Upside Down Stars on GOP Logo?

[sidster]

I asked this in another thread before that thread got locked (for other
reasons), so I'm asking again...

Anyone know why the stars on the GOP logo are upside down?

Curious...

not sure why it's that way, but Satanists like to invert things. *shrug*

It's just like the US army uniforms, how the flag is backwards...of course, they tell us "it was a mistake", yet they haven't corrected it and continue to make them "incorrectly"

No, the reason the US Army does it that way is so that it doesn't look like the stripes are retreating to foreigners. Of course, to Americans, it does look like we are retreating.

So manly the star looks like an Satan star If you look close enough.

In the caucuses here in Washington I offered a resolution to get it corrected so it would work its way up to someone with a voice important enough to wake national up. Nothing else seemed to be working.

I have no idea how the stars got turned up. I you could find the source it would probably be sourced to "made in China". But, that's not the only place I've seen the inverted stars. One was on a huge background flag behind Clinton as she spock at a ralley.

There is another thread about symbolism - Is there a six-pointed star in US Congress?

*shrugs* Maybe they were like me in not knowing that stars had a "correct" position.

The stars flipped some time in the early 70s. They were purposely turned upside down into pentagrams. Who knows why? Prolly the same reason bush was reading a book about a goat on the morning of 911.........

Those are diagonal stars, not upside down stars.

Interesting perspective, but the apex of the stars are clearly
pointing south.

Check out the GOP logo image (clicky) from OP.

That's a really strange and somewhat vague reason--every time I've read and heard about the flag, it was to be displayed with the field to the upper left...regardless of the situation.

What about a flying flag? The stars would be on opposite sides
depending on approach vector.
