This is not about Chuck, it’s about the issue. In my first post that started this I raised some others like the massive displacement of millions of homeless to put a good face on China, and their continued closing of factories putting unknown millions out of work ... not to protect the environment ... but only as a temporary measure again ... to show what good environmental stewards they are (and how callous they are about human life and the economic needs of their citizens).
This is no bogus story, even the WSJ has given considerable coverage to it (without really raising a stink).
The outcry over those two measure alone ought to be heard far and wide day and night ...
But the other real story about that is the revelation it provides about the political revolution left. When they target a free country they use every means possible to bring it down including a false concern about safety and environment (so that they can get a stranglehold upon the free market and a “legitimate” excuse to strangulate free enterprise) but once in control, the heck with safety and environment.
Attacking the messenger only deflects the issue that so many of us ought to be concerned about.
And I’m not talking about interventionism either, only that we have a relationship, and have had relationships dating back to the 50’s, with Communist states, that tilt in their favor at our expense, and the expense of their millions and billions of ‘citizens.’
Creating an illusion of a good life in Utopia that is not so good, even as it simultaneously pulls down our good life, that would be much better, were we not so blind to the transfers of wealth and technology and the diminishing freedoms and public virtue right here.
Sure, folks are exploiting the Olympics to get the message out. And that just may be because a significant segment of our population never goes beyond the sport page. It could be that we just might inspire a few of them to think out of the batters box.
Maybe not - but the old Moscow boycott got the attention of this former jock.
But that doesn't negate my point that "palaeos" like Chuck Baldwin and Howard Phillips, who are all for "foreign entanglements" and "empire building" when it comes to non-Arab Communists, are hypocrites and anti-Semites for suddenly adopting a hands-off position with regard to Israel and Israel alone.
