Prison bans Cross of St George tiepins

The same sort of PC mentality that feels threatened by the American flag and the pledge of allegiance is alive and well in the UK, striking at the flag that is the symbol of England. (Remember the UK is the UNITED Kingdom which includes England, Wales, Scotland, and No. Ireland along with the various islands such as Manx, Guernsey, Jersey, etc.)

Someone has decided that wearing pins with the Cross of St. George, which has been an identifying symbol of England dating back to the time of Richard I ("The Lion-hearted) is racist and potentially offensive!

Of course, said Richard I was also a noted Crusader...ooops! One must suppose some of the Queen's Islamic (semi)subjects have their noses out of joint.

If the Chief were resident in England, he would proudly the flag of St. George and fly it proudly. Given the pressure from modern Islamofascism, perhaps some of the Crudading spirit is not inappropriate, as is noted elsewhere on this blog. Onward Christian Soldiers: Deus Vult!

From the AP:The Army is closing the books on one of the leanest recruiting years since it became an all-volunteer service three decades ago, missing its enlistment target by the largest margin since 1979 and raising questions about its plans...

A Lessons from Henry II

One of the arguments being bruited about, even by the President in this mornings presser, in defense of the Mier appointment is that in spite of a relatively lack of documentation to establish the views of the nominee, this is not anything to be concerned about, since the President has a long standing personal knowledge of her, and based on this, has full confidence that she will make decisions based on an originalist judicial attitude.

It was similar personal knowledge and assurance that let Henry II to appoint Thomas a Beckett, his long-time friend, confidante, and chancellor as Archbishop of Canterbury, in an effort to subject the rulings of the ecclesiatical court system to the monarch. Said attempt failed, when Beckett discovered and acted on a new-found spirit of independence once he was esconced in his new office.

The rest, as they say, is history, which led eventually to Beckett's murder, and Henry on his knees before the Pope to gain absolution.

Bush had better hope, that HIS judgement of his personal attorney is more accurate than Henry's was of his chancellor, or it could well be the death knell of constitutional government in the United States.

According to Matt Taibbi ("Hunter Thompson, but without the talent!"), Douglas Brinkley left his cats and his maid behind when he evacuated New Orleans. But that's all right, he did this probably knowing that Sean Penn was going to be...

Don't worry, we'll take care of Iran nukes: Israel

Radio talker Michael Savage on his SAVAGE NATION program reported on Israeli willingness to take out Iran's nukes if the US fails to get the Eurabian - UN axis to do anything more than a bit of jawboning.

After hearing this, the Chief has been looking for some sort of reportage on this topic but without success until this coverage from the India Express website popped up linked on World Net Daily. The story is datelined out of Washington, so one might note the US MSM looking the other way again.

It's not as though the prospects of a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities wouldn't be significant. One has to wonder why the lack of coverage on this one.

As far as the actual issue is concerned, the Chief sees chances for some real action out of the Euroweenies or the UN as being slim to none. If Israel is willing to do the heavy lifting on this one, the US would be well advised to give them a wink and a nod, and stay out of the way.

Red State seems to have some inside knowledge. Word in legal circles is that Priscilla Owen is set to become the next justice appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Unfortunately, I have received reliable information late this afternoon that...

The Washington Post is following this interesting piece:For many Americans, both Indian and otherwise, the term redskin is a grotesque pejorative, a word that for centuries has been used to disparage and humiliate an entire people, but an exhaustive new...

Democrats have been saying for weeks now that Justice Sandra Day O'Connor ought to be replaced by Sandra Day O'Connor. Since Bush is opposed to reproductive cloning, they should be happy that he has picked a rather reasonable facsimile. Democrats...
