Obama Changes Presidential Seal Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:53 PM Sen. Barack Obama has promised "change," and his campaign has already been hard at work changing one of the basic symbols of the nation — the Presidential Seal. On Friday, the press was abuzz over the new seal, which was unveiled on Obama's podium when he spoke to a group of Democratic governors. While the Obama seal does include the American bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, the resemblance ends there. The Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum," which translates to "Out of many, one," now says "Vero Possumus." Press reports translate the Latin words as "Truly, we are able" — a rough translation of the Obama campaign slogan, "Yes we can." The deletion of "E Pluribus Unum," long considered the de-facto motto of the United States, is not accidental for multiculturalists, who have long denigrated the concept that immigrants must strip away their old culture in favor of the "oneness" of American civilization. In the 1990s, such activists promoted the alternative concept of the nation's ethnic "mosaic," rather than a single, overarching metaphor to describe American society. For example, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has pointedly criticized the "E Pluribus Unum" motto as not reflecting the nation's diversity. Other Obama changes to the seal include the removal of the shield over the eagle's breast, representing the president's oath to defend the Constitution. The shield has been replaced with the letter "O" — presumably for Obama — and the image of a rising sun. "This is too serious a contest about too serious of issues for a candidate to be playing make-believe on the trail," Brian Rogers, a spokesman for presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, told The Los Angeles Times. © 2008 Newsmax. All rights reserved.

This guy must be doing coke right now. I thought this was from the onion.
I did, too. Face it. We're fucked. The only decision you have to make now is the manner in which you will die...and whether or not you go alone or take a few with you.
"....There are two views of the world which stand eternally and implacably opposed to each other. One view seeks to place everything in the glare of day. Its understanding is bounded by that which can be dissected on the operating table of science. What cannot be seen does not exist. What cannot be brought into the light is not there. This is a world whose symbol is the sun that never waxes or wanes. It is always the same unblinking eye of fire. This is the world that wants to murder the night - to turn it into day. But there is another world - and another people. A people that counts its seasons by the moon. A people who will emerge out of a deep darkness, just like the new moon that seems to renew itself out of a pitch black sky. A people in its darkest hour just before dawn. A people who lifts its gaze above the fluorescent glare of a world that knows no night. ================== The only decision you have to make now is the manner in which you will die...and whether or not you go alone or take a few with you. http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Mal/4/2.html http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Eze/Eze038.html#18 / http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Rom/Rom009.html#6.... http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Rev/Rev021.html#22,23.....
