Olympics Are NOT About Politics!

Yeah, riiiiight! It's never about politics. But China is not allowing any contact from within their country with Amnesty International; they've "cracked down" on beggars and disabled persons (people we call "homeless" in America) who are being ordered off the streets. (Isn't that what they're doing in Denver so the [shudder] Democrats won't have to look at them)? They've also told people who for some inexplicable reason walk around in their pajamas not to do it. Also, no one is going to be allowed to unfurl banners that might "embarrass" the communist Chinese government. When bidding to host the games, they PROMISED that journalists would "enjoy complete freedom to report," including unfettered access to the Internet. But it ain't happening, due to a "last minute negotiation" with the Olympic Committee (where they told the IOC to "go to hell"). The IOC learned, too late, what it was like to "negotiate" with a communist dictatorship that feels it doesn't have to obey ANY rules it doesn't make itself. It's always a mistake treating a communist dictatorship like you would a "free country." They're learning that, now. (Common Sense)
