye on his back with the Liberal Media and special interest groups and individuals like Soros. Problem with you is if the Kool-Aid is Bush flavored you drink it and suck every drop out you can, you have became blinded and for that reason can not reasonably look at both sides of the issues.

Well if the Liberal media controls the news as you say--you only have one person to thank- GW Bush....Its his appointees to the FCC that have been going against the wishes of the public opinion, ACLU, many Constitutional groups and allowing 4,5,6,7 , etc of these media sources (tv, radio, magazines, newspapers) to consolidate or buy each other out until they have one big oligopoly- of which all news or info they want put out to the public is controlled by one person- like the Turners, Soros, Murdocks...

OMG give me a break! You are about as reasonable as Turnthatcowloosemaw on Cattle Today. I think it may be wise to just not waste time reading your responses any more. You are a mental case!

Oldtimer, are you at all proud of America? Cause most of your posts seem to carry distain for the U.S.A. and anything that President Bush has tried to do. My grandfather spent 9 months in a French hospital after world war 1 because he was mustard gassed protecting your freedom to whine and bitch and complain about anything any Republican does. I'm just curious if ANYTHING about America pleases you of if you'd be happy as a Cuban?


I am very proud of America- and that is one of the reasons I voice my opinions....I have never in my life seen one President do so much as this idiot has in avoiding enforcing any law, eroding the Constitution, selling out the sovereignty of the nation, and losing all credibility/respect the US has in the world...I thought no one could be worse than Clinton- boy did I get surprised Shocked

For your info- my father served in Company G, the 163rd Rifle Battalion, of the 41st Infantry (Rainbow Division) from 1940 to 1945- many months of that time which were spent in an Australian hospital where he had been evacutated from New Guinea- during most of which he was unconscious without his family knowing if he was alive or dead...He was a totally disabled veteran- who died a premature death because of his war connected disabilities at age 59.....
So don't give me the current neocon bull of being holier than thou, if I don't drink the Bushite Koolaid- and because I still believe in the laws of this country, the Constitution, and the 3 branch power of government which we've survived over 200 years with- and that I've spent 37 years enforcing and protecting - all of which GW has shown contempt for and is arrogantly doing everything to destroy in his efforts to sell out this country to his elitist corporate buddies and lobbyiests....

Cheney summed up King Georges reign quite well the other day when told that some polls showed that up to 80% of Americans wanted the US to get out of Iraq-- when he answered "SO WHAT" Say what? Sad Mad

When history looks back at President Bush, I think it will look at him as PROTECTING AMERICA including your ungrateful butt! Your argument for "leaning on the Constitution" makes me sick. You and your liberal buddies only tear down our President during a time of war. You offer few solutions except to blast Bush. You show no respect for the office of President. You are exactly like the folks you are in bed with; Pelosi, Reid, Michael Moore, Dean, and on and on.... Whining libs who can't wait to cut and run, raise taxes, push socialist balloney on everyone and screw over our country. If your type had their way ya'll would have stopped Normandy! I can picture ya standing at the front of a landing craft in your peace tee shirt, saying "stay on the boat fellas cause protecting freedom just aint worth fighting! How many attacks on America since we went into Iraq? Anyone? Anyone? Get back to YOUR liberal koolaid and slammin' any of us who disagree with your opinion.

Well your view of me is about as far from the truth as can be...

But it does not surprise me- since it appears you, like so many others, go around beating your chest and proclaiming yourself a good Conservative or good Republican- but you have been so brainwashed by the neocon bull of this present regime that you don't realize you couldn't make a pimple on a true conservatives (or old Republicans) butt and that your current beliefs of big government, nation building, no fiscal responsibility, disregard of the Constitution, etc. etc. make most of them cringe...

This administrations legacy will be that it could care less for the people of America- or what the majority of America wanted...Cheney summed up their legacy when he was told that up to 80% of the people polled said they wanted our troops out of Iraq- and his answer was "So What" Shocked

I need to tone down my emotions and apologize for taking a run at oldtimer. I just get fed up with all the politics and Bush bashing, but running off at the mouth rarely solves much. I'll agree to disagree with you and treat you with a little more respect. Hopefully you can see fit to do the same. I'll stick to the other forums where my blood pressure stays on the chart. Good luck to you and yours.

So what is the Canadians feelings on all this? The Politicians and citizens. Is there much of an out rage in Canada at what is going on in China and Tibet? Or is the concern more along the lines of the safety of your athletes?

Well personally I think my country feels a bit of both. The political problams can affect the safty of our atheletes.Alot of people support the Tibeten cause,but Canada also has a huge Chinese population. If it comes down to the saftey of the atheletes,it will be because of political problams not person problams. I'm kinda also fence sitting on this. Theres no doute in my mind China will go out of there way to have the biggest and best Olymic games but I'm not sure if they can contain the political problams to get through the games.

The artical I posted confuses and scares me...I'm not too sure I believe the "Terrorist" story and if its not true why are they claiming this Say what?
