Get a Patriot Jesus Painting for Your Home or Office
By Chad Crawford • Oct 7th, 2009 • Category: engagingThis is so awesome. We now have an artist’s rendition of that time when Jesus descended from the clouds to deliver the U.S. Constitution. You remember, all of the founding fathers were there, and Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, a liberal professor clutching Origin of the Species to his chest, Satan…
Just in time for Christmas shopping.
If you click on the image you can go to the website where you will be able to scroll over each figure and read the captions about their symbolism. What’s your favorite part? Mine’s gotta be the professor with his copy of Darwin or the Supreme Court Judge hanging his head in shame for destroying America.
Update: Make sure you go check out the spoof website with different captions when you scroll over the painting! My favorite spoof caption is for the Christian Minister:
Holding the Holy Bible. His sermons tend to skip over the rapey/incesty parts.

Also, find the immigrant. What it says for him is the most bizarre.
“Why does he have his hand up like that? There are many good people in America, they are not all Christian. I wanted him to have a look of shock when he realizes the source of America’s greatness comes from as he sees Christ holding the Constitution. We live in a country where we are free to worship as we please.”
Whaaat?
@Bob Good idea! Does it seem like the far right is getting sillier and not getting the joke?
Can I get a painting with Jesus smashing windows on Wall Street? I want to hang them side by side and ask people ‘Which does your Jesus do?”
Haha – then someone will counter that painting with a “Jesus riding the Wall Street bull” painting.
