Why I'll be Watching the Olympics
From ROP's Picture of the Week.
| The US Olympic team has chosen a Jihad survivor, Lopez Lomong, to carry the American flag in China, which sponsors ethnic cleansing in his native Sudan through oil purchases and arms sales. At the age of 6, Lomong was among 100 children kidnapped from a church service by Islam's Holy Warriors duirng a Religion of Peace raping and killing spree. |
I've had mixed feelings about the Olympics taking place in China. But after seeing this story, I've decided that Jesse Owens' medals in Berlin are a greater victory than Carter's boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Carter's boycott showed disapproval and little else. The absence of boycotting countries just enabled the Communist nation to gather more medals and toot their own horn.
Jesse Owens' four gold medals sent a clear message to Hitler's master race in his own backyard that ethnic Africans were not inferior.
Decades later, we are still struggling against oppressive and violent totalitarian ideologies. Lomong's presence is a stark reminder that we will not be silenced by terrorism, but we will rise up victoriously.
That trumps a boycott in my book.
