THE FORGOTTEN MAN


Against the background of a darkening sky, all of the past Presidents of the United States gather before the White House, as if to commemorate some great event.  In the left hand corner of the painting sits a man.  That man, with his head bowed appears distraught and hopeless as he contemplates his future.  Some of the past Presidents try to console him while looking in the direction of the modern Presidents as if to say, "What have you done?"  Many of these modern Presidents, seemingly oblivious to anything other than themselves, appear to be congratulating each other on their great accomplishments.  In front of the man, paper trash is blowing in the wind.  Crumpled dollar bills, legislative documents, and, like a whisper—the U.S. Constitution beneath the foot of Barack Hussein Obama.



Here is a list of some of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL actions of President Barack Hussein Obama

"One Nation Under God"




"One Nation Under God."  This simple phrase, added to the pledge of allegiance over 50 years ago has been the source of unbelievable debate and heated controversy.  Likewise, the phrase 'In God We Trust' on our currency has been targeted and continues to be attacked as improper and politically incorrect.  Lawsuits have been filed and legal minds employed to ascertain whether such statements violate the concept of 'separation of church and state'.

As this debate continues, some so called experts have implied or concluded that our Founding Fathers and Patriots were not religious.  These secular champions, in an effort to further their own causes, have even painted these great men and women from our history as being devoid of religious passions or even a belief in God.  This is a part of their strategy to remove any discussion of God from the public forum.

These men and women were passionately religious and saw the hand of God all around them.  To God they gave Thanks for His Hand in the founding of this great nation.  To Him, according to their own testimony they turned for wisdom and strength when life and liberty hung in the balance.  Certainly the debate on separation of church and state will continue.  But no one can dispute how our Founding Fathers and Patriots felt about God.  The record is clear!

'One Nation Under God' is Jon McNaughton's witness and reminder that those who went before us knew from whence their blessings came!

"Peace Is Coming"



Today, as the world is torn by wars and chaos, there has never been a painting more timely than this new masterpiece from artist Jon McNaughton.

Set against the darkened skies of a smoky battlefield, the glorified Jesus Christ moves through the midst of soldiers from all the different ages of time. As if they had stepped from the battle moments before, bloodstained and exhausted, they bow with submission overwhelmed by emotion before the King of Kings.

On Christ's sash is written in ancient Hebrew the words of Isaiah, "They shall turn their swords into plowshares...neither shall they learn war anymore."
