New York to Honor 60 Years of Communism
In my best “Church Lady” voice:
“Isn’t that special…”
New York turns red for China

NEW York’s iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow tomorrow in honour of the 60th anniversary of communist China.
[Now, I don't pretend to understand the inner machinations of the Libtard mind, and I know that yellow is the color of the stars on the communist Chinese flag, but isn't the color yellow considered racist when used in connection with the Chinese? Just saying...]
The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colours of the People’s Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said.
The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark “Old Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra’s death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick’s Day.
Just last week the tower turned bright red.
However, that was not to mark some other communist achievement, but the 70th anniversary of the film The Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy wears ruby slippers rather than the silver of the original L. Frank Baum novel.

P.S. – My favorite comment on the article in Village Voice was:

The Dude says:
It’s only fitting we celebrate America’s own recent communist revolution by honoring the Chinese who will someday be our overlords, I for one commend the owners of the building for their forward thinking to get on their goodside before they own the rest of our great nation outright!
Keep up the good work guys!

That one had me rolling on the floor because it’s probably pretty darn close to the truth!

Guess what the Commie China anniversary lighting has been nixed. But in lieu of the China red and yellow they are going with Islamic green for Eid-al-Fitr
Oh joy…yeah I feel much better. Heh
