Saint George Flag Days

You all know the flag of St G.W. Bush
















Oh no, wait, different Saint. Anyway, I have a 4 foot by 5 foot St George flag that I flew on July 18, the 907th anniversary of the liberation of Jerusalem in the First Crusade. Since then, I've come up with a schedule of dates for flying the St George Cross:

June 3 – Liberation of Antioch
July 9-18 – Liberation of Jerusalem
August 12 – Battle of Ascalon
August 23 – Birth of Charles the Hammer
October 7 – Battle of Tours

For those uninformed (please inform yourselves), the liberation of Antioch in 1098 was pivotal to the success of the First Crusade, which, without that final victory, probably would have have seen us all now speaking Arabic and bowing towards Mecca five times a day; and you chicks would be wearing burkhas -- which sucks for both of us.

The liberation of Jerusalem was a knife in the throat of militant Islam -- always a good thing. Knives in the throat of evil are good. Anyway, the Battle of Ascalon pitted a tiny Christian army against an Egyptian horde ready to re-enslave Jerusalem to Islamic law. We won. We can thank those Christian men for that.

Charles the Hammer (Martel in French) is arguably the most important military leader in Christian history. He defeated a much larger army of Islamic infidels at Tours, ultimately leading to the freedom of Europe from that scourge (i.e. Islam). The Battle of Tours is -- well -- where Chuck the Hammer kicked their sorry asses.

Get your Christian ass a flag of St George and fly it on these dates.
