The funding to all of these places needs to be ended. The arts are great, but, I don’t want my money going to this junk. It’s insulting to most Americans. They can call it what they want but, let them do it on their own dime.
How would the Washington Post react if the Smithsonian Institution exhibited art depicting the Koran being used as toilet paper or Mohammad being raped by a pack of goats???
Disgusting. The name, Gopnick, strikes me as apropos.
DISGUSTING!! Vile crap paid for by US, the Taxpayers!! DISGUSTING! What sickos go to see this crap??
Gopnik says, that Rockwell, which I believe insults a huge number of the non-mainstream folks. What 10? This makes me sick to my stomach. Personally this has gone to far and so has our government.
This is just “post-modern art”. Another term for “amateurish crap by frauds”.
Your tax dollars at work.
This has turned into a big free for all and according to these people your homophobic if you don’t like it. Then we need to pull all the money from the arts that our tax dollars pay for. Let them fund this trash themselves.
Oh, what unmitigated, hypocritical argle-bargle. Ask them if "use of public dollars" does not give the Federal government the "right to micromanage" formerly private universities, county highway departments, and every other FReepin' thing ... and they'll tell you that of course it does. A university that accepts students using government-backed loans or grants has to follow any rule the Feds want to put on them.
Is there something inappropriate about being homophobic? Although I find the word meaningless (fear of people?)its application to those who consider male to male buggering a particularly nasty business is ridiculous. I fear the unbridled assault on morality perpetuated by the buggering community and nurtured by the MSM and cultural elites. I do not refer to my sentiments as homophobic. They are, more properly, sodophobic.
Blake Gopnik is queer. Of course he likes the show. It’s not just the National Portrait Gallery that’s degenerate. It’s the Washington Post.
I don’t know. Pat Buchanan editorializing over genitals...
Can we be far from the fate of the Cities on the Plain?
Not even 10 righteous could be found there...
Nauseating placemark for nauseating pingout tomorrow.
word!
the last thing I want to think about is queers sodomizing each other, even if they claim they “love” each other. it’s just gross. two male bodies are not compatible for the bugging for a reason. ever tried to plug two male ends of extension cords together? it doesn’t work! now, if you turn one of the male plugs into a female plug, thats what God intended!
Be a shame to ban the likes of Michelangelo and other great artists of the Renaissance. Merely because some of their works violate Victorian Era ideals of modesty.
It may not be what we want to show our kids. But some of the great art of the world. And pieces commissioned by the Church particularly during the Renaissance show men, women and children in states of undress that later horrified those in the Victorian era.
Seems what is being advocated here is to throw out the baby with the bath water. The complaint appears to be against 3 pieces (and mostly 1 video) included in a display about how the homosexual lifestyle influenced art over the last century. Not something most of us would seek to view much less take children too.

Modern "art" is merely another arm of leftist nihilistic libertine homo-faggism. Not one drop of tax money should go to any art, ever, whatsoever. Maybe sometime in the future when leftist libertine homo-faggism is in the trash bin where it belongs, people could volunteer their tax money for art. But until then, defund, fumigate and empty out all so-called "art" which is in reality the sickening tantrums of mentally ill perverts from any and all public buildings. If people want to scream "censorship", fine with me. Scream yourself sick but no taxpayer money should ever go to support sick, perverted, obscene and filthy rantings by mentally ill blasphemous sex perverts.
Yeah, but those cities weren't as big as we are.
It might just about be equal proportionately.
