Jesus delivering the Constitution to the Founding Fathers and all of us, even you (but not liberals)

[Bucky]

http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/artwork/view_zoom/?artpiece_id=353# <=== Hilarious close text explanations for all of the little pictures there... warning us against humanists & liberals and other enemies of America.

[Razoor]

1. i dont even know what to say about that picture

kinda odd.

[Bucky]

2. Kneel before Jesus, Lord of America, and thank God for His Holy Constitution. Amen.

:banghead:

[scentopine]

4. perfectly captures the how republicans see america-

-this is what the christian nut jobs call eduction, nothing more than a collection of symbols and easy lies. What is amazing is how they mention Lincoln, just some guy who was shot. Is that supposed to be a warning? In Texas, this is what our school board would be forcing teachers to teach.

The right wing is turning us into a nation of freaks.

[armyowalgreens]

3. This is why I hate organized religion.

:argh:

[SkyDaddy7]

16. The reality is many of the Founding Fathers...

...Also hated organized religion! The idea America was founded as a Christian Nation is joke! The Masons played a much larger role in crafting our Constitution than did the Christians. Not that I am a fan of the Masons but I would take them over organized religion any day!

Free speech and relying on reason and rational thought not Christianity is what many of our founding fathers used as guidance.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. the masons also had another important word involved: Free

as in free thinking, freedom, freemasons.

[SkyDaddy7]

29. Praise the FSM!!!

[CJCRANE]

5. Shouldn't that be "the Conservatution"...

The actual US Constitution has far too many socialeftist buzzwords like "we the people", "rights", "government" etc.

[lonestarnot]

6. Idiots!

[geckosfeet]

7. How illuminating - of their fears, ignorance and misunderstanding. The artist clearly

has a revisionist perspective of the religious views of the founding fathers (Thomas Jefferson lined up behind Jesus!? - give it a rest).

This is a fine example of the modern day rural primitive propaganda style. It exhibits the classic misunderstanding of history, fear of the world outside of their sphere of existence and understanding, and a narrow intolerant regionalist view of religions role in our country.

[TrogL]

32. Authoritarian thinking at its best

[mediaman007]

8. Blasphemy!

They believe that Jesus only loves them. The rest of His creations are made for target practice.

[Botany]

9. What an idiot ..... Thomas Jefferson in his Jesus loves America pix?

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government
reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their "legislature" should "make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in
behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in
opposition to his social duties. T. Jefferson

[Dogmudgeon]

14. And Frederick Douglas (sic). And Ben Franklin. And Thomas Payne (sic).

And about five or six other outspoken Freethinkers, Deists, Atheists, and Agnostics -- McNaughton isn't particular.

Or maybe he's really an atheist and this is his form of coded communication to his Satanic Masters. Or not.

--d!
(On edit: I forgot to properly spell McNaughton's misspellings.)

[Botany]

27. Fredrick Douglass & Tom Paine?

What a moran. If you can stomach it click on the "interview" w/ the artist.

Teddy Roosevelt was too liberal but he still put him in the picture & decorated combat
vet and WW II hero JFK kinda loved America.

[d_b]

10. ...

:rofl:

[Fumesucker]

11. That's not the Constitution..

It's the long form birth certificate..

Bada bing, bada boom.. :evilgrin:

[Stevenmarc]

12. Why is Lincoln doing an Al Jolson imitation

[Botany]

15. The sunshines east, the sunshines west but I know where the sunshines best

..... :rofl:

[zazen]

13. and their captions remind me of bad Freshman writing

"Mr Hollywood. He represents your entertainment business in America. It is very apparent that there is a liberal slant with Hollywood. He looks down at the judge and pregnant woman with ridicule and amusement."

It's too early to do a full-blown rhetorical analysis. . . but I guess it's just their unfounded generalizations that emanate from their oral world of crazy theories, that they try to turn into "formal writing," as if that turns it into a statement of fact. Kind of like their idiotic Intelligent Design museum.

And talk about weird projections--people in Hollywood ridicule pregnant women? WTF?!

[old mark]

17. The picture is a perfect example of representational art the RWers

would love to have as the only type of permissable art in the God Fearing USofA.
There is even a black man (1) in the crowd.

[zazen]

25. it's weird that they include Susan B. Anthony and give a "neutral" description

given that they represent every social force that attempts to restrain women from full participation in society.

Usually they try to co-opt the civil rights movement but not women's rights. Like, where's Martin Luther King? I can't believe they didn't co-opt his identity. Maybe they actually comprehend that his message was equally about class inequalities and therefore even more subversive than is commonly understood.

[old mark]

44. It's obviously contemporary - I had no idea anyone was doing

stuff like this anymore - I'd actually like to see the original.

[NMMNG]

47. They also fail to mention she was an atheist

who had no use for their God or the kind of people who always know just what he wants them to do (particularly what he wants them to do to other people).

[Lucy Goosey]

18. As a Canadian, this is really the kind of thing that reminds me...

that, in spite of all of our superficial similarities, in spite of all the American pop culture we consume, our countries are very different in some key ways. I just don't see that kind of painting being done here, even by our conservative christians. For example, a former leader of the Conservative Party once said that he believed dinosaurs and humans had coexisted and the earth was under 10,000 years old; he was universally ridiculed in the media and forced out of his leadership. In the US, mainstream media outlets can't go after the "bible is literal truth" crowd the same way.

I really find this painting fascinating!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

22. what is worse, that 15-20 years ago, we would have done the same thing.

Flat earthers were laughed at. And then newt and his grinches took over, and conspired with the religious reich. From there, it was a sad step into a quasi-religious nation, with the separation of church and state being dismantled by design. Feith - based initiatives (sorry, dougie) STILL exist, if only because Obama has not bothered to put a stop to them. Hell, we just voted to re-fund abstinence policies, even though every single study shows that they fail, and worse, they make things worse.

It sure does not feel like we have a majority in congress, not with this crap occurring.

[madrchsod]

19. this version is way better---it was posted yesterday---

[KatyMan]

42. Cake or death

sweet....

[SemiCharmedQuark]

52. My favorite:

"Represents the modern American solider. With "King" written on his body,, he also fills in for Martin Luther King Jr. Because we can't have two black guys right next to each other. That would be a mob."

[dana_b]

53. LOL

waaaay better! good belly laughs

[drm604]

20. Wait... This is serious?

When I first saw it, I thought it must be from someplace like Landover Baptist (a religious parody site).

When you can't tell reality from parody, you know there's a problem.

[peekaloo]

23. Long before the telegram and the Billy Graham there was Jebus Gram.

[saltpoint]

24. I'm kinda disappointed that Ted Nugent isn't in the picture.

[Kerrytravelers]

41. It's nothing without Kirk Cameron.

Perhaps we should send our suggestions along to the artist?

:rofl:

[saltpoint]

45. LOL. Ted and Kirk.

Excellent.

[amb123]

26. We, the God-Fearing People of the United Christian States . . .

in order to create Heaven on Earth, establish justice for White, Anglo-Saxon, Christian, Corporate, Heterosexual Males, insure domestic tranquility by beating up niggers, kikes, papists, femi-nazis, wetbacks, terrorist Muslims and faggots, provide for the common defense by conquering the world for Christ, and to secure the blessings of liberty for those who render blind, unquestioning obedience to our leaders whom God has chosen, do ordain, establish and bless this sacred Constitution for the United Christian States of America.

:sarcasm:

This is why we have Separation of Church and State.

[Robyn66]

28. dupe

[Bucky]

30. The best part: zoom in on the soldier between Lincoln & Reagan... it's MLK!!

:rofl: But not one of those civil disobediance, roll away from the fire hoese, give a speech pussy MLKs--nosireebob! This is an action packed, gun slingin', Desert Storm full kevlar body armor, ass kickin' Martin Luther King with kung fu grip! America, fuck yeah!

[RagAss]

31. Call in the coordinates !!!!

[ddeclue]

33. Hey moran: Capitol dome not completed until 1863 and the Supreme Court Bldg in 1935.

Of course what should we expect from people who think that the Flintstones represents an accurate approximation of the temporal relationship between dinosaurs and human beings.

:rofl:

35. Hey...with 4 posts...nobody is gonna click on your link.

[Bucky]

36. Oh darn.... I missed it!

I could've used a good laugh right about now.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

37. Why does Lincoln look like he just finished singing Sweet Adeline?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

38. You notice almost all of the minorities are hidden away in the background?

They are unsightly to Constitution giving Jesus.

[Bucky]

39. Hey, they put the gun-totin' Martin Luther King in Desert Storm body armor up front

Just the let the firehoses try and stop 'im now, goddammit!! "Semper fuckin' fi" is this bad boy's dream!

[lolly]

49. Well, according to that Jeebus-driven Constitution

They were only 3/5 of a person, so it's easy for them to get shoved to the back .. .

[SemiCharmedQuark]

51. Did Jesus make the constitution knowing that we'd have to amend it TWENTY SEVEN TIMES!

If not, why does Jesus want slaves? If so, why wasn't it written properly the first time?

[Kerrytravelers]

40. What a lunatic.

:eyes:

[Contrary1]

43. Crap like this is the only way they can delude themselves about the evil they bring about...

due to their lack of empathy, their intolerance, their greed, their wars...feel free to add your own.

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. It is so full of Dominionist code it is not even funny

the book the college student carries is the backbone of the philosophy and yes, they want a theocracy.

[mitchum]

48. He's just a huckster

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

50. Do they have one with Adam and Eve riding a dinosaur?

That would be about as accurate.

[dana_b]

54. incredible

Tom PaIne.... Jefferson....??!! wow... I can't believe the lack of knowledge or, more likely, the twisting and erasing of history. Well, at least there will be a new bible to go along with this POS soon.

[Raineyb]

55. This dude is a moron!

Why would anyone who has a clue put someone who is supposed to represent MLK in a bloody military uniform. Did the artist not know that MLK was against the Vietnam war?

That's about as far as I got. Clearly this fool has no understanding of the concept of separation of church and state.

Idiot.
