Good art need not be subtle.

1. Almost ok with this
My question is, why only pick on * in this case? I know, I know, he is the 'leader' of the free world - but to me it is about high damn time we started putting pressure OURSELVES on those little idiots running places which sow death and destruction.

If we believe peace is the answer, lets get out and protest en masse the petty tyrants doing similar things in their own countries. Protest their embassies, protest across the world, make similar art. What did we do to protest saddam when he was in power?? Did we, the people, try to use peaceful means to protest and bring pressure on him, or did we sit around waiting on clinton/gore/bush to do it for us??

Hate *, protest him, ok - cool. But why only target him? If peaceful means are the desire, and liberation the goal, why aren't we out in force using peaceful ways to stop china, sudan, et al?? Bush? we don't need no stinkin bush :)

End of rant (and I do like the artwork, just wish we could focus on those assholes we see elsewhere as 'evil' and work to bring them down in a peaceful way is all. Otherwise, it will be up to the government to deal with them someday, and look what that has gotten us.)

4. Desert camo in the snow? Yes, I see real irony in that.
It's a real testament to the stupidty of red neck America.

Thanks for posting.

You just called it art. Implying visual art.
But hey, if you want to train for desert combat in snowy woods, go right ahead.

6. That's great.
It's even funnier that freepers don't get that it's sarcasm.
