Keep the Republic

A blog dedicated to expressing faith in God, hope in America, and a conviction to preserve the principles on which the nation was founded. Benjamin Franklin, after the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, was asked by a concerned citizen of Philadelphia what type of government had been created after four months of closed-door meetings by the delegates; he responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

Red state misunderstanding

Apparently Norwegians, as well as Wonkette, misunderstood the president's "Hook 'em Horns" salute, familiar to the University of Texas, as a salute to Satan. This gesture, probably familiar to most red-staters, or at least those in the Midwest and Southwest, is too confusing for some, who automatically assume that the president they scorn for his religious beliefs (remember "Jesusland"?) would openly salute the Prince of Darkness on Bush's Inauguration Day.
