Look, Comrades, No Lines!: China’s New Leader Announced With The Rise Of The “Red Nobility” Class

We previously discussed how the United States was sharply criticized in a government-supported newspaper in China for the long lines of voters who had to wait for hours to cast their ballots. Now, the happiest place on Earth, has announced its new leader: Xi Jinging. Xi was selected without any lines of citizens, who of course were not allowed to vote at all.

The regular decade transition occurred by an orchestrated vote of the Community Party Congress with his appointment as general secretary after a meeting of senior Communists. The Chinese people were informed of the selection as Xi walked into the Great Hall of the People with other Politburo members.

The rise of Xi to power is viewed as another affirmation of a new “red nobility” class — leaders who come from families with a long communist power pedigree. Xi is the son of a hero of the revolution and three other members have similar family ties. With continuing scandals involving the gathering of huge wealth by Communist leaders, China now fits every definition of an aristocracy using Communist controls to protect its power and wealth. Think of Louis XIV in a Mao jacket.

  1. Woodsy,

    You sly one you….. I though they was funny….. Hey what do you call 25 attorneys jumping out of a plane…… Skeet…..

    How do you know when you have four baptists gathered together…. You always have a 5th…..

    It’s so sad when people set out to polarize ….. They call this progress…. Maybe they ought to get real and take jobs in congress…..

  2. oh, dear. I went away and got attacked (indirectly). I fully agree with SM. I see no reason to insult others. I don’t use racial epithets in front of others nor behind their backs. If you tell an inappropriate joke or use a racial epithet in a joke, I just might call you on it. I tend to get called a “wet blanket” but that doesn’t hurt nearly as much as keeping my mouth shut. Even Joe Paterno apologized for his inappropriate locker room humor. I didn’t say anything, I just didn’t laugh. Maybe it was the ball busting look that got him.

  5. Wootsy, Great set! I’d pay to see your act. “Make sure to tip your waitresses on the way out.”

  6. A secretary, a paralegal and a partner in a city law firm are walking through a park on their way to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, “I usually only grant three wishes, so I’ll give each of you just one.”
    “Me first! Me first!” says the secretary. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.”
    Poof! She’s gone.
    “Me next! Me next!” says the paralegal. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life.”
    Poof! He’s gone.
    “You’re next,” the Genie says to the partner.
    The partner says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

  8. Q: How does an attorney sleep?
    A: First he lies on one side, then he lies on the other. 🙂

    hahahaha!….that was good…..

    Q: What’s the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer?
    A: A bad lawyer makes your case drag on for years. A good lawyer makes it last even longer. 🙂

  10. Ok…. It’s called cultural sensitivity now….. I guess rich people living in big houses would take offense at that….. Some think they got culture just because they can buy it…..

  11. Nick,

    That was funny…. Though I just got through doing the dishes…….I laughed….

    1. Nick,

      Also, you confuse calling you out on your bad behavior with limiting your right to behave badly. No one is saying that you can’t use your stupid, bigoted jokes here. I’m just saying that you’re a schmuck for doing it. I’m just utilizing my right of free speech.

  13. How many male chauvanists does it take to change a light bulb? None, let her do the dishes in the dark.

  14. Wootsy, What do you get when you cross an Eyetalian and a Pollack? A guy who makes you an offer you can’t understand.

  15. You guys can call it pc, and I will call it cultural sensitivity. Whatever,as usual we don’t agree.

  16. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: political correctness – no matter what end of the spectrum it comes from – is stupid. “There are no bad words. Bad thoughts, bad intentions, and wooooords.” – George Carlin

  18. AY, Thanks. Beside the obvious first amendment issue, my biggest problem is that by suppressing speech you merely drive the feelings underground, and they fester underground. Sunshine is the great disinfectant. AY, I fear comedians are our last line of defense. I assume these pc folks don’t go to comedy shows or abide the non pc you see in movies by very good directors. They must boycott hilarious tv like Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Simpsons, 30 Rock, etc.

  19. Nick,

    When it comes to this issue I am on your side….. I won’t let someone get maligned by a PC racist….. If you’re not part of the solution you are the problem…..that’s my opinion….
