During his performance, Lang tinkled the ivories with the famous anti-American propaganda tune “My Motherland” — the theme song from the Chinese-made Korean War movie “Battle on Shangangling Mountain.”

Chinese President Hu Jintao, the guest of honor at the dinner, surely recognized the melody. The song has been a favorite anti-American propaganda tool for decades.

Lang apparently knew exactly what he was playing.

‘I think playing the tune at the White House banquet can help us, as Chinese people, feel extremely proud.’ — Pianist Lang Lang, pictured here at a New York event

The 1956 film “Battle on Shangangling Mountain” depicts Chinese troops pinned down under enemy fire on the mountain. Then reinforcements arrive and the troops attack the US soldiers, whom the Chinese refer to as “jackals.”

Lang said in a TV interview that he played the song to reflect Chinese pride.

The anti-US musical interlude at the White House touched off some patriotic chest-thumping on Chinese blogs.

“Those American folks very much enjoyed it and were totally infatuated with the melody!!! The US is truly stupid!!” wrote one blogger.

A White House spokesman declined to comment on the song selection, instead directing questions about Lang’s performance to the National Security Council staff, which was not available to comment.

I’m planning to move both my immediate family and extended family into Mexico, and I would like to ask you to assist me.

We’re planning on walking across the border from the U.S. Into Mexico so we’ll need your help to make a few arrangements.

We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.

When I arrive I expect the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. Please print all Mexican government forms in English.

4. I want my Grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bilingual) teachers.

5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my Grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.

7. Please plan to feed my Grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver’s license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but, I don’t plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won’t make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer..

11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put U S. Flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.

13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family or about the strain we might place on their economy.

14. I want to receive free food stamps.

15. Naturally, I’ll expect free rent subsidies.

16. I’ll need Income Tax Credits so even though I don’t pay Mexican taxes, I’ll receive money from the government.

17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican government pays $4,500 to help me buy a new car.

18.. Oh yes, I almost forgot — please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I’ll get a monthly income in retirement.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered

that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's

capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or

crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated'

when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I

don't. I don't care at all.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for

incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring

about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off

Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out

and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in

mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of

nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .

I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First

Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the

United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi

terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move

because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't

care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed

'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that

his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your

heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled

'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you

guessed it-I don't care!!

If you don't agree, with the above then please don't complain when more atrocities

committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference

in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald

Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment

and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony

Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his

Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: 'A simple

way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many

want out.'

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Most Syrians struggle to even read Arabic, much
less have a clue about reading English.

So, how does a group of Syrian protest leaders create the
most impact with their signs by having the
standard “Death To Americans”(etc.) slogans printed in English?

Answer:

They simply hire an English-speaking civilian to
translate and write their statements into English.

Unfortunately, in this case, they were unaware that the
“civilian” insurance company employee hired for the job
was a retired US Army Sergeant! Obviously,
pictures of this protest rally never made their way to
Arab TV networks, but the results were PRICELESS!
