Sad how others don’t see it the same way…

Fox News is reporting that a Chinese man stabbed and killed relatives of the coach of the US Volleyball team on the first day of the games. We need to get our people out of there and bring them home. The situation is what it is and athletic games won’t change it.

Violent crimes against foreigners are rare in China and lest we forget, in 1996 we had our own problems during the Atlanta Olympics with the Centennial Park bombing where one woman died and another man died of a heart attack while running away. 111 were injured.

I found it particularly pathetic how the Chinese used the little boy that survived the recent earthquakes.

I felt this was a wonderful way to honor a little boy who had suffered and survived so much. I am sure it was a night he will never forget. He was in the arms of Yao Ming, on TV, and watching a spectacular event. He was being honored for his bravery.
There are “missionaries” in China, but they go there to teach English or something like that. Our church sponsors 2 such missionaries, but they do not release their names in order to protect them. We went to a church in China that was for foreigners and we had to show our passports to get in. No Chinese citizens allowed. Our guides waited for us outside on the bus. PBS, (believe it or not) actually did a very accurate assesment of China in a series called “China From the Inside”. If you ever come across it, it is definitely worth setting the Tivo for. It even talks about the millions involved in the underground churches and the consequences when they are discovered. The series also discusses the “rights” of women and the lack of control they have over their own bodies.
My thoughts on the Olympics in China are that the Chinese people don’t have a lot to be excited about and I would hate to take this away from them. I do know that they are truly excited as I have friends in China from our adoption trip and we still correspond frequently.

If you haven’t seen Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters say she whats to socialize the oil industry… have the government take it over, you should. I find it chilling…

I don’t find it chilling at all, it is not even close to suprising me, I have on many occassions put links up to show commentors on this site members of Congress whom are members of Socialist organizations and Maximus Waterus is one of many, She was actually saying what she and others believe (with her slip of the tounge) that private industry not just oil companies, should be taken over by government, that is just their first target. I believe at last count it was 73 members of Congress associated with Socialist organizations.

Sorry! Its LGM, not LGN!

Ah China… lgm’s, rusty’s, San Fran Nan’s, and Obama’s idea of the perfect government

I almost agree.

I suspect that China is probably too free for Nan, The Sail-eared One, Life’s Great Nobrain, and Rust-pate.

After all, they allow some private ownership, and a token “Loyal Opposition” in China. That’s something the Lefty-brownshirts are doing their very best to jackboot out of existance in the U.S.

I’m pretty certain our church has a missionary presence in China, and the Chinese gov. is loosening up control in fits & starts.

They know that prosperity in linked to Freedom, (obviously smarter than the Lefties here…).

They’re trying to find the tipping point between where they control the population and enough when the population has enough Freedom to make their country mighty. And then to not cross that point.

I’m hoping they underestimate and soon go one step too far.

When that happens Freedom will come like a landslide. Bloody and confusing, but smashing and clearing all the old forms in its path.

Well, everyone has a daydream, don’t they?

BTW:
I always capitalize Freedom in that context. I consider it a proper noun.

I do wish the Leftards considered it a noun proper for us.

I watched part of the opening ceremonies last night… reminded me of this poster of Achievement.

That pretty much says it.
