Description
The American People just watched.
It appeared at a time when all honesty, integrity, truthfulness, ethics and reason had vanished. This was a surprise to some because none of these things had actually been seen for quite some time. Even after being told, those inside decided to remain ignorant of it's presence. Just like they had stayed ignorant of everything else outside the safe confines of their sheltered society.
The American People watched. Some fearful of the damage the object could cause if it dropped. Others... actually most, just wanted the thing to fall and get it over with. That way they could clean up the crap and start over.
***
One of many pet peeves with Washington politics is how every politician in front of a camera or microphone uses the term "The American People" as though it's a magic phrase that proves their patriotism and shows that they know who they're supposed to be working for.
By the way, if politics was a religion, I'd be agnostic. I don't see how anyone can pick one party over the other and back them as if their side is completely right and the other side is completely wrong.

Couldn't find a free model of the capitol building and I sure ain't gonna pay anything. Rendered the anvil and umbrellas in front of a photo and painted in the shadows later.

Nice job !! If USA fall, Europe will follow. I can't believe it and I think it is only negotiation between politicians... But perhaps I'm wrong...

No comment other than I agree... Too bad you didn't add bird droppings on some of the umbrellas. I feel like I was sh*tted on too... :)

Excellent image and great commentary! I agree about being agnostic! I vote for a candidate, not a party. And I'll stop here or this rant will be much longer than any politics deserves, lol.

A consortium of powers is about to launch the greatest hoax in human history... The massive invasion of the planet earth by space aliens. The invaders are actually humans in disguise, along with technology developed since Roswell in black-op labs. Terrorists are becoming old hat and they (powers) need a new scarecrow. The goal is to force every country to surrender to the Alien invasion and submit to a new world order, dissolving all current political and governmental boundaries. Martial law will be imposed, our military will become our police. What little accountability within governments that currently exist, will be lost. Not a good time to be an extremist.. they will be targeted. Religion will be dissolved too and replaced. Real aliens don't want this to happen but are hog tied by earlier treaties. They are currently trying to bring their existence to public light, in the hopes of preempting the hoaxed invasion scenario. So the big race is on folks. This has to happen real soon.. just watch. Great image and thought Superfrog. Bravo and best wishes from Dave :^)

I too was "agnostic". Then came Nixon, Reagan, Bush,and Bush. I'll never be "agnostic" again.

I'm one of those just wishing for it to be over with and drop. Writing your congressman no longer influences an elected officials mindset (yes I have written my representatives twice on this matter). Politicians voting the wishes of his/her constituency is a pipe dream for us citizens I am afraid.

I cringe every time a talking head or politician uses that phrase, as though they are the ones entitled to use it. " it's an oligarchy stupid! " ( Paul Moyers )
