Profiles in Moonbattery: Martina Navratilova
Posted by Dave Blount at March 11, 2008 9:32 PM
Apparently whacking around a tennis ball isn't the best preparation for a second career in comparative politics. Martina Navratilova escaped the communist hellhole Czechoslovakia at age 18. Like so many before and after her, she was welcomed by America with open arms. Exchanging slavery for freedom, she became rich and famous beyond the wildest dreams of anyone left behind the Iron Curtain.
Unfortunately the great bounty bestowed by America can spoil people rotten — even people who know firsthand that the rest of the world isn't so lucky. The loudly lesbian Navratilova now wants us to know that she is ashamed of America because she doesn't like President Bush.
Here's what she's telling folks back in the Czech Republic, which would still be part of the slave state Czechoslovakia if not for America:
The thing is that we elected Bush. That is worse. Against that, nobody chose a communist government in Czechoslovakia.
Back in 2002, she was screeching to the receptive German media:
The most absurd part of my escape from the unjust system is that I have exchanged one system that suppresses free opinion for another.
I won't bother to explain the difference between a totalitarian regime that imprisons, tortures, and kills dissidents and America, where even an obnoxious moron like Navratilova can get her abhorrent opinions plastered across the news.
Navratilova has reestablished her Czech nationality. The nicest thing I can think of to say to her is: You made your fortune, lady. Now get the hell out.
