Comments on: Lance Armstrong: Not a good guy

I’m surprised that there is concern about whether or not Lance was sorry. This is like the bogus “hate crime” complaint. If someone commits a crime, why does it matter why they did it. As for contrition, who cares? He admitted he was guilty. He would be no less guilty if he was sorry. I hold Lance more responsible for the way he trashed his critics. That was really his evil deed. Then again, he also founded his Livestrong foundation which did a lot of good.

My feeling is that Lance Armstrong did some bad and some good, but is no where near as bad as many other hypocrites (and politicians).

Who wants to admit to wrong doing? What child for that matter- forget politicians- in a heated situation where punishment may be severe will confess to being responsible?

Indeed, the further we get from morals and God, the closer we get to the assinine ideas of moral relativism that are plain wrong and illogical.

Wrong is wrong. No matter who does it. The seriousness of the forum does not make it more or less right. Evil is evil. Now, am I saying that Lance Armstrong is akin to Hitler? Ofcourse not.

But oh, what a slippery slope it becomes to attempt to qualify and quantify evil as, “but this is just a little evil, so it’s ok”.

What disturbs me most about these professional athletes/ drug users (and a large percentage are), is that they are so adamant that “a trainer made me do it”, or “it was in my vitamins”, or “I must have been sleeping”, and will even go so far as to lie under oath…UNDER OATH (not depending on your definition of the word ‘is’ is) to protect themselves.

Why? Solely for money. To protect their cash stream of lies.

You don’t care about drug cheats? How about the New England Patriots and Spygate? Is that ok? Why or why not? What is cheating, exactly? Why do you feel that cheating with drugs designed to enhance human performance is ok, yet other forms of cheating are not? I would be so much happier, and not so judgmental if they all just came clean and were honest with their drug use. Don’t deny it. Tell all. From the start. If the athletes from all sports explained the business. Explained the demands placed on the human body. How HGH helps with recuperation and works in conjunction with testosterone to build muscle mass and decrease bodyfat.

I think that all people would cease looking at sports as entertainment, and begin to wonder why they are wasting their time to fuel walking pharmacy labs.

What about the sponsors? NIKE? The United States Postal Service? Don’t they deserve some respect? This isn’t just Armstrong. His actions have defamed his sponsors. Forever tarnished.

What has happened to our culture? Sure, we all probably know the story of the 1919 Black Sox. Pete Rose. These were the exceptions. As time has gone on, these exceptions have become the norm. The steroid era in baseball has forever ruined a game that once defined America. Once apple pie, now syringes and creams.

BALCO. The Olympics. NFL, NHL, NBA. Baseball. All drugged. Looking at our female olympic team, and seeing cro-magnon jaw line and foreheads on 14 year old girls, and you know something ain’t right. NFL lineman, who 20 years ago were topping 280 lbs, now at 320+ AND being able to run FASTER!!! Not training. D-r-u-g-s. NFL safeties (Yeremiah Bell and Lavon Landry) tweeting offseason pictures looking like Mr. Olympia’s rather than defensive backs.

If the athletes were honest from the start, I’d have less of a problem and a real discussion could take place. But to dismiss this as nothing more than misplaced blame, is foolish at best.

What is the obsession with sports “heros” on GBTV lately? The Pat and Stu show has almost become like ESPN lately.

The only thing Lance did that was wrong was lie about using steroids, testosterone, and blood transfusions. If he would of been upfront about taking those meds for hormone replacement therapy after having one or was it both I forget of his testies removed because of the testicular cancer then challenged the cycling communities governing body he would of won since the American With Disabilities Act would of protected him atleast in the USA and the sanctioning body would of been put on defense for discrimination.

I wonder what incentive any of these guys have to come forward and tell the truth. They are demonized as cheaters. Then when they come forward and admit what they did they are demonized as liars, with everyone opining about whether or not they are really sorry enough, showing enough contrition, etc. I think most who took PEDs felt that they were simply meeting the competition. If it wasn’t so pervasive it would be a bigger deal. I think the bigger problem for Armstrong is the way he treated people. Armstrong did a lot for bicycling and has done a lot of good work for people fighting cancer. He’s paying the price for what he’s done, but what about all the others who did the same thing and didn’t get caught? The same goes for the baseball players who used but were never targeted like Clemens and Bonds. There’s something unfair about the whole scenario.

Glenn, I wish I could say anything concerning this guy is news, it isn’t! I also wish I knew who Honey Booboo is so I could say report something about her instead.

Speaking of CONTROL I want to know why THE BLAZE is now censoring information that can only but help people in understanding what is going on in this country. If anyone personally knows Glenn Beck please ask him I am a subscriber, went to Restoring Honor and have always been respectful of every other person commenting and I get censored!

I have been posting links to Agenda: Grinding America Down – Curtis
Bower’s masterful documentary on who and what is driving this culture
in a direction designed to destroy it.
Give this movie 5 minutes and you won’t be able to walk away – its that good. I have seen it 12X to absorb all that is in it…
https://vimeo.com/52009124

Watch it. Share it. Arrange a showing in church, groups, clubs, with friends
or family. Everyone who loves America needs to see this movie,

It is free on line for the moment

https://vimeo.com/52009124

If America goes down, the free world will go down with it and it will be
finished for a very, very long time…

No Conspiracies. Just Facts.

I saw this movie over a
year ago from a church where less then 100 viewed it. Bower’s put it on
Vimeo.com full length for free and I believe if everyone who loves the
America of our Founders had viewed it we would have had a different
outcome in the last election. I have posted the link to Agenda wherever I
could. I get people thanking me for it. If there is someone who is not
up to speed this movie in 1 and half hours will get them there. I had
watched Glenn on FOX and he covered a lot of this, but not as
succinctly. Bowers connects all the dots for how Obama waltzed into the
White House. I spend hours a day trying to make others aware of Agenda. I
also don’t know why Glenn never had Curtis Bowers on his program to
talk about it and promote it. He promoted 2016 and 2016 just scratches
the surface of how big a threat Obama and the liberal progressive
socialist/communists are.
And SHAME ON BLAZE for censoring this!
