Just when I come around to the idea of voting for Bush again, he goes and does something I despise...

If this is true, then I give up on America.

I see nothing wrong with government funding for arts, provided there is a commission established to ensure that the works of art funded celebrate liberal and conservative themes equally. For every Maplethorpe atrocity, there should be funding for someone who plans a painted mural showing how important to America the development of the breech loading rifle has been.

It's not a lot of money, and properly administered, it could result in some solid improvement to conservative life.
