Oh please! The Church of England is practically defunct in Britain...it has as much influence on the policies of the government of Great Britain as the Smithsonian Museum has on our government

Huh that is why the Queen the official head of the UK govt. is also the head of the official "state" religion.

An apt comparison ... both the Queen and CoE are basically irrelevant in England's day-to-day life. Sad but true.

I think Hannity's real reasons are not rational -- he's afraid that this will be an in for the salamikazes, and is looking for reasons to support his knee-jerk response. But his response is at least understanable.

What's really interesting in all of this is the big picture: why is it that the vast majority of American ports are operated by foreign-owned companies? Is that a problem? Why aren't American companies doing this work?
