The Empowered Man -- Jon McNaughton

The Empowered Man
There is something simmering deep inside the soul of all Americans. We want to know that we are a free people; that the government acknowledges our individual rights; that fiscal responsibility is an absolute requirement. We want our presidents and politicians to mean what they say when they take the oath of office..."to defend the Constitution of the United States!"

Do we have freedom when half the country pays taxes to support the other half?
Do we have freedom when government regulates every aspect of our lives?
Do we have freedom when our currency is controlled by a corporation that has no accountability to the American people?
Do we have freedom when we have more debt than can possibly be repaid?

The government bureaucracy is to a point where it is no longer worth what the tax payer is required to maintain it. I wonder how many Americans realize they have sold our God given freedoms for a mess of pottage.

I hope everyone will see themselves as the Empowered Man. It makes no difference whether you are a man or woman, how old you are, or the color of your skin. You must decide to no longer be silent, to get off your bench, pick up that Constitution and hold it high in the air as a standard for the world to see. Don't hold back! Don't be silent! You are the future of this nation and without YOU, the American dream will perish.

Great painting, keep telling it like it is, I noticed that half of the people don't like this painting, must be the half that don't pay taxes and are supported by us who do pay them.

Thank you, Jon McNaughton. It's time for good Americans to stand up and stop this insanity.

And by the way, I am not giving George Bush a pass. Bush's fiscal irresponsibility was criminal, and it's a disgrace that the Republicans in Congress went along with him. In his 2008 campaign, Obama rightly condemned Bush. Obama ran as a fiscal centrist. He pledged (that's his word, "pledge") to cut the deficit in half in his first term. Liar! Damned liar! Government has gone mad and turned on its people

These are some of the most beautiful and moving paintings I have ever seen. THANK YOU, Sir! You said more in these paintings that I could have said with a million words.

Keep on fighting and Godspeed.

Your speech sounds like what Obama talked about in his Inaugural Address a few weeks ago McNaughton

[Gho5tV4b]

Great video, i love the message you are giving here. The two party system is only crushing our ability to be free we need to open our minds and let free our consciousness!

[Aubrie Tremblay]

though Romney lost the election, there will always be people like him who will fight for what's right, and not what' popular. like me.

This is so ridiculous. What a horrible painting. I am embarrassed Jon McNaughton is a Mormon.

[FreeThinkersFTW]

I wonder if you would go back change your previous paintings if you were actually educated on the topics that you paint about.

[PanzerFaustFurious]

Obama is a islam lover!

[RealRickyRoss]

Good video! But please, do not think your Mormon brother, Romney, will do any different than the status quo! What we are witnessing is the DESTRUCTION of AMERICA, by DESIGN! You can not have a One World Order with a country like ours, in the way...

[Michael Johnson]

Republicans and Democrats sold this nation to the highest bidder a long time ago.

[Greg Weber]

Thank God for white men!!
