February 07, 2014, 10:11 am Pelosi: Russian anti-gay law like stepping into 'ancient history'
By Mario Trujillo
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Russia's anti-gay laws are like stepping into “ancient history” and expressed disappointment that the Winter Olympics are being held in Sochi.
Russia’s anti-gay laws make it inappropriate to hold the games there, Pelosi said, adding the Olympics Committee has “never been concerned about human rights.”
“In light of the LGBT issues, it is like going into ancient history,” she said on NowThis News. “The whole world is moved to a different place, and that there should even be an issue speaks to the inappropriateness of Russia being the site for the Winter Olympics.”
She added: “I'm disappointed that Sochi is the site.”
The law passed last year bars propaganda of “non-traditional” sexual relations aimed at minors. The real-world effects of the law go much farther, critics say.
The majority of recent criticism of the Olympic site has stemmed from security issues, as the Homeland Security Committee has warned flights to Russia to be on the lookout for explosive material hidden in toothpaste and cosmetic tubes.
Pelosi did not address the issue in the short, 45-second clip posted on the website.
Despite her concerns, Pelosi admitted the Games end up messing with her schedule because she is drawn to watch — sometimes live; there is a nine-hour time difference between Washington, D.C., and Sochi.
“Here is my thing about the Olympics,” she said. “It really, it really destroys my schedule because I watch it all the time into the night. I am watching it when it is happening instead of waiting until the next day.”
She has a somewhat parochial view of what “the whole world” consists of.
Russia? I thought she was talking about Islam! Now there’s ancient history. Has anyone told Pelosi what they do to homosexuals in those countries?
and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
Those who approve of all the things listed in the verses 18-31 above, who approve of all these things, in which homosexuality is clearly defined, will be punished just like the ones who practice such sins. She approves of homosexuals, thus she will see the same punishment of homosexuals. So, good ole Nancy, who claims to be "religious" is doomed for her unrepentant sin. Bible makes that clear.
Pelosi finding out that when you have Alzhemer’s you don’t know you have it.
They seem quite emboldened to slam Russia for it’s stance on gays, but not a peep about the way gays are treated in in Islamic countries.
Good. Keep watching it 24/7 and stay off the Hill.
She and her cohorts are cowards.
