Is it must me or does it seem that our nation has been paying a lot of homage to a hostile communist government lately?

I’m talking about the communist Chinese government, of course.

You probably heard about the incident about a week ago when the flag of communist China was raised in Washington D.C. just below the White House at The Ellipse to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the communist takeover of China (and the more than 65 million killed in this glorious revolution of “the people”).

Well, actually you probably didn’t hear about that, since our “mainstream” media is very sympathetic to Marxism and they undoubtedly feared ignorant rubes like you and me would “misunderstand” the flying of this communist flag in the heart of America’s capitol.

But word did slip out a little, and WorldNetDaily and The Land of the Free talked about it.

From The Land of the Free:

When news of this event got out on the web and talk radio, there was an intense backlash. ALIPAC’s repeated calls to the White House information offices, as well as calls from bloggers and talk radio show hosts went unanswered.

Then the Obama administration told a news source that the rumors were unfounded and just another example of how the Internet misleads people. They failed to mention that the Chines flag raising ceremony was indeed a reality.

Here you can see the video of the Chinese communist flag being raised in Washington, DC with much fanfare and expense. It is being raised to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the communist takeover of China in 1949. In 1949, communist dictator Mao Zedong placed almost 1 billion people under the slavery of communism and forced American ally Chiang Kai-shek into exile in Taiwan.

China Daily also covered this symbolic coup and raising of a communist flag in our nation’s capital:

An eye-catching flag-raising activity will also be staged in the park, a tradition for minority groups in the US to honor their countries at native festivals. Both the Chinese national flag and the American Flag will be raised during the ceremony. This will mark the first time the Chinese diaspora hoists the Five-Star Red Flag, their national symbol, on such an occasion in Washington DC.

How encouraging it must be for communist thugs and dictators to see the flag of their brutality raised in the heart of the beacon of freedom in the world (or should I say, “former beacon of freedom).

Now I hear the historic Empire State Building in New York will light up red and yellow today in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.

From AFP:

New York’s iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.

The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People’s Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.

What in the world has happened to America, when we celebrate the anniversary of the communist takeover of a nation? What has happened to the last best hope for freedom in the world when we join communist thugs in celebration over the deaths of millions of people crushed under the brutal heel of Marxist revolution?

And I’m sure this sudden infatuation with communist anniversaries has nothing to do with the fact that the President of the United States is infatuated with Marxism.  Nothing at all…
