Peoples Republic of NY?

I see that the Empire State Building will be illuminated red and yellow tonight to honor the 60th anniversary of the commie takeover of China. How can this be? Are there no New Yorkers fighting this embarrassing display? The building's managers say they have honored many of countries, including Canada, India and Australia. But Red China?????

Don't know about you but they are this side of the world's BIGGEST trading partners and own the paper on a very large part of the debt NA has out there.

It's not as if they do not exist

[GaryG]

Maybe Barry Hussein made a deal to do this in exchange for the stimulation money. Is this like owing your soul to the company store?

[ddog]

They own it , they can have it any color they wish.

Long live CHinaMart - All hail ChinaMart.

Long since past the point of importance.

This place had serious issues, now just foolish rantings and disasters.

Live long and prosper Chimerika!

All hail Comrade Leader OHHHHHHHHBAMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

And the world is so much more of a better place to live because of China, isn't it? :rolleyes: You'd fit right in over there. When are you leaving?

He'll be on the next "slow boat to China" that leaves Vancouver. :D

I have that sinking feeling that that boat would be soooo slow that he'd never arrive to his destination and get to extol to us all the many virtues of communism from a new and fresh perspective from his new home under a very different flag. We'd still be cursed with his domestic-generated commie-oriented drivel.

Old Tail Gunner Joe never actually found a single one. Forced a few into a loss of their career, but never found a one.

[ddog]

Have you guys ever considered the fact that a revolution is in order.

I vote we start with DC


It's too late for that.

The lies and frauds are built into the dna of the country now.
Yes, not all are blind , but the majority are and they really when push would have to come to shove will not give up the life they have now to undertake a risk such as this.

You will not get a mass great enough to actually do what needs to be done.


Speaking what you believe and acting on it have become outdated notions.

You must first check it for PC and then poll the hell out of it.
Your "handlers" and "the professionals" tell you what to say because it polls.

Did leaders "poll" in the past, or did more of them stake out a position and persuade others to come along???

The very profession of politics has become toxic as practiced here now.
The political parties have become fraud/theft/deceit/criminality at all levels.

Here in Orange County we have a somewhat similar situation.At the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum in Yorba Linda a statue of Mao Tse Tung has been on display in the Hall of World Leaders since the library opened.A protest,set for today,has been organized by a Chinese American,Kai Chen,who emigrated to America from China in 1981,and knows firsthand what life under the Communists is like.

Just for you Zilly. As susual, you are incorrect:

In Joseph McCarthy, Arthur Herman writes that the “standard claim that McCarthy had never exposed a real Communist in the government” is “demonstrably false.” A perusal of the major books on McCarthy reveals that this statement itself sets Herman’s work apart.
McCarthy’s “critics were right,” Rutgers Professor David Oshinsky remarks in A Conspiracy So Immense, “he never uncovered a Communist.” Thomas Reeves of the University of Wisconsin opines in The Life and Times of Joe McCarthy that “McCarthy did not have a single name.” Robert Griffith maintains in The Politics of Fear, “Each of McCarthy’s charges was fraudulent.” “It happened to be a fact,” boasted Richard Rovere in Senator Joe McCarthy, “that not one certifiable Communist had been disclosed as working for the government” as a result of the junior senator from Wisconsin’s efforts.


Herman dissents and offers up Owen Lattimore, Edward Posniak, Mary Jane Keeney, Gustavo Duran, and John Carter Vincent as among the cases in which McCarthy had things essentially right.
Among one of the first names McCarthy named was that of Mary Jane Keeney. Mrs. Keeney worked in various sensitive overseas State Department jobs during the 1940s before settling in at the United Nations. Intercepted Venona cables, as well as her own diaries, prove that Keeney and her husband were Soviet agents. In February of 1950 McCarthy understated matters by labeling this agent of a foreign power merely a Communist. By the end of that year she was forced out of her post at the United Nations.
For anti-anticommunists, McCarthy’s charges against Gustavo Duran stood as “proof of the insanity of the red scare.” Michael Straight, Duran’s brother-in-law and editor of The New Republic, would use the pages of his magazine to promote Duran’s supposed innocence and McCarthy’s assumed recklessness. Testimony by many attesting to Duran’s Stalinism and work for the Spanish Communist secret police during the Spanish Civil War—even a picture of him in a Communist uniform—was dismissed as Francoist propaganda. One would think that Straight’s later admission to being a Soviet agent should have at least sparked a second look into this McCarthy allegation by historians.
Besides Herman, there haven’t been any takers. Herman asserts that Duran was “not only a Communist but a central figure in Stalin’s cold-blooded purge of his Trotskyite and anarchist allies during the Spanish Civil War.” Later, Duran’s supporters would lamely point out that Duran, like Mrs. Keeney, was technically no longer a State Department employee since he worked at the United Nations. The fact that he, like Keeney, was paid by the State Department and was definitely a Communist didn’t factor into their passage of judgement on McCarthy’s charges against Duran.
More so than any other witness, Annie Lee Moss purportedly exposed the cruelty and recklessness of Joseph McCarthy. Moss, who somehow jumped from an Army cafeteria worker to a clerk in the Pentagon code room, was labeled by McCarthy to be a loyalty risk. A middle-aged African American woman who walked to give her testimony with an elderly gait, Moss quickly gained the sympathy of Democrats on McCarthy’s committee. When asked about her knowledge of Karl Marx, Moss asked, “Who’s that?” The copies of The Daily Worker that arrived at her house were sent to the wrong address, she maintained. There were three Annie Lee Mosses in Washington, DC, her defenders intoned, so perhaps McCarthy had gotten the wrong woman.

I know, you'll link to someone who supports your position, but Soviet files list hundreds of government officials from that era as communist agents, including many of the names McCarthy brought forward.

Orange County the home of the paranoid John Birch Society

It's hard to believe the loons are still around.

[BlueShoe]

Orange County the home of the paranoid John Birch Society.
Actually,the JBS headquarters is in Appleton,Wisconsin.But anyway,Zilly,just what does the JBS have to do with opposition to commemorating the coming to power of the Chinese Communists?Although the Birchers are certainly in agreement with these protests,we fail to see the connections.But then again,you leftists never miss a chance to support,praise,and defend Communists,do you?

The society opposed aspects of the civil rights movement in the 1960s because of its concerns that the movement had communists in
important positions.

The society opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, saying it was in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and overstepped the rights of individual states to enact laws regarding civil rights.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extreme-right and hate groups, lists the society among "'Patriot' Groups". It defines such a group as follows: 'Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the "New World Order" or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage
in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist

There WERE communists in inportant positions,the society got that one right.In fact,the reds are still there.In the 1960's there was a group of southern congressmen and senators called "Boll Weavils"These were Democrats that were quite conservative and often voted with the Republicans.Many,if not most,of these Dixiecrats opposed the CRA,as did many Republicans,so opposition was not unusual in both parties.Once again,the usual leftist tactic has come from your direction;ignore the issue under discussion,and attack some group in an attempt to divert attention.So once again,just what the hell does an attack on the Birch Society have to do with the ChiComs?Shall we take this as your approval of Mao and his successors?

How can somebody "force a few into a loss of their career" without finding them? :bang: .

There were more commies in Hollywood than there were girly men. Speaking of commies, I doubt that the CWP has tried to infiltrate the garment workers in North Carolina since that little skirmish at Greensboro 30 years ago.
