    Thirty to fifty years ago that? The KKK are all GOP now, of course, minus one or two, I suppose.

    Union Democrats were never KKK members, did you ever study history?

    Do you really believe that if we studied the political leanings of KKK members, you'd find them to be predominately Democrat?

    Of course you don't. So what the **** are you talking about?

    I feel sorry for the freedom loving residents of Hong Kong. But they are effed. We knew it would happen eventually.

    They've only known freedom. A deal was made with the Chinese that they would revert to China but maintain their independence, oh well, Communist regimes don't keep their promises.

    The Soviet Union lasted 74 years.

    Red China is in its 70th.

    "Red" China is no longer communist but has changed to a form of state capitalism combined with a repressive one-party regime, so it can continue for a loooong time, unless the people rebel against the regime.

    When all else fails and you want to derail a thread, just post some random ass pics of Democrats in bedsheets. Well done, very well. :applause:

    I was wondering why they were flying the US flag and singing the US national anthem rather than the British flag and "God Save the Queen". The US has never had any official relationship with Hong Kong. Does the US flag represent "freedom" more than any other flag on earth?

    Trump, instead of supporting those who were protesting against the totalitarian Commie regime gave it the old...”there are good people on both sides”. He is supporting the Reds. Trump loves totalitarian regimes as he has proven with his love affair with the murderous dictator of North Korea and his sucking up to KGB scumbag Putin.

    I'll quote myself here:

    I'll add that being friendly with the dictators works better for Republicans than Democrats. Democrats get walked all over, Republicans get what they want.

    There’s no quandary. Leftists support the protesters.

    I'm being completely honest here. What are you talking about? This is all in your head. The actual left is in full support of the protestors in Hong Kong. Quandary? Lol. You people crack me up.

    And many many more wave that flag who are good, decent, freedom loving people. so I take it you don’t support the protestors. Unsurprising really.

    You take it wrongly, of course. You support the Klan waving the flag, yes. So do I: it is his right. But all sorts of Americans wave the flag for causes good, indifferent, and bad.

    It would be nice if just once our leftist friends were on the side of freedom and not the brutal, authoritarian government.

    Do you honestly believe those protests in Hong Kong are spontaneous? Who do you think is pulling the strings behind the scenes? See the bigger picture.

    Why is this Leftist or a problem? Does the right no longer feel proud of America and Freedom?

    Lol where do you get this stuff? Did you read that in New Yorker magazine or something?


    U.S. Intelligence Positions Hong Kong as Proxy Conflict With China – Thankfully President Trump Sees Trap…

    ...The future for Hong Kong is dark. It is not going to end in anything resembling what exists today. Hong Kong will be Beijing 2.0, and will be entirely dominated by Chinese authoritarian rule. The difference in 2019 is the speed at which it is happening.

    Things are speeding up now in direct proportion to the severity of the U.S. decoupling our economy from China. As the Chinese economy weakens, Beijing will get more desperate.

    Many voices around President Trump will cry out for intervention. The UniParty will demand intervention and decry President Trump’s instinct to stay away from the self-made crisis.

    It is not our issue; and engaging in Hong Kong only opens up another pathway for China to play the duplicitous leverage game…. Beijing will play the “we’ll spare, delay, or dilute the Hong Kong absorption, if you agree to our trade terms” game. [lies, lies, lies]
