Semi-relevant observation: someone in this picture is standing who should not be.Posted, COMPLETELY WITHOUT IRONY, by a hippie Libertarian on Facebook. Makes special note of the “worthless” currency on the ground, the sad repressed person on the bench, Obama’s foot on the constitution.
Does not make special note of the fact that EVERYONE IN THE DRAWING IS A WHITE MALE EXCEPT OBAMA. Yeah, I know, they’re all presidents. The point stands.
One commentator gushed enthusiastically that “this picture tells the truth!” He’s right: for the most part it does. The constitution was written by rich white men for rich white men. It’s not an accident that the person on the bench, the “victim” in this painting, is a white male. The only thing the drawing gets wrong is the idea that somehow President Obama is a departure from the rest of these people.
Oh, and Republican Libertarians? You lost your ability to claim Abraham Lincoln a long time ago. He is nothing more than a totem to you. If you posted his quotes under a fake name on the internet, he would quickly become your biggest enemy. He opposes most of what you believe … I mean, states’ rights? Pretty clear that Lincoln cared more about human rights than states’ rights. Also pretty clear that Abe had serious doubts about the “sacred” nature of the constitution & “framer’s intent”.
Unbelievable.
This may be the best commentary yet on this piece of shit painting.
why are some of them applauding something that is apparently happening just off-canvas to the right
what is going on over there
is ron paul emerging from a half-shell
Since it’s the Roosevelts and Bill Clinton I would imagine it’s because they’re the godless left-wingers who ruined this country (before Obama could get to it anyway I guess)
Guess it was too inconvenient to include a disabled man in the composition! (And that’s the generous assumption.)
