National Gallery of Art Blocks Woman With Pro-Life Lapel Pin

Washington, DC -- The National Gallery of Art is coming under fire from a pro-life advocate who says officials there prevented her from entering the facility because she had a pro-life lapel pin. Meghan Duke writes about her experience in a blog post at the First Things web site.

The US Government - your enemy.

Who is this guy Art, and why does he have his own gallery anyway?

"Who is this guy Art, and why does he have his own gallery anyway?"

He's probably related to the fella named Will, at whom for some reason armies tend to fire.

Once upon a time, these pro-abortion abusers got away with treating everyday people like scum. We were always so nice to them...and silent about their abuses. Those days are over.

If the lady in question was (1) Muslim (2) wore a burka and (3) treated this badly, the National Gallery of Art would now be a pile of smoldering ruins.

I say, we Christians really are too damn nice.

These guards have to be two of the stupidest people on Earth.

I’m with you on this.

Particularly in light of the Tim Tebo case.

People need to turn the argument around on them and point out that THEY are intolerant, hateful, speech denying bigots for not agreeing with OUR point of view.

[fullchroma]

The hypocritical, dictatorial Left hard at work and WE are paying their inflated, government salaries.

Furthermore, since when is a completely secular, pro-life image deemed “religious” simply for its being pro-life? Pure, unworldly cornball.

As a life-long, rabid, pro-life agnostic, I take umbrage.

If you have been to DC, you know what these “guards” are like.

If they didn’t have this job they would be unemployed.

“We’re sorry Presdient Obama but we are not allowed to admit any muslim terrorists who are actively attempting to destroy America; also, because you are NOT a natural born citizen of America we cannot admit you. In addition, you are not allowed to bring a Wookie in with you!”

"The combination of me, wearing a pro-life pin, in a federal building was a violation of the separation of church and state," she explained.
If that happend to me, the guard would have been knocked on her @ss.
I mean it. Enough of this crap - fight back damn it!
The sooner the Left knows we WILL fight back, the sooner this will stop.

The sooner the Left knows we WILL fight back, the sooner this will stop.

That is going to be one empty museum. I hope this flap goes nationwide, and they get boycotted or protested this summer. The headlines should read: National Gallery of Art Muzzles Free Expression!

We could also go the other way.... design something that looks like an exploded human being, wear it as a lapel pin and call it ABORTION ART! Wear it over your burka with pride. We need to start yanking some chains!

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"

I would have quoted that second half of the "religion clause" -- and then walked past, around, or right over the top of those dumb@$$3$!!!
