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.
