The 2016 Olympic games isn’t about GOP, DEM, Conservative, or Liberal. The fringe element in our country and the media continually tries to stir up a controversial story very often where none exists. Good case in point is Sam Stein of The Huffington Post with his "Conservatives Revel In Obama's Olympic Bid Failure" who hop-scotches through the week of news items of the week and conveniently ties them all together in a disconnected plot by conservatives and Republicans to discredit President Obama. I promise you Mr. Stein, neither you or the Huffington Post speak for me, a non-party affiliated conservative, or even come close to the whole truth in what you write. Then you quote some of the input from RedState’s Erick Erickson, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, and others as if their point of view should be a surprise to anyone accept it helps give your drivel credibility. Then there is Roland Martin, a CNN contributor, who had an opinion in his commentary that addresses all the patriotic Americans that may not share his one-dimensional views as "Republicans" "so-called patriots" "giddy behavior". Martin challenges American patriotism because of an individual’s views and trying to shame them because they differ from his own. Martin’s own opinion is hypocritical because he clearly puts everyone on notice by stating that: "This isn’t about politics." "It’s not about ideology." Then what is it about Roland? You mentioned Republican! You made it political! Your view of what it takes to be an American patriot is ideology, is it not? What if I said, Roland more than a year before you even poked your head into this world I was in Vietnam fighting for my country, and unless you even fought in a later war you are in no position to utter the words Patriot! That’s not fair is it? To revel in the loss of being selected to host the Olympics or to label and politicize the events of the week I ask you, who is the lesser fool?
