I have been trying to keep the old blood pressure within stroke limits, so have not had much to say about the current media witch hunt and beating of breasts in Washington. How much more proof does one need that the Left doesn't believe we are at war than demanding resignation of the SecDef with 130,00 troops deployed in Iraq? Such massive stupidity boggles the mind, the message sent to those who lurk among us, prepared and waiting is crystal clear.
I thought to myself; how much lower will the Dems stoop to obtain power?
Then this item at Mama Montezz's provided the answer to my question.
It seems St. James the Moor Slayer has been relegated to the relative obscurity of a dusty old museum. He has been taken from his place within a church bearing his name because his presence might upset the "sensitivities of other ethnic groups".The statue is being replaced by one of St. James the Pilgrim, one of the other titles by which this saint is known. Apparently a saint who's apparition spurred on the Spanish troops and assisted in the overthrow of the Moors after an 800 year occupation is not as PC as the counter-image of the same saint as the man who entered Spain and converted the population to Christianity. Rather like the Spanish equivalent of St. Patrick.
"The Baroque image of a sword-wielding St James cutting the heads off Moors is not a very sensitive or evangelical image that fits the teachings of Christ, he added."
WTF? As Mama points out, whom the hell is going to be offended in a Catholic country? Islamists are combing Spanish churches looking for offense? The Spanish have sincerely lost it. How long before Spain abjectly apologizes, appoints a new Caliph of Andalusia and returns the Iberian Peninsula to Sharia law?

Wait. What is that sound I hear coming from Spain? Oh...I know. It's the communal wail of the Spanish hiding under their beds crying for their mamas.
A people who will not fight for their freedom will not long have it, and this time around the Marines will not be landing on the beaches of Europe to fight and die for the Spanish or French. That much I can guaran-damn-tee.
