Funny but I never recall once making fun of democrats in the whole or calling them names for their beliefs. That seems to occur frequently on the democratic side. Sure I take a shot at left wing belief systems. Primarily because they have been so effective at inserting their morality and cultural relativism into almost every aspect of daily life. I have the ability to know what they are thinking because their actions and verbal and written positions usually foretell their beliefs. It's just as rare to find an unopinionated left winger as a right winger. Obviously, I do not know what any specific individual may think, but one can make some assessments of the general mindset. The left is prone to call anyone on the right a Teabagger, Whack Job, Wing Nut, etcetera, including the group as a whole. I do not see this generalized name calling from the right unless you construe lefty or leftwing as derogatory or pay attention to extremists blogs.


Now, at what point did cow nipple clothing become acceptable as art.

So what was that but an attribution of lousy art to the yearnings of the left.

He may be right in a way he didn't intend. Virtually all artists (who are worth a chit, anyway) seem to lean left. I can hardly think of much good contemporary art done by conservatives. Commercial Nashville dreck is a case in point. And Mel Gibson.

Come now, Mel was good till he fell off the Evil Jew Banker wagon.

And you'll always have Mapplethorpe

Damn, your're right, I can't think of a right wing artist. I was just pointing out that today virtually anything can be considered art. Perhaps, it has always been this way, but I'm firmly in the geometric and classical beauty side. Anytime I tried my hand at art it came out looking like a geometry proof.

As a visual artist I can tell you...beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
I have done maybe two landscapes in all my years...and found them too confining.
As for cow nipple dresses...there's a sucker (pun intended) born every minute.

Chip Foose is a hack that ruins nice cars with shaving door handles, taking off emblems and putting those stupid ass big ugly wheels and tires on classics.
