PC Strikes at English SymbolThune Sees The ForestPrison 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!
Joe Knippenberg picks up this quote from John Thune: Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota, said he, too, was nervous about Ms. Miers but also about a fight within his party. I don?t think that an intraparty battle is...New SCOTUS Appointment
HersethBush picks insider for Supreme Court
President George W. Bush on Monday nominated a member of his inner circle, White House counsel Harriet Miers, for a Supreme Court vacancy, choosing a woman with plenty of legal experience but who is not a judge to replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor.Who really knows anything about Miers? Is she REALLY a judicial originalist, or another lib running under false colors? According to this AP report, there's a bit of contradictory political evidence.
In 1988, Miers, then a lawyer in private practice, donated $1,000 to Gore, the Tennessee Democrat then seeking the party's presidential nomination, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Gore eventually bowed out and Michael Dukakis secured the nomination.In 2000, Miers contributed to the campaign of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who was running against Gore that year. When the votes were still being counted in Florida and the outcome was in doubt, she gave $5,000 to the Bush-Cheney Inc. Recount Fund, according to the non- partisan Political MoneyLine.Time will tell.
Pardon me for not having some clever title. Anywho, Denise Ross at Mount Blogmore:Herseth might feel more strongly than your average House Democrat about DeLay, since his diligent work to redraw districts ? both legislative and congressional ? in the...Harriet Miers?
I never would have guessed it would be Miers, a former personal lawyer to the President and current White House counsel. I'm not necessarily a fan, and here's why: our "balanced" MSM is going to have a field day, and...Miers, an unforced error
From David Frum: The Miers nomination, though, is an unforced error. Unlike the Roberts's nomination, which confirmed the previous balance on the Court, the O'Connor resignation offered an opportunity to change the balance. This is the moment for which the...The Activist Crowd in Colorado
Mike Rosen of the Rocky Mountain News has a great article on the anti-Columbus crowd in Colorado. The group has attempted to block an Italian-American parade celebrating Christopher Columbus and their heritage. However, this year Denver has a new law...Cronkite attacks voters and bloggers
From NewsMax: The man once known as the most trusted journalist in America no longer trusts Americans to vote for their own leaders, saying average citizens are just too ignorant to cast their ballots wisely. We [as a nation] are...
