Anyone notice the McCain 'Country First' signs in Hershey?
Isn't the five-pointed star a symbol for the five wounds suffered by Jesus on the cross? Many Christians in this area have a star on their shed, barn or garage.

4. Or "Satanic"....
Depending on which way it's pointing.

Not coincidentally, the 5 pointed stars on the RNC elephant logo have been pointing down (the "Satanic" way) since Chimpy was installed as pResident........

Old GOP logo....


New GOP logo (post 2000) .... :evilgrin:

6. Yes, but not just one.
I believe the single star was meant to suggest that, first and foremost, our country is a Christian nation.

13. It's also used in the design of some sheriff's badges, and even a one star general...
has such a 5pt'd star


etc, and so on but I hear you, I also hear your concern with respect to 'christian symbolism'...Maybe better the star didn't incorporate the Stations of The Cross ;)

14. My mistake. ,
After a close examination of my neighbors sign, I can see it's actually the point of a drill bit.

7. Not so dumb.
Talk to someone with the sign and find out what the single star means to them. I really get tired of assholes like you.

9. Really. So Kerry was sending a subliminal message with his single star?


And Al Gore:

And Bill Clinton:

and Dennis Kucinich: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marcn/2175665818/

Yeah. Dumb. Really dumb.

10. The four ptolemiac elements
Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, Surmounted by Spirit.

Somehow, McSame and Caribou Barby seem unworthy of it.
