National Security: On the eve of a visit by China's No. 2 ranking military officer, the Obama administration loosens export controls on technology that will benefit Chinese missile development. It's deja vu all over again.

Xu is vice chairman of the People's Liberation Army Central Military Commission. While here, Xu will visit American military installations around the U.S., including the U.S. Pacific Command.

Perhaps Xu will bring with him a note of thanks for the administration's decision to shift authority for approving sales of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department.

Is there something in the Democrat party platform that promises to assist the Chinese in building state of the art missiles?!?!

Zero has sold us out.

We owe the yellow dogs billions, so now they’re going to start flexing their muscles and making demands and zero won’t refuse them.

Don’t forget the Empire State building’s change in color scheme.

Next, a Chinese emporer at Rushmore.

I’m going to post a separate thread about this as well...

Talk about being surrounded...

The Chinese are already in some of our homes...

Man, sulphuric fumes emanating from the sheetrock must smell really nice on a hot summer day.

Probably keep the skeeters away, too.
