| | The Six-Point Star of David, the Oldest Flag in the World? |
 | | And when the glorified Jesus returns to earth with the saints of all Ages -- after Armageddon destroys all life -- He will be in the Office of Son of David, and King. | | | In 1822 the "Magen David" was adopted by the Ashkenazim (Khazar) self-styled Jew, Mayer Amschel Bauer who hung a red hexagram on his door to identify his address. | | | Thereafter it began to be attributed to king David, appearing on the Jewish Flag in Prague in 1527. |

| | My comment was not that David Duke was a racist and having a hard time shaking it off, but that David, due to the Zionist media, is having a hard time getting away from this label that the Zionists charged him with in order to destroy him and destroy his political ambitions. | | | David Duke in an article published on September 13, 2001 — I believe that time will prove that this attack, if committed by Muslims, was motivated by America’s Israeli-controlled foreign policy. | | | David Duke is branded a terrible “hate criminal” for non-violently and decently warning us of exactly what has transpired in France. |

| | Therefore, when an individual wears one of them as a badge, he or she is proclaiming his or her loyalty to the sovereign authority--the Crown--and not to government of the day, the land, the Constitution, or the people. | | | Palac in his response to this list was correct in that the colors were officially part of the 1921 proclamation by George V. I have also consulted the Canadian government server. | | | Red and white are the national colours of Canada since 1921 (when they were proclaimed by King George V on the recommendation of the Canadian Government). |

| | The "first account" to which the writer refers is the Gospel according to Saint Luke, whose feast day is today on both the traditional and reformed Roman calendar. | | | The calendar of saints also includes supporters of opposing contenders to the papal throne during the Great Schism. | | | In Spanish-speaking areas around the world -- from Mexico City to Metro Manila -- yesterday as the Feast of All Saints, and today as the Feast of All Souls, are known collectively as "Days of the Dead." It invariably involves having picnics in a cemetery, near the remains of one's ancestors. |

| | Saint David - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | David contrasts with other national patron saints such as England's St George, in that relatively much is known about his life. | | | It is significant that David is said to have denounced Pelagianism during the incident before the ground rose beneath him. | | | As son of King Gwyddno, David was grandson of King Ceredig, nephew of King Maelgwn of Gwynedd, and brother of Elphin, the heir to the Kingdom of Ceredigion and the foster-father and first patron of the bard Taliesin. |

| | Not that I'm complaining about Saint David's Day - there can, after all, be few festivals in the world that make the wearing of vegetables on lapels socially acceptable.But I do have a slightly ambivalent relationship with Saint David. | | | But even the cynical side of me has to agree that it's good to have a day to celebrate a saint who at least actually lived within the country that decided to patronise him. | | | Surprising, that is, if it wasn't for a twelfth-century monk who wanted to, well, let's say slightly embroider the truth in order to try and maintain the independence of the Welsh church, and thought that David would make a suitable figurehead for his campaign. |
