Concerning Nancy Pelosi. What do you suppose this stupid and 'liberally' educated harridan really knows? Why is it rich people like her do so much to prevent everyone else from working their way out of the working class and into the middle class? Why does she oppose the passing of one generation's wealth onto the next generation?
She understand nothing of what it is like to work at a skilled trade. She knows nothing of digging ditches. She knows nothing of hard work and determination because she has never had to do any of it. She has been born to wealth and she knows nothing of what it takes to produce wealth.
Quoting the Wikipedia:
'The Pelosi family has a net worth of over US$25 million, primarily from Paul Pelosi's investments. In addition to their large portfolio of jointly owned San Francisco Bay Area real estate, he also has millions of dollars in stock from publicly traded companies such as Microsoft, Amazon.com and AT&T. In 2003, the Pelosi family sold their eight-acre (three hectare) Rutherford vineyard. Pelosi continues to be among the richest members of Congress.[6]'
She is phony from the git-go. The only thing she is interested in is obtaining more power and glory for Nancy Pelosi. Nothing else really matters to this wealthy little dumb bunny. She is too shallow to understand what really makes the world go round, let alone the American Ideals.
The Dalai Lama should let the world know that he wants to attend the Beijing Olympics. This would be one of the best international moves on his part, and would further expose China for what it really is, a human rights foe.
Dalai lama
This monkey and his kind are so lazy all they do all day is chant and meditate.
But they do want a piece of CHINA's economic pie.
Ethnic Tibetans are the laziest of CHINA's citizens. They do not want to work, they want to pray all day.
One the one hand they claim that the Central Government is harming Tibet Autonomous Region's environment and committing cultural genocide.
What they do not say is how much care the railroad builders took to build the Qinhai-Tibet railway. So much so that the natural habitat of the Tibetan antelope was not disturbed. Care was also taken that the surrounding plant life were not affected.
The ethnic Tibetans can pray as much as they want. They can practice their Tibetan opera. And in the local schools the kids are taught both the national language and the local Tibetan language.
If they are by nature lazy and they don't wanna do anything all day but pray, than they will continue to live their meager lives.
However, if they eventually want to change and work 12-hour days, take risks by taking out business loans from the bank to start their own businesses that's how one creates economic opportunities and development.
NOT BY ASKING FOR HANDOUTS from the Central Government.
Than they will also be less likely to vandalize, loot, and burn shops and restaurants. And not be jealous of ethnic Han and muslim people.
No matter what anybody or any foreign country says:
Tibet Autonomous Region is and WILL always be part of the People's Republic of China
Nancy, all you can do is copy paste, the exact same comment, word for word right down to use the punctuation, was left on an article title 'Dalai Lama suggests Taiwan 'integrate' with China' a couple of days ago.
I guess these chinese government workers only have limited scripts from which they can from.
This woman got where she was by harrassing the new chinese imigrant in SF for vote. She once told them to vote for her or she will deport them. Kind of like a slave owner don't you think. As for all you Freak Teabag activist. you people must be so rich, even when the US ECN is in a sink hole and large areas of us in flood water, you pip only care about a small percentage of attention grabbing tibetan. Do you know recently there was many suicide attacks in the middle east. One of them kill over sixty people. No, you don't care. you hipocrites. That is what you are. You don't care ethnic violence in kenya which was many way like those between Tibetan and Han, where one group tell another to leave or they will terrorize them. No you don't.
I am just amazed that this site for more than a week has put Free Tibet stories as its main headline. You people really don't care about the economy, the iraq war, the violence in isreal, the violence in kenya, the renewal violence in sudan... Just Tibet Hah. Sure, I am currently taking note of your sponsors. Since this site is probably well founded by various agencies and the free teabag groups, it should not hurt very much if i send the list of your sponsor to some of the popular chinese forums and messageboard, sina, 163, baidu, ifeng. just to name some. Currently, this list is not complete. I have taken notice of Armani exchange, LG, and some minor brand... This is not a threat. Don't bother even try to debate me. Just add blackberry to the list.
Re:'This woman got where she was by harrassing the new chinese imigrant in SF for vote. She once told them to vote for her or she will deport them. '
This, as much as I hate defending Nancy Pelosi, is an outright lie.
RE:'Kind of like a slave owner don't you think.'
In a way, yes. Socialism makes slaves of everyone where it is allowed. We have allowed entirely too much of it here in the US.
RE:'As for all you Freak Teabag activist. you people must be so rich, even when the US ECN is in a sink hole and large areas of us in flood water, you pip only care about a small percentage of attention grabbing tibetan. '
And you are obviously propagandizing and trying to cover up the awful behavior of your government.
RE:'Do you know recently there was many suicide attacks in the middle east. One of them kill over sixty people.'
Of course we do. And, yes, we DO care because many of our own are trapped in that unholy mess.
RE:'No, you don't care. you hipocrites. That is what you are. You don't care ethnic violence in kenya which was many way like those between Tibetan and Han, where one group tell another to leave or they will terrorize them. No you don't.'
Uh-huh. It's China's turn at bat. You guys go in there and straighten Kenya out. Be our guest. We are rather busy at the moment.

Oh, my! Economic threats from the Chinese. Be my guest, Big Boy. Start boycotting right now. It is what you do anyway. You buy from the west just long enough to learn how to make cheap knock-offs and then you stop. Please DO start boycotting us at once. You would be doing us a great favor.

Okay, Nancy. For once, you and I agree about something. Now what? We have all had our say. We have all spoken out about this one particular injustice inflicted on an entire country by the Neo-Monarchists in Peking. So frikkin' what? We still do business with China. We still treat with the Neo-Monarchists as if they are respectable people. What will this accomplish?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Why should it? There are no consequences for the Neo-Monarchists. Sticks and stones, comprende? All of this posing is silly and hypocritical. Why not tell the Tibetans the truth? They need to find another place to establish their culture. Their best option is to migrate elsewhere. WE are NOT going to do ANYTHING that will actually help them. They should be warned that they are marching into a meat grinder. We will cheer them on, of course, but they will still be marching into a meat grinder and we will not even bother to catch what comes out on the other end.
We dangled our testicles between the palms of the Neo-Monarchists ruining China from Peking at the end of the Clinton Era. WE are as helpless and as hapless as the Tibetans. This is what We, and the rest of the world, get for electing cowardly and greedy dumbasses, like George Bush, Dennis Hastert and Nancy Pelosi, to high office.
