Shades of 1968.

I have mixed emotions about being represented by such jackasses. They have a simple solution - immigrate. I'm sure the 51st state would be happy to have them.

In the 1968 summer Olympics a group of athletes stuck their fists in the air in a "Black Power" salute and badmouthed the United States. George Foreman, who was there, was quite angry about that and there is an iconic photograph of him openly waiving an American flag. That act won my heart (not at the time; I was only 4 years old) but later in life. I've always had a soft spot for Foreman for defending his country that way. He made no bones about the fact he was disgusted by what these clowns did.

Sadly Big George died a little less than a year ago - March 25. No doubt he'd have some choice words for these bozos.

in many other countries these ingrates would be too hard at work to survive to be able to take time to train and go to the Olympics.

Donald Trump responded to one of the losers, er, athletes, one freestyle skier named Hunter Hess (any relations to Rudolf?) in his inimitable way:

"U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Indeed Hess took a slot that could have gone to someone who was proud to represent America. And frankly I'd rather lose with a patriot than win with an ingrate.

The article quotes a number of these little snowflakes and not to their advantage. They are proof that many younger Americans are completely spoiled rotten.

I've never cared for the Olympics. It is this neo-pagan festival designed to promote internationalism and the New World Order more than anything. It's also boring, in my opinion. It has long been my fondest dream to one day catch the rely of the torch before the opening of an Olympics and snuff it out with a fire extinguisher. My niece, who hates the Olympics too, has offered to join me, or at least give me tech support if I should care to implement this operation. Good girl!

A fire extinguisher should work nicely. And they are small enough to put in your coat these days.

At any rate these dopes who can't just shut up and ski/skate, whatever should think about Canada; it's close, it's culture is very similar to ours, and unless they move to Alberta they are probably going to be fine. I'd suggest they avoid Greenland though.

In Dante's Inferno one of the lowest circles of Hell is Antenora, the place for traitors to kin and country. Oh, and it's frozen solid; a great place for winter sports if you ask me!
