It more closely resembles FDR’s Blue Eagle NIRA/NRA logo.

Some won’t notice the logo change can be silent until it’s to late.

I’m not sure what the eagle is supposed to be holding in his left claw, but it looks too close to SS lightning bolts.


Electrification, especially rural electrification was a big part of the New Deal. The N.R.A. was supposed to be voluntary, but the government exerted popular pressure to force business big and small to join.

Prices, wages, and hours were strictly governed so much so that the case that went to SCOTUS that struck down N.R.A. had to do with how many ducks were being hauled on a truck. One guy hauling too many ducks ‘deprived’ another guy of a duck-truck job.

I’ve read that the Philadelphia Eagles football team took their name from the NRA eagle.

Rural electrification was a big deal back then. Figure it out.

I have absolutely no respect (in fact, open contempt) for people who see National Socialist imagery in everything they look at. And I'm adding "concerning" to my list of bullshit words.

The most interesting part of this is why Nazism is such and major point of discussion now. 70 years later. We have lost the essence, but it is still a useful tool for many.

If anyone says our Pledge of Allegiance now, they put their hands on their heart. Does anyone know what we did before Hitler?

You nailed it. My father schooled me very well in what FDR did to the country. If you put my screen name and "FDR, Rejected at the Gates of Hell" into a search engine, you might come across a very lively thread nearly 20 years old which was posted on this very forum.

The left loves to create and promote hard times because it gives them the excuse to expand the power and reach of top down, one size fits all big government.

There are two correct answers to your question.

One of them is this:

The other answer is nothing, because the Pledge was not codified into U.S. law until 1942.

It looks like the UFW United farm workers flag.

Also, the USA...

Benjamin Franklin thought the turkey should be the national bird instead of the eagle. In a 1784 letter addressed to Sarah, his daughter, Franklin wrote: "For my own part I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country. He is a bird of bad moral character.

Why didn’t they use a soaring eagle instead of a spread eagle?
