The national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20...
Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US Presidents residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.

For now holding those slots for Cheney and Palin
Schoolkids in America are at least allowed to talk openly about it and the gov’t just stays silent on its role. China has a wonderful fictitious story about how there was a mild bit of suffering as they grew but the worst parts were committed by radicals who in no way played any part in China’s “great” history.
Better choices by far. Keep me in mind for Janitor. its better than living here!
If the PRC flag is there amidst the pageantry of many flags, well, that is only protocol and tradition for a State visit. However, if it takes the place of American flags and is singled out, like the South Lawn is Tiananmen Square, then there is a huge problem.
Likely there will be one of those giant posters of Mao, next to a paired poster of Obama.
May as well leave it up. They own us now.
Of total US debt China holds less than 2%. Guess who's holding by far and away the most?
US Taxpayers.
And unlike the Chinese, we aren't ever going to be paid back.
Just when I thought he couldn’t sink any lower. This despicable commie thug needs to be IMPEACHED!!! This is TREASONOUS! WE HAVE A FLAG ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!! (You know, Obama, the one you removed from your stupid Obama plane during the campaign to make way for your ridiculous O insignia!)
My own great grand dad (x4) Kneeland Taylor fought and died at the Battle of Goliad and my great uncle (x4) Rober Potter signed the Texas Deceleration of Independence and went onto become the first Sec of Texas Navy
They keep pulling this crap. It gets tiring after awhile.

Seems like a tailor made day to fly the Chinese Flag
hat tip:
she knows :)
Yank flag. Brit flag. Yank flag. Brit flag. and so on and and so on
This is even worse since they are holding the ceremony to raise the flag as an emphasis of its dominance over us. It won’t be just in the background to represent a visiting politician.
I wonder if there will be a quid pro quo. The raising of th Chinese flag for denying Sarah Palin entry into Hong Kong.
You think it's the same?
other then a colorful piece of cloth.
The PRC should not receive this honor. It’s a shame.
I’ve been reading “Mao: The Unknown Story” and it’s a really well-researched biography about Mao. They destroy a lot of myths about how the PRC was founded, and how stories of peasant support, etc, were mostly fabricated by Mao after he took full power. He’s revealed in his early years to be a really terrible guy that was simply willing to butcher random citizens in front of large crowds to intimidate towns he took over. Then it seems he got lucky and won support from the Soviets, and the rest was history.
Good catch on birthday date!——Sept. 20-—Van Jones’ birthday and flying of the Chinese flag same day.
