I bet you would get a Thumbs up from Obama supporters on the Red Hat and Get your car keyed for the other
I always thought Zero was a flaming a*****e. Now I’m sure.
You would be hard pressed to find a communist in China these days. Everyone has a racket.
Either you get thumbs up from some guy with wide grin or get pelted by a guy with an outburst of his life, yelling all obscenities imaginable.
There will be no middle ground. U.S. is in political war.

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up capitalism!"
Hey, that burning man Obama would make a nifty Christmas decoration.
“This is simply not true. In fact, the government has tried to move away from the “cult of Mao.” As an instructor in one of the bigger universities in China, I find that the majority of my students do not think much of or about Mao. Most realize the bad things he did because their parents took the brunt of his evil during the Cultural Revolution. If anything, the government would love to sweep Mao under the rug and forget he ever existed - they are painfully aware of the evil he did to the Chinese people.”
That’s an interesting contrast to my admittedly very limited experience on the issue. I’m hosting an exchange student from Beijing this year. We’ve watched some big Chinese extravaganzas on TV together and I’ve gently probed about the big pictures of Mao in the parades. The general impression is that he thinks Mao is a kind of fuzzily great man, with no real specifics.
I’ve mentioned the Cultural Revolution and Madame Mao to him a couple of times and it’s pretty clear those are vaguely familiar terms from “ancient history” with no information content attached to them at all—about the same level of information you might expect out of an American High School student about the hard money-soft money disputes of the late 19th century in America.
He’s a bright 16 year old competing hard to get into one of the good Universities there. Maybe you will be his prof someday :)
We have quite a few of his Chinese friends over (also exchange students on the same program). Pretty much the same. And some of them are pretty outspoken. But their principal strong opinion is that they have to work way too hard in China as students and that the competition to get into the good Universities is way too brutal.
In particular, they really like the “high-school-students-goof-off-most-of-the-time” system we have in America. As their American compatriots (and as the year goes along, the Chinese students) would say, “Duh.”
