When China Has An Election, Then We Can Talk About Unocal

When China has an election, call me.
When you can read what you want in China, call me.
When a Chinese citizen can openly and freely practice their religion, call me.
When Chinese parents stop killing their newborn daughters because they’re only allowed 1 child, call me.
When the Chinese government stops controlling what news goes out to the rest of the world, call me.
When I can have my Chinese friends visit me in the U.S. without going through the 3rd degree with their government, call me.
When Chinese leaders stop saying things like “I believe WAR with the U.S. is inevitable.”, call me.
When the government doesn’t censure all media, call me.
When a Chinese citizen can openly and freely speak out against their government, (without getting shot that is), call me.

China is a COMMUNIST COUNTRY. Don’t forget it.

If you think for one second that the Chinese government is not 100% aware of the short-sightedness of the American corporate mentality, and taking complete advantage of that with every opportunity, you are whistling past the graveyard.

When the Chinese make plans they make them in DECADES and CENTURIES. We make them in quarters & years. The communist Chinese know this, and know it as a weakness of ours.

The manufacturing dependence and trade deficit with China was CALCULATED and PLANNED. It was a calculated risk they took starting decades ago and so far, it has paid off.

They’ve decided to seduce us with money and get us to support their way of life by making themselves somewhat indispensable to us.

But this tact is a double edged sword. They now need us MORE than we need them, at least a little bit. Why?

When we own (parts of) companies in China, it helps US. Yes, it helps them too but it also enables them to experience more of our culture. It makes them become less communist. And yes, it creates jobs and commerce for us and them.

But the key is that it does this INSIDE China. We are making money there which we can then bring home here. They need to reform their communist ways to make those companies produce and be successful in China.

If they are allowed to own companies outside China, then they will be taking our money home. They will be less dependent on us. They will have less of a need to reform their own country because now they can make money outside.

It is not in our best interest to lend this kind of support to a communist government. As long as China is a communist country they should never be allowed to own ANY western business by any means.

Would we let Fidel Castro buy an oil company here?

The Soviet Union crumbled because their ECONOMY FAILED. They were too poverty stricken to maintain their government let alone support their people. China, heeding that lesson has attempted to circumvent this inevitable consequence of communism by opening their economy, in part, to western ways.

But if we allow them to become financially strong OUTSIDE of China, they will have no need to allow western ways INSIDE of China.

Use our presence in China to win freedom for the Chinese people. Say NO to the CNOOK / Unocal deal.

To Great Britain On Today's Terrorist Attacks - We Are With You

To our friends in England & all of Great Britain, we are with you. Our hearts and prayers go to all the victims and their families as well as all citizens of Great Britain.

Today's attacks showed once again the lunacy of the terrorists. We hope that the G8 will take heed and UNITE with steel resolve to eradicate this vermin from our free world once and for all.

There are really only 2 nations, one of free people with governments who want their citizens' prosperity (spiritual, mental and physical), freedom and tranquility. The 2nd with self-serving tyrants who wish to preserve their hold over their citizens through oppression, ignorance and propaganda.

We are the former, the terrorists are and represent the latter.

Let them know that the more they behave as terrorists and refuse to let people live in peace, the more we "infidels", with our free ideas and religious, gender and ethnic equality will invade every nook and cranny of their society.

Let them know this behavior will not be tolerated. Let them know they need to change their ways and seek to live in peace.
