Go Away, Jon Huntsman

Dear Jon Huntsman,
The Unites States is not China and the Republican Party is not the Chinese Communist Party.
That seems fundamentally true to most folks, but you appear to disagree.
Let me try to put it into perspective.
IF the USA were China, you would not have been allowed to be a candidate for President, because the candidate would have been settled within the Communist Party leadership.
IF you had spoken out, as you did a few days ago, against the Chinese Communist Party, you would now find yourself in a Chinese prison, without any visits from your family or human rights representatives.
IF you had spoken out against the Chinese Communist Party and were now in a Chinese prison, you would not only be facing some trumped up “breach of the common good” charge, but you would also be charged with tax evasion, to the tune of several million dollars, just as the artist Wei-Wei was when he spoke out.
IF you had spoken out against the Chinese Communist Party, the only members of your family not under house arrest would be those who had managed to flee to a safe country where they could speak in your defense…many Chinese dissident family members find their safe harbor in THE UNITED STATES.
So, please, Jon Huntsman, shut up, to be polite about it.
Go quietly into the oblivion you richly deserve and do not even bother to try to explain. We do not want to hear it or you.
And, while you are enjoying your retirement from public life, just try to remember that whatever you do, say, write or think, there will be no midnight knock at the door…because you are safe in a democratic country that tolerates idiots like you.
By the way, just for the record, America has had four years of an Obama administration trying to appease the Chinese government, a.k.a. the Chinese Communist Party. What it has achieved for the USA are patent thefts, currency manipulation and unfair international competition.
Maybe you can explain how the appeasement of China by the GOP and Mitt Romney would achieve any better result than President Obama and you, as President Obama’s Ambassador to China, did. Mr. Romney is right, and you, sir, are wrong.
So, just go away - now.
Sincerely, Casey-Pops
