"sure, why not ban gay marriage? that's just the beginning, now we can stop all them coloreds from marrying whites, and no more jews marrying good christian folk. in fact, what's with all this 'equal rights' nonsense and 'freedom of speech' bull? why, we got away with altering the most fundamental rights of this country, with a big enough bottle of white-out we can change all that foolishness and finally get started building the fascist/conservative WASP nation we've dreamed of for years! sieg heil! uh, i mean... yeehah!

my first attempt at political art. do not think for a moment that they will stop with just oppressing the rights of gay people. it was only a few decades ago when racism was basically legal, how easy do you think it will be to stumble back that far once we've already taken a step backwards? i am not gay or black or any other specific minority, i'm just an average working lower-middle class white american. but when you make it political policy to oppress and abuse the rights of any group of people, you insult everything this country was meant to be. keep your religious beliefs out of politics & out of the constitution. freedom means being able to believe what you want, worship or not worship whoever and however you want, live and work and love however you choose, and anyone who wants to change that is a fascist and has no place in a position of power.

this is not an argument for or against religion, but the power to force your religious beliefs onto those who do not share them. religious groups are so fast to defend and demand their rights, but care nothing for the rights of those who do not share their views. that isn't america, that's the sort of thing our forefathers founded this country to offer freedom from.

alright, venting over.

(i think it would have been more appropriate to create this piece using an image of the bill of rights, but i felt a more recognizable document would have stronger dramatic affect.)
