By This is being played up as being a bigger deal than what it really is, but still you would think the Whitehouse staff would vet these people more closely:
Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang gave a musical shout out to America-hating patriots in his homeland when he played at the White House state dinner last week.
During his performance, Lang tinkled the ivories with the famous anti-American propaganda tune “My Motherland” — the theme song from the Chinese-made Korean War movie “Battle on Shangangling Mountain.”
Chinese President Hu Jintao, the guest of honor at the dinner, surely recognized the melody. The song has been a favorite anti-American propaganda tool for decades.
Lang apparently knew exactly what he was playing. [NY Post]
You can more at the link, but the guy was quite proud to play the anti-US song:
Lang said in a TV interview that he played the song to reflect Chinese pride.
“I think playing the tune at the White House banquet can help us, as Chinese people, feel extremely proud of ourselves and express our feelings through the song,” he told the Chinese network Phoenix TV.
“I think it’s especially good. Also, I like the tune in and of itself. Every time I hear it, I feel extremely moved.”

Ironically, he would have been thrown in jail for doing the same thing in China.

TD beat me too it.
If an American in China had played an anti-Chinese song – or stood up and shouted "Free Tibet" – he'd be lucky to have left the country alive. The authorities would have had to take him into custody to prevent mobs from ripping him to pieces, and there would have been (state-affiliated) riots in large cities all over China. I say "state-affiliated" because they would have been honest, spontaneous expressions of mass outrage by the Chinese, but the Chinese government would have jumped on the bandwagon with them only stepping in if they got too out of control.
Also, the American would have been criticized outside of China too. Even with a "Free Tibet" shout-out.

Bah, you're seeing to much into this. Besides, Communism is on it's way down in China. How do I know? I bought a couple of t-shirts with the picture of Mao for 5$ by the Great Wall. Yes, the Communist icon has become a means to sell t-shirts. I find great irony in that.

Tbone…
That was my first thought as well… but the First Amendment rightfully protects such douchebaggery.
This unnecessary act of disrespect toward the country where he prefers to live and take advantage of the higher income, greater freedom, and better standard of living, needs to be punished socially.
Patriotic Americans, from fans to critics, should show their displeasure by effectively ending his career.
7:30 pm on January 25th, 2011 11
Overthinking and knee jerking – read the lyrics on Wikipedia, it is a blatant rip off of "America The Beautiful" and has about the same meaning in China. The Chinese do not see it as Anti-anything, they see it as pride in home.
8:36 pm on January 25th, 2011 12
I'll have to leave #10 in the question box.
The lyrics of the song don't overtly, in Western eyes, sound anti-anything. But, I'm not so sure how it plays in Chinese society with their literary style.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Motherland#cite_n…
East Asian poetry is very strong in imagery and metaphors. Far more so than Western poetry. Literati in Korea could start revolts based on use of words like "wolves" or "bending tree" under "heavy snow".
The song was made for an ultra-patriotic movie about the Korean War. It is obvious the wolves would be the Americans.
Depending on the severity of the movie and how much it and the song have stuck in the Chinese collective conscious, it might or might not be a big, clear slap in the face when played at the White House for a China state visit…
8:40 pm on January 25th, 2011 13
Also, the song being set to an American patriotic music was a technique the revolutionary founding fathers of the United States used with patriotic British tunes…

Yet another slap in the face of America (Obama) from the Chinese. After all, it is obvious that Americans aren't that bright. They elected a Community Organizer as Leader. Silly Americans. "I'll play the anti-American song just so I can see the silly American President clap and smile like a fool."
Just add it to the list of stupidity coming from this WH "leadership".

…It's not just the thought of having the hockey mom president that spooked voters; it made a lot of people question his sanity. But the old man wanted the one with the big tits as my running mate, and gosh darn it, that's what he got. It didn't matter to him that she's as dumb as a fence post. Gosh darn it, he's a maverick!
3:17 am on January 26th, 2011 21
18 & 19, I agree. Surprise!
But when you play the VP on the right with the Presidential Candidate on the left, you lose.
It demonstrates that you understand Obama was/is a weak candidate. You can't compare him to the Vet, so you compare Obama to the VP, who is more "equal" to Obama.
Lets face it. She is just as stupid as Obama is. That is why she always comes into the conversation. Obama can not be compared to the vet. The choice is obvious.
As for being a "maverick", I don't see it. A "maverick" would not want to be President.
As for myself, I don't vote for VPs. But if I did, she is still better than brain dead Joe. Talk about your token white boy. Joe is it. Obama picked the most useless individual he could find. For the most useless position in government. Pretty much just as McCain did.
Sorry. But I'm not going to defend on a pointless VP argument. They both suck.
53% of the voting American public are just Stupid. But it is a great deal of fun to know I'm head and shoulders above that 53% in my ability to reason and understand. But then again, that's like comparing myself to the bottom 53% so it really isn't that great a statement.
Bottom line is that Obama's race helped him and McCain attempted to nullify that with a female VP. Didn't work. I knew it wouldn't. McCain opening with "my friends" every time he spoke didn't help either. You MUST buy me a drink, before you can be MY friend.
In any case, it is much more fun for me this way. The MAN is black—sorta, kinda.
He's F—ing up. Duh! No experience. He is OJTing. Great entertainment!
The "youth" voters are pissed.
The "gay" voters are pissed.
The "AA" voters are pissed.
The "anti-war" voters are pissed.
But what the hell. Kenya is happy!!

He wasn't on my radar back then. In fact, I wasn't too concerned about politics until 2000. Still not concerned much in 2004. Just voted.
But the liberal hate directed at "W" made me curious. I didn't understand it.
You could say that if not for the Looney Lift Liberals, I would have never gotten interested. Never started watching Fox News.
The Liberals basically created me from a political standpoint. All my political thinking is based on what I've seen from the left. (reminds me of high school) That's kind a sad.

Sorry, but you can agree, regardless of how you feel about the issue, that the vet's strong opposition to the repealing DADT borders on the self-destructive, if not the insane.
Yes, Obama should stop acting like he wants to be friends with everyone (wouldn't be a problem with McCain who's becoming a bitter old man) and tell the Democrats to grow a pair, but to say he's no different than Palin? Nobody is as dumb as the hockey mom. Need I remind you that Obama was a law professor. Palin barely made it through journalism school (how many universities did she attend before finding one that would pass her?), and never did anything more impressive with that than covering local sports.
12:47 pm on January 26th, 2011 28
"But the liberal hate directed at “W” made me curious. I didn’t understand it."
My thing was that the guy was going for the anti-intellectual vote. Now, here's a lawyer, probably a smart guy although he isn't the most intellectually curious, acting like a buffoon, like one of the good old boys. I saw right through the act, but unfortunately many didn't. Making decisions on education and scientific research based on his own religious beliefs (or, those he claim to hold) is another big one.

The song is from a movie…According to the news report, in the movie, Chinese troops are surrounded by Americans, who they call jackals…reinforcements arrive and the Chinese win a glorious battle.
The song refers to welcoming jackals with rifles.

27 A law professor? Really. I have seen no "evidence" to support that clam.
I listen to the man talk and he is as dumb as a box of rocks. Every bit the equal of Palin.
They both graduated. What were his grades? Got a link? Did he write any papers? Where are they?
You know what they say about "Professors". Those that can't do — Teach.
Not impressed. By either the Community Organizer nor the Governor of Alaska.

"The song is from a movie…According to the news report, in the movie, Chinese troops are surrounded by Americans, who they call jackals…reinforcements arrive and the Chinese win a glorious battle.

So, the movie is fiction. There were so many Chinese killed during the Korean War, the number is so high it's too dangerous for the Chinese government to tally up their losses in an honest manner, nor are they all that interested in finding the remains of their soldiers. 150 000 dead? Think ten to twenty times that many. Mass graves of Chinese casualties are still found nowadays.
4:06 pm on January 26th, 2011 34
…I wouldn't be surprised if 150000 Chinese soldiers died of hypothermia alone during the Korean War. Their cotton batting uniforms were useless. Any hiker will tell you cotton is the worst material against cold because it sucks in moisture (sweat, rain, snow) and freezes.

Also back to the point, if this had happened in China, the Chinese street would have erupted in days of violence and mayhem. And the Chinese government would have milked it as long as it didn't get too out of control.
Now, off topic for the post, but comparing Bush and Obama — if Bush's administration had given Hillary Clinton's speech, and violence erupted across North Africa and threatened to spread into the always-troubled Middle East, what would the world and American press have been screaming? What are they saying about it now?
For the record, I am happy to see the Obama administration talking about the spread of democracy and liberty and in those regions…
….But if Bush had said it and unrest had risen, we would have been blasted with rhetoric about "regime change" and neo-imperialism from the very same press that got Obama his job.

Silly you..
UC Law School statement:
"The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School…"
"They both graduated."
She barely did. Again, she went to what, 5 different colleges in order to get a BA…
"What were his grades? Got a link? Did he write any papers? Where are they? "
Given he went to law school and was a professor, I'd say his grades were probably pretty good. As for his papers…I thought you guys had it all figured out…Whoops, it was false rumors.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/columbiathes…
10:12 pm on January 26th, 2011 38
"I thought you guys had it all figured out—", OK-what group have you aligned me with NOW?
What is this hard-on you have for Palin? How bad does that look for Berry that you absolutely are not able to compare Him to McCain.
What do you call a doctor that was last in his class? DOCTOR.
Still waiting for a link to his grades. I'll settle for his SAT results.
But you can only ASSUME he is bright. You know what happens when you ASS-U-ME don't you.
(served as a professor)
I was responsible for three million dollars of high tech equipment at one point. I was responsible for the safety and training of over two hundred personnel at another point. That's what the evaluation stated anyway.
(served as a professor in the Law School, is a rather GENERAL statement) Kind a like the Army statement: served as the NCOIC FOR THE BATTALION S2. But the Army goes on to explain what duties and responsibilities that includes.
"UC" did not. Not impressed.
Obama = dumber than a box of rocks.
All in the military have seen individuals get pushed up thru the ranks to jobs with greater titles and less involvement. Sometimes this is because of their sex and sometimes it is their race. Sometimes it is because they are a D/A and it is the easy way to be rid of them.
I knew a guy once that had done every job in the platoon. He thought he had vast experience in leadership. The truth was that we were still trying to find something that he could do. He was sent off to a "school" to be an instructor and later was promoted again.
Sounds like Obama. Dumber than a box a rocks. Lets get him out of here. Make him a "senior Lecturer". He'll never figure it out.
Obama makes Carter look like a Brain Surgeon by comparison.
Now — Teadrinker, when you wish to talk about VPs again, lets talk about Joe and Palin.
Obama was running for President. Compared him to his competition—McCain.
But you can't do that and win. You can't even compare Joe and Palin and win.
Obama, dumber than a box a rocks.
12:25 am on January 27th, 2011 39
Obama makes Palin look good by comparison–look at the relative number of copies of their books and the fact she still draws crowds and was able to have a greater influence on the 2010 election than THE FRICKIN PRESIDENT…..
That shows he can be pwned by a "hockey mom"…
An "inscrutable" piano player owned his whole team… Making BUSH look smarter by comparison…
What a "genius"…

"qualified VP" The only thing Joe is qualified for is hair plugs.
"McCain went for the big tits." Duh, who wouldn't?

“qualified VP” meaning he was expecting to die or be impeached?
1:09 pm on January 27th, 2011 43
If Palin had been a communist/democrat she would have been hailed by the enlightened ones as "folksy" and "in touch with her voter base".
"Obama's theme was: WTF – Winning the Future. Unfortunately there were a lot of WTF moments in the speech." – Palin
Piiss on this "civility" horse dung. All that means is the communists are feeling the squeeze. They need to be crushed like the roaches they are.

Folksy and in touch with her voter base? Sure, she is. I'll be the first one to admit it…Too bad she appeals to morons.
2:59 pm on January 27th, 2011 46
…and that's why I think McCain's advisers effed him over. He had a good chance of winning until they picked her as his running mate (at least W. was smart enough to know you never go full retard).
3:05 pm on January 27th, 2011 47
Teadrinker…
Palin's appeal is that she does not seem as dumb as Bush, as fuddy-duddy as McCain, as devious as Hillary, as anti-American as Obama, as fake as Biden, as self-serving as Gore… etc.
She may be just as full of shyt as the rest of them… but she has a better attitude… and that goes a long way.

In regards to President Obama being a professor or not, I heard an interview with a full professor on the news who knew the President at the University of Chicago and he provided context on what he did there. He explained that President Obama was a guest lecturer for the various courses at the University and that he usually taught twice a week. The University considered all guest lecturers as part of the faculty and thus professors. I don't know if this is a normal for a major university to consider guest lecturers professors or not. Anyone know? The bottom line is that the UofC did consider him a professor.
Anyway he went on to say that within the faculty it was well known that President Obama had many political friends and that the position at the University was a way for him to build his resume, get a paycheck, and still have time to work on his political career. He also said that President Obama did a good job at the university with the classes he taught but personally found Obama unengaging because he had his circle of likeminded friends at the university that he rarely strayed from.
3:53 pm on January 27th, 2011 51
The inside politics said that McCain really wanted to go with Democrat defector Joe Lieberman. That might have put McCain on top in the general election. But his pollsters told him the party's hardcore base wouldn't stand for it, so they came up with Palin.
Any serious observer of politics over the past 10 years knew that the John McCain of 2008 was not the McCain of 2004 and was very far removed from the McCain of 2002. He only carried the moniker of "maverick" in 2008 but was like a prop compared to the man who earned respect across party lines during his career. He was never liked by the Limbaugh crowd until he fell in line.
The fact for any Republican contender vying for the White Horse these days, unless things change seriously in the next year and a half, is that the primaries will winnow out only the candidates trying to appease an uncompromising base. Whereas the Democrat base over this term will have learned to accept compromise and settle for less than all they want. The primaries may leave the Republicans with a candidate forced to take positions that would be much less unappealing than the Democrat candidate in the general election voters. An increasingly large part of the electorate claim to be independent and they will be looking for someone to work the middle.
This next year and half should be very interesting. Congressmen will have to defend draconian spending cuts which won't make many electorate happy. When the campaigning starts, will candidates be able to get away with non-comments cuts they support? Will they make economically insignificant suggestions about "cutting waste" or be willing to admit to the largest part of their bases that things dear to them like Medicare, Defense and possibly Social Security are the real elephants in the room?

It's nice to see the left side is still into ad-hominem attacks. Name calling is so much easier than understanding and dealing with real constitutional issues.
I have been gone from the US for many years, but not long ago I returned. What I saw was sad. So many people embrace their victimhood, have their hand out expecting some entity to give them a handout of "their fair share" while the republic crumbles.
At least we focused on the right of men to be homoes publicly. That was a watershed event in our nation's history. So vitally important to our survival and ascendency.
4:03 pm on January 27th, 2011 53
Lest I forget, Sarah Palin has seemingly given up aspirations of public office. She seems to have found that she can make a lot of money, and with her gift of driving the left into irrational fits of incoherent rage, make even more $$$ while doing us the best possible service.

Yea that's true, But don't tell the liberals. I have seen, otherwise logical people drift into "irrational fits of incoherent rage" myself at the mention of her name. While I don't have a high opionon of her, I don't understand her ability to manipulate the Liberals physicologicly. The Liberals created her and still to this day, aid in keeping her politically alive.

Point of interest. The word "uncompromising". Liberals use it in the sence of being a weakness.
I like the word "uncompromising".
I like people that DO NOT COMPROMISE.
I like people that know what they stand for and refuse to compromise.
To compromise is to be weak. To compromise is to fail.
The liberal dems only talk of uncompromising after they lost the House. Nancy was/is uncompromising. Likely the only thing I liked about her. One of the things I hated about McCain was his seeming desire to compromise.
Bottom Line: Uncompromising is a good thing.
12:35 am on January 28th, 2011 57
I personally didn't understand McCain's choice of her. She just doesn't have it to be a POTUS or a VPOTUS. She fills a niche in todays politics, fires up her base and pisses off the opposition. She is now like the rabid commentators on radio and TV. Will never be elected, but keeps things stirred up. But, I like her TV show. And she'd probably be a great neighbor. I can just imagine her in a halter top and shorts hanging laundry on a clothesline on a breezy, sunny day, or peering into her mailbox to see if her copy of Guns and Ammo arrived…

Maybe that's the heart of a question that needs to be answered in the coming years: Can a democracy work without compromise?
Compromise seems to be necessary for all modern social groups. Compared to other societies we consider to be primitive, our modern marriages require compromise. Just being a member of a modern family requires compromise. I have to compromise every day to coexist with some people.
6:18 am on January 28th, 2011 59
Yes, but the left wants us to compromise some of our basic rights to get along with them. I suggest that they leave us alone and we'll get along just fine.
9:07 am on January 28th, 2011 60
58 Leaders have no business thinking of compromise when it means going against what they believe/know is right. Compromise leads to failure in matters of pointing the country in a direction or course of action.
But with the WIFE—well that is another matter.
Also any social group that you wish to be accepted in.
But in matters of government, compromise is Suicidal. Or it should be.
I don't want my leaders to compromise with those opposed to what I believe needs to be done. I want them to be stubborn and pigheaded and a pain in the assses of the opposition. I don't want them to shake hands on a compromise. I want them pissed off and cursing.
9:14 am on January 28th, 2011 61

I'd even let her hold my gun!

Bingo. Had he done that, he would have most probably won…But, he was still too much of a centrist, maybe even in individualist. So, they effed him over. They made more money that way.

Sure, and the reason Fox News likes her is? It all comes down to money, you're right about that. At least she isn't selling overpriced collectible gold coins to little old ladies, right?
PS. I have no illusions about the fact that politicians are just for show and do very little, if any, real work. The point was made very clear to me by a very close relative of mine who was very high up in politics, very high up.

Joe Biden's experience and wisdom showing through: http://theothermccain.com/2011/01/28/whose-bright…

Nonsense. VP Biden is a democrat; by virtue of this he has superior political acumen, and exhibits statesman-like qualities.
He is brilliant, witty, wise. A superior leader. We are so lucky to have him. In the traditions of Andrew Young and Jimmy Carter.

#65,
Since you brought up the Soviets and stupidity…
"When [The President] so often repeated the Sputnik Moment that he would aspire Americans to celebrate. He needs to remember that what happened back then with the former communist USSR and their victory in that race to space, yeah, they won, but they also incurred so much debt at the time that it led to the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union."
Sarah Palin on Fox News this week.
Yup, dumb as a box of rocks.

Wow. A slick SPEECH. That really MEANS something….

The Soviet Union may have collapsed, but to the Communists, it was a casualty of a bigger campaign. That one nation (albeit a really BIG one) collapsed is almost inconsequential, in that the Communist idea of pushing their agenda to the globe was and is quite successful.
Their ideology spread like a cancer and now has infiltrated the institutions of the West.
They won.

Oh, Vince. Americans have been calling Canadians communists for years, and some of here still do despite the fact we have a conservative government.
Oh, and Tracy Morgan seems to have figured out why McCain picked Palin:
“Let me tell you something about Sarah Palin, man, she’s good masturbation material. Glasses and all that. Great masturbation material.”

I don't know why I am even dignifying such filth with a response, other than to say that my Canadian relatives have seen the decline of Canada into a politically correct nation, protected by the USA. Afraid we won't be able to do that much longer, because our own leftists have pretty much broke the bank. Things will even out, though, as we become the North American Union and we all see our standard of living level out to pretty much what the UK has, and we're all government dependents.
If that is what you want, it's on hot rails to get here, and has already arrived in a lot of ways.

74 So you're saying that Tracy Morgan, like most successful black men in America, does not find black women attractive.
That is not news.

Looking back at what you said @#61 and what you said before about your preference for Asian women proves a man's sexual fetishes don't have to be racially exclusive.
11:34 pm on January 29th, 2011 78
#77 Wrong. It proves that MY sexual fetishes don't have to be racially exclusive.
But lets face it—I'd do any female who has proper weight to hight and puts on a plade skirt, glasses and pig-tails.
Long black silky hair, almond shaped eyes and she goes to the front of the line.

#76, and it is not true. Retired GI, I know plenty of successfull black men that find their black wives attractive.
10:47 am on January 30th, 2011 80
#79 Most of my black comrades in Service either had white wives or were chasing white tail, sometimes Asian tail.
As for successful black men KNOWN to all, look no further than Tiger Woods. That fool couldn't get enough white tail. Need another? OJ.
Bottom line is that most successful black men want a blond blue eyed beauty. Goes with their "image" of success.
I don't understand the reasoning myself, but it is true in Black American Culture.
So until you provide a survey that proves me wrong, it is you who is wrong.
Seen it far too much to have been mistaken "Listener".
Pick a statement and tell me which is correct.
White women never learn? Or Black men never learn? Which is more accurate?
And don't get pissed at me and start name calling. I see what I see.
Plus, my fetish is Asian. So I don't care who is doing who, in the black/white world. None of my business.

In about 200 years, racial differences won't matter much. Most people will be some combination of white, black, brown and Asian. Except for some scary looking, semi-inbred, holdouts who meet in the woods every so often to rail about preservation of their race.
10:54 pm on January 30th, 2011 82
Most of the people I know ARE combinations of white, black, brown and asian. Ever been on an Army base?
In #81 you really do sound like a race-baiting Liberal. Good job!
Black and asian makes for a nice mix by the way. Black and Irish—not so much.
My hispanic army buddy and his black wife resulted in a beautiful little girl.
While my white army buddy and his korean wife had two kids the boy did fine. The girl is cute, but not bright. Her black boyfriend had to beat her twice before she left him. He sure had her trained well—untill the beating started that is.
As for your prediction, it will take longer than you think for Africa to be creamed down and mixed out. Those are the "scary looking, semi-inbred, holdouts who meet in the woods" that you spoke of, right?
Ah, that was fun JoeC.
Try again whenever you feel like it.

Retired GI #78: You actually have women lined up?
