White House to fly Communist Chinese Flag

By Dr. Richard Swier 08/27/09 08:30 AM EDT 2 Comments

According to ChinaDaily.com:
The national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20, media reported Sunday.
Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President’s residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.
Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.
"Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics," said Chen.
More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.
Gee, I spent twenty-three years in the U.S. Army fighting the Communists. I faced the Russians in Europe, American soldiers fought the Communist Chinese in Korea, I fought Communist North Vietnam, which was supported by both the U.S.S.R. and Communist China.
Celebrating Americans of Chinese decent if one thing. Celebrating Communism is another. Now our President will hoist the Communist flag over the White House. How fitting and in sync with his political belief system. I can hardly wait for President Obama's May Day parade.

I'm just about to finally go to sleep and I hear a ruckus outside. I took this picture through our screen door of a mama raccoon and her four babies rummaging through our crushed cans.

We had an amazing thunder/hail storm yesterday out here on the eastern plains of Colorado. Then, this beautiful full double rainbow with so many colors. It was amazing.

Yesterday, was a rough day. But, then this full double rainbow appeared in a light rain. It was beautiful. I had to splice photos together to get the full rainbow. Hopefully, the magnificence of the rainbow comes through, though.



Genesis 9:8 And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
9:9 And I, behold, I establish My convenant with you, and with your seed after you;
9:10 And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl , of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
9:11 And I will establish My covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth."
9:12 And God said, "This is the token of the convenant which I make between Me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations;
9:13 I do set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth.
9:14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud;
9:15 And I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
9:17 And God said unto Noah, "This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth."

This is video from 1996. I regret not getting to know Dr. Alan Keyes sooner. I would most definitely have voted for him. Maybe that's what scares the people who pulled this travesty on him?

Yak Fiber!!! aka Quiviut

Yay! Today I got my cloud of yak fiber in the mail from Bijou Basin Ranch which is very near to our ranch.

This fiber is SO SOFT!!! It's like my hands can not comprehend how soft it is. It's crimpy, too. So, I'm hoping to be able to needlefelt with it. It looks like it will work out just fine.

I hope every fiber lover gets a chance to touch yak fiber rovings or clouds. This is amazing!!!
