Who's Up for a Chinese Olympic Boycott?

There may be a growing trend to boycott the Chinese Olympic opening ceremonies. Boycott the opening ceremonies...How lame is that? Why not just boycott the Chinese Olympics altogether? Boycott the opening ceremonies? Puhleeeese!

But if you're talking a for real boycott of the altogether kind, maybe we can talk.

A boycott, you ask? Why in the world would anyone want to boycott the Chi-Com's Olympics in Red China? (I guess we don't call it Red China anymore do we...and why is that, again?)

Let's see; most recently they've rounded up and detained 1,000 Tibetans in a Chinese crackdown. More on the Chi-Com horrors in Tibet here.

If you're an Olympic athlete all set to compete in China, you've been told you may not criticize them. That would be enough for me if I was about to head over there! No can do after this threat to my freedom of speech! What have they to fear? You mean all is not well in Red China? What have they to hide?

And what about those Chinese threats to Taiwan?

Then there are those pesky recalls which have been going on for the last couple of years.

But maybe the most important reason to boycott the Chi-Com Olympics is because of their questionable Clinton connection. Who knows what that means to our national security!

Full disclosure time; I'm not a big Olympics fan and I'm not going to spend much time on them regardless of where they are located, but when it comes to allowing a communist country replete with vast human rights abuses, to propagandize to the world via this mega-media event, I say, not with my support.

I can only wish I was a world class athlete so I could thumb my nose at the Chi-Coms. After all, how many chances does one get to make such a monumental statement that would be seen around the world?
