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 nations 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.
McNaughton tells CBSDC that the hands represents his recognition of what is happening (to the Constitution) as it goes up.
There are numerous symbols and subtleties in this painting, and Im not ready to reveal all of them, McNaughton said.

Executive Order -- National Defense Resources Preparedness | The White House
Yeah, this recent Executive Order has gone almost completely unreported by our corrupt MSM. Do people really still believe we have an 'Independent Media' in this Country? This Executive Order is both bizarre and egregious. Absolutely unnecessary.
Do People actually believe we have any Rights at all, especially Private Property? Is there Anything the Government does not lay claim to here, with the possible exception of the Air we breathe, which is most likely an oversight on their part. This is a Totalitarian's Wet Dream.
