The Forgotten Man painting by Jon Naughton (Photo Credit: Jon Naughton)
The picture by Jon McNaughton has become rather controversial. The left doesn't like it and has complained. If course, the left injects race into the discussion but as far as I can tell the issue portrayed has nothing to do with race, only policy. HERE is the full article.
This You-tube video by McNaughton explains why he did the painting.
In the painting we see Clinton, and the two Roosevelt's applauding Obama. The rest seem to be dismayed. On McNaughton's website he explains his painting and you can see some of the comments from readers about it.
I believe he is on to something. It seems the left, run by the Obama, Reid, Pelosi trio of doom has tossed the Constitution into the trash. Obama has somehow decided the appointment of his ilk to posts can take pace even when the Senate is in session. Meaning he appoints without "advice and consent". He has done many acts of what many call "extra" Constitutional acts as if he were king or something. Reid has held the Constitution hostage regarding the very job he is supposed to do, passing the budget. Over 1000 days have gone by while Reid sits on the House passed budget!
Pelosi, the famous, "we have to pass the bill to know what is in it" lamebrain from San Francisco, is also to blame for what many consider trampling on our Founding documents. If these people get away with this, then we are toast. It may take a while to become a piece of toast, but the journey into tyranny by the few starts with the first step, they are taking that first step.
America is getting a dose of what happens when politicians and their compatriots think they can get away with these things. Since the willing, slobbering press can't even report on these issues in a contra way, (they actually tell us it is no big deal, but they would be the first to go if tyranny happens, ironic eh?), the people get really shortchanges. But the alternative medias do get out the trampling stories and the hope is people will pay attention and not let these travesties continue.
America will bounce back and freedom will prevail as long as we keep our "public servants" in their place. America is about us, the common everyday folks, running the place. Somehow we haven't paid enough attention lately and have allowed people like the Obama, Pelosi, Reid triumvirate to get in charge. We will rectify the problem this year and return our country to sanity. Vote these scofflaws out and put some common sense, Constitution loving people in their place.
