11. Once upon a time...

"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."

The Original 13th Amendment
This Article of Amendment, ratified in 1819 and which just "disappeared" in 1876, added an enforceable strict penalty, i.e., inability to hold office and loss of citizenship, for violations of the already existing constitutional prohibition in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 on titles of nobility and other conflicts of citizenship interest, such as accepting emoluments of any kind for services or favors rendered or to be rendered, and is particularly applicable today in the 21st Century as government is increasingly FOR SALE to the highest bidder, as foreign and multinational corporations and individuals compete to line the pockets of politicians and political parties to accommodate and purchase protection or privilege, i.e. honors, for their special interests.

[UTUSN]

[FoxNewsSucks]

25. King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit ~Presented for bushs Service to the state of Saudi Arabia, I presume.

King Abdulaziz Order of Merit -- A general order of merit for service to Saudi Arabia. The order is awarded in commemoration of the founder of the kingdom for meritorious service while in government office, for extraordinary deeds of bravery, and for other deeds of service to the state. For Saudi Arabian nationals, all appointments must initially be to the fourth class and, thereafter, appointments to the higher classes are made by promotion within the order only after a minimum of five years of service in the lower class. For members of the house of al-Saud and non-Saudi Arabian nationals, appointments to higher classes may take place independent of the requirements for promotion within the order. Established: By King Faisal ibn Abdulaziz and Decisions No. 122 and No. 123 of the Council of Ministers, 24 Muharram 1391 A.H. (20 March 1971 C.E.). Obverse: A seven-pointed gold star, enameled white, with gold branches between the arms. In the center, a white-enameled, green-edged, and seven-pointed star, with a green-enameled inscription "Abdul-Aziz al-Saud" on white in the circular central medallion. Suspended by a crescent, crossed swords, and a bundle of leaves. Ribbon: Green, with yellow edge stripes. Awards: For Saudi Arabian nationals, all appointments are to the fourth class (a maximum of one hundred per year). Thereafter, and after a minimum of five years of service in a lower class, members of the order may be appointed to the next highest class. Annual limits on numbers of promotions are as follows: 3rd class, eighty people; 2nd class, sixty people; 1st class, forty people; and distinguished class, twenty people. The first award of the first class of this order to a non-Arab (non-Saudi?) officer was that awarded to U.S. General H. Norman Schwartzkopf, Jr., in the aftermath of Gulf War II.

King Abdul Aziz Chain - a 14 carat gold chain with alternating depictions of the Saudi insignia and green- and red-enameled designs - suspended from this is a 120 mm gold badge of the order

King Abdul Aziz Sash - a sash (worn over ??? shoulder), 60 mm silver-gilt badge, and 60 mm breast star (worn on ??? breast)

distinguished class - a 80 mm silver-gilt neck badge and 80 mm gold breast star (worn on ??? breast)

first class - a 60 mm silver-gilt ?? mm neck badge and 60 mm silver breast star (worn on ??? breast)

second class - a 60 mm silver-gilt neck badge

third class - a 41 mm silver-gilt breast badge with yellow-enameled design in the center medallion

fourth class - a 41 mm unenameled silver breast badge

[Cooley Hurd]

31. Bling from the King. Isn't that precious...

[KatyaR]

[Stephanie]

48. they just said on MSNBC that the saudis offered to lower oil to $30

But the US said, no, let the free market determine the price. Have you heard of this?

[earth mom]

35. Is there any doubt of his allegiance to the Saudis and not the U.S.?

:puke:

[lonestarnot]

36. No and there wasn't before he got the trinket.

[Brewman_Jax]

[Liberal In Texas]

44. A small token of OPEC's esteem for driving oil prices over $100/bbl.

I wonder what he'll get when prices break the $200/bbl mark.

[SIMPLYB1980]

46. Fuck Bush.

:puke:

[FSogol]

47. George and Abdullah: BFF Forever!!!!!!

I bet Harriet Meyers is furious.

:rofl:

[dave123williams]

50. I can barely read the inscription, but...I think it says 'World's Most Witless Tool' in Arabic.

[LeftyMom]

52. and Bush let Abdullah wear his class ring and letter jacket, so everybody'd know they're gong steady

[sakabatou]

53. Stupid monkey

"He has yet to figure out that it's cursed."

[RadiationTherapy]

56. Lookit that fuckin thing!

No, there are no "secret societies" that run the world behind the scenes who like to rub their occult symbols in our ignorant, useless eating faces.

Don't bother telling me the "true meaning" behind that amulet, I am not interested. As far as I am concerned, Bush got a promotion in rank. What else are they going to do? Give him more money??


Bush et al:

I laugh in your 'ruling' faces til I drool on my shirt and foam on your neck. You have no capacity for love and you worship darkness. You will be fucked for all eternity and you will never know the simple pleasures. Fuck you and your loveless family and 'brethren'.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

57. Does this mean that they're engaged now?
