Who’s behind the GOP? I don’t know… could it be… SATAN?! [Politics Suck]

goplogo.jpgSomething isn’t quite right about the GOP’s logo.  Maybe it’s the elephant.  No, that’s not it.  Maybe it’s the downward pointing stars that grace the elephant’s flank.  Yeah, maybe that’s it.  For the party associated with good, upstanding Christian values and witch hunts against fake Satanists, you’d think that by now someone– someone in the GOP would have pointed out that downward facing 5-pointed stars have been associated in the past with Devil worship– the single point facing down turning the humble 5 pointed star into the goat face of Satan.

But oddly enough, no one has pointed this out until now.  Not until recently.  According to Mother Jones, the change to upward-facing to downward-facing stars happened in 2000.

Hmmm… what else happened in 2000?

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something did.

There has been a little bit of outrage in the GOP community, oddly enough it’s somehow blamed on liberals:

“I have a feeling some neo-pagan democratic designed this logo,” wrote a commenter on the conservative web site Free Republic. Besides like-minded rants that the design is a huge slap in the Grand Old Party’s face, some online chat-room goers speculated that the inverted stars are linked to secret society symbolism.
