The Bush Family believes in reading, arts, sports, and well rounded American citizens.

The Bush family, therefore, can bankroll the aforementioned laundry list.

I love Bush, but this is one program I have to join the bashers on

I have to agree with you and I'm not thrilled with this idea either

But before we go off the deep end .. is there any other information about this, other then the headline from Drudge??

Yes indeed. Did you happen to catch the spending trend for the years 1992-2000?

Exactly. I'm not going to whip myself into a lather until I hear more than an inflammatory Drudge headline. He's not exactly President Bush's biggest fan.

George W. Bush "My name is george and I am a shop-a-holic.... I use the National Credit Card.... your grand-children will be paying for this stuff... so what do you care?"

George W. Bush: "I've just kited (er, written) a check to Alan Greenspan, to be used to buy more printing presses! Alan, please print more money as soon as is humanly possible! I've got ideas, BIG ideas about what your grandchildren should work to pay off."

NEA PAST FUNDING PROJECTS

Warped, hateful stuff. But don't stay up late waiting for the NEA to apologize for this pollution. Instead of conceding, for example, that the bloody mutilation show in Minneapolis was an abomination, NEA chairwoman Jane Alexander insists it was ``a study exploring modern day martyrdom as it relates to AIDS.'' (If you don't understand, you must be a yahoo.)

No one is forced to buy Time magazine or advertise in its pages. It pays for its art with private funds. Yet Time shows more consideration for public sensibilities and opinion than the NEA, whose every dollar comes out of your pockets and mine.

When the NEA was created in 1965, nobody said anything about ``Testicle Stretch'' or glorifying rapists. Elitist and insufferable, it has become as grotesque a travesty as the ones it subsidizes. The time has come to shut it down.

ANOTHER strategic error.

I can't believe that Karl Rove is urinating on the base like this.

Yes, I did...and I noticed it in the eighties, too.

But, if it goes to fund patriotic art- what's wrong with that? A good use of money, so far as I'm concerned.

Don't use the government to stick a gun in our face and confiscate our property for something that YOU think is "a good use of money". That's immoral.

If you think it's "a good use of money" use YOUR own money.

the national endowment for the arts is the organization that funds urinating on the Christain cross.

You know what's amazing is that the same people who say "Bush isn't a real Conservative" everyday are the same people on FR who want Condi RINO Rice for POTUS in 2008.

If you thought Bush was a bad President then you're going to suicidal during a Rice Presidency.

I just came on line after hearing this news on the radio. I have not read the thread yet, but I can say one thing...I am MAD !!

Are there no standards left to fight for Mr. Bush ? Just WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR ?

The same old statements made in post after post on subjects questioning Pres. Bush, that it is better than the alternative, are getting more and more meaningless to me.

IS THERE ANY PERSON LEFT IN THE WORLD THAT WILL STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT?

....or should I just throw another $$ at the artist that took the cross and dumped it in a jar of URINE ?????????????
