So by this point, everyone is well aware that two men have escaped from New York’s maximum security prison, Clinton Correctional Facility. But what you probably don’t know is that Richard Matt is not only a convicted murderer and escapee, but he’s also an artist. The 48-year-old felon painted portraits of political figures such as Barack Obama — featuring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the background, Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton....[snip]

Wouldn’t it be great if they were *life drawings* ....drawn from the subjects being in the same prison as Matt?

Is it only a coinkadink that the escapees come from the *Clinton* Correctional facility?

From an artistic point of view, they seem to be quite good.

If he has any talent, as you suggest, it sure was wasted.

Same as every other hard criminal. Liberal.

Before outlawing Sharia, we should outlaw liberals. Several hundred million dead pretty much prove what a danger to humanity it is.

As for painting the Clintons and the Choomer one artist who is a con painting pictures of his heroes who are con artists of other creative venues. Painted at the Clinton Correctional Institute is quite the additional irony.

To me also. He had talent that could have supplanted whatever landed him in prison had he chosen to work at it.

At least I can recognize who he was drawing. Willy, Cankles, and BamBam.
If you asked me to draw a picture of Ronald Reagan, you'd get a stick man on a stick horse splitting logs. With an American flag in the background.

Most liberals are just freeloaders who think they are entitled to free stuff from the government and other people's money. Liberal politicians are just barely disguised totalitarians. Liberalism is just the most appealing political posture for people with totalitarian inclinations. If we "outlaw liberals", aspiring totalitarians will embrace the cause most ardently. Hitler was glad to "outlaw liberals", ask Paster Niemöller.

Nazi philosophy WAS liberal/Totalitarian. Thats WHY it should be outlawed.

Let them unite against the idea. Gives a focal point to oppose them that even the willfully blind will have to see.

Strictly speaking, liberal and totalitarian are opposites. The problem is that totalitarians have usurped the term liberal. Hitler would never, ever have been considered a liberal, clearly Pastor Neimoeller was a (classical) liberal. I am a classical liberal myself. People who call themselves liberals today are freeloaders and totalitarians.

Thats true in the literal sense. But todays liberalism being what it is...One and the same. Same ethos as the totalitarians, same mentality in its adherents, same demands...

People today look back on totalitarian regimes/movements and ask why people let them have free reign before it was too late. History repeats.

The great artist was convicted of, among other things, kidnapping an old man and breaking his fingers one by one, just for the pleasure of it.

Still, they’re all murders, one convicted, other got away with murder [re: Vince Foster, J Christopher Stevens]....the only difference is, the convicted felon/artist dismembered his victim, the other only dismembers metaphorically through the political process and socialism.
