RonD1120 62 #5 December 2, 2010 Quotehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGlBHyVeYU&feature=player_embedded#! A fine Christian artist of our time. I wonder how his effort coincides with Richard Dreyfuss' movement to teach American History to our youth? A local friend of mine is manufacturing and selling beautifully framed copies of the Declaration of Independence. There is a growing movement to make the U.S.A. a fundamentally strong, nurturing, safe place for our grandchildren to live and raise their families.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrad 0 #6 December 2, 2010 An interesting painting but which other presidents is he referring to? Is this a genuine attempt to portray how he feels the US has lost its way or just another pathetic bipartisan attack on the joke that is American democracy?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

If I recall correctly, he did one about Bush too! But the usual suspect didn;t want to miss the chance at yet another personal slam, rather than a genuine comment on the painting!

GeorgiaDon 385 #9 December 2, 2010 QuoteQuotehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KGlBHyVeYU&feature=player_embedded#! A fine Christian artist of our time. I went through this guy's web site (thanks Quade) and aside from a lot of motel-room type art (artists blow-out sale! nothing over $10!!), there are some that depict his vision of America as a Christian theocracy, and President Obama standing on the Bill of Rights. Apparently he has bought into the notion that trying to save the economy from a complete meltdown, and trying to ensure that people have access to medical care, represent un-Christian values. Curiously, I found no such paintings criticizing any policies of the Bush administration, which leads me to conclude that he has no problem with endless wars of opportunity, warrantless surveillance of the American population, indefinite detention without charges or trial, or any of the other unconstitutional outrages perpetrated by the previous administration. I wonder if that's because Bush makes such a big deal of being "born again"? QuoteI wonder how his effort coincides with Richard Dreyfuss' movement to teach American History to our youth?Don't know anything about that. QuoteA local friend of mine is manufacturing and selling beautifully framed copies of the Declaration of Independence.American entrepreneurship for sure. But, is he trying to make a buck or a political point, and if the latter what point is he trying to convey? I'm more impressed by another guy I heard about who is making beautifully framed copies of the Declaration and giving them for free to local schools. QuoteThere is a growing movement to make the U.S.A. a fundamentally strong, nurturing, safe place for our grandchildren to live and raise their families.OK, in a Mom-and-apple-pie kind of way, but the devil is in the details. Is your vision of "strong, nurturing, and safe" a militarily aggressive fundamentalist Christian theocracy where diversity of thought, scientific literacy, and even "common sense" is suppressed? My vision of "nurturing and safe" is more along the lines of a society where creativity and curiosity are supported and encouraged; society as a whole benefits because many ideas are put forth and the most useful ones can be selected and developed. A strong society is one that has confidence in its resilience and its people, not one that has the military might to impose its will on others. Militarism weakens society, because it tempts countries into trying to solve problems by force, which cannot be sustained indefinitely. Fundamentalism weakens society by robbing it of the diversity of ideas needed to apply to solving problems, and by robbing people of freedom of thought and expression.

If you knew ANYTHING about American History you would get a clue that there are at least a dozen in that group that have done far more to "step on the constitution" than the current occupant of the White House would ever stoop to.
