John McNaughton is a very talented artist. He proves that a conservative can be creative. One of my favorite paintings is the rooster crowing as Obama speaks. It is titled “Wake up America.” Below is a link to the picture.

As some of you know I enjoy writing in the poetic forms known as Fibonacci and shadorma. This painting inspired me to write this Fibonacci.

When the Rooster Crows

When
The
Rooster
Crows three times
Many have deaf ears
Deceived by a silver tongued fox

McNaughton's paintings were showcased on Hannity's show a couple of times. They're both beautiful and eerie at the same time;really creepy - and frightening - in a way.

I agree, and his painting show America's past and present. Also our possible future does scare me.
