"If America forgets where she came from, if the people lose sight of what brought them along, if she listens to the deniers and mockers, then will begin the rot and dissolution."

-Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

Don’t Know Much About Mao’s Story…

Back in November there was a rumor going around that the USA was being led by followers of Chairman Mao, late of China, author of Maoism, similar to Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism.... There was even rumor of a cell phone video to prove it, but few Americans viewed it before it was removed from the web. So, here is the video as recalled to me...recorded here in the USA, on my mind since I heard about it.

White House staffers gather in a pub somewhere on the far left side of Washington D.C. to celebrate the anniversary of their 2008 electoral victory over the American people. They sing about themselves:

Don’t know much about Mao’s story,
Don’t know Chinese tyranny,
Don’t know much about the lives he took,
But we quote from his Little Red Book…


An older gentleman with #1 Grandpa on his hat shuffles over to their table and asks, “What’s wrong with you people—don’t you know what you’re doing to the country?” Without waiting for an answer he departs with his wife on his arm. She holds back tears; she holds tight a locket.

The video continues with the White House staffers talking among themselves about themselves: It's not important what they say, but they do come to a consensus. There is nothing wrong with their way of thinking—and that they know exactly what they’re doing to that old man’s country…

There was just one voice at the end, "You better, like, delete that dude. Like, right away. Some of these people are pissed."
