S. ATHLETES WARNED NOT TO WAVE FLAGS AT OLYMPICS
U.S. athletes competing in the 2004 summer games in Athens have been warned to tone down their "jingoism," and not to wave the flag excessively. Apparently, the thinking goes, our image in the world is so low, that we don't want to insult anyone. What?
Check out this statement from the USOC's acting president, Bill Martin: "We're not the favorite kid in the world right now." Well .. in part he's right. We're not exactly on the party invitation list for despotic Islamist regimes. The Euro-weenies, of course, hate us because they they can't survive without us. They are depending on us to save them from Islamic terrorism, while taking money behind the back from the very people who prey on them. And there are a number of countries that hate us, or fear us if you will, because of our strength. We are the world's reigning superpower. Some country is going to occupy that role .. and if not the United States, just who would Bill Martin want it to be?
Here's a thought. If you can't display your pride in your country ... If you can't wave the flag of the country for whom you are representing in the Olympic games, then what is the point of going? The USOC has no problem taking billions of dollars from U.S. consumers in the form of TV rights fees, commercials and sponsorships, and we can't wave our flag? I think not.
The people of the United States should be proud of what we're doing in Iraq. We've liberated tens of millions of people from one of history's most despotic regimes. We are attacking terrorism in the very region that spawns it. We are carrying the water for the gutless United Nations, which didn't have the nads to enforce its own resolutions. If Bush will get back on tract and renew his allegiance to his own "Bush Doctrine" our actions in the middle east will be noted by historians as noble, not wrong. I am more proud of our flag today than I have been in many years ... and I want to see it flying at the Olympics. Let those who envy us or hate us just suffer.
Many countries in the world hate freedom, they hate President Bush, and they hate the United States of America. That's all there is to it. Meanwhile, the olympic committee OKs transsexual athletes, and we can't wave the flag. Idiots.
