Time to defund the National Endowment for the Arts

It has become just another mouthpiece with our tax dollars for Obama. It’s not that hard to make a living in the arts without government money if you paint, or write, or sing, or perform something decent, intelligent and not demeaning to women. Starving artists probably deserve to be so. My husband sold 11 paintings this summer and he’s a hobbyist. They are lobbyists.

Go here to check the links. I’ve looked at them. It’s disgusting. I'm sure they'll be pulled. In this case, the NEA is getting directions straight from the White House Office of Public Engagement (Valerie Jarrett). The Office's Deputy Director is Buffy (the Wal-Mart slayer) Wicks who made the conference call soliciting NEA artists to promote Obamacare with their art. According to Frugal Cafe, "her job is to silence conservatives, to spearhead boycotts (paid for by American taxpayers, including conservatives, by the way) against any businesses or talk show hosts who aren’t “on board” with ObamaCare or anything else the government wants to shove down American citizens’ throats. To support and possibly fund partisan agenda, AGAIN with taxpayers’ money." According to Canada Free Press
    "My sources in the progressive movement say Wicks handled the Obama campaign in Missouri last year. Obama lost in Missouri and activists in that state and people within the Obama campaign placed the blame for the defeat squarely on her shoulders.

    After failing to win Missouri for Obama, Wicks had a very hard time finding a job but somehow she landed a job in the Obama White House. It’s unclear how she did that.

    Wicks used to work for Wake Up Wal-Mart (wakeupwalmart.com), which is not a formal affiliate of ACORN but is an ACORN-sponsored spinoff group. The group works very closely with ACORN and is modeled after ACORN’s own anti-Wal-Mart affiliate W*A*R*N* (Wal-Mart Alliance for Reform Now)."
If some lackey gets moved or fired, even Buffy, don't you believe that has solved the problem, because nothing happens in the White House without Ms. Jarrett, Obama's right hand.

There are many reasons for defunding the NEA, the most important of which is that it promotes degenerate art and excludes any artist who does not express the ideoogical hum-drum of atheist materialism. Thank you for your wonderful article and blog. Intellectuals such as yourself are able to remind viewers of elementary philosophical definitions pertaining to art, starting with one that all philosophers have agreed upon, namely "good and bad." If good and bad is routinely applied in all the other domains of thought, then it certainly applies to art. Artists themselves are in agreement on this point.
