It’s Not A Temple

August 28, 2008

Filed under Politics, Splashes

If I hear one more conservative stating that Obama plans to speak from a makeshift “Temple of Obama” at the Democratic Convention, I’m going to scream. Classical architecture has long been associated with government. What was the symbol for your college’s Student Government? I’d bet it had a column in it. What do the White House, Supreme Court, and Capital Building (among other historic government buildings) have in common? Columns. Maybe, just maybe it’d make sense for a politician running for a major role in government to use symbols of government in his campaign. Nope, couldn’t be that simple, it apparently means Obama thinks he’s a god.

  1. Damn “Ionic versus Doric” partisanship!

    Still, isn’t there just a little bit of irony in a progressive party and candidate using classical backdrops? /teasing

    Just please, no tanks with somersaulting dolphins, right? ;-)
