While all this was going on, there are massive protests at the Hong Kong airport. The ChiComs have been threatening to impose ChiCom government policies on Hong Kong. And the people of Hong Kong don\u2019t want any part of it because they know it\u2019s going to add up to a massive loss of freedom and independence.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, Hong Kong, before the ChiComs regained control of it, Hong Kong was maybe one of the classic illustrations of raw capitalism that you could find. It worked, and it worked like a charm. And then the Brits, when they\u2019re getting rid of their empire, they\u2019re turning back over to the ChiComs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-319052\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/HONGKONGFLAGAPP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/HONGKONGFLAGAPP.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/HONGKONGFLAGAPP-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, watching the live footage, there are people protesting.

Live footage of the police clashing with the protesters.<\/p>\n<p>And you know what the Hong Kong protesters are holding and waving around? The American flag. The protesters in Hong Kong protesting the incursion planned by the ChiComs are hoisting and waving proudly the American flag. There aren\u2019t any of them taking a knee.
