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.

They need to read this…

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.

Dear God.
Speaking at The Independent Woodstock Literary Festival, Frank Diktter, a Hong Kong-based historian, said he found that during the time that Mao was enforcing the Great Leap Forward in 1958, in an effort to catch up with The Economy of the Western world, he was responsible for overseeing "one of the worst catastrophes the world has ever known".

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.
Under a steady downpour, the Protesters, mostly in their 20s gathered in front of the Japanese Embassy in Beijing and held placards and yelled slogans...

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...

Beijing
— Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has urged officials to obey the law and fight Corruption in an effort to further political reform he said was necessary for the country's success.
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.

Sweden's center-right govt seeks re-election, far-right party seeks 1st seats in Parliament
Stockholm (AP) — Swedes voted for a new Parliament on Sunday, with the center-right government seeking a historic Second Term and an Islam-bashing Far-right group trying to thwart it.
Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt's ruling coalition, led by his Alliance for Sweden party, has been boosted by popular Tax Cuts and healthy public finances that stand out in Debt-ridden Europe , and polls suggest a clear victory over the Social Democrat-led opposition in the 349-seat legislature.

Powerful typhoon knocks out power, transportation in Taiwan; 6,000 flee mountains
Taipei, Taiwan
— A powerful Typhoon ripped into Taiwan on Sunday, crippling transportation around the island and shutting off power as thousands of residents fled mountainous areas prone to devastating landslides.
Typhoon Fanapi was the first major Storm to strike the island this year and was forecast to move into eastern China early Monday. It made landfall in Taiwan's eastern city of Hualien at 8:40 a.m. (0040 GMT) with winds of 102 mph (162 kph). By afternoon its winds had weakened to...
Chinese protest against Japan is small but heated
Reporting from Beijing —
Dozens of Chinese demonstrators rallied outside the Japanese Embassy, then marched through the rain-slicked streets to the Foreign Ministry on Saturday, belting out the National Anthem and hollering nationalistic slogans against "foreigners" and the Japanese to Protest the detention of a Chinese fishing crew.
A demonstration of any kind is rare in this tightly controlled nation, and Saturday's Protest was a deliberately understated affair. The marchers were...
End of Cuba's Communist Economy: Global Implications
An excess of over one million seats in the financial Bureaucracy!!! That’s amazing, and it shows what happens — what MUST happen — in Socialist economies. That’s the mathematics of socialism. I happened to attend the huge CeBIT computer conference in Hannover, Germany, in spring, 1990, just after the Berlin Wall fell. With the border open, for the first time large numbers of East Germans were permitted to visit the show, and the culture shock was enormous for both sides....

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...
Cal Thomas Hits a New Low (if That Is Possible)
For years, Cal Thomas has been giving us his Theocon message (Thanks, Lew, for that term) of Police State at home and invasions abroad. Oh, I know he once wrote a book that James Dobson didn’t like in which Thomas said that politics was not the ultimate Christian goal, but basically the message we get from Thomas is this: The Right-Wing American State is worthy of worship.
In a recent column Thomas looks at Cuba’s recent decision to lay off Government workers and create more private...
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...
Sweden's welfare state at heart of final election debate
The future of Sweden's famous Welfare State was a central theme when the country's main political Party chiefs met late Friday for a final televised election debate.
The Hottest issue leading up to Sunday's general Elections -- the Far-right Sweden Democrats expected entrance into parliament and possible role as kingmakers after the vote -- was meanwhile barely touched upon in the debate.
