Saturday, July 4, 2009 – The Flag

The 2009 Fourth of July parade in Rancho Bernardo, California – inland San Diego County, between Camp Pendleton just to the north – the Marines, their center on the West Coast – and San Diego to the south, with its massive Navy base – the area is politically conservative (solid Republican) and intensely and militantly patriotic. There are flags everywhere.

In China, they're known as the Falun Gong. They're not welcome there – they get thrown in jail, or just disappear. Here, they're the Falun Dafa. They're welcome here. We don't do that sort of thing. That's the whole point of the Fourth of July.
