Yellow Clad Zombies in Front of White House...Falun Gong is Goofy...My Enemy's Enemy Might Be My Enemy Too!

I heard the news on the radio. "The police have been successful in keeping the protestors at bay, except for one human rights protestor who made it past the police only to be arrested and taken away."

I am pretty familiar with human rights activists. They are the sort of snot-nosed filth magnets from the suburbs who form things like "The Third World Student Coalition" at the university. They start out as bright-eyed, naive and idealistic girls (including the boys), who start the Amnesty International Club on the high school campus and then take the plunge into the world of PIRG or whatever other madness they glom onto in college.

"Will you sign a petition for..."

Then later, they start getting more and more deranged, monomaniacal, their little ideas inflamed by leftist ideologues on the faculty. When they graduate they still have their passion for "non-profit work."

But I knew instantly that this sort was not the sort who was being hauled away on Pennsylvania Avenue.

I knew that it was an older Chinese woman, almost respectable looking, with a glazed look in her eye and clad all in yellow.

Sure enough, when I saw the picture it was all there, right down to the "Falun Gong is Good!" (uh-oh, a demotion. Last sign I saw said that Falun Dafa is Great!) sign.

Of course I saw the usual hand wringing all over the blogosphere about the miserable treatment the China gives to dissidents.

While China goes overboard in dealing with the Falun Gong, and is completely in error in its treatment of the Holy Catholic Church, the fact that they are suppressing Falun Dafa/Falun Gong should not make us lose a wink of sleep.

Again, we cannot advocate killing the poor Falun Zombies, but the use of police force to prevent the spread of this Quatsch is completely in bounds. Would that our government do the same (and expand the program to the Scientologists, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnessess...).

Catholics should stand for Tolerance, but in a limited way. Error, which is the foundation of Falun Gong, Has No Rights.

Falun Gong/Dafa is neither good nor great. It is a mind control cult that should be eradicated, and we should applaud the ChiComs, in spite of their brutal treatment of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, in their effort at stamping out this Chinese version of Scientology in its early days.

I think you should take a closer look at what Falun Gong is. What if somebody tried to justify killing you and your family on the basis of your ethnicity, beliefs, or ideas?

The Chinese government has done this sort of thing for a long time, and finally, some people are standing up against it. You should support those who are risking their lives to stand up against a dictator which everyone else is too scared to stand up to.

That is good for everybody else in that country who fears the Chinese Communist Regime and their thought police, and MANY people do. The Chinese government claims athiesm and Communism alone is the only form of worship allowed openly there.

You should look at the wider implications of this incident in regards to Chinese people trying to free themselves from a dictator, rather then looking down upon somebody who is making a statement to a whole country.
