Forget that. End the program. Why the hell do we have a “NEA?”

One of his best movies, and few have seen it...

“Paradise Alley”

I hope Mr Stallone brings his axe and hoe and chops out the roots and life of the Agency.

On the Waterfront is a lot more than a boxing/romance movie. It was made in the time of the HUAC hearings, when naming names about who was fellow-traveling with the Soviets could get you blacklisted in Hollywood. The movie is about the courage it takes to speak up about evil people who like to work in secret and terrorize others to keep it that way. Elia Kazan’s career suffered from his decision to make this movie. Rocky is OK, but took no special moral courage to produce.

I don’t know about him being a devout Christian.

A few years back, he was becoming more spiritually minded, regarding his Catholic roots.

Anyway, I have no problem with the NEA (I love the arts) as long as it’s not being used to bash Christ and/or Christianity.

And I don’t mind having Sylvester Stallone being over the NEA, because I consider myself a fan.

I just heard of thousands of libretards spinning their heads at the news of Rocky’s 160 IQ.

Where is the EXorist?
You are needed immediately!

Somebody please show me where the NEA is a power granted by the Constitution to the feds.

You know a faster way to eliminate an agency, than to put somebody in charge who will work hard to ensure that the grants the agency issues, go ONLY to conservatives?

WTF? Trump needs to annihilate that godforsaken National Endowment For The Arts. It’s a crap organization and in no way Constitutional.

Kill NPR.
Kill bi-lingual signage, teaching, ballots, manuals, etc. English only.

Amazing how you play a slow-witted guy in one film and the world concludes that you're a moron.

As another example, Dolph Lundgren, who also has played "muscle head" roles like the Russian boxer Rocky IV, has a Masters degree in chemical engineering.

Yes, the agenda should be to hire someone who’s goal is the elimination of his agency and his job. Not easy to find those folks but that is EXACTLY what is needed. Maybe Stallone could be that guy in the NEA. I hope so

You’ve heard of this thing called “politics”, right ? Putting a Hollywood star in charge of NEA would be a sop to them but it is a position where his gun control idiocy wouldn’t come into play. It’s not like a position in Justice or DHS or FBI or ATF.
