Provo, Utah (CBS DC) – Jon McNaughton, a controversial artist who often mixes religion and politics in his work, has released a new painting.

In ‘One Nation Under Socialism’ President Obama holds the U.S. Constitution as it burns.

While McNaughton previously depicted Obama stepping on the nation’s founding document, ‘One Nation Under Socialism’ glowers directly as if challenging the viewer. His right hand is holding The Constitution and his left hand is pointing to the flames.

Seems accurate to me. Good depiction of the oath breaker in Chief.

That is exactly what he is doing. Of course, he isn’t the first, but he is far more open and aggressive about it.

This should be a stamp put on every envelope.

Libs would love it too because it’s true.

I’d prefer Obama to have burning constipation.

The controversy is that he’s not an Obama robot.

McNaughton said, “There are numerous symbols and subtleties in this painting, and I’m not ready to reveal all of them.”

Interesting - lets see if we can name some of them here. My first observation is that the flames havent totally engulfed The Constitution, which means there is still (little) time to save it.

The only thing that is mising is Romney smiling, over his shoulder.

no, that's pretty common for artists.

controversial is putting a Crucifix in a jar of urine.

Anyone...ANYONE...who disagrees with/challenges a liberal position is "controversial", according to the msm.

I could start a list of names here, but it would be an arduous task.
