So, what does Redstate.com, Hillary Clinton, and other stupid people have in common? They think we should boycott the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games in China. Others think we should skip the games all together. They say it would be a symbolic stand against China embarrassing them in the world community. A symbolic stand? What the hell does that matter? Does China really care about something so trivial; not when we are importing billions of dollars of Chinese goods every year. That's what we should really be concerned about. But instead of taking a real stand against China, it's better to make some lame attempt involving the Olympics. Give me a fricken break.
Now, don't get me wrong, I hate China like every other warm-blooded American, but I'm for taking a real stand against them, not this bullshit. Boycotting the games and still sending them billions is like spitting in the wind and hoping to cause a flood. But that's the way most Americans think. We'd rather do something symbolic and ultimately meaningless then something concrete and effective but difficult. Taking the easy way out, the American Way!

I actually like China cuz if they wanted take a stand against the U.S. and our beliefs/ideals they would actually play hard ball - shut down the sweatshops in China and the Chinese restaurants here. borderline apocalypse essentially.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I too, will add a link to your blog on mine.
I haven't read all of your blogs but did enjoy reading this one. Boycotting the Olympics... what in the world would that do? It's the same as when they tell us to not fill up our cars with gas for ONE whole day. Oh gee like that's gonna piss off the oil companies.
