UR DOIN IT RONG II
One of the really cool things about being a mole in The Sisterhood of Mommy Patriots™ is the exposure to fine art. The image below is WAY better than “GOP Presidents Jigsaw Puzzle.”
If you go to the site and mouse over each figure, there’s a pop-up explanation of its symbolic meaning.
Lord knows that’s necessary, because having a US Marine, Madonna and child figures, a preacher, a farmer, etc., on the right hand of blue-eyed Caucasian Jesus basking in His holy light while an activist Supreme Court Justice, a professor, a Hollywood porn dude, a liberal she-reporter, and, oh yeah, SATAN! languishing at His left hand with their backs turned is pretty subtle for us non-artsy-fartsy types.
The only mildly puzzling categorization is the placement of the pregnant woman with the ostentatiously demonic on the wrong side of Jeebus. I guess she’ll just have to stand in the Lake of Fire Express line until the artist is sure she won’t abort her snowflake baby! Tough luck for you, lady.
Ha ha, just kidding—in the pop-up attached to the preggers lady, the artist helpfully notes that the woman “represents hope” since she’s “pointing at the mother with the handicap [sic] child and is saying to herself, ‘I want to keep my baby.’”
In that case, the artist needs to paint a Nancy Pelosi figure over the pregnant lady and transfer the original figure to the good side. (Maybe I’ll run that idea up the MinuteMom flagpole and see who salutes.)
I think my favorite pop-up explanation was the one associated with the iconic, bespectacled school teacher figure next to the US Marine:
The value of qualified, trained and hard working teachers in teaching the youth of America cannot be underestimated.
What a moving tribute to the artist’s many fine English teachers, who possibly also count Amy Siskind among their pupils!
