An interesting thing about the non-whites in the painting: Sequoyah (was he a Christian?) and the historical figures Tubman and Douglass stand at the very back. Closer to the forefront you have the “College Student”, who looks too much like Martin Luther King to be coincidental, and the Marine, whose name on his lapel is King and who looks more than a bit like MLK also. The non-white-of-some-variety immigrant has his back turned.
Apparently this guy has never seen actual live non white people and can only draw famous ones.
The most irritating thing to me about things like this is how unimaginative they are. And the fact that half the white guys were slaveowners- no problemo, slaveowning isn’t anywhere near as bad as being a liberal she-reporter or Supreme Court justice. And Thomas Jefferson’s expurgation of the Bible doesn’t mean he’s not a Fundie, it just means he liked arts and crafts— and Thomas Paine?!
Wow, just wow. I thought for sure you were referring to this mural, located in my area. Cheesy primarily in that it was paid for by a “public benefactor” who stipulated that she be used as one of the characters (the sole female). However, your wins hands down.
I’m reminded of my cousins (the ones who ask for “anything by Kincaide” for Christmas) and know that they fully agree with EVERYTHING on this painting. On Thanksgiving and X-mas I will be subjected to a live version of this painting.
I love how there’s no caption for Business Woman. The artist probably vacillilated over whether or not she was supposed to be with the damned or not since she’s obviously a shoe-wearing, lesbian, child-murdering liberal who’s not even cooking dinner for her man.
For those having trouble viewing the painting, the above is the exact same paininting, not a parody, so you can view it instead. The only difference is much better scrollover notes.
Uh, excuse me… when you’ve got Satan (or Palpatine as the better/alternate site calls him) to your left and a crippled child who needs healing to your right and somebody’s macing Civil War zombies and the Mt. Rushmore Quartet is rehearsing their Temptations tribute album all around you, rain’s the last thing you worry about. Don’t bother Jesus when an umbrella will work just as well.
And schoolteachers are saintly beings but college professors are in league with Satan. And evidently whether they teach World Lit or Physics or Ancient History or Theology or Nursing they carry around Darwin as their Bible.
It looks to me like Adams and Hamilton are discussing which of them is going to put Satan into a headlock.
I love the comment that some of the stars on the flag are brighter than others. That’s arrogance on a really bizarre level. Massachusetts, you bunch of commies, we’re giving you a smaller star! Nyah!
How convenient that all the wicked lefties are grouped in one clump! Much easier to smite 'em as a group than if they were mixed in with all the normal Christian good people.
Hey, I’m not seeing any Jews or Muslims or Buddhists yet. On which side of the painting would I find them?
