This is how I know you're a wacko. Because your logic is insane. If you pray that I'll eventually see the truth, you need to pray even harder that you yourself do. You're the one who distorts reality.

If you were all that smart, you'd know that there were people, even 500 years ago, who theorized that the planet was round. People were burned as heretics for lots of other things than their theories of world topography/shape, chiefly their religious beliefs. If you weren't so absurd, you'd use another example to try and illustrate your own opposition to the mainstream. You've used that one repeatedly, and I can only gather it's because it's the only comparison you know.

Well, let's see. You'll say that images of Roman fasces in our capitol are because they're fascist and will base that on the fact that that image was chosen for use by Italian fascists and because the word "fascist" itself has the same root word. But if you were able to step back and look at the image itself and learn some art history--as you need to do with the spread eagle, too--you'll see that the fasces symbol of power and jurisdiction is far older than Italian fascism and that that image, like the spread eagle, has been used over and over again by various civilizations in architectures throughout history, not all of them fascist. Ask any art or architecture historian to confirm this for you and he will. Only conspiracists believe there's anything inherently sinister in that image. You conspiracists believe there's sinister meaning in classic visual motifs because your paranoiac minds desperately need to attach dangerous meaning where there actually is none. Just like you do here.

Little tip for you, GS. I'm a lot smarter than you can even fathom.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Fascist Symbols from Napoleon to Bush Hmm. This is interesting. Look at these photos and you will see fascist symbols from Napoleon to Hitler, to Bush. Especially notice in the painting of Napoleon, the eagle with its wings spread out. That is a typical symbol of fascist nations. Notice too on Aleister Crowley's certificate of becoming a 33rd degree mason, on top...the fascist eagle with the Illuminati triangle. Rating: 5
