Lenin to Vader

evolving thread drift...

Since we moved in August we’ve been visiting used-furniture and thrift stores.
Last week, my wife picked up some plain wine glasses… no big deal.
Then yesterday was a different kind of day - wind, rain, dreary, fog,.
My wife decided to have a glass of wine and picked up one of the new glasses.

Then things started going wrong.
… tree limb breaking, dog barking, tv on the blitz, heat ducts emitting “something”, asthma,
… and my yelled me: “Bill, come look at this ! “
Her wine glass had an figure ground into the side… the G.O.P. elephant.

Now we're usually not “weird” people.
But my wildly liberal wife has this one thing:

“ You DON”T MESS with the occult ! “

I’ve know of her thing for several years ... but the GOP elephant ???

My day improved on finding this website that follows the GOP emblem starting with Boss Tweed in 1873.
Political Animal: The Ever-Evolving Republican Elephant Logo

It seems that in 2000, the GOP changed their logo.
Why ? I have no idea, no one else seems to know either.
But there is a lot on the internet about the orientation of printed star.
and the good and evil of “ Baphomet “, the Knights Templar, etc.


Was it by design or something more sinister ?
Does the Tea Party know about this?
Maybe the RNC is in league with the Prince Of Darkness
– the other one, not Dick Cheney.
