You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
GOD bless her little heart and soul.
ReplyDeleteBetter God then Obama
ReplyDeletePlease, this has nothing to do with Obama or politics.
ReplyDeletegood comment
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThe American Olympic gold medalist in women's gymnastics, always an exceptionally "high-profile" sport which historically leads to lucrative advertising endorsements for a champion, is a religious extremist clinging to the Bible (and guns?)
Who knew?!
:-)
Gabby is a great kid. She will rule in Rio!
ReplyDeleteShe won the hearts of all Americans who took the time to watch the Olympics. I hope the youth of the world were tuned into this great phenom. She did us proud.
ReplyDeleteI routed for her for all night and was incredibly proud when she won. Then, the TV announcer reminded me she was an "African-American." I hadn't given it a thought for three hours. She was just an American to me. She's simply fabulous.
ReplyDeleteironpigpen,
ReplyDeleteif ur comment is in jest -u r not funny. if u mean it then u r just an asshole.
GOD bless this little lady. She represents what is good about this country and what we stand for. She is our modern day Jessie Qwens.
Remember when 'role models' were moms and dads? This kid is terrific but I don't want my girls to see an overworked, propably abused gym rat as their role model. For every well-adjusted kid like this there are hundreds seeing 'counselors' due to the inordinate pressure put on them by parents and coaches. What ever happened to the PAL and an afternoon at the "Y"?
ReplyDeleteIt's still there, dude. Still there. Lots of great programs out there for our kids. And for all abilities.

ReplyDeleteway to go gabby !
ReplyDeleteWonderful story for Americans to follow, as with all of the US athletes, and yet Fox News bemoans that she is wearing pink, rather than red, white, and blue saying it is a "kind of soft anti-American feeling that Americans can't show their exceptionalism."
ReplyDeleteI'm fortunate that I do not watch any of the TV shows. If I want to see her, I look for it on Youtube, and then look for a BBC production.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which impressed me the most, her personality or her skills.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOur greatest happiness to this little champion!!!
She replaced my husband on the Kellog's corn flake box and he's very happy for that.
God bless her and much happiness to her & the rest of the USA team.
very good post
