WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday the United States has a moral duty to condemn China's rights abuses but she urged U.S. athletes not to risk angering the "ruthless" Chinese government, a day before the opening of the Beijing Olympics.

Pelosi, speaking at a Congressional-Executive Commission on China hearing, said the International Olympic Committee "turns a blind eye" to Beijing's rights violations.

Her Communist Chinese Masters are flexing their muscle, and compromised Pelosi answers her Masters demands.

I think she’s making two points:

1) We have a moral duty to condemn China
2) We should say nothing because something bad might happen

Seems Pelosi is showing her true colors about CCP since her husband has ties with the Chinese Gov’t.

She knows all about ruthlessness. She invented that before Al Gore invented the internet.

...a Congressional-Executive Commission on China hearing

I hope they brought in the resident Congressional specialists on China - Eric Swalwell and Diane Feinstein.

Pelosi can GTH. And You Cabbage Patch Red Chinese Commies? close behind:

*****************************************************
Samuel Adams Philadelphia State house, Aug 1st, 1776:

ON LIBERTY

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.

The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

*****************************
塞缪尔亚当斯费城州议会大厦,1776 年 8 月 1 日:

论自由

如果你们爱财富胜过爱自由,爱奴役的安宁胜过爱自由的生机勃勃的竞赛,那么就从我们这里平安回家吧。我们不求你的忠告或你的武器。蹲下来舔喂你的手。愿你的枷锁轻轻落在你身上,愿后人忘记你是我们的同胞。

殖民者的自然权利包括:第一,生命权;第二,自由;第三是财产;以及以最佳方式支持和捍卫他们的权利。

我们国家的自由,我们公民宪法的自由,值得不顾一切地捍卫;我们有责任保护他们免受所有攻击。我们从可敬的祖先那里得到了它们作为公平的遗产:他们用辛劳、危险和宝物和鲜血为我们购买了它们,并小心翼翼地把它们传给了我们。如果我们让他们不经斗争就被暴力从我们手中夺走,或者被虚假和有计划的人的诡计骗走,这将给当代人带来永恒的耻辱印记,尽管我们已经开悟了。

I barely remembered that this was going on. This is the most apathetic I have ever been about any Olympics, summer or winter. I don’t plan to watch a minute of it. Screw the CCP!

To heck with that. Pelosi should tell us how we can make tons of money in the stock market like she did. A new podcast: Nancy’s Financial Way to Riches.

Pelosi is looking awful lately. Needs to apply more embalming putty when doing her makeup.
