Thank you, Secretary Rice. Finally, a rational voice from within the government to pro-actively debunk the Idiot Culture that is convinced the Great Seal is some sort of Freemason-led New World Order medallion.Point-by-point the State Department makes clear such seemingly obvious facts like the prominence of the number "13" being representative of the 13 original colonies and not some Satanic numerology. Duh! And, yes, Washington and Franklin were Freemasons, but they had nothing to do with the creation of the Seal. And so on. Facts that should be readily evident to anyone with an IQ higher than a toaster oven.
But, of course, the legions of stupid people who still (tragically) comprise a huge swath of the American heartland will distrust even the quite credible Ms. Rice.
Oh, well. Let's go see National Treasure again!
