Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and remember what America was born to be:

Less-Than-Classy Gift Exchange With PM Brown

I wonder how the Europeans like him now.

During British Prime Minister Brown's visit to Washington, he presented our new President with:
  • A pen holder fashioned from the oak timber of HMS Gannet, a Navy vessel that served on anti-slavery missions off Africa.
  • A framed commissioning paper for HMS Resolute, a Royal Navy ship that came to symbolize British-American goodwill when it was rescued by the U.S. from icebergs and given to Queen Victoria. It is the sister ship of the HMS Gannet.
  • A first edition of Martin Gilbert's seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill, whose World War II partnership with President Franklin Roosevelt symbolized the U.S.-Anglo alliance.
  • For Sasha and Malia, each an outfit from Topshop, a British chain of clothing stores, and selected six children's books by British authors which have yet to be published in the U.S.
In return, President Obama presented Brown with:
  • A "special collector's box" of DVDs.
  • For his two boys,  toy helicopters modeled after Marine One.
One wonders whether the DVD's and the helicopters were bought at Walmart, but whether they were or not, the gift exchange illustrates the immense difference between these leaders and their respective staffs in terms of class and maturity.

Battle Flags for the Fight that is Coming; #tcot

Having seen what is brewing in the economic and political realms in the past few weeks, it seems unlikely that our country generally and conservatives specifically will avoid difficult battles in the days ahead.  Things are going to get worse long before they get better. 

I therefore propose two battle flags:

The first for Offense... to remind us what the battle is all about, to attack the enemy fearlessly. The "Gadsden" flag carried by the Continentals into battle at Bunker Hill which they won but at great cost.

The second for Defense... to remind us that we are protecting home and hearth. The "Perry" flag flown at the "Battle of Erie" in 1812 where the Americans won, but again at great cost.
