RED FLAG TO FLY OVER WHITE HOUSE
By Chuck Baldwin September 9, 2009 NewsWithViews.com
Lest anyone doubt the communist leanings of President Barack Obama, look no further than to his decision to hoist the Red Chinese flag (for the first time in history) over the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, September 20.
According to China Daily, "Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President's residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC [People's Republic of China] . . .
"More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
"Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people."
Trying to find words to describe the extreme offensiveness of flying the Communist Chinese flag over the White House challenges my vocabulary. Words such as UNBELIEVABLE, UNREAL, HORRIFIC, OBSCENE, even TRAITOROUS quickly come to mind. Maybe Obama really is the Manchurian Candidate.
Remember, the communist leaders of Mao's China are not called the "Butchers of Beijing" for nothing. Since seizing power in 1949, it is estimated that the communist government in China has murdered more than 50 million people (some reports say the number is over 70 million). As many as 3 million were killed in Mao's initial revolution.
The historical record of Mao's murderous march to power staggers the imagination. According to Chinese historian Jung Chang, from 1958-1961, 38 million Chinese people were starved or worked to death, and 27 million died in Laogai death camps through 1976. The Weekly Standard quotes Chinese freedom fighter Harry Wu as saying that 15 million died in China's labor camps through 1997. According to Agence France Presse, as many as 5 million were killed in rural purges from 1946-1949, and 1 million were killed in urban purges through 1957.
Then there is Tiananmen Square in 1989, when the Communist Chinese army murdered more than 2,000 college students. The number first reported by Chinese officials was 2,600, but then was quickly retracted. Early American estimates put the number at more than 3,000. The true number of deaths will likely never be known.
But let's bring the discussion closer to home. Does the name Chosin Reservoir mean anything to anyone? Obviously, the name doesn't mean anything to President Barack Obama. However, that name means much to the tens of thousands of American families who lost husbands, sons, and fathers there.
By mid-1950, the Korean conflict was all but over. U.S. Army and Marine forces had handily defeated the North Korean army. It looked realistic that our fighting men would be home by Christmas. But from October of that year, more than 60,000 communist troops from China crossed the border into North Korea. During the next two months, the invading communist forces killed more than 4,000 American troops. Of course, China's involvement in the conflict ensured a long, protracted war that resulted in the deaths of more than 50,000 brave Americans. And, of course, don't forget that Communist China also helped the Communist North Vietnamese kill more than 50,000 U.S. soldiers and Marines.
Now President Barack Obama is going to hoist the Communist Chinese flag above the White House to "celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC."
This is the same PRC that murdered 50-70 million of its own people. This is the same PRC that murdered thousands of Chinese students at Tiananmen Square. This is the same PRC that sent tens of thousands of troops to kill American soldiers and Marines in North Korea and Vietnam. This is the same PRC that yet today persecutes, imprisons, tortures, and kills Christians, Buddhists, and other people of faith. This is the PRC that still operates torture chambers, labor camps, and death squads. This is the same PRC that demands that Chinese families have no more than one child: meaning death to children where there is already a sibling present in the home. This is the same PRC that Obama wants to "celebrate" by flying its flag above the White House.
Why is the mainstream press not all over this story? Where is the outrage by veterans' organizations (especially Korean War veterans)? Where is the national VFW? Where is the American Legion? Where is John Murtha? Where is John Kerry? Where is John McCain?
Perhaps one blogger summed it up the best. He said, "It can now be official--leave the [Chinese] flag there." His point is well taken.
China already owns more U.S. debt than any other entity. America's politicians from both parties have superintended over the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs and factories to (mostly) China. America's business elite at the Chamber of Commerce has willingly traded U.S. business interests to China at unprecedented and dangerous levels. Major banking institutions have enthusiastically orchestrated the commercial and financial buildup of Communist China. America's military and political leadership have even helped augment Red China's military apparatus.
"Made in China" labels appear on almost everything we buy today; perhaps it is appropriate that the Red flag flies over the White House. While we're at it, let's hoist the Red flag over the newsrooms of many of America's newspapers; the headquarters of ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN; most of the political science classrooms at America's major colleges and universities; many of our mainline "Christian" denominations; the boardrooms of many major U.S. corporations; and also over many of the smoke-filled parlors of Big Labor. In the end, they all seem to be colored a pale shade of red these days.
Hope someone gets a picture
And did we call the White HOuse and our Representatives and say NO?
I think this was noted as “untrue” the other day...There will be no commie flag hoisted...
Is he going to have Geithner, Bernanke, and the CEOs of the major Wall Street Banks gather under the Red Chinese flag and say the (slightly altered) ‘Pledge of Allegiance’??
Thanks! Don’t know what/who to believe anymore.
George Washington, Ronald Reagan are rolling around in their graves now.
Obama loves Russia and China and Iran and shows blatant disdain for our allies.
And I’m noticing by the ridiculous defensiveness of liberals on my facebook and at school that they will do anything and everything to uplift this man. They will contort into shapes previously unknown to man to justify what he is doing because deep down they don’t think it will harm them. Obama wouldn’t do anything to harm them! Or if he does, it’s for their own good.
That last line (is a quote mind you) makes me think they needed a good Daddy to do a lot more of ‘for their own good’ so they don’t hang on to morons to get that part of their childhood they lost.
Just an observation.
I no longer have words to thrust at uhbama-he is horrific in every way.
Its bad enough that a commie has been hoisted.
I need no flag to demonstrate to me there’s a red flag over the White House...actions speak much louder than symbolism.

sounds like another half-truth to me.
close enough....

A poster said that area is owned by the National Forest Service.
A diplomatic ceremony Recognizing the 60th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. The day the Red Communists took control.
THIS IS high treason.
Our enemies like China and Russia are NOT our friends.
Our friends were the people who would have been helped by the Missile Shield. The commies are in power. No doubts.
But they are NOT in control of America....yet.
Sadly, they own us.
There were several stories earlier saying that he planned to do this. Perhaps he “reset” the option after getting flak over it. It wouldn’t be the first time.
