Nancy Pelosi Is Completely Worthless And Delusional

Nancy Pelosi is completely worthless and delusional. Big shocker there!!

Pelosi calls on Bush to boycott Olympic opening ceremonies

(CNN) -- U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says President Bush should consider boycotting the opening ceremony of the Olympics Games in Beijing this summer to protest China's human rights record.

"I think boycotting the opening ceremony, which really gives respect to the Chinese government, is something that should be kept on the table," Pelosi told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts in an interview to air Tuesday morning, according to the ABC News Web site. "I think the president might want to rethink this later, depending on what other heads of state do."

Pelosi said she does not think U.S. athletes should boycott the games themselves.

"I believe a boycott of the Beijing Olympics would unfairly harm our athletes who have worked so hard to prepare for the competition," she said in a statement last week.

President Bush has said he intends to meet with China's president during a trip to see the Olympic Games in Beijing, which start on August 8. Bush didn't elaborate on what issues he might bring up, but his administration has accused China, a major U.S. trade partner, of human rights abuses.

Other world leaders have wrestled with whether to attend the Olympics.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has said he may skip the opening ceremonies. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she will skip the Olympics. Britain's Prince Charles said in January he has "no plans to attend the ceremony."

Pelosi has been a vocal critic of China's crackdown on anti-government protesters in Tibet.

"If freedom-loving people throughout the world do not speak out against China's oppression in China and Tibet, we have lost all moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world," Pelosi told reporters during a visit to the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, in Dharamsala, India, on February 21.

Dharamsala is the center of the Tibetan community in India, where many Tibetans fled after a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959.

"The situation in Tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world," Pelosi added.

In a statement from her office on Friday, the California Democrat encouraged people to express their views in San Francisco next month when the Olympic torch passes through on its worldwide trek.

"I support the rights of individuals and groups to make their views known about the actions of the Chinese government."

China launched its torch relay Monday in a controlled ceremony in front of invited guests at Tiananmen Square. The torch will be taken on a 130-day journey around the world in what is said to be the longest torch relay in Olympic history.

Students for a Free Tibet, a Tibetan exile group, said its protesters will challenge police as the flame moves through 23 cities on five continents before returning to China, where it will be taken throughout the nation on the way to opening ceremonies.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang has said that the games should not be politicized.

"We hope to enhance mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation with other peoples through the Games," Qin said in a statement on the ministry's Web site. "We must follow the purpose of the Olympics and not politicize the games."

Allow me to explain something. The United States has NEVER had the "moral authority to speak on behalf of human rights anywhere in the world". The United States has never and will never have a leg to stand on when it comes to the issue of human rights. Nancy Pelosi and anyone else who thinks otherwise is delusional.

"I think boycotting the opening ceremony, which really gives respect to the Chinese government, is something that should be kept on the table," Pelosi told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts in an interview to air Tuesday morning, according to the ABC News Web site. "I think the president might want to rethink this later, depending on what other heads of state do."

So in other words, let's be disrespectful and start more shit around the world. Right Nancy? Is that what you're suggesting?

The Olympics have nothing to do with politics, and politics should be kept out of this. The point of the Olympics is to bring people together from all over the world to compete against each other in sports. It is also about bringing people together in peace for two weeks, and putting aside our differences with the hope that maybe we can learn a thing or two from each other. It is not about China and Tibet, or China and Darfur, or anything else!! Clearly Nancy Pelosi and others don't get it!!

Pelosi said she does not think U.S. athletes should boycott the games themselves.

"I believe a boycott of the Beijing Olympics would unfairly harm our athletes who have worked so hard to prepare for the competition," she said in a statement last week.

Really Nancy? How exactly would a boycott on our part "unfairly harm" the athletes? If they decide to boycott the Olympics, it's their own damn fault. It's not unfairly harming them. If they're not willing to speak out against a potential boycott, they have nobody to blame but themselves for not going to the Olympics.

Pelosi has been a vocal critic of China's crackdown on anti-government protesters in Tibet.

In a statement from her office on Friday, the California Democrat encouraged people to express their views in San Francisco next month when the Olympic torch passes through on its worldwide trek.

"I support the rights of individuals and groups to make their views known about the actions of the Chinese government."

Are you encouraging violence Nancy? There's bound to be some violence!! There always is!! Again, she doesn't get it. But, I'm not surprised.

This is coming from a woman (and I use that term loosely) who encourages people to express their views about China. Yet, she doesn't encourage the people in this country to express their views of this government. She doesn't encourage people to speak out against the human rights abuses perpetrated by this country all over the world, and in this country. When people pleaded with her to start impeachment proceedings against the thugs in the White House, she basically told us to FUCK OFF. When people pleaded with her to help get our troops out of Iraq, she basically told us to FUCK OFF.

This bitch doesn't give a fuck about anyone but herself, and what she can get out of something. She sits on her throne like she's the fucking queen, and everyone else can go to hell. She deserves to be dethroned because she's completely worthless and delusional.

If I had the money, I would buy tickets for myself and my family to go to the Olympics in China. I would spend every penny I had in CHINA.

If the United States wants to start shit by boycotting the Olympics, they can go right ahead. It will just be yet another reason why this country is disliked by the rest of the world. We're the biggest hypocrites on the planet. We don't know the meaning of the word PEACE. We're so full of shit that there will never be enough toilets on Earth to contain it!!
