Because the title indicates that the painting is supposed to actually be a condemnation of socialism?
We’re not saying they’re good Christians. 
Google up Prosperity Theology, and weep.
I just put up the Abraham Lincoln riding a grizzly bear one, actually.
Hey, other-Europeans, remind me how to say socialcristiano in English please?
Many if not most Cristians have nothing against what the Americans call “socialism”. We’re all for it, actually.
Not a European, but I suspect you’re looking for the “social Gospel”.
Or “liberation theology.”
What Americans call “socialism” is what Euros call “social democracy.” What Euros call “socialism” is something that has not been a topic for serious discussion in the U.S. since the 1930s.
Either that or “Liberation Theology”.
Edit: Ah, beaten to the punch.
Was going to point out that there’s a book called “Jesus Was a Capitalist” which is presumably based on trivial details such as the analogy of the servant collecting interest (obviously referring to spiritual interest) or his receiving gold from one of the three magi (because gifts received as an infant must indicate a rational actor seeking to abolish fiat currency).
By the way, there’s an interesting thread on Something Awful where the Cthulu parody is from (thought it may have been a Photoshop Phriday), found out about Kelly cartoons there too.
:eek: A Mormon knocking socialism?! What a fucking hypocrite!
Of which there was none before 01/20/2009, right, McNaughton?
:rolleyes:
McNaughton addresses that issue. He “It is not a partisan painting. I take no favoritism of Republicans or Democrats. Both parties are guilty.”
It’s just that he doesn’t know how to paint Republicans.
What I want to see is a McNaughton rendition of George Washington, twelve feet tall and made of radiation.
So, a Dr. Manhattan version of George Washington?
It’d be interesting to see whether or not McNaughton would leave anything to the imagination. But judging from his other works, subtlety doesn’t really appear to be his thing.
Jesus was too distracted “suffering the little children to come unto himself” to remember where he left it.
That’s OK! George Washington will save the little children (but not the British children).
And certainly no Iroquois!
Christian Socialist?
He’s coming. He’s coming. He’s coming.
And that, kids, is how George Washington became the Father of his Country.
Because this guy seems to have a hard-on against all things “socialist” (for Tea Party values of the word socialist). Yet he makes propaganda art in the style pioneered by actual socialists. Irony.
