   Off topic. Is it just me or are these “czars” become the equivilent of the imans or mullahs in Iran that dictate public behavior. That same Theocracy that protesters are rising against and in some cases, dying for their belief in freedom.

    I found the amounts of money for each item suspiciously small. Almost like payoffs. $25K is not a whole heck of a lot of money. I’ve spent that amount of money in a weekend.

    Moreover, many of these projects sound as if they should have approached the Small Businness Administration for loans. When these recipients put on their ‘shows’, will they sell tickets? Well, if they do, the money should be paid back.

    Another Pelosi boondoggle just like the Presidio turned out to be.

    Of course Pelosi publically says she was not the one who put that little gem into the legislative package.

    But you can bet it was proxy done by one of her little followers who knew to get it done or else.

    Michelle, you’re a Godsend to what’s left of what used to be known as “Journalism” in this country.

    It’s pretty clear now why the donks were in such a hurry to ram the “stimulus” bill through. They didn’t want the Rubes (i.e., the American People) to find out too soon that it’s not just government that they wanted to “stimulate.”

    But that aside, to say in essence that they (the NEA) simply dole out money without any control of oversight is incredible. That only flies in the federal government.

    No company worth investing in or working for, would simply ladle out cash without thorough review of a detailed proposal and then continued oversight as the money is spent.

    Truly artistically talented people and groups tend to get their money from the general public. However, if you tell any of the people or groups in this list that theirs isn’t art, they are going to say we don’t understand art. That’s always been their argument. I’ll never forget a story I once heard, an “artist” got a large grant for a project… his “art” was to give homeless people a $100 bill and video tape their reaction.

Indirectly, they robbed every taxpayer of their wallets, and claimed it was for the “good” of the economy. Many people bought that scam.

    I have a suggestion for Obama if he is serious about cutting wasteful government programs: Eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts!

    Loss of the NEA will not harm our culture; it will benefit it. At the very least, let them get funding exclusively from the private sector. If they don’t survive, it will be because people don’t value their services. There are few tax supported programs more wasteful and ineffective than the democratic sacred cow call the NEA.

    By the way, has Obama announced the elimination of dozens of wasteful government programs as he promised back in April?

    “In the coming weeks, I will be announcing the elimination of dozens of government programs shown to be wasteful or ineffective. In this effort, there will be no sacred cows and no pet projects. All across America, families are making hard choices, and it’s time their government did the same.”

    On topic, The NEA is a complete joke. I remember a few years back one so called artist took his cash and shredded the whole amount so he could make some kind of paper mashie ( spl? ) sculpture out of it. All artists should sink, or swim, on their own dime.

    #1 Sometimes art is pornography. Sometimes pornography is art. It’s all subjective. Perhaps “nudity” or “nekkid peoplez” would have been a more objective term to use.

    Just because one person was willing to overpay for his “art” doesn’t mean he is a well known or appreciated artist. Michelangelo is renowned worldwide and has been for centuries. I really doubt people will recognize Mapelthorpe a hundred years from now. Photographers like Robert Capa or Ansel Adams will still be known, Mapelthorpe is just the flavor of the month among the literati. Of course, he’ll never see that money for his photographs because he’s dead. And how did he die? Great photographer, please.

Medici has nothing to do with deviant behavior now portrayed as “modern art.”

    People of all faiths understand the concept of “nature” and appreciate certain things are just not done. Not because we have a mean, hateful God but because going against the laws of nature, being what it is and is created to be results in atrosities that simply are not good for man. As is apparent if one were so inclined to look around with eyes open.

    lgm, you calling perversion “art” doesn’t make it any less perverted, nor make you the enlighted elitist that you so want to be. You simply aren’t the modern day progressive who is so much more educated and simply above it all. History is full of your counterparts in each society and look what happened to them. You all haven’t discovered a way of life that simply transends conservative prudes. You are just ignorant. History is full of people just like you and their dogma didn’t pass the test time. Every now and again, in every society some rebellious, elistist group pops up and talks about how enlightened they are. pfffttt.

    Why don’t you go all the way back to Verrochio? You know, Leonardo’s teacher? You know, the David they say is a young Leonardo? You’re all about the Medicis anyway.

    What makes Donatello’s David ‘gay’? Is Michelangelo’s Moses gay too?

    Spacey-
    The fact that lgm has to bring in someone’s sexual orientation (perceived or real) continues to prove that he/she would be very much at home at the folsum street festival and really likes to molest little kids.

    The point is that every person would have a list of their favorite artists and I brought up the ones that my college profs tended to focus on. Of course the list would be skewed depending on what medium the artist primarily works in (eg clay, music, paint and etc…) If I recall, the profs didn’t bring up an artists sexual orientation unless it guided the artists work in a significant way. Thats why Liebowicz lesbianism was never addressed since her work wasn’t focused on lesbianism.

    If looking isn’t enough.

    The point is that artists great and small have been produce erotica along with the other good stuff. Christian conservatives have been fighting sex in art at least since Savonarola destroyed as much Renaissance art has he could.

    Well, I am familiar with most of the sculptors you could link to, but I’m really not interested in someone else’s agenda-driven interpretation of their work. My degree is in this field.

    Now. Your mistake is confusing radicals with true Christians. I would never claim Savanarola as ‘christian’. Heh. I wouldn’t call the Taliban orthodox for destroying centuries-old Buddhas in Afghanistan either–would you?

    huggybear, why do “you people” insist on behaving like a click of laughing school girls. Terms like “it’s hilarious,” “you people are laughable,” “LOL at you people,” what is that? An attempt at peer pressure?

    Isn’t “you people” considered a racial pejorative by the left? Had a conservative used that term in any sense, idiots like this would be screaming RACIST! from the rooftops. Why is it lefties operate under different standards?

    Oh … I thought I read here a few times that this clown lgm is a “teacher”? Wonder if his school is aware of his predilection towards gay ‘art”?

    If you watch the YouTube videos of Yuri Bezmenov, Soviet defecter, you will understand why the Democratic Socialist Communists are spending money on these projects.

    It’s called “Demoralization” (or “De-moral-ization”), and it is 1 of the 4 steps of Ideological Subversion, which has been used successfully around the world to turn formerly free countries into Stalinist states.

    1) Demoralization
    2) Destablization
    3) Crisis
    4) Normaliztion

    We are so far along this path that it’s not funny. We truly are on the verge of losing our freedoms and our sovereign nation.

    What should we do? I suggest the following:

    1) Pray

    2) Call your Senators and Representative, and ask them what documents they have inspected to ensure Biden and Obama are Constitutionally qualified to hold their offices, and also how did they determine that Obama is a Natural Born Citizen when the Supreme Court itself (in 1885, more than 6 years after the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution) said in Minor v Happersett:

    The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their [p168] parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.

    No. The point is that tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for it!

    Tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for anyone’s art. Let the films-in-the-buff film buffs pay for their films. Let the symphony goers pay for their symphony houses. Let basket collectors pay the basket weavers.

    And let Satan pay for the accordions. I remember that old Far Side comic strip, where the demon greets the new arrival: “Welcome to Hell. Here’s your accordion.”
