China's national flag to fly outside White House

Again, THIS IS NOT FLYING IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE! NOT EVEN ON THE SAME BLOCK. It's somewhere across the road. It was never intended to be flown at our White House. Cripes...

JayinAR, I apologize for not knowing that your post was in jest. That's what I get for not reading the entire thread after an absence (we had a big storm/shut down)... Sorry 'bout that.

But in that case, your post is pretty funny.

Worse than John Kerry, I tell ya'.
But seriously, why is the dignitary saying he was given permission to fly it on the south lawn?

There is some sort of shadiness going on here. I HOPE it was just overplayed by the media.

I've amended the OP, thanks again; however, now I have other questions. Lol... Even though Fox reported this, I don't necessarily think that this is what was all along. After all, some things in the Fox report don't really add up. Of course, if you choose to believe the MSM at their word, that is ok, I don't. I think something else is going on here.

And, according to the Fox coverage, this is a conservative issue with the administration.

The article said that conservative talk show were howling about it. They didn't say this was a conservative issue with the administration. I haven't had the TV on, but I don't doubt they were having a field day with this.

And, more importantly, for conspiracy hunters, why is Fox, who is notoriously conservative, reporting this way?

Hey, every once in a while, even FOX gets it right.

(Sorry, I really couldn't resist that one...)

I guess so but the implication was that it was conservative. Seems fishy.

Did you seriously just say Fox got it right?

ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION Benevolent Heretic has been body snatched!!!

I don't ever read Fox or CNN or any of them anymore, perhaps I should just out of curiosity of what they're reporting, I've become so jaded with their obvious attempts at manipulation.

The Chinese plant their communist flag at the White House and say we own you

and your country not to mention our communism finally winning over your

capitalism. Our man is in the White house and 2 Czars are known communists

inside your administration, good job comrade. Oh say can you see, this bright

red flag, we bought and own you, and we are so glad. ^Y^

Europe could start arming and take us on.
Even the Russians or Indians if they decided to sink their entire GDP into a crash military buildup.


EDIT: DRAT BH!

Ruining all our fun with your pesky fact-checking

Yes but....

China IS building up their forces very rapidly the others are not.

BH. You're a party pooper.

Did you guys look at the comments on the Fox story? There was one that was particularly entertaining and IMO asked a very good question:

Which communists should we believe, OURS or theirs???

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my quote about FOX getting it right is going to show up in someone's signature... How embarrassing.

I've become so jaded with their obvious attempts at manipulation.

I watch them with that in mind. Keeps me on my toes. I like several news shows but all of their biases show if you're looking hard enough.

Thanks, BH for that good news, I tell you, honestly I don't care if they stamp the China flag on the foreheads of the dirty politicians we got in the White house, but I have to say that it will sadden me very much if that communist flag rises next to the American flag in the White House taking away the memories of all those that have died fighting communism in behave of our US government.

Truly, when you have family members that have died for this nation battles is just to much to take.

Those are the best news I have so far.

I think is too much propaganda going around against Obama and his administration, now is starting to look for what it is nothing but a game of agendas.

But marg, were any memories taken away when George Bush had the Chinese flag flying beside the US flag on the white house lawn a couple years ago? I linked to it in one of these threads. Did anyone even KNOW or CARE???

You got that right.

I thought that was for a diplomatic visit and not a birthday celebration like the Link to the OP said, after all that is what the story coming from China is claiming.

Did you see this? US Seeks Military Exercises with China

This is getting just to cozy for me.

It was. But what's the difference? The Chinese flag still flew right beside the US flag on the white house lawn. That's what everyone is freaking about. Not the occasion.

I can take a diplomatic visit, but not a birthday celebration.

We cross train with all of our allies.
China is an ally.
I don't necessarily LIKE that they are our ally, but they are.
