sounds like ithaca... you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.In my opinion, I think it’s because libs like to live in fantasyland a/k/a the only place where their ideas actually work.
They can have most of it, i sure would not want it.
Because that is an area taken over by the marxists in the 1920's/1930's and perpetuated to this day by academic tenure which is nothing more than an ideological vetting process.

Because working for a living sucks.
commies took refuge there.
unionistas took refuge there (with their commie buddies).
naive idealists took refuge there, to ‘change the world’ and ‘influence society’.
people with grudges and radical agendas took refuge there, to ‘change the world’ and ‘influence society’.
sounds like ithaca... you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.The inverse of why conservatives own work.
She’s onto something. They desperately need to appear avant-garde.
I guess that depends on what you call “art”
So they get all feely and they do some arts thingies. Then they go out and vote for Obama because Obama makes them feeeel so good.
Among actors, for example, strong male leads tend to be more conservative than their professional colleagues. Their acting style if often criticized as wooden or understated, unlike emotion driven method actors.
Life experience matters though, such as with Robert Downey, Jr., who went from liberal to conservative due to his experiences as a drug addict. This supports the observation that conservatism is grounded in the sometimes harsh realities of life.
Because weak Conservatives support them by purchasing movie tickets, DVDs, concert tickets, and various music media.
There no money in average art or average music or average acting, unless the government steps in to help...
They have great imaginations. They are not burdened by reality.
Good method actors can make themselves believe a fantasy. The fantasy is real to them. This is also a trait required of Leftists.
if you think differently then answer why the trayvon bs was the top news story for months? why was everyone talking about that bs? that's news? that's important to everyone's lives? or would that story help advance the democrats anti gun agenda ? it's the latter . there are no news stories only event s that will advance socialism
news reporters are all democrat political activists. a socialist/democrat becomes a reporter in order to advance socialism (their religion). it's so that reporter can have a captive audience to listen to them evangelize ( the morons watching the TV news on tv think it's news but it’;s not it's political , a political sermon, a religions sermon. ) and it is a religion because the God of democrats is government and they don't believe in a God.. we are fighting a rabid cult that aims to turn the USA into a socialist state where the gov owns everything including all power over us. that's called socialism/marxism/collectivism. the individual has no right to own property, no rights at all , no freedom. only when you own property can you direct your own life. socialists want the state to redistribute all wealth , all property as they see fit. so similarly they took over other institutions, acedemia, the sciences, arts , gov schools etc., as they did the media to change the world , for socialism.
They are “Style” over Substance. In truth they have neither.
The nail was hit on the head with the word, PERCEPTION.
As both a fiction and nonfiction writer in my time, I can tell you that a lot of libs parrot a lot of ideas, but cannot really come up with something poignant. As with younger speakers of the language today, a lot of half-finished expressions of thought were evoked, choked with the standard ‘ya know’, ‘like’, ‘understand’, or ‘it may be that’, instead of one complete sentence, with A verb and A noun, that makes sense. The very ‘perception’ that you, the listener, can decode what the speaker has just stated, and come to a solid conclusion, IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE to them! “So it was spoken, so let it be written!”

It’s amazing that they claim to be great supporters of the arts but everytime you turn around, some museum is in financial trouble or some artist is begging for money to complete a project. And then they complain about corporate greed, all the while accepting corporate sponsorship to show their work.
