The politicization of the Arts continues. Sigh.

With all due respect, the "artists" you defend are the ones who started it.

They're the ones who take taxpayer money to put scrap metal piles in front of our public buildings and call it "sculpture." They're the ones who use taxpayer funds to show photos of crucifixes in jars of urine and pictures of the Virgin Mary made from elephant sh!t in the museums. They're the ones who took federal money given to schools for the "arts" and used it to encourage kids to send Christmas ornaments made out of sex toys to the White House so Hillary Clinton could display them on the Christmas tree.

And when we object to this abuse of taxpayer funds, they call us uncultured rubes, ignorant hicks, hayseeds, Bible bangers and Nazis.

They're the ones who turn out "music" that encourages drug use, violence toward women and the murder of police officers. Lest we forget, the music industry gave its highest honor this year to a gang of no-talent smack-heads (Green Day) whose "accomplishment" was nothing more than putting 45 minutes or so of non-stop Bush bashing and America bashing on a CD and selling it to their fellow pierced-scrotum losers nodding off in front of MTV.

And when we object to this coarsening of our culture and debasing of our incredibly rich, incredibly unique musical heritage, they call us uncultured rubes, ignorant hicks, hayseeds, Bible bangers and Nazis.

They're the ones who churn out movies made by scriptwriters who can't write, directed by directors who can't direct and played on screen by actors who can't act. The only thing they can do is relentlessly shove their far left agenda down our throats, promoting open public flaunting of homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, pedophilia and complete centralized government control of every single aspect of our lives (not theirs, of course, they're above that) outside the bedroom.

Many of us can remember a time when Hollywood made truly great movies, some that we even disagreed with but still recognized as good films. Films that served a purpose other than openly mocking us and all our values. And when we lament the passing of that era and express our disgust at the communist sewage flowing out of Hollyweird these days, we're called uncultured rubes, ignorant hicks, hayseeds, Bible bangers and Nazis.

The "Arts" community has shown us all too often just how much contempt and scorn and hatred they have for us. So please spare me your sanctimonious hand-wringing over us giving back to them what they give to us.

I'm not talking about goverment-funded 'art'. There are lots of good movies.

Please tell me about that Christmas ornament sex toy story; anything we can use against Hitlery at this point is useful.
