Unable to extricate itself from its Cold War mentality, the United States was playing a dwindling role in world politics, while Russia, China, Brazil, Europe, India and Japan were becoming stronger, Gorbachev said.

Heh, my icons:

Russia is stronger on: corruption, restriction of the press, human rights, competition and political opposition of any kind, the Mafia, you name a few…

China is stronger on: communism, with all its ‘glories’, opressions and limitations, infanticide, bus-executions, overt/covert support of North Korea, you add yours…

Brazil is stronger than ever on corruption at the highest level, but it is independent of foreign oil…

Europe is stronger on…can’t think of anything. Maybe you can…

India is stronger on democracy, work ethics, true multi-culturalism, including religion…some hope for India as a future world leader…

Japan is stronger on democracy, self-defence, alliance with the West, improved relations with Asian neighbors…is already a positive in the world leadership…

Not to mention the paragon of morality, equality human rights and justice the U.N. is and enforces…

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down those tinted glasses!

Laura Ingraham did a show about babies being dumped in trash bags in China due to their one child policy, and I couldn’t shake it.

We have so much here, so much wealth and so much freedom. But we can’t stop things like this from occurring. It’s difficult.

That’s a problem that I’ve had replying to a lot of Allah’s posts lately. He presents a terrible tragedy, points out how everyone who should be able to stop it is powerless to, and leaves us just staring at the screen, outraged. In other words, once again, I don’t know what to do.

I apologize for having no solutions to the Chinese oppression in Tibet.

I have problems with Allah when it comes to Ann Coulter – he dislikes her. When he is in his, say, 30’s he will understand her hard nosed approach – he will have matured intellectually. : )

I’m in my 30s.

But to return to the initial topic, well, I’m actually speechless.

Are we ever going to do something about it? Can we do something about it? Why won’t the UN do anything?

To defend him a smidge, I think this post is meant to show us where our allies reside or don’t. I often think that Russia would be on our side (THe USA) since they fight Arab Muslims/Muslim Chechens in the Chechen conflict and once in the Afghan theatre.

The Russians I don’t think would be on our side. Same goes for the Chinese. Both have had and still do have strong Commie beliefs – anti-theistic.

Btw, concerning Tibet, we can’t go in… you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

A UN layman “spokesman” witness to the Rwandan genocide once said we needed an international body that strictly stopped Genocide around the Globe. Wishful thinking – man is in a fallen state – man is evil at his/her core.

You will always have sides to choose, party affiliations – which will you be a strict republican/ conservative/ theist/ moderate /libertine / dem / liberal / socialist / commie ?

Oh and btw, understanding this fact – I can’t find Kristen Powers sexy — only dense and given the chance she would build a German-esque Wall and have target practice. There are plenty of sexy, smart and conservative women.

World diplomats push for enforcing N.Korea sanctions: The United States insisted on Sunday that China had an obligation to help enforce new U.N. sanctions on North Korea for its claimed nuclear test, despite Beijing’s misgivings over the risk of provo…

That is why Michelle needs to buy a server and host Conservative vids – I’m sure it’s only a matter of time. She should do it before someone else does so and gets popularity.

She could name it “The Conservative – You Tube“

I don’t have much, but I would donate for the cause, especially if it was done the way the Hot Air videos are done sense I can’t watch youtube videos while at work.

The funny thing is I’m actually more productive when I watch videos.

You’d never be able to keep this posted on YouTube. It shows the Chinese soldiers being racially insensitive to the Tibetan civillians.

They would remove it instantly once flagged. YouTube is on guard for us.

Of course, You Tube is watching conservative films… there is a market for lies. Microsoft, Google and, is it, Yahoo have bowed to China – and it has a Leftist slant.

America wouldn’t look so bad if the media would show the true face of the rest of the world. And we can’t have that.

I’m sure the UN Human Rights Council will have something to say about this! Huh? China is a member of the Human Rights Council? Oh, okay. Then I guess this is completely justifiable. My bad.

But remember, the Chinese culture is so old and superior. And the society is a commune. What’s mine is yours and vice-versa. Unless you want to leave the enforced commune…

Who cares, one more dead Chinaman……

:(

Please think before you post.

It’s good to see these things. Bad that it happens. But good that we truly know who our real friends and enemies are. And the Chinese communists are not our friends.

Who cares, one more dead Chinaman……

Despicable.

Who cares, one more dead Chinaman……

Moby.

Tibetans are NOT Chinese.

I hate communism, but don’t espect me to love those assholes.

How many Chinese realize this? Very few I suspect.

We are selling all of our ideas and production technologies to these people freely.

I could care less about selling of technology, it’s using the technology to supress. It’s the involvement of American Companies allowing this suppression, like Google, should not be allowed.

One can say it’s bad for business, but to the Chinese, this is business. The argument that, if you don’t do it, then someone else will, does not cut a reasonable business model.

The left will come up with some way to acknowledge these murders as something wonderful and will heap praise upon the Chinese for killing innocents.

That’s because they’re Buddist and not Muslims. No really, I kinda understand Richard Gere now.
