Coronations

         My dear British brethren, what a history you have! What a heritage! And what troubles you have today, as do we! An article from your MailOnline began with this "Prince Charles's coronation service should be opened with a reading from the Koran, a senior Church of England bishop said yesterday. The gesture would be a 'creative act of accommodation' to make Muslims feel 'embraced' by the nation....."  I don't know what's going on over there with your royal family. I'm too busy trying to keep our royal families, the Bushes and Clintons, from another coronation and dealing with our present King. All I can say is 'Long Live the Queen!' The following is a post from May of 2011:

Rule Britannia

         A BBC report by Mark Mardell titled Obama's Historic Speech Fails To Soar described our President's speech to both of your Houses of Parliament at Westminster Hall as an "ideal place" for an American President to speak but wrote that "it was flat and lacked soaring passion." He further wondered why sometimes Obama is a "tremendous orator" and sometimes he "just can't pull it off." Well Mr. Mardell, and any Brits who may happen to stop by, let me clue you in, if he doesn't use a teleprompter...what you see is what you get.
         Barack Obama is a product of the media and a culture that watches Dancing With The Stars while its country and the future of its children totter are on the brink. He is a community activist  in way over his head as evidenced by chaotic at best, and devastatingly destructive at worst, Middle-East and foreign policy. His economic policy was designed only to peak around November of 2012, long enough for a second term election victory.  He parties and golfs and travels to Europe occasionally to rekindle the syndrome that blinded America in 2008.  He was mentored by Leftists and groomed by radicals who long ago deciphered the combination to success in American politics as this... deception and a coalition of self-seekers and malcontents.
          Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to our Congress and we heard an intelligent, informed, determined and honest world leader's speech. Absent was the teleprompter, the carefully fashioned defensive words, the meaningless phrases specifically crafted so as not to take attention away from that real reason for a speech...a photo op. President Obama, in speaking to your Parliament on the bond between America and Britain, probably had to force these words out, for the first thing he did in the Oval Office was send back to you a bust of Winston Churchill.
          I wonder if you find my words disturbing? Well come over here and travel around as Alexis de Tocqueville did and you will see the discontent and apoplexy at having found ourselves in this situation. We are trying to find another Ronald Reagan...honest we are.  I have visited your country twice before and walked the streets once bombed by the Luftwaffe and thought about your Finest Hour. I walked the halls and lawns of Cambridge thinking about the Puritans who were most responsible for the foundation of faith our Founding Fathers built upon. I sat listening to the gospel preached from the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Elephant and Castle from whose pulpit Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached to the world. I witnessed an Easter Sunday evangelization event at Trafalgar Square. I gazed for many more than a few moments at statues of Churchill, Cromwell, Montgomery and Nelson. I saw my own surname placarded on a wall at the Tower Of London as it is at George Washington's birthplace. Speaking of a bond between America and Britain is superfluous to me. I don't need the reminder for it's embedded in my psyche. Don't give in or give up Brits, but give the world another Churchill or Thatcher!
