Flags Flying at the White House, but Whose?

The White House on Friday dismissed as inaccurate reports from China that the administration will mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic by flying the Chinese flag on the South Lawn.

China Daily, citing other media reports, claimed the president of the Fujian Association of the United States had been granted permission to hoist the flag "in a ceremony in front of the President's residence."

A ceremony, indeed, will take place. But it won't happen on the White House grounds -- rather, on the Ellipse, on the other side of E Street from the presidential residence.

Flags Flying at the White House, but Whose?

The People’s Republic of China is celebrating 60 years of hard core communism ... by raising the flag of that communist country on the south lawn of the White House on September 20.

Well, that is what two Chinese sources are reporting. China Daily reported — apparently unnoticed until last week — that the Fujian Association had applied to the White House for permission to hold a celebration to honor the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and to hoist that country’s red flag on the south lawn of the White House.

Chen Ronghua, a Spokesman for the Fujian Association, said that permission was approved because of closer China-U.S. relations in recent years. And because, “Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing’s Olympics,” he said.

Also involved in the celebration are the Union of Chinese American Professional Organizations and the coordination Council of Chinese-American Associations. The ceremony is to be hosted by other “overseas Chinese organizations,” according to the Chinese publication Global Times.

Approximately 1,000 people are expected to attend the flag-raising ceremony.

While the flags of many nations are flown at the White House when dignitaries of those countries visit, this seems to be the first time a foreign nation’s flag will be hoisted to celebrate that country’s founding, communist or not.

There is no flag rule or regulation that prohibits the flying of flags from foreign nations at the White House; although the Capitol grounds are another matter. The updated 2008 federal flag code is a bit confusing, but it says no flag can fly higher on American soil than the U.S. flag, except for the UN flag at UN headquarters. So there is no direct violation of the U.S. flag code here.

But it does seem to be culturally and universally understood by patriots of all nations that one wouldn’t want to fly the flag of a rival nation that has a governmental philosophy that is diametrically opposed to the founding principles of your own nation.

If the Chinese flag is raised on the south lawn of the White House on September 20, then perhaps the present occupants of the White House, appointees and advisors, see little difference between their own political beliefs — statist-to-socialist — compared to the statist-to-full-fledged-communist outlook of their confreres in Beijing.

Veterans and other patriotic groups should be adamantly opposed to any plan to hoist a communist flag over American soil. Many placed their lives on the line, fighting and witnessing the utter brutality of communist regimes in Russia, Korea, North Vietnam — all of whom are supported by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists. Today, the human rights record inside China is as dismal as they come. Their murderously enforced one-child family policy is an abomination as well. But all this matters not to the White House.

“It was always my dream to raise a Chinese flag in the center of Washington, D.C.," says Chen Ronghua. “This year, my motherland’s 60th birthday, is the perfect time for it.”

September 20 will be the day we find out whether Chinese sources were correct in their reporting and the Chinese flag is raised on U.S. soil in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the deadliest regime in all of history. And if so, what's next: May Day parades to celebrate the Russian communist worker, or Mao's image on Mount Rushmore?

Outrageous

That's what happens when a foreign country owns you financially. Not that I think the commies in the WH would mind but at this point they don't have much of a say do they?

IP, should the United States allow this? You don't seem to have a problem with this action.

I was commenting more on the stupid Rand Corporation kids they have dreaming up this crap and then filtering it down through their controlled outlets. It's just another poke at the public..... messing with everyone's minds, trying to perpetrate fear and anxiety and conflict. It's really childish stuff, and it should be called out for what it is.... a psy-war stunt.

Do I want some commie pinko flag flying above the White House, even for a moment, of course not. I understand that symbolic violence is more powerful than political violence, and this is an act of violence against the American public and the ideals espoused in the Declaration of Independence.

If the public were sufficiently awake, then the establishment would be too scared to pull such a childish stunt. But their psychopaths, that's what they do. That's ok, let them and their controlled assets try this one on, I'm not going to waste any brain cycles on it, for they'll be eating the Crow in the long run, I am certain of that.

China: Suck hole to us and we will continue to lend to you.

This was in the contract with the last loan they sent us. Can you believe this crap?! Be afraid when China's flag flies over the white house.
Does anyone know how close to the fence it will be? Hopefully I can find a Vietnam era flame thrower and celebrate my way.

Is that tongue-in-cheek or do you know that to be true?

Fine by me. The US gov't should be bending over and kissing Hu Jintao's feet at this point. The Communists beat us, finally.
