Oh, I feel so lame and uncool.

So uncool, that I actually GOOGLED Mobity Mosely. Turns out he starred circa 1971. I was a mere infant. But I'd love to see a picture of him. No pics that I could find on the web.

It's about time someone in the Republican Party, besides me and other right-wingers, actively vied to do away with the endowment of the arts...but of course to democrats that somehow means we hate the arts...which isn't true.

No, you just hate the art that you don't approve of or runs contrary to your views, as if your disapproval somehow lessens its value as art.

No, I just think there are other ways to fund these things. I am a singer/songwriter who is passionate about music, so I don't think it really has anything to do with "art". I want to get rid of the department of education too...it doesn't mean I hate teachers!

And...btw...you are correct about one thing. I REALLY don't want my tax money going to something that promotes art depicting a crucifix submerged in urine.

Thats because you're a Catholic and you worship idols. truly, the Catholics imbue holy attributes to relics and whatnot. Which, if you strictly interpret the Commandments, is against God's law. The Golden Calf, the holy relics, and even "The Pope" are examples of endowing other items/people with holy power. Its actually an abomination in God's eyes......

As for Art, it is a highly subjective arena....I myself dont care for Picasso, but many do, so I say to them, carry on! Me, I'll look at Peter Max or Erte or something else

Where the hell did that come from! Which by the way none of that is true. Catholic apologetics is one of my specialties...so please lets not get on that topic!

Goodbye to the National Endowment of the Arts...or heres hoping anyways!
