OK, I went and read the article. (Heaven help me.)

Firstly, he's a "community organizer". For that, alone, he should be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. America's decline began when we abandoned the tar-pot, the feather-bag, and the fence-rail.

Secondly, he's a self-described leninist. For that, he should be mercilessly flogged following the tar, feathers, and fencerail ride.

Thirdly, he seems to be some sort of feminist. For that, he should be repeatedly kicked in the unmentionables.

Finally, he reveals that he likes a Polish Art Deco painter. Hmmmph! Art Deco is my least favorite of all artistic styles which I do not outright loathe. That's personal.Tamara de Lempicka's work isn't atrocious. Some of it is even fairly good, for Art Deco. But it doesn't hold a candle to Renoir. IMO.

Whether you or I like Art Deco or not, it is a very popular and well-regarded school of art. I happen to like it and to this very day you can occasionally pick up an beautiful artifact for not too much money. Tamara de Lempicka’s work is also very well regarded.

I hope we’re not heading into Glenn Beck art history lessons with this thread!
