Really? They showed Iran here. Nothing much happened; USA got a warm cheer thoughJimmyeatworld said:It was on late, but I caught some of the team introductions. I was curious to see the reaction Iran got, but NBC conviently went to commercial before they were introduced.
Not a big winter Olympics guy, but I do like to watch some of the hockey, and the skiing can be interesting.

Pajamas Media now has a special blog--PJ Gold Rush--set up for Olympics coverage.
Personally, I don't know if it's accurate to say I "care" about figure skating, but I will be watching
We are the best for a reason--Americans are used to earning what they have. We embrace competition and personal excellence. Are athletes do well because they want to, not because their nation threatens them if they don't.
We live in a world that repeatedly tells Americans to tone down our pride for our nation. We are told to contain our potential, to not be overtly illustrative of our excitement for ourselves and our nation. I say--hogwash! To ignore or dismiss our achievements and greatness is meant to have the affect of wiping it away, of ultimately making us unsure of who and what we are. Making Americans afraid to think honestly about our greatness is indeed an effort to politically lobotomize us.
Why? Because if a nation's past, greatness, and heroes are killed, the nation itself disappears. We would also begin to think that we are just like everyone else--and then moral equalivalency sets in. Corrupt and depraved nations prefer the just and great to not see themselves honestly, specifically because then there would be no counterpoint to understand the differences between good and bad.
So, all in all, let the Olympics once again be an example of American greatness for so many different reasons--because Americans are happy, healthy, and good people. Because we embrace the individual and raise up the special and talented. Because we are a nation worthy of greatness, because we are compassionate and good.
Our Olympians represent the success freedom brings. Wish them all luck and every time the anthem is played, put your hand over your heart, and thank God for the blessing of being an American.
Go USA!!
