Profiles in Moonbattery: Martina Navratilova
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.

What freedoms did the bitch give up? Not free speech. What? She didn't name one... not a single one.
What an ungrateful low life liberal bitch.

Given the fact that Martina actually lived in a communist country as well as America, I'd say she's much more qualified to make comparative statements regarding the two then any of you are.

But, David Mamet (partially) rejects moonbattery.
What about the role of government? Well, in the abstract, coming from my time and background, I thought it was a rather good thing, but tallying up the ledger in those things which affect me and in those things I observe, I am hard-pressed to see an instance where the intervention of the government led to much beyond sorrow.

Just out of curiosity, how much money do professional female tennis players make in Saudi Arabia? Oh, that's right. And as for professional tennis players for communist countries, how much of their earnings are they allowed to keep?
One of the beauties of our flawed nation is that you can leave anytime you want. And if the millions that she made off American tennis spectators is so tainted, I am sure that charities serving sub-Saharan Africa would welcome those dollars (or euros).

The CBS series Jericho has gone total Moonbat in a big way. Last night they turn the people of Kansas into Iraqi insurgents re-enacting the 2004 incident where Blackwater USA employees bodies were hung. Next week they will move on to Abu Graib/Gitmo. I wouldnt be suprised to see a waterboarding. Glad the ratings are down and the show will be cancelled for good. Last season it was a great show, this season its channeling Michael Moore and Code Pink. Ok, I know Hollyweird is infested with Moonbats, but still... At least Gerald McRaney (the only real conservative on the show) had the sense to quit after season 1 before the series boarded the freight train to Crazy Town.

Crack snacker? Don't you mean a slit slurper? A muffin muncher?

"she's much more qualified to make comparative statements regarding the two then any of you are."
I am so tired of this line of reasoning. Navratilova's statements prove that experience does not equal qualification for valid and sound beliefs.
Since the war started people have been saying that Bush isn't qualified to send people to war because he's never been in a war. I have several liberal friends who are school teachers that say that their opinions are more valid than mine on government vs private or homeschool education simply because they work in the government school system. Hell, I even had somebody tell me they were more qualified to discuss universal healthcare because they drove a van for a medical supply company for a few months in college.
Experience alone does not equal valid opinions. (That's correct, some opinion's actually are not valid despite what we're taught as kids) But here in America as Helsing said you can spout erroneous and anti-American opinions all you want with complete freedom from fear of government persecution. Martina defeated her own argument as she was making it.
I've never lived in a communist country. But I know damn well that it's better to live in a free country like America than old Czechoslovakia. Communism doesn't even work in theory. It's philosophically and practically flawed. It has never worked anywhere...ever. And it never will.

Shut the fuck up you stupid kommie kunt and go boil the clotty scabs outta yer menstrual sponge.

Czeckoslavakia must be a pretty shitty place anyway, seeing how Neville Chamberlaina and Edouard Daladier were so quick to sell it out to Hitler. That was rather difficult for the jewish population in that area also.
I almost feel bad for that poor Martina having to suffer in both of her homelands. Well, maybe not.
As for Hash,
We are all more qualified then her or hash when it comes to educated opinions regarding real life and government.

Navratilova said she feared her sexual orientation might disrupt her application for American citizenship following her defection from Czechoslovakia, a country in which, she points out, "gays were sent to insane asylums and lesbians never came out of the closet."
Hmm, guess it's all cool, now.
She's re-established her Czech nationality, but will she actually leave? Will she give up her American citizenship, or will she continue to lecture us home grown simpletons from her Colorado compound?

The United State of America: where people who DARE speak out against the government live in constant fear of.... being told they are wrong.

FAN, none of these pantywaists and keyboard warriors would survive a week of any sort of real adversity.

Hash survived hell week at cock-sucking school.

LOL!!! UCA, I think, judging by his "homo-erotic comments to Oiao" and his psycho libtard comments about wanting to see us all dead, he may be having a meltdown because he can't find his Village People CDs!!!
