First there was Bryant Gumbel. But has one of our own Olympic athletes also politicized this installment of the Winter Games? In an NBC profile of U.S. champion figure skater Johnny Weir this past week, the flamboyant athlete is shown lying on a couch wearing a red sweatjacket with the decoration of CCCP, the Cyrillic Russian initials of the old USSR [link to video at gawker.com, see note below]. Yes, we have now seen the day when an Olympic athlete, representing the United States, is seen casually wearing a sweatjacket symbolizing the old Soviet Union.
In addition, the taped piece also captured Weir saying the following:
I guess you on the Left should stand up and cheer for this guy....he is doing what all of you do secretly every day. He is bashing the United States, calling Republicans homophobes, and stating is dire love for communism. Do you see how bad he looks doing this? Do you see how bad you on the Left look constantly telling everyone how terrible this country is? Man, these Olympics are depressing....A bunch of cry babies who don't care about winning at the Olympics by their own admission, choke artists who wear other countries clothes....our mortal enemies for years no less..."I know that a lot of people, especially the more Republican-style people, are very afraid of what I mean to the sport and what I’m going to say, what kind of revolutionary, crazy things are going to come out of my mouth. And good for them. They should be scared."
The sad thing is there are people who see nothing wrong with what Jonny Weir says or does...."this is a free country"....
It is, and people how have a sense of pride and decency understand what an ass he is, what an embarrassment he is...
But since many on the Left agree with this guy who is a disgrace to his country, you will be upset and confused by this post.

Nuke him.
Have you finally realized how poor you are your sides arguments are that you have given up?
Well, I'll continue to be a product of a conservative background which means I will continue to be hard working and successful...
While I teach kids who come from a liberal background...which means blame everyone else first, pessimistic, low work ethic, lower education level, less money, less hope, worse future.
