Chairman Mao Adorns White House Christmas Tree
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | Nancy Morgan

Posted on 12/23/2009 1:58:53 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

President Obama and our first lady have chosen a lovely ornament featuring China’s mass murderer, Chairman Mao, to adorn our national Christmas tree at the White House.

Though this is a slap in the face to every American, the Mao ornament is not a surprising choice – considering the eerie parallels between China’s Great Leap Forward and the path Obama has put America on today, as described in Chairman O and America’s Great Leap Forward.

Joining Mao on the White House tree are a few other ornaments that also mirror the mind set of the current inhabitants of the White House.

There’s a lovely bauble featuring a drag queen and another cutting edge ornament showing Obama’s face superimposed on Mount Rushmore.

Considering Obama’s hostility to Christianity, as shown by his celebration of every religion except Christianity, Americans shouldn’t be surprised. After all, the first thing any successful dictator must do is banish God from the public square and make fealty to the state primary.

The WH line is already passing the buck, stating that the ornaments were part of an invitation to local artists to decorate the tree and that the WH had no knowledge of the specific offerings.

My response to this (other than BOLLOCKS!, of course) is: Soooo, it didn’t occur to *anyone* to screen the offerings in case something inappropriate for the WH came up> I mean, what if it there had been a Swastika-themed offering? Or a depiction of the KKK or the picture of some famous serial killer?

At best, we’ve got amateur hour at the WH again, folks. At best.

Is anyone on FR surprised by this?
Nope.
0bama Czar Anita Dunn had already made it clear who she admires most: Mass murderer Mao Zedong.
It's facsinating to watch the Kenyan self destruct. Never has any president fallen so fast in the polls.
I said it before and I'll say it again, 0bama is finished. Nothing is going to save this guy The only thing left is for Republicans to decide who is going to be their candidate, to know who will occupy the White House in 2013.

They shoulda at least had a Charlie Manson or Che ornament. The Obama generation has no idea who Chairman Mao is/was.

Also, those ornaments look like total crap. My kids brought home ornaments they made in school that look better than that.

Obama won’t wear an American Flag lapel pin but he’ll hang a Mao Christmas Tree ornament? And who would ever think to market a Mao Christmas ornament? There is no disgrace, apparently, too low for the Obamas to stoop to.

We don't suffer communist dictators gladly, and we have a citizenry that is armed to the teeth, know the constitution, and is ready to fight for theirv rights.
Mao had an uneducated, badly fed, fearful, unarmed/badly armed Chinese peasants to deal with when he started his "revolution".

They voted for the guy, sure.
Going to sit idly by and let him turn this country into a Mao style communist dictatorship, no.
They are 2 completely different things.
Look at his latest Rasmussen polls from yesterday. 46% Strongly Disapprove, only 44% Approve. Plus 56% Disapprove.
That is a disaster for him no matter how you look at it.

“White House holiday decor features
environmentally-friendly touches”
December 21, 2009 | 2:43 pm

SNIPPET: “While the 27 trees, 61 wreaths, and 2,700 yards of ribbon look like pretty traditional holiday trappings, it’s nice to see the White House has adopted some eco-friendly touches this year. Six live trees wrapped in burlap will be adopted by the National Park Service after Christmas for replanting.

Recycled and re-decorated ornaments from administrations past grace the official White House Christmas tree (an 18.5 foot douglas fir), which is lit with low-energy-use LED lights this year. And 500 stems of dried hydrangea were used in holiday displays, many of which have been repurposed from fresh arrangements.”

I don't see it that way. It seems to me that a majority supports socialism/fascism -- whatever 'ism' you want to call what is happening. I think we have a very obedient citizenry. Many Christian conservatives, local business leaders, solid citizens, do not want to rock the boat too much, and are FAR from any kind of drastic action. Someone on Rush yesterday suggested that every small businessman ought to lay off half his/her employees so the $$$$ of Soc Sec and Medicare witholdings would not flow to Washington, saying a month of that would starve them out and force them to negotiate. Perhaps it would, but no one is going to do that. In other words, no one is going to stop sending money to Washington. In other words, if healthcare goes into effect, how many people would perform civil disobedience by not paying their taxes? My father always used to say if 5% of Americans would stop paying their taxes, the system could not continue. But it will never happen. People have children, and they aren't about to jeopardize the wonderful lives their children have, to try to take a risky stand. I think we suffer dictators very politely. Right now, some radical wacko has designed the decorations for the White House tree, and they have pictures of Mao and transvestites and etc. on them. Is anyone smashing it? No, Americans are very polite.

“Obama’s Christmas Tree a Gay Communist Hotbed”

SNIPPET: “Hedda’s blog explains that Doonan didn’t exactly contrive to get her on the tree. Rather, the White House sent boxes of plain bulbs to schools and charities, including a gay community center at which Hedda volunteers, for creative decoupaging. Hedda decorated her bulb as any self-respecting star of stage and reality television guest spots would, by festooning it with images of herself. Hedda’s account of discovering her ornament made the tree:

I may never get equal rights, I may never be blond and pencil thin, I may never see Lady Gaga in concert this winter at Madison Square Garden (I could not get a ticket) but one of my balls is hanging in the White House with my name for all to see.”

Your father was right. I’m all in for withholding my withholdings. The leeches and bleeders of the system acquire their power ONLY with our acquiesence and it’s past time that we acted upon that. The beast needs to be starved.

That's just the point though.
Putting Mao pictures on Christmas trees is not illegal, nor it it against the law, nor is it against the constitution. The public can show their disapproval of that by sending 0bozo's poll numbers crashing down, which they have.
However, installing a communist dictatorship in America however, is against the constitution, against the law and illegal.
For you to even attempt to compare the two, and conclude that because the masses didn't go and smash 0bozo’s Christ tree, so therefore Americans will sit idly buy and let a communist dictatorship be installed in this country, is ridiculous.

I offered that scandalous incident as an example of how polite Americans are. I am saying that we accept every little opportunistic increment politely. In every school district, many churches, the statist propaganda is expounded. I am 62, I've been seeing this for 30 years or more. I haven't yet seen any retreat on the part of the left. They ooze into every crevice, and if blocked in one area, they advance in others. They blanket the society with their statist mentality. Even Conservatives accept some of the viewpoints, especially younger ones who have been brought up with environmentalism and diversity.

How do you define a communist dictatorship? In other words, at what point would you say, "The communist dictatorship is in place." ?

I would say that we are WELL along in unfree socialism now, and there is no armed rebellion. Some estimates say that government already pays 60% of all medical payments, and they regulate insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and medical provider licensing, and more, up the wazoo. By communist dictatorship, would you mean armed soldiers on the streets of towns? At that point, it's a little late to take a stand. At what point do you draw the line? What event will give you the sign that NOW is the moment to stand up and stop the takeover? You say when they do something illegal. Well, illegal is only illegal if you can find a court and a judge to rule it illegal. Was the Kelso ruling "legal"? Are all these gun control laws "legal"? What about all the horror stories about illegal property rights violations by various government bodies? Whole books have been written about violations of rights by our governments.

I am saying that my opinion is that conservative Americans have too much to lose right now, to risk jail and armed violence, or to sacrifice their hard-won middleclass lifestyles (which I admire, it's a good thing). And my belief is that at the point that little is left to lose, it will be too late to prevail. I hope I am very wrong and you are very right.

We had armed soldiers in the street right here in New York after 9/11, and on the subways and train stations. Saw them all the time myself.
That is not what this is about.
A communist dictatorship is first of all a dictatorship, meaning there are no elections.
My memory is not too great, but I seem to recall we just had elections in New Jersey and Virgina last month, and the Republicans won, by a huge margin in Virginia, and won in New Jersey despite Jersey being a strong Democratic party stronghold that hasn't voted Republicans since 1993/94.
Thats not what I call a dictatorship.

I think we're being punked here. This reminds me of the Gary Aldrich tale of cock rings adorning a Clinton White House Christmas tree. They were actually "five golden rings" from the Christmas carol, which was the theme of the decorations: maids a dancin, lords a leapin, etc.

Really, would an undercover commie who was smart enough to get elected president and still has the chance to go for a second term put up a Mao Christmas tree ornament?

“what kind of messed up local artist would come up with a Mao ornament???”

I’m thinking a substantial percentage of the artists invited to participate were trendy leftist types seeking to make a “statement” or some such nonsense. I’m actually surprised there wasn’t something Maplethorpe-esque on the tree, to be honest.

Come to think of it, though...it *would* be interesting to find out exactly who did the Mao ornament.
