"The loud sucking noise you hear? That's President Barack Obama
kissing up to the Chinese."
- - - -
In spite of his opposition to Communist China, the Dalai Lama of Tibet
is the darling of the American left. These would be the same leftists
who form Barack Obama's largest and most vocal base of political
support, so it is strange why Obama would risk offending them by
refusing to meet with the Dalai Lama during his trip to Washington
next week.
But maybe it's not so strange, since President Obama is scheduled to
make a trip to China next month to perform oral sex on Hu Jintao in an
attempt to convince him to loan the USA another trillion dollars.
And while Obama is smart enough to know he should avoid offending
Communist China, he also knows that it does not matter if he offends
the American left, since he and his Party are assured of their
continued support no matter what.
Leftists may whine and complain and stage a few half-hearted protests,
but 100% of them will vote for Obama again in 2012. Who else are they
going to vote for, Sarah Palin?

With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Savior!' she extended
her arms towards the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands.
It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer."

Yup. I _knew_ this story would have the far-right defending the Dalai
Lama for the first time in their miserable self-hating lives!
Now explain why Obama gave the Red Chinese a couple trillion of our
national debt. You gonna pin that on him too? |

It's called "realism". The decison was made not to meet with the Lama
until *after* Obama visits the Chinese leadership in November because
of delicate negotiations concerning crucial foreign policy, economic
and environmental goals that the Lama has absolutely nothing to do
with.
Makes sense to most international observers. Why insult the sleeping
tiger by stroking the pussycat? And in the long run, what difference
will it make to relationships with Tibet, which, I understand, has
become a garbage dump for Americans climbing Everest? Eh?
Look around. Religion is dying.

I always wondered why the left is so enamored of a religious leader
such as the Dalai Lama, the same left that would pelt the Pope with
rotten eggs if given a chance. But while I do not recognize the
authority of an unelected religious leader, the Dalai Lama still has
more authority than the unelected puppet government installed by
Communist China.
I participated in the Olympic Torch protest in San Francisco last
year, and everyone kept assuming that I was there to support the
Tibetan independence movement, but I was just there to protest
communist tyranny - particularly the Tiananmen Square massacre.

I don't agree with your assessment. You speak as if all the lefties
are in one room and agree on one thing. The lefties, by the way, were
most always in favor of relations with the Chinese while respecting
the authority of the Dalai Lama.

You're discounting Communist China in much the same manner as the U.S
did before Nixon opened the doors. What kind of authority does the
lama have? What can he do, and why hasn't he done it?
Same thing with the Pope. The Pope and the Catholic church don't hold
much water as far as intellectuals are concerned. Check out the
Pope's role in WW2. The Catholic church's pronouncements on birth
control in countries where 90% of the population are starving with
disease-ridden bodies certainly is enlightening, don't you think?
(Intellectaul just means that you have a capacity ofr knowledge and
that you are open minded)

America's has had its own massacres, too. Recall Chicago. Recall the
billions of dollars and spent lives for the cause of freedom in South
Vietnam. Look at Iraq. Afghanistan.
Look at the history of the U.S as far as race-relations are concerned
- and it's still there - subtle racism, even against our president.
By the way, I was one of those spent lives.

If you want to protest the T Square suppression, why don't you protest
against Kent State killing of students as well?
To support Tibet independence means more blood shed harvested by a few
international politicians. |

I suppose I could, but the difference between Kent State and Tiananmen
is that Americans who protest against Kent State are not imprisoned
for it. Kent State was an unfortunate accident , as opposed to
Tiananmen which was ordered by the highest-ranking Chinese leadership.
Quote: To support Tibet independence means more blood shed harvested by a few

Chinese are all about order. Chinese society is as orderly as an
anthill or beehive, with every Han nothing but a drone whose only
purpose in life is to serve the collective. The greatest sin in Han
society is independence, whether it be independent thought or
political independence, and this is why the Dalai Lama is seen as such
a dangerous heretic.

In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy
means not thinking -- not needing to think. Orthodoxy is
unconsciousness.'"

It was no accident. These are just the lies that the government put out
about it. You don't accidentally kill four people while they happen to be
peacefully protesting a war.
There is little difference between the two events, but I did notice one
thing. Remember that clip that they keep showing about the guy standing in
front of the tank in China? You have to realize that as brave as he was,
the guys in the tank were not willing to harm him. That is different.
Quote:

You can't make such comments about a people like that. That's what racism
is based upon.

Chinese society isn't really like that, at least not more so than our own.
Propagandists always say it about "serving the collective." What they avoid
acknowledging is that the collective also serves the individual. What it's
about is people helping people rather than all working their butts of to
make one rich person even richer.

Look around. Religion is dying.
I always wondered why the left is so enamored of a religious leader
such as the Dalai Lama, the same left that would pelt the Pope with
rotten eggs if given a chance. But while I do not recognize the
authority of an unelected religious leader, the Dalai Lama still has
more authority than the unelected puppet government installed by
Communist China.
I participated in the Olympic Torch protest in San Francisco last
year, and everyone kept assuming that I was there to support the
Tibetan independence movement, but I was just there to protest
communist tyranny - particularly the Tiananmen Square massacre.
"San Francisco Welcomes Political Protesters. Beijing Kills Them."
If you want to protest the T Square suppression, why don't you protest
against Kent State killing of students as well?
To support Tibet independence means more blood shed harvested by a few
international politicians.
Was the tragedy at Kent State ordered by the U.S. government?
Were the demonstrators imprisoned?
Did the U.S. attempt to cover up the killings?
Did the Chinese launch an investigation into the T Square reaction to
the demonstrators?
I think you better come up with a more germane comparison.
Not really.
Agents of the U.S. government shot and killed four students who were
protesting a war. That's all we need to know in the context of this
discussion, which centered on the United States' intolerance of
demonstrators at that time.
It reveals attitudes and itchy fingers.
OK! Let's go through the tens of millions that Mao killed.
Stereo-typical anti-Maoist propaganda. You can't add up all the deaths
that occurred in that area of the world and lay them at the feet of Mao.
There was a revolution and people were going to die. Many said that they
would rather die than go on living as slaves. Look at how far he brought
China in such a short time. The previous powers would not yield their
control lightly. Some of those deaths would be at their feet too, if not
all.
What??? The cultural revolution and the great leap forward led to the deaths of
millions of people. It's a fact. Purge after purge killed millions. Take off
your rose-colored glasses. Or at least give back the 50 cents. |
