I never did find out what the bottom thingie on this patch is supposed to represent.
And the original article we saw it in on FR has gone down the memory hole...

In his press conference on December 20th, President Obama urged the House of Representatives to support the Senate’s immigration bill, which passed 68-32 in late June. Among the concerns cited by Americans who oppose reform are that immigrants will take their jobs, drive down wages, increase criminal activity, burden the welfare system, and reshape the cultural dynamic of the country. These concerns are mostly ill-founded. The legitimate concerns have real solutions, and a more open immigration policy will be a net benefit for all Americans...
Highlights from Article:
- A 2013 study by the American Action Forum states that "immigration reform can raise population growth, labor force growth, and thus growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).”
- In 2013 the Bipartisan Policy Center came to similar conclusions. It makes the prediction that current provisions, as included in the Senate Bill, would raise GDP 4.8 percent over twenty years.
- According to the Immigration Policy Center, immigrant males between the ages of 18 and 39 (which constitute the greatest portion of the prison population) are five times less likely to be incarcerated than are natives.
- A 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that 92 percent of second generation and 96 percent of third generation Hispanics speak English proficiently.
- A 2010 Gallup poll revealed that Hispanics attend church services more often than non-Hispanic whites.
- Since an influx of immigrants means an expansion of the labor supply, many assert that the result will be less jobs and lower wages. However, as asserted by Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, “The number of jobs in the United States is not static. It’s fluid, which is how we want it to be.”

And yes, it is exciting and fun!
Interesting, for certain. “The rootless tree falls”. It’s good to know where you came from.

I’ll say one thing for her...she knows how to sing! That was an unusual song, really. The range of notes is far beyond anything I’d ever be capable of.
*sigh*
Thanks T-c. The message of that song was a welcomed break and as am continuing to listen ... It makes me happy to hear such a delicate song sung.
It’s supposed to be a dragon.
I don’t know if I could sing it or not - haven’t tried yet. Sometimes I surprise myself.
That's not Baphomet. Looks more like a tribal patterned deer skull. Much ado...
Nope. There was a fairly innocuous thread on FR that got nuked. Too much truth, I guess.
I called the Ohio Nat’ Guard historian and never heard back. Just sent the same question via email.
Beautiful songs ... All three!
I believe you could sing it. I believe your range and quality are such that you would do it beautifully. And you no doubt WOULD surprise yourself. But you wouldn’t surprise me! ;o]
Bet between the two of you, each of you surprises the other in song.
I’ll take a run at it later. NTI, you’re close enough that I might break your windows if there’s an F-sharp or G on there ... not to mention dogs howling and cats going under beds ...
Dead Corpse ~ Looks more like a tribal patterned deer skull.
Even if your guesses are correct, what threat that the 52nd would address does it represent?
I sing tenor with a very limited range. Not good quality unless I’m singing with someone who has a stronger voice and more quality. Been there...
My older sister and I used to sing for school assemblies, but we also sang in church choirs. She even learned to sing Czech choir hymns.
Not me. I won’t sing solo: She will.
I would be interested to know how you do!
One or both of you are fooling again. Don’t know which one is fooling but it can’t be both of you ... can it? Better play this one safe ... Both of youies is fooling. That’s right ... I’m the fool. Think I’ll become a clown.
