Protesting about China is all the fashion these days...

When was the last time you looked up the Falun Gong, Tiananmen Square or the history of Tibet? I’m assuming it’s hourly.

In fact, your homepage is the Wikipedia entry on one of these, right?

As I previously noted, anti-China rhetoric reaches louder decibels every day. And while I don’t condone government-mandated and funded censorship of any kind, the question remains, are you practicing what you have preached?

Have you done your patriotic duty and talked to a member of the Taiwanese Independence movement lately? Did you reenact the Tank Man scene with your American Legion compatriots last weekend? Every morning you unfold and hang Old Glory along with the Tibetan colors from you balcony, right?

If you didn’t march against the Iraq war, against warrantless wiretapping, against the persecution of the polygamist sect in Texas, or against the millions of other coercive actions enacted by the state each year, then you probably shouldn’t trot around on your midget pony. More...

And this: Why are the people of China doing push-ups? 

And this: Ron Paul: let's clean our own backyard first and worry about China later...

And this: Beijing 08: Biggest marketing spree ever for corporate giants?
