NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City's Empire State Building said "yes" to Mariah Carey, dog shows, cancer charities - and even the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

But the landmark skyscraper's owners have declined to illuminate it in honor of the late Mother Teresa.

we covered this a week or so ago, no?

Now worries. There was a Mass for her at St. Pat's last night. And relics, too, I'm told (though I didn't attend).

Mao Takes Manhattan: Empire State Building Goes Red and Yellow for China
September 30, 2009

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China under Communist rule and Mao's 1949 revolution, the Chinese will hold a military parade in Beijing on Thursday of unparalleled size -- 5,000 soldiers, 43,000 fireworks and a display of 52 new weapons -- followed by a civilian parade of 100,000 marchers and 60 floats, many chanting new nationalistic mantras coined by the Chinese government for the occasion.

For a nation that worships Mao, and the path of development and prosperity the Chinese people believe he charted, nothing less would do to commemorate its 60th anniversary.

But when it comes to the commemoration of China's 60th anniversary in the U.S., perhaps we could -- and should -- expect a little less.

Wednesday night in New York City, the Empire State Building will illumine its familiar spire with red and yellow lights in honor of Communist China. The Communism-themed color scheme will stay lit through Thursday night, much to the delight of China's consular officials, who were on hand for a ceremony in the lobby of the iconic building Wednesday morning, and to the acute dismay of the dozen or so protesters outside, and to many Americans who question whether honoring China's Communist revolution here is at all appropriate.

Empire State Building Goes Red for Communist China, Sparking Protest

NEW YORK — New York is seeing red over the decision to turn the city's highest beacon — and one of America's symbols for free enterprise — into a shining monument honoring China's communist revolution Wednesday night.

anti-CHRISTIAN???? Yes.

[Free ThinkerNY]

Thank you, ETL for all that great info.

[ETL]

anti-CHRISTIAN????

Anti-Humanitarian. Pro-mass murder.

[Jeff Chandler]

Yep. Mao is responsible for Boomers’ mothers saying, “Eat your dinner, children are starving in China.”

You're welcome. Thanks for posting the thread.

Perhaps Obama's former communications director can still work this out. After all, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa are her two "favorite philosophers".

Here's Obama's communications director, Anita Dunn, praising mass-murderer Mao Tse Tung and his communist revolution before an audience of **graduating high-schoolers**! (St. Andrews Episcopal school at the Washington National Cathedral). A video link is provided at the end of this post.

Anita Dunn: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.

"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'

"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."..."

[The following is NOT from Anita Dunn. It's from the author of the linked CNS News article...]

Policies implemented under Mao Tse Tung, including the civil war, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and persecution in Tibet, among other policies, led to death of an estimated 65 million people, according to The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press), which is considered by scholars as one of the best sources on communist atrocities.

Mao also outlawed religion and sent at least 2.5 million people to “re-education camps,” called “laogai,” which were similar to the slave-labor camps in the Gulag of the Soviet Union. An estimated 1,000 laogai reportedly are still in operation today

Anti-CHRISTIAN.

Mother Theresa doesn’t need your stinking building lit up. She’s got her crown in heaven.

[eleni121]

Mr Malkin and those like him think money. It’s about money. It’s not about what’s right.

These are peopole how have sold their souls...

[marygam]

Sad state of affairs. One day they will be judged.

[Cheryllynn]

Mother could care less.

[Melchior]

Peter Malkin, who was, and I believe still is, the Empire State Building principle owner, is a liberal New Jersey Jew. No surprise. However, he is no relation to the Peter Malkin of the Mossad who was responsible for the capture of Adolph Eichmann in Argentina. The greedy bum and the self-effacing hero, quite a contrast.

[Just Lori]

THAT’S for sure!

[eleni121]

Of course. Sheer selfish Greed not tempered by the Lord’s humility comes in all shapes creeds and ethnicities.

[Godwin1]

Liberal Jews despise Christians. And they often have the power to impose their bigotry. Unfortunate.
