The Lefties at the Smithsonian would never have the cojones to display and ant-covered Muhammad, but they're very, very brave when it comes to insulting people they know won't harm them.

Not only that, those who support these “arts” are considered accomplices. I quit supporting the Smithsonian when they honored Margaret Sanger.

Uh huh. No intention to offend...

Well, Martin, let’s place your naked mother or sister in the doorway of the Smithsonian and spread their legs waaaay apart and tie them down and stick an ant covered pole in them so everyone can watch and take pictures.

With not intention of offending you, of course.

This is winning the battle and losing the war. Conservatives should not focus on removing crass pictures of Jesus or other art attacking Christianity. Conservatives need to defund government spending on the arts and media, period. I wouldn’t care if the funding only went to paint copies Norman Rockwell paintings and American flags, the government should not be involved in the arts, period.

If any of us did this in real life, real world jobs - we would be fired on the spot. “Oh - hi customer! Here is an atrocious piece of filth presented as a product!”

The fact there is even a question means the chain of command should be fired.

Earlier Tuesday, the museum was under fire for hosting the exhibit that also includes depictions of homoerotic art and an image of Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts.

Since when did Ellen DeGeneres accure breasts? ? ?

"I regret that some reports about the exhibit have created an impression that the video is intentionally sacrilegious," the statement read. "In fact, the artists's intention was to depict the suffering of an AIDS victim. It was not the museum's intention to offend.

Jesus was not an AIDS victim.

Well said! Or we could demand that all art that infers religion, be photo shopped to include ALL religions. Could someone photoshop antcovered Jesus to antcovered Mohammad?

Christians certainly are good at loving their enemies and forgiving those who do evil against us, one of the difficult tenets of our faith. Had this clown offended Muslims, he would have been beheaded.

However, Jesus never said that His followers should contribute their hard-earned money to keeping blasphemers in their cushy government jobs.

I don’t question the right of the “artist” to create the work or show it. I object to this all being done on the public dime. I love the arts! Hell I would rather go up to Chicago and see the Art Institute than go to a beach any day. Sooner or later though somebody is going to have to pull the public rug out from under the NEA. It needs to be sink or swim.

I called the museum yesterday and gave them a perspective on their so-called “art”. The lady had the nerve to hang up on me so I called the office of the head of the Smithsonian and gave them the what for. I recommend everyone call them and voice your displeasure about their shameless BS.

Right. It's like the hippy freaks in the 60s putting a dot on a white canvas and calling it art or throwing buckets of paint against a canvas and calling it art. Art - no. Liberal, lazy @ss hippy freaks - yes. Now, they combine hatred and anger with their no talent work and call it art. Same no talented, self hating, liberal, hippy freaks - different year. They insult Christians because we are an easy target for their hatred. Insult Mooslems and they would be painting with a brush in their teeth and holding their palette with two nubs. Cowards.
