I HUMBLY SUBMIT THE NEW AMERICAN BATTLE STANDARD
POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT - SEPTEMBER 15, AD 2012 7:06 PM MST
I was approached and asked if I would design a collection of t-shirts, and I said, "Sure. That would be fun."At first the t-shirt company wanted to design a line with my name and the "Barnhardt" logo above. My response? "Um, absolutely not." Remember gentlemen, there is nothing more sorry, weak and effete than a guy who voluntarily walks around with another man's (or woman's) name on his shirt. Any man who would ever wear a sports jersey with some moron athlete's name, or a t-shirt with some psychopathic politician's name or image on it, is a whipped, balless disgrace to manhood. No self-respecting man would have ever been caught dead wearing another man's name or image up until . . . the late 1960's. Coincidence? I think not.
Anyway, it occurred to me that what we need in these days is a crest. What we need is a BATTLE STANDARD. We need something that clearly identifies us as people of God, while still harkening to the American aesthetic, but different from the American flag.
As I have said many, many times, the First American Republic is dead. We are now tasked with the establishment of a Second American Republic. Sadly, Old Glory, as beautiful as it is, is the flag that today flies over the Obama regime's headquarters, formerly called The White House, and flies over that hive of scum and villainy, the former U.S. Capitol.
We need a new crest and standard to differentiate us from people who, it can no longer be denied, are the enemy of this nation and of God Himself. And so, inspired by the crest and battle standard of the Vendee after my research earlier this summer, here is what we came up with:
The Heart with the Cross emerging is the Sacred Heart of Jesus, just as the Vendee used, and because you just can't go wrong marching under the Banner of Jesus Christ. Just ask Constantine how things went for him after adopting the Labarum as his battle standard.
We changed the motto from "For God and King" because that obviously doesn't apply to us, and instead chose the excellent motto "For God and Country."
We changed the background field to blue to symbolize the sky and heaven, and also to represent water, which God always uses to symbolize NEW CREATION and FREEDOM FROM SIN.
The stars are an interesting story. I was originally thinking of doing thirteen stars to harken back to the thirteen original colonies, but the graphic designer, quite independently, sent me a proof with five stars. When I investigated the symbology of the numbers five and thirteen, I learned something new. The symbology of thirteen has always been Judas Iscariot (the 13th Apostle) and thus the concept of BETRAYAL itself. This is the genesis of the "unlucky number 13."
In contrast, the number five symbolizes the FIVE WOUNDS OF CHRIST. And isn't that exactly right. The First American Republic, like Judas Iscariot, was chosen and favored by God, but eventually chose to betray Him. The Second American Republic can only succeed if we acknowledge our betrayal of God, repent, and return to Him, ever mindful of the Five Wounds of Christ which we inflicted. Thus, the five stars are an explicit acknowledgement of our sins against God, and our trust in His grace to heal us.
You can pick a white or black shirt - both look sharp - and then choose a saying that you would like on the back of the shirt. We are starting with five different choices of saying, but will be rolling out dozens over the coming weeks, usually five at a time. Some sayings will be from saints, some will be scripture passages, and some will be from various secular sources, like George Washington and George Orwell.
We are starting with four quotes from St. Joan of Arc and one scripture passage. Each is extremely relevant today. They are:
"Act, and God will act."
-St. Joan of Arc
"I am not afraid ... I was born to do this."
-St. Joan of Arc
"I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will."
-St. Joan of Arc
"One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying."
-St. Joan of Arc
"The Lord is as a man of war. Almighty is his name."
-Exodus 15:3
The shirts are $20 each and are made using Fruit of the Loom's highest-quality cotton t-shirt. The sizes are unisex medium through XXXL.
I'm supposed to get $4 per shirt, but since I have declared a tax strike, we'll have to figure something else out there. I'm not sure what yet, but rest assured, any monies that do end up coming to me will NOT be taxed by Caesar. Guaranteed.
If you see fit to make a purchase, send me a pic (you can edit out your head if you like), as I would love to see folks proudly wearing our new crest and standard, proudly displaying the Sacred Heart of Jesus. How awesome would it be to see our servicemen wearing these as undershirts too? And hey, what a great conversation-starter, eh?
