Outrage: Red Chinese flag to be flown on September 20 at the White House. (anyone able to organize a protest?)
Flags Flying at the White House, but Whose? by Ann Shibler | John Birch Society 03 September 2009 http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5302
The People’s Republic of China is celebrating 60 years of hard core communism ... by raising the flag of that communist country on the south lawn of the White House on September 20.
Well, that is what two Chinese sources are reporting. China Daily reported - http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2009-07/13/content_8422505.htm — apparently unnoticed until last week — that the Fujian Association had applied to the White House for permission to hold a celebration to honor the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and to hoist that country’s red flag on the south lawn of the White House.
Chen Ronghua, a Spokesman for the Fujian Association, said that permission was approved because of closer China-U.S. relations in recent years. And because, “Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing’s Olympics,” he said.
Also involved in the celebration are the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations and the coordination Council of Chinese-American Associations. The ceremony is to be hosted by other “overseas Chinese organizations,” according to the Chinese publication Global Times -

Approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend the flag-raising ceremony. ... Veterans and other patriotic groups should be adamantly opposed to any plan to hoist a communist flag over American soil. Many placed their lives on the line, fighting and witnessing the utter brutality of communist regimes in Russia, Korea, North Vietnam — all of whom are supported by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists. Today, the human rights record inside China is as dismal as they come. Their murderously enforced one-child family policy is an abomination as well. But all this matters not to the White House.
“It was always my dream to raise a Chinese flag in the center of Washington, D.C.," says Chen Ronghua. “This year, my motherland’s 60th birthday, is the perfect time for it.”

*shakeshead*
Sheesh. Every single day this bonehead does something boneheaded.
Yes but the blowback is something incredible to see.
Ping.
I can’t even comprehend this..how many other countries have had their flag fly at the White House..let alone a Communist country with human rights violations.
This thread needs a double facepalm graphic
This is satire, right?
Thanks for the heads up Jet Jaguar
The list, ping
Intentionally done I am sure.
The Dem's and this POS in the Whitehouse are giving the finger to the American people.
According this this article from 1987, every country that sends a leader to visit the president at the White House gets this treatment. The article mentions the Soviet flag flying at the White House when both Brezhnev and Gorbachev visited.
LOL!
It is not boneheadedness on his part — it is an intentional act of spitting in America’s face.
Be ready for the Saudi flag to be flown at the WH, and then all flags from Muslim countries. Aren’t we the largest Muslim country?
Well, they are the most favored nation. I can’t stand china.
Uugh
please say it is!!
Call the White House and demand this not happen! 1-202-456-1414
The U.N. page has removed the American Flag too!
I blogged about this subject matter in July and at that time, this event was not on the WH calendar. Might be time to check again...

I will check this link out. I was wondering if this had been done before and if so under what circumstances. This is the first time for China though and to celebrate their founding? This does not sound like something that is traditional or right!
LOL! I haven’t seen that ‘demotovational’ before. LOL!

A CHINESE FLAG FLYING ON THE LAWN OF THE WHITE HOUSE?????
OH HELL NO!!!
Apparently it is a White House/State Department tradition for the White House to fly the flags of foreign countries when their leaders visit. The upcoming event seems to be going a little beyond that tradition.
It seems clear from the second picture in #25 that we have been going out of our way to bend over for the PRC. No doubt this has something to do with the money they have loaned us.
I guess one’s largest creditor can do a lot of things one doesn’t like. It’s a d@3n shame we’ve allowed this nation to get into this deep a mess.
