And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Crusader Cross. It's a social literacy thing. If you're under 60, you probably got a "slanted" indoctrination. I'm so old, I got got a half way decent education.
It's not a 'Crusader cross' it's the Union flag. And as the Crusaders were in the 12th century, and the White flag with red cross was given to the English by Genoa four hundred years later, any crusader would not have worn a 'Crusader Cross.' So, why should a muslim, born in the UK worry about this? Education is a good thing, stop flying flags from lampposts.
The Union Jack is a combination of three crosses representing the three countries making up the UK, one of which—the red one on white field, it so happens—is the Cross of St. George, patron saint of and whose cross was the emblem of the Hospitallers.
Why?
