Someone Needs to Forward This to the White House... Mao Murdered 45 Million
You may recall the Obama White House Christmas Tree included mass murderer Mao Tse-Tung ornaments last year. And, no less than two of Obama’s Top Officials have praised Mao Tse-Tung publicly in the past.

Confirmed: Anita Dunn's favorite philosopher is the worst mass murder the world has ever seen
Last year, Anita Dunn, President Obama's former White House Communications Director, said her two favorite political philosophers were Mao Zedong and Mother Theresa. Why she included Mother Theresa when she wasn't a politician or a philosopher I will never understand. But how does she explain Mao Zedong being a favorite philosopher? What could she have possibly liked about his philosophy considering he murdered his own citizens by the millions? I'd also like to know if she would like to...

Starved by Mao, Cannibal China Ate Earth, Robbed Graves: Books
When Julie Nixon Eisenhower met Chairman Mao Zedong in Beijing in 1976, she wore a Mao badge -- and thought it fun. More recently, the Archbishop of Canterbury lamented the loss of a China that, under the chairman, had guaranteed everyones welfare.

Security, rain dampen China protests against Japan
By Chris Buckley and Maxim Duncan Beijing/Shanghai | Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:43am EDT Beijing/Shanghai (Reuters) - About a hundred Chinese Protesters on Saturday demanded Japan free a Chinese boat captain, but tight security and rain deterred a bigger show of anger over an issue that has ratcheted up territorial tensions between the Asian powers.

Chinese hold anti-Japan protests over boat incident on sensitive political anniversary
Beijing -   Beijing (AP) — Protesters in several cities across China marked a politically sensitive anniversary Saturday with anti-Japan chants and banners, as authorities tried to stop anger over a diplomatic spat between the Asian giants from getting out of control.

China -- economic juggernaut, running scared
The country's Communist leadership — it's still a Communist country, remember? — has staked its legitimacy on an implicit bargain: Let us rule, and we'll create good jobs, increase workers' incomes and reduce rural Poverty. But in a nation of 1.3 Billion, with wild extremes of Poverty and wealth, that's harder than it sounds. To keep expansion on an even keel, Economist Fan Gang says, China's economy needs to keep growing by at least 8% a year for the foreseeable future. And to...

Wen did not specify what he meant by reform, but his remarks reflected Beijing's concerns that widespread public unhappiness over rampant Corruption and a lack of transparency and accountability in the government poses a threat to Communist rule. "Without political system reform, reforms in the economic...

From the Pen of David Horowitz, September 18, 2010
Samuel Johnson’s famous scoundrel who finds a last refuge in patriotic fervor has a counterpart in radicals like DeGenova and Foner who cloak their revolutionary agendas in the flag and values they intend to subvert. A generation of American Communists, Paul Robeson among them, rationalized their disloyalty to America (and loyalty to the Soviet Union) as a higher commitment to socialism which would one day transform America itself. By defending Soviet Communism , they were in...

Kerplunk - Common sense from Down Under
Being a major piece of work doesn't make it right, though. Marx was an intelligent man but still manage to bring to life The Communist Manifesto, which brought so much suffering to, especially, people in the 20th century. Like Tolkein, Marx and Keynes invented their own reality and then proceeded to solve all of the problems within it. However, Keynes's reputation suffered a severe blow in the 1970s when major economies around the world went through a period of Stagflation - the combination of...

Bravo as bidder buys a Berlin icon
A MYSTERY telephone bidder bought a piece of history in the form of "Checkpoint Bravo" - once one of the busiest crossing points between East and West Berlin - in an auction yesterday.

Just a Little Genocide
I asked, "well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill." Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and...

Alert Maddow! Dem Staffers Hoist Nazi Signs of Beck and Palin
It seems to me that the truth ought to be a defense against any charge of Racism or slander. You shouldn’t be able to generate outrage over the fact that person A calls person B a Communist, for instance, if person B is on record identifying them-self as a Communist. And yet that’s partly what Rachel Maddow does in her extremely lame attempt to prove that Fox News in general [...] Video: Anita Dunn on the War on Fox This was reported Friday, but the video wasn’t broadcast...
