Jon McNaughton is an artist in the tradition of Thomas Kinkade, but one who paints the Right instead of the Light. His best-known piece is One Nation Under God. Here's a slightly different take on the painting.

Bonus: the original painting with different mouseover text

Just because: Abe Lincoln riding a grizzly

I would like to take a minute to explain some of the points of confusion for those who wish to interpret my picture.

If there was ever an argument for letting the art, even this art, speak for itself, there it is.

Is this anything other than a LOL XIANS post? Because I'm not seeing much beyond "This is a Christian glurge artist. Here are some parodies of a Christian glurge artist."

Hmm who would I paint to represent "the young children, both male and female, of all color and ethnicity"

A little white boy with his polo shirt tucked in, yeah that's the ticket
