Art & Intellect Under Attack (Again)

This is a good article written by Michelle Malkin about the White House Office of Public Engagement and how "as part of Obama's 'Winning the Future' initiative, the president designated members of the liberal activist group Creative Coalition as official 'America's Champions of Change for the Arts." Oh gah that sounds so gross. The only "change" I want associated with art is getting rid of finger-paint...and MoMA in general. Oh and Tom Hanks can remember the time when he wasn't a total sell-out.

"Obama's Ministers of Culture and Agitprop"

Michelle's article links to one by the Rutgers professor who made a scene about Rep Paul Ryan's dinner and the $700 worth of wine his associate ordered. She complains that his tax cuts to higher-income earners saddles the rest of the country with sacrifice and that he is gutting Medicare by providing seniors with vouchers to pay for private insurance...and that his associate buying the wine is "terribly wrong" when preparing to "inflict so much pain on so many Americans." Except that weaning people off dependency is actually a GOOD thing and not taking more and more money from people to wastefully spend on government initiatives is also a GOOD thing and that giving them back THEIR money to invest and strengthen this pathetic economy is also a GOOD thing...I'm posting this article just because it highlights misguided liberal rationale and argument-basing...but mostly because I think Paul Ryan is really good looking.

Rutgers Prof: Rep. Paul Ryan's wine choice speaks volumes

(oh and as I already stated, Paul Ryan wasn't even the one who ordered the wine)
