Hong Kong Protesters Sing The American National Anthem
Daily Caller ^ | August 14, 2019 | Davis

Posted on 08/14/2019 8:11:49 AM PDT by george76

While America faces some turmoil at home, the nation is still being represented as a symbol of freedom across the globe.

Protesters in Hong Kong are singing the U.S. national anthem and flying American flags as they protest oppression under China’s Communist Party. Specifically, protesters are outraged about China’s new extradition laws, which weaken Hong Kong’s sovereignty and gives the communist party more power over the people.

Couldn’t we arm them or get someone to help them with an underground setup? Through a third party of course. As we have done hundreds of times.

They are NOT ‘taking a knee’. They are taking a stand. We Americans of today may need to pay attention, and re-learn from those in Hong Kong just what it takes to secure one’s independence. All of us living today are reaping the benefits of other folk’s sacrifice. A few of us are active warriors now, or active duty, but very, very few of us.

Partner, the Aussies found it and the British along with the Aussies built this nation of Hong Kong and not the ChiComs. Jimmah Carter caved in with the Chicoms when we came to an agreement with the Brits on when we would revert Hong Kong back to the Chicoms country. Hong Kong was already one of the financial centers of the world. Jimmah Carter made me a Republican since we was worthless as our POTUS.

The sad part is the Chicoms are getting Hong Kong for free without paying a cent for the growth of Hong Kong as one of the financial centers of the world.

We do not hear a thing from the "Giant Sixth Grade Brain Journalist" and activists about Hong Kong and the fact the Chicoms are getting this financial center for free.

The well to do folks in Hong Kong will leave immediately to Vancouver, Canada if they have not already.

No, but should it provide shame to all the politicians, which is probably nearly all of them, that sold out US manufacturing and continue to do so - for THIS regime?

Really? Here in Canada our political elites are the hand maidens of the ChiComs, say THEY are not losing any tears. I am actually surprised Google is trying to hush things up for their paymasters for the ChiCom government.

Apparently, democrats and chicoms aren't the only ones who don't like that.

Britain should never have given Hong Kong to China. Just Like Jimmah shouldn’t have released the Panama Canal Zone back

Offer refugee status to their businessmen, their Masters and PHDs and any other elite who can make Hong Kong happen here. Immediately. In one fell swoop we could drain China of major economic brain power and make Hong Kong just another piece of real estate with diminishing value.

That may have signed their death warrant.

Of course the Deep State desperately wants a war. They tried Syria and Iran, so I wouldn’t be surprised they are in this.

The song “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord” has been taken up as one of their favorite protest songs.

Boy you never came across to me as a miserable #### :)

Maybe you’re just having a bad night.

But I don’t think so man.

That was a post by one of the most miserable human beings around that I have read in a while :)

Kinda shocked.

Oh well.

How about we swap those people who love America and freedom for the people who want to impose communism here?

That would be the entire hierarchy of the Democratic party along with a few million illegal voters.

;o]

As if this would convince me to send our precious sons and daughters into war to free them. Rather, I say we offer their best a free ticket here. Let’s bring in the best and brightest over here before the Chinese can react to it. Hurt the Chinese brain power-wise, avoid a conflict and maybe we can save a few.

How long have these people had to get out over twenty years Hong Kong being to China. Seems like stupid greedy people who ignored the obvious - China is evil and you’re on their land and have made the property quite valuable. Easy for me to say I don’t live there

Waving our flag and singing our anthem?

Impossible.

America is the most awful, racist, white supremacist country that's ever existed.

Oh...and Trump is a Hitler / white supremacist / Nazi.

"How long have these people had to get out over twenty years Hong Kong being to China."

Hong Kong has a history of protesting outside rule.

The latest manifestation is the largest because the stakes were raised due to the "proposed" extradition bill.

Since they are part of China, they can't "get out" without an actual war for independence...which isn't going to happen. However, their sense of urgency regarding their tenuous grip on somewhat limited freedoms has escalated.

Their best hope at the moment, is to stall the communist full takeover of their semi-autonomous region until the "planed" takeover in 2047 which is when, if nothing very drastic happens, they WILL become a full part of communist china.
