Remember this portrait of the liberal establishment’s “lord and savior”?

As remarked here earlier,

The 30″ x 54″ acrylic painting, by Michael D’Antuono, is entitled, “The Truth.” It is evidently not a sick joke, but an actual tribute, inspired by religious awe. The title is a reference to John 14:6.

To liberals, Obama isn’t a cheap little punk, a Marxist saboteur, or a post turtle. He is a deity. After he absolves the white man of his sins by destroying America, we will have heaven on earth in the form of a Third World socialist utopia.

The painting is back in the news, now that it is being displayed at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery in Boston.

It was originally supposed to debut nearly four years ago at New York City’s Union Square. But that event was cancelled due to public outrage.

Obama’s reelection proves we are past outrage now.

A spokesperson for the art gallery told Fox News there hasn’t been any criticism of the painting.

The artist dismisses those who object to blasphemy by sniffing,

“My intent was not to compare him to Jesus.”

Sure, of course not.

Since a Marxist community activist who advanced to the presidency through Affirmative Action now represents divinity in the crumbling remnants of this country, Glenn Beck produced this majestic artwork, inspired by Andres Serrano’s famous Piss Christ:

Unlike Serrano, Beck used fake urine. He didn’t get an NEA grant, but bidding did climb to $11,000 before eBay made him take it down, presumably for being blasphemous.

Race thugs are beating the war drums in Houston after a Valero clerk shot a hoodlum of politically privileged pigmentation named Alexander Calloway in self-defense during an assault. Earlier, the same clerk had been shot in the leg during a robbery by Calloway’s homies.

Naturally the clerk is getting blamed for the incident. He has been fired lest his continued employment offend “the community.”

Community organizers have crept out of their crevices to lead scurrying carpets of roaches against the Valero station. One Sharpton/Obama wannabe attempts to sound reasonable by serving up a stinking shovelful of liberal moral equivalence:

Activist Quanell X said both men shared blame for what happened.

“We want the store merchants to respect us but we must respect them,” he said.

My vote for the Pulitzer Prize goes to the first reporter with the spine to ask one of these goons what they have ever done to earn respect.

Thirty-two years after the death of John Lennon, his life partner in moonbattery Yoko Ono manages to remain relevant by holding up a mirror to show us what we have become. Without further ado, I present Yoko Ono Fashions for Men:

Those of the ever so fashionable homosexual persuasion will want to see the rear view.

Maybe we actually deserve Obama.

At this point, a giant asteroid smashing the world to smithereens would be a mercy.

No matter how many times you add 2 and 2, you will always get 4. The results are similarly predictable when you analyze the relation between gun ownership and crime:

From 2006 to 2011, the total number of guns purchased in Virginia increased 73 percent, while the total number of gun-related violent crimes decreased 24 percent over that period. And when adjusted for population growth, the number of crimes further decreases to more than 27 percent, with 79 gun-related offenses per 100,000 in 2006 dropping to 57 by 2011.

Virginia Commonwealth University professor Thomas R. Baker conducted the analysis at the request of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Baker told the paper that the findings appear to contradict the popular premise that more guns cause more violent crime.

To the extent that thoroughly discredited premise is “popular,” it is because it is relentlessly promoted by the authoritarian liberals who control the governmedia. Not only has it been disproven repeatedly, but it makes no sense. Criminals will always have guns regardless of the law. Why would permitting law-abiding citizens to defend themselves in accordance with their Constitutional rights cause an increase in crime?

Baker examined data from the Virginia Firearms Transaction Center, which tracks the number of gun transactions for every federally licensed Virginia firearm dealer, to state crime data from 2006 to 2011. That data demonstrated that an increase in gun purchases one year was often followed by a decrease in gun crime the next year.

“So the only thing it could be is that more guns are causing less crime,” Baker concluded, noting that the data is “pretty overwhelming.”

However, no amount of data will dissuade liberals, because as leftist radicals used to openly admit, the issue is never the issue. We aren’t really talking about crime; we are talking about the ability of the population to defend itself from its increasingly malevolent collectivist rulers.

Similarly, no amount of data proving that subsidizing poverty creates more poverty will put a dent in liberal support for an ever-expanding welfare state, because the issue is not alleviating the plight of the poor, but increasing dependence on government.

In both cases, the goal is the same: to create a population of helpless victims, utterly dependent on the State.

While the GOP leadership searches for new ways to reach common ground with America’s collectivist enemies, the Democrat rank and file is maintained in a state of psychotic belligerence toward anyone who stands between them and their authoritarian utopia. This rant from Mike Malloy is mean enough to make John Boehner cry:

As we all know by now, “tea-bagger” is an obscene epithet for homosexuals. By using this term to insult the people they most hate (i.e., patriotic defenders of the Constitution and traditional American values), liberals reveal that they not only revere homosexuals, but also loathe them. They have a similarly twisted attitude toward the minorities they patronize and exploit.

The diametric opposite of the cultural rot that produced Barack Hussein Obama would be the code of chivalry practiced by the knights of old — who of course are demonized by liberals. Wild Bill for America would like to reclaim the noble cultural heritage we have been discarding:

By now even liberals know about the Laffer Curve, and how raising taxes that are already excessive does not increase but rather decreases government revenue. But their eat-the-rich approach is good for one thing — ridding a country of its most productive citizens:

In the 2009-10 tax year, more than 16,000 people declared an annual income of more than £1 million to HM Revenue and Customs.

This number fell to just 6,000 after Gordon Brown introduced the new 50p top rate of income tax shortly before the last general election. …

It is believed that rich Britons moved abroad or took steps to avoid paying the new levy by reducing their taxable incomes.

Another partial explanation is that the high tax rates so oppress the economy that it is no longer possible to create as much wealth.

In any case, the predictable result of taxing millionaires more was that those who didn’t escape the country like East Germans climbing the Berlin Wall produced less tax revenue.

But as Barack Hussein Obama has openly admitted, the point of raising taxes on the demonized rich is not to raise revenue, but to inflict “fairness” — i.e., sheer malice — in the name of Marxist ideology.

We didn’t so much choose socialism on November 6 as we chose banana republic tyranny, not by voting, but by failing to make a peep about this:

Obama lost in each and every US State where voter ID laws were in place …

In 59 Philadelphia precincts, Mitt Romney received no votes and Obama received 100% of the votes — or even higher. This fact, alone, should have raised red flags and set off all manner of bells, whistles and sirens. But, the Republican Establishment (aka Marxist-lite) has remained silent …

The military vote was almost totally suppressed in the November elections

People were openly reported to have voted twice — or more

Republican poll watchers in multiple states were either turned away and not allowed to enter the precincts or thrown out once they had done so

Voters in multiple voting booths across the country reported their votes for Romney were automatically changed to Obama

Votes for Romney/Ryan were either changed to Obama./Biden by poll workers or thrown out entirely

Democrats bussed non-US citizen voters, many of whom could not speak English, from state to state to vote for Obama

The RNLA reported “election fraud occurred in Flushing [NY] when a Korean-American translator helping voters at PS 20 was caught directing them to vote for Democratic candidates. A volunteer poll watcher confirmed the incident” and in North Carolina

Et cetera, ad nauseam. Some of the most conspicuous fraud occurred in the definitive swing states, Ohio and Florida.

To accept this is to be complicit in it. Yet here’s the response from our excuse for an opposition party:

Some parasites sensibly allow their hosts enough nourishment to live. Others are so greedy that they kill their hosts in the assumption that another host can be found afterward. Liberals are parasites of the second variety. Anyone who doubts they are killing their host hasn’t seen this:

Some who draw a government paycheck perform needed services in return. Most do not — prominently including the best paid.

How many of them do they think we can carry on our backs?

There has been a step backward in our march toward progressive utopia. Stacie Laughton, the first transsexual freakazoid to be elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, did not last the month. If only Barack Hussein Obama’s comparably farcical election had been as short-lived.

Despite [its] resolve to take office next week, the case of State Representative-Elect Stacie Laughton has taken a legal turn, forcing [it] to resign [its] seat.

Based on the language of NH RSA 607-A:2:1 it appears Laughton, a convicted felon who served four months in Belknap County House of Corrections, would have been ineligible to serve for six more years had [it] not decided to step down. …

Laughton, who is transgender, was convicted and served time while still living as a man, under the name Barry Laughton.

Although a felon in New Hampshire has the right to run for office and vote once they’ve fulfilled the terms of their sentence, another question was raised earlier Tuesday with the AG’s office — whether Laughton was legally able to serve as a state representative due to the open status of two concurrent suspended sentences.

Laughton was sentenced in July of 2008 on three charges. Two of them — 7 1/2 to 15 years for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and 3 1/2 to 7 years for the falsifying physical evidence — were suspended pending 10 years of good behavior. …

Although [it] did fulfill the terms of [its] 12-month sentence on conspiracy to commit fraud, since two of the convictions against [it] were suspended pending 10 years good behavior, [it] has six more years to wait for [its] chance to run for office.

Cheer up, moonbats; the news isn’t all bad. Within six years New Hampshire will have been completely overrun by Massholes attempting to escape the taxes they impose on themselves back in Taxachusetts. The liberal values that found champions in long-serving politicians like murdering degenerate commie Ted Kennedy, child-molesting homosexual Gerry Studds, and repulsive pervert Barney Frank will assure Laughton’s success when it becomes eligible to try again.

The GOP establishment is reflexively conciliatory. But you don’t know what you might touch if you try reaching across the aisle toward people like this:

Nothing says seriousness and respect for the political process like invading the office of the Speaker of the House in the nude. And nothing says great media like covering such a protest by laughing along with the protesters while playing up the protest to the hilt.

That’s what happened today, as AIDS research protesters descended on Rep. John Boehner’s (R-OH) office in the Longworth building. Boehner wasn’t in at the time. They began chanting and screaming: “Boehner, Boehner, don’t be a dick! Budget cuts will make us sick!” Classy.

Liberals aren’t interested in debate. They are interested in looting the country literally to death, while its defenders are drowned out by lewd circus acts.

For anyone whose stomach can withstand naked moonbats chanting Marxist slogans, video is here.

Contrary to news reports, we are not approaching the fiscal cliff. It is behind us now, because we dove off of it by reelecting the irresponsible and/or malicious punk who is spending the nation into oblivion. We just haven’t hit the ground yet. But no matter what we do now, we will. Meanwhile, the deficit spending continues:

The U.S. Treasury increased the net debt of the United States $24,327,048,384.38 on the day after Thanksgiving, which equals approximately $211.69 for each of the nation’s 114,916,000 households. …

Friday was also the first time in the history of the United States that the debt has topped $16.3 trillion.

When President Barack Obama first took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the national debt stood at $10,626,877,048,913.08. Since then, it has increased by $5,680,611,894,651.15.

That means that since Obama has been president, the national debt has increased by about $49,432.73 per household.

That means the debt imposed by Hope & Change so far comes to $49,432.73 per household. That tab will be much higher before this disgraceful debacle is finally over.

Following the catastrophic elections of November 6, obnoxious hard left lunatic Alan Grayson is back in Congress — and back to his boorish antics:

Grayson wasted little time in making it clear that his second stint at playing a lawmaker will be no less mortifying than the first when he spent Thanksgiving night agitating Walmart workers on behalf of organized labor and disrupting the early start to Black Friday holiday shopping.

Union-backed groups OUR Walmart and Making Change at Wal-Mart were calling for an employee walkout during Black Friday.

In the typical theatrics that define the far left, our newly elected Congressman was handing out turkey sandwiches and letters explaining the right to organize to employees at a local Walmart, forcing management to call the police to have him escorted off the property.

It isn’t a coincidence that this bullying clown was making a fool of himself on behalf of Big Unions.

[L]abor unions, primarily public sector unions, are the number one contributors to Grayson, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That would be the same cancerous sector of society that recently killed the Twinkie and reduced the auto industry to a ward of the welfare state. Still more deleteriously, unions were also instrumental in placing the Manchurian Moonbat in the White House.

Either we rid society of unions, or it will be choked to death by the lowlife politicians who serve them.

You can expect marijuana to be not only legal but subsidized by your tax dollars in the foreseeable future, for the same reason the government subsidizes poverty. A stoned electorate is a compliant electorate.
