Of course I will give you my comments. To tell you the truth I don’t buy it. So let me see if I get it right here. Someone has someone in their family die and so we are supposed to not criticize their government? If this persons father died 2 years ago of cancer then I am sorry. I am not sure what it has to do with anything that is going on in the political arena that we call China. I will not directly speak of this person but of this tactic in general. I see this kind of thing on the left all the time. Wasn’t it just recently they marched out the poor children who would be left out if we didn’t pass SCHIP or whatever that health care thing was?
You can feel sorry for someones pain and also disagree with them on major issues. They have nothing in common and should not be used as a debating tool. This goes for both posters.
I will not and can not lower my voice about the murderous government in China because someone has had a lose. I will also not ask for forgiveness of my comments because of a loss I have. As a conservative I take responsibility for what I say and do. I will always do this.
To China boy I say this. If your government wasn’t so corrupts perhaps your father could have been saved. I don’t know. I do know there is a big problem right now with doctors giving out fake meds to Children with the HFM disease going around. I also know that government officials are on the take to make money off of given out fake meds and fake traditional meds. It is a big enough problem over here that you actually see adds about it.
Thus ends my comments. Not very comforting but truthful.
Thanks, KFB. I certainly share your political POV. Well said. With over 82 new sign ups from China since May 12 there are a range of views and attitudes coming with them. One in particular is doing an outstanding job of bringing news of the earthquake aftermath and his personal views of life in China. He isn’t a knee jerk cheerleader for the PLA and has spoken of problems there. His observations are mostly apolitical which may be a necessity for him but it is probably an asset for FR. I guess we will see what the rest are here for as time goes by.
