Olympics are definitely the pits. forcing athletes to eat swill and live in no air conditioning to appease the Green God, forcing swimmers to compete in heavily polluted Seine. Mocking Christianity in “woke” opening!? Have they not heard of Charlie Hebdo poking fun at Muhammad in cartoons can get you whacked? They count on Christians turning the other check, but the Old Testament has not been repealed.
Too bad the Olympic Opening Ceremony mucked it up with so much social commentary. It was a visually stunning presentation, which I fortunately watched with SOUND OFF. Nor did I see the Last Supper sequence and was unaware of the controversy, but your Charlie Hebdo reminder is poignant. (no muzzle bashing allowed)
Social commentary aside, it was mesmerizing to watch:
The red, white, & blue (French flag colors)fireworks on the bridge to begin festivities on the Seine
—the trek of the Olympic flame from empty stadium, from rooftop to rooftop
—the dancers in water alongside the Seine
—the swaying pole top dancers
—the masterpieces confiscated from the Louvre and brought to the Seine as ships of Olympians floated by
—the Notre Dame reconstruction workers doing ballet from scaffoldings
—high wire trapeze over the Seine
—a beheaded Marie Antoinette
—a dazzling light and laser show as darkness fell on the Eiffel Tower
—the galloping silver animatron horse on the water
—and the Olympic flame finally being lit and rising high into night sky by hot air balloon.
Visually unforgettable. LA ‘28 won’t be able to top it no matter Hollywood’s special affects
The Olympics are not what they were decades ago. Half the competitions are not even competitions. They bit the hand that feeds them just like Bud Lite.
The Olympics, UN,Act Blue,our education system,organized religion,you name it its been terrorized by the obama lackeys and turned as far left as they can.
Just one more reason these elections are so important. I keep repeating we can't let this one be stolen! The stakes are too high.
