San Francisco liberals censor Life of George Washington and WPA art

Censorship is the first step toward liberal tyranny. First, liberals came for the Confederate Flag. Then the statues of our Confederate leaders. Classic literature is being censored (10 Literary Classics That Have Been Banned). Now, like-minded liberal groups who defend Robert Mapplethorpe or Andres Serrano’s artistic images of the Christian Crucifix submerged in urine, want to destroy the Americana art of the 1940’s. Victor Arnautoff is one of the foremost muralists in the San Francisco area during the Depression. His work of art The Life of George Washington is from the “New Deal” era. Its erasure is just the next step in historical censorship designed to ignore, or rewrite, America’s history. Unfortunately, this is not the first art attack.

good points.

“Piss Christ” is ok, and a great expression of “art” and “artistic license”.

A mural of George Washington which also depicts Indians and black slaves, is so offensive that it must be banned.

It’s amazing where we are with issues such as this.

Something I didn’t know was that artists doing New Deal(1930s) art work were forbidden from doing magazine covers and illustrations for publishers.

these are the same morons who condemn the McCarthy era.

Time to respond in kind. Paint over graffiti, increase the penalties for such, destory any murals in public spaces supporting unions or progressivism or particular sexes or races as hate speech and giving preference to one over another.

Of course had this been a union or minority mural some judge somewhere would halt it immediately. But because it’s pro-American (and not even that because it was meant to be an “honest” view of America’s sins with slaves and Indians (not that that matters to these brainless morons) they’ll spend $600000 to destroy it while homeless defecate in their streets for lack of funding.

This country will be unrecognizable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s already unrecognizable as the country of my youth.
Four consecutive Presidents (technically three and an usurper) allowing 30+ million fraudulently documented foreigners in on top of 30 million documented foreigners has US nearly to being North Mexico as Daddy Bush dreamed.

The mindset of the era was that jobs were scarce and needed to be rationed to everyone.

Painting over this art is just sick. You'd think they could be content with hanging drywall sheet or even a piece of plywood over it and painting on THAT.

Someday, a future generation might appreciate it

The American people are waking up to the fact that the ideology of the Left is a fantasy world used to keep them with the program. I call it the Unicorn Farm. Those who voice opposition to the program are told to shut up and sit down. It is a mental disorder that does this. It is the Totalitarian Mindset which will accept no fact-based criticism. They want to disconnect any lines of communication that reveals the fraud of their criminal ideology. The destruction of America’s past is like the Muslims, destroying artifacts and writings of the past. Censureship has become a weapon against the culture they want to erase. This is why they want to silence Donald Trump in the worst way. Donald Trump is spreading the word of truth about their operation. He is lifting the veil because he knows what is in back of the veil. And the Fake Media and their minions are doing everything they can to discredit it, using character assassination to turn their disciples against them (they are the deplorables) and paying protesters, like Antifa, to terrorize Trump supporters. The entertainment sector has been turned into an organ of propaganda. “Saturday Night Live” is looking for a way to give the knockout punch like they did Sarah Palin. The Fake Media, which is struggling to survive, has promoted the fraud, like the poll numbers, for their own self interests and are paid off like cheap whores.

The elephant in the room is the Marxist ideology, like a beast that the Left wants to shove down the throats of the American people. Candidates like Bernie Sanders and his indoctrinated disciples, live in the fantasy world on the Unicorn Farm and do not want the veil to be lifted that would reveal the fraud of their ideology. It is the Big Lie. The Marxist core does not want the American people to know the truth of what they are doing. This destruction of a historic mural is part of a transformation from a free America to a world of the past, where the elites control the masses.

“Liberals censor Life of George Washington and WPA art...”

I wish writers would stop dignifying opponents of freedom of speech, assembly, press, thought, free markets, the rule of law/Constitutions, etc., by calling them Liberals. They are various subspecies of anarchists, communists, and fascists, but Liberals they are not. We need to recognize the nature of the enemy and confront them accordingly.
