Why are the stars on the Republican elephant upside down?

Um..it's been YEARS since I took Latin, but I'm REALLY sure that it's actually "New Secular Order." New World Order would be Nova Orda Terram (Cause I think Terra is feminine, etc....) Although I suppose the argument could be made that the words might as well mean "New World Order"...

You are right, of course, but the point is to sell stupid books to gullible people.

I don't think their down so much as differnet from the democrats. The dem party was founded first. I assume the Republican was formed in defense. The story of why Republicans have an elephant and dems a donkey is funny. Anyone know it?

[BellStar]

That is the old Elephant. What you call an upside down star is the symbol for the Eastern Star that pointed to the manger of the baby Jesus. It was stolen by the pagans. The uninformed in ancient symbols usually make the assumption that it is a pentagram not knowing about the Eastern Star or in some cases the baby Jesus.

Whew! The lone star on the Texas state flag is not a symbol of satan!

I've saddled horses, and watched others with llamas, camels, and even an elephant, and the blanket was always put on from the animal's left side. Ergo the design, that is symetrical on the blanket, would look upside down on the right side.

Turn the ass around and see if that happens. :^)

Forget the star. Why does the elephant have no head? And why does the donkey have no...........

seems to me they lean to the right like our philosophy

"a symbol of the goddess Kore"

Sounds to much like GORE....It must be EVIL

They're not upside down ... they lean to the right. ;o)

Except for the occasions when some moron doesn't know which way is up and flies the flag upside down.

[ahariail]

I may be incorrect here. But I thought that one of the reasons that the Eastern Star was considered Satanic was that it is associated with Venus (the planet) in the morning sky, which the Romans call Lucifer.

Originally, the word "Lucifer" only meant Venus in the morning sky. Later authors, perhaps Dante, took this name to refer to Satan.

Any thoughts on this?

they are not upside down ... they're twirling on the right leg! (:^>

The donkey's stars are just sitting there going nowhere.

The elephant's stars are rolling.

[BellStar]

That all may be true. The star in the east is used as the symbol for the Eastern Star. I know little of, nor do I care, what the pagans/neo-pagans do or think. The Eastern Star was hijacked from it's Creator who used it's long tail to point to his Son my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

You know, I've always been suspicious about this:

Any ideas?

They're not upside down, they're just leaning to the RIGHT
