GOPUSA's left wing.


"The GOPUSA Right Wing

GOPUSA's logo -- the GOPUSA Right Wing -- takes its roots from the strength, power, and freedom represented by America's bald eagle and the love of aviation and aerospace engineering of GOPUSA's co-founder, president, and CEO, Dr. Robert R. Eberle.

The logo was always intended to be an eagle or an eagle's wing, but the idea of making the logo abstract, and not simply a direct picture or drawing, was a guiding parameter in the design process.

What started out as a drawing of an eagle in flight evolved into a focus on simply the wing, and then eventually, an abstract rendering of that wing. The result is GOPUSA's Right Wing. It is distinct, unique, and something that has come to represent the vision of GOPUSA, even if observers aren't really sure what it is."

Am I the only person that thinks this image represents a left wing?
The curvature and taper would indicate the head or top is on the right which, if I'm not mistaken, would make this the left wing.

The only way it can be the right wing is if the eagle (or plane) were on it's back.

Maybe that's the point.

2. Well...
You see if you're UNDER the bird, it's a right wing. Which makes sense because GOPUSA is about to shit on you..

3. That must be why I didn't see it.
It didn't occur to me to be under the bird. Probably a defense mechanism against just such a thing.

4. No self-respecting eagle would ever have a wing that looked like
that. That's a wing of a seagull.

6. It doesn't look like a wing to me at all.
It looks like a thumb and a clawlike forefinger. Kind of creepy looking to me.
:scared:
