Dear god…
Ive never been to the White House, but is it normal for other countries flags to be put in the lawn of the White House other than the USA flag?
This is a disgrase. No flag other than the US flag should be set on a government building.
Relax, Hoosier! There are whole books full of protocol on when and how to fly flags. There may be high Chinese officials in town and it is done to honor them and their country. They do the same when other countries’ officials visit.
I just attended a welcoming reception for police officials from Botswana, Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa. All of THEIR flags were on the dias next to the Stars and Stripes.
Local police officials were there in full uniform. Everyone welcomed these most interesting visitors. Putting up flags makes strangers feel at home and welcomed; it is a sign of respect. Do not infer disrespect for your own country for acknowledging others.

Yeah I wouldnt worry about it. There are flags everywhere from every country near the national mall. I can’t remember the name of a monument, but I think it has every flag from around the world circled around it.
On a side note here is a wonderful article released yesterday from Gerarld Celente.
Excellent article…
One thing I find interesting, is that in addition to the protestors OVERWHELMINGLY telling their representatives they DON’T WANT NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE, they are just as upset over MORE government intrusion in their lives and moving further and further AWAY from the foundation of our country.
There are polls out now that say 72-78% of the PEOPLE want the rest of the “stimulus” bill CANCELLED… But, now the Dem’s are talking “stimulus 2.0”…
But for those who advocated the first one, how can you argue against a second? Then again, why not a third, fourth or fifth???
What amazes me is all the “sheeople” who so willingly want to give over their lives to government CONTROL, or WORSE YET, those who don’t want to for themselves, but are willing to CONDEMN their fellow citizens to a subserviant and substandard life under government “assistance” (name your program).
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.” William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783
The Chinese flag should be flying OVER the White House - they own us - lock, stock, and barrel!

Positive outlook, have you ever read “The Report From Iron Mountain”?? If not, read it. I don’t think you will be as amazed anymore by the liberal/democrats tactics. That book took me from “why the hell are they doing this” to, “ohh ok…just part of the plan”
我们的愚蠢 Sorry, just practicing my chinese. I think that it means we are stupid
