Did you ever notice that the stars on the RNC logo are upside down similar to a satanic pentagram?

[FarLeftFist]

What's up with that.

1. It's a five pointed star for heaven's sake. My quilting friends often

use these in their quilts.

Satanic? Good lord.

[FarLeftFist]

3. What is their meaning?

Lets not put satanism past them, especially when their true colors show.

[DawgHouse]

10. Hmmm.. but on the other hand, a "quilting" club

would be a perfect ruse for a cult. :)

[KittyWampus]

23. A quilt cult? now there's a tongue twister

[Jackpine Radical]

16. What makes you think that traditional quilt designs are not magical?

[AsahinaKimi]

2. I don't know about Satanic but

The Stars are not like the ones on the American Flag. The points face downward.


But hell, you could make up all sorts of theories about why that is... here's mine..

"We Republicans want to crash the USA into the dirt."

5. He-e-e-y---you're right! And there are THREE of them: the number of numerals in "666"!!!

AND---it features blue ON TOP OF red!

[old mark]

28. It stands for Ronald Wilson Reagan - 6 letters in each name - satan himself!

it's in the bible, aftrer all!!!

Reagan was The Beast!

32. Ronald Wilson Reagan=Insane Anglo Warlord

anagrams never lie!

6. Unrec. for dumdumdumb

[FarLeftFist]

7. Hey thats not nice.

But its your right so carry on.

[emilyg]

26. You're right - I'm sorry.

[Jackpine Radical]

8. Rec for dumb.

Yeah, it's dumb, but so are all the fundies that buy into the goofy symbolism shit. Furthermore, dumb or not, it's correct. The wiccan star has one point up, and the Satanic star has the one point down. I could well imagine myself pointing out that little fact to some flat-earth wackjob just to hear the neurons sizzle.

[Hissyspit]

9. I thought that was the point of the OP. This isn't anything serious, but why isn't Glenn Beck

talking about it? I mean, freepers and teabaggers think Obama is the anti-christ because they believe stupid shit like this.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. Yeah. That's how I took it too.

[patrice]

15. Agreed. It is a relatively powerful piece of info for the reasons you state.

[liberalmuse]

22. Some people in DU need to chill the fuck out.

For the most part, this can be a fun place, but there are some humorless folks that suck all the fun out of an OP.

[femmocrat]

11. They look more sideways to me.

Actually, they look like they are leaning to the LEFT!

:wow:

[troubledamerican]

12. The President and the 666

The names Ronald Wilson and Reagan each have six letters. (Rev 13:18)

Reagan's first film was the 666th film released by Hollywood.

Reagan's final California house address number was 666 before Nancy had it changed to 668.

On election day of 1980, 666 was the winning lottery number in both New Jersey and Maryland.

In 1984, on the Saturday after his re-election, 666 was again the winning lottery number in Maryland. It was sold out, making it the number with the most winners until that point in time.

In his first speech as President Reagan mentioned the number 666 as the cost in dollars that was added to new cars by government regulations.

Reagan's first budget predicted 666 billion dollars in government revenues.

Reagan's re-election campaign cost 66.6 million dollars.

Reagan's first primary victory in the California Governors race came in 6/66

July 6, 1999 California votes to produce Reagan license plates in a 66 to 6 vote.

Reagan was shot and wounded and recovered from the wound. (Rev 13:3).

[L0oniX]

13. I noticed it when I was playing my Beatles records backwards.

:sarcasm:

[FarLeftFist]

17. I just wanted to know if their was any symbolism to that or if anyone knew.

I like a good old fashioned conspiracy theory but I know when not to cross the line into the looney bin. Heres what I've dug up:

"Did you know that the Republicans changed the stars in their official elephant logo to three stars downward in the year 2000, the very year in which Skull & Bones George Bush was "elected" President? This Republican logo is the traditional elephant logo as this book front page cover demonstrates. The book is entitled, "The Pictorial History of the Republican Party", by Beryl Frank, published in 1980. As you can see, the stars on this elephant logo are the same as the traditional stars on an American Flag. On the GOP's official website the stars are facing downward. Click here to see. GOP.com

In witchcraft the pentangle is used with the "head" of the star pointed down, illustrating man worshiping Satan. When pointed down it also becomes the face of the goat. Satanists use a pentagram with two points up, often inscribed in a double circle to emphasize the exclusion of God, and sometimes with the head of a goat inside the pentagram. Why would a nation based on Christian principles install as its leader someone who was a member of a secretive satanic cult called Skull and Bones? After 8 years of leading our country deeper into the squalid sewer of torture and political corruption, it seems a little late to be asking such questions. But for the record, my understanding is that the stars were inverted and turned upside down when Bush was appointed president. They weren’t like that before."

[Ian David]

18. Yes. Thom Hartmann has talked about that.

13. Have you noticed they're still using the Satanic star on the elephant on the new website?

Republicans are the Party of Satan.

19. Cool.

[Tailormyst]

self delete

sorry, dupe

[Tailormyst]

20. Actually it's not satanic nor is it a pentagram

It's an upside down star. Even if it were within a circle, the only thing satanic about it is conjured up by hollywood.

For note: An Inverted Pentagram is the symbol for a Second degree initiate (Priest or Priestess) in more traditional forms of Wicca.

[liberalmuse]

21. No, but now it all makes sense.

[Forkboy]

24. If they're into Satan they're posers.

25. Make a great "Spread this to everyone you know" email

for your irritation right wing friends and relatives.

[guitar man]

27. Easy to explain

It's because the GOP is going off the rails on the Crazy Train :crazy:

[bridgit]

29. Well, if I didn't think republicans were so fucking stupid about virtually everything else...

I'd say they were messaging themselves as the antithesis of Leonardo's Vetruvian Man - but it does seem perfectly clear that republicans are anti-up & pro-down

[Hestia]

30. When the Pentagram is inverted, it means Material over Spiritual, which describes 'pugs to a T

Yes, I have noticed that.
