A modern masterwork in subtlety...

[targetpractice]

You can visit the artist's web site and roll your mouse over each element in the painting to get even more information about the symbolism (that is not already apparent).

[Richardo]

1. Why is Abraham Lincoln doing Al Jolson?

[targetpractice]

2. Looks like the artist's site is getting overwhelmed...

...It's loading slowly.

In case you need some help... The artist is trying to convey that the Constitution was written by Jesus... Duh! Everyone in the picture gets this except those liberals in the lower right... Oh, and Satan who is standing behind the Hollywood guy on the right.

[dixiegrrrrl]

25. Shouldn't the liberals be in the upper left?

[Orsino]

3. "Do you validate or not?" n/t

Aragorn looks pissed.

[City of Mills]

4. I dig the librul news reporter and professor

But why does satan look like the grim reaper? Hasn't this guy ever met death before???

10. Your version could use that squirrel, too. ;-) n/t

11. When you're right, you're right!

[XemaSab]

12. And Mr. Get a Brain

:P

[City of Mills]

14. OK

Gotta go to the gym!

[elshiva]

21. City of Mills, that is a brilliant version of that trainwreck.

[Pool Hall Ace]

35. Is it possible to replace the Constitution with Obama's birth certificate?

Or possibly place it on the steps with all of the "evil" paperwork? I don't know anything about photo editing.

Or, if you can't do that -- how about that shot of McCain sticking his tongue out?

[supernova]

5. "Teacher" in lower left

looks like Sarah Failin'.

[madamesilverspurs]

6. Lemme guess...

that's an 'activist judge' suddenly shamed as he is nudged by the woman who DIDN'T have an abortion. . .

Who's that in the lower right, looks like Ralph Reed going through his rolodex.

[targetpractice]

7. Lawyer counting money...

...according to the key on the artist's web site.

Roll your mouse over the painting at this link, and read the meaning of each component in the right-hand sidebar.

15. Dialup won't let me go there.

Frustrating.

[targetpractice]

16. Oh bummer... It does takes forever to load.

But the artist explains exactly why he painted each element in the photo the way he did, including the stars in the sky, the books people are holding, and why they have certain expressions on their faces.

For example the caption for the guy in the lower left foreground reads, "Why does he have his hand up like that? There are many good people in America, they are not all Christian. I wanted him to have a look of shock when he realizes where the source of America's greatness comes from as he sees Christ holding the Constitution. We live in a country were we are free to worship as we please."

36. If it could get you there . . .

you would still need a microscope to find both Harriet Tubman and Sequoyah. People of color tend to be pushed out of sight.

[tishaLA]

31. That struck me as astonishingly antisemitic.

Lawyer or banker with rolls of money. Hmmmmmm. Delicious! The taste of 1930s Germany!

[ZombieHorde]

8. Look at the reasons the judge is crying, Roe v Wade, Everson v Board of Education,

"activist judges", etc.

Read about the professor, an anti-liberal, anti-science mini-rant.

[targetpractice]

9. Hah! There are fifty stars in the sky, too!

According to the artist... "Representing the fifty states. Some stars shine brighter than others."

Hmmm.

[madamesilverspurs]

17. Neocon porn.

With blatant fundie tendencies.

[GoCubsGo]

18. That's just plain creepy!

It blows my mind that someone would even think about something like this, let alone take the time to paint it. Bleech!

[nolabear]

20. And Jesus' prejudices follow you around the room!

[targetpractice]

29. Hahahhah!

Good one.

[woo me with science]

19. "The value of qualified...teachers...cannot be UNDERestimated."

Bwah!

[unpossibles]

27. it's like its own example of FAIL. nt

[TrogL]

23. He's got it in for immigrants and non-Christians

Mouse over the guy in the lowest left corner with his arm up. Also check out the crowd to the right. Apparently he hates teachers as well.

[begin_within]

24. Their "politician" looks like Dick Cheney

"He's on his cell phone, not paying attention. He has his patriotic tie and American flag lapel pin, but he's more concerned about his own political ambitions than what is in the best interest of the country."

[unpossibles]

26. this is awful!

the painting is ok, but did you read the descriptions?

And he included Reagan among the good presidents, and there's anti-choice and anti-education crap in there too, not to mention the ridiculous idea that God wrote the Constitution.

28. +1, this 'artist' is a teabrained idiot n/t

[TheCentepedeShoes]

30. TR next to the F-16 pilot

TR: Why not we get outta here and you take me for a ride in that flying machine of yours?

[tishaLA]

32. He couldn't be bothered to spell Frederick Douglass' name correctly

[Pool Hall Ace]

34. And why does he have the "American Soldier" standing next to

Ronnie Raygun representing Martin Luther King? Couldn't Dr. King represent himself?

[MissMarple]

37. You should cross post this in GD. Honestly, it's just too, too precious to be missed.
