I know.
I'm just venting about the views of those in power in the art world.
In my area, I'm listed as the 'lone conservative' among my 'peers' in the art world. Those in 'power' sneer at me while those on my level respect my choice of philosophy and redfusal to prostitute my views. They still disagree with me and consider me a step above Belial, but they respect me.
Ironic, in a way.

Wish there was a way to get more conservatives into the art world.
The more of us there are, the harder the usurping of standards will be.

I live just outside of New York and most of my artist friends have a dim view of the leftist/PC politicized work in the NY galleries or at the Whitney. They might not all be politically right wingers but they have a high sense of art so they don't groove on the currently silliness that permeates the scene. As a rule I don't get into politics with the art scene people that I don't know well but if the subject comes up it is easier being a libertarian. Just the name republican or conservative sets these people off and they never get past that to listen to what you say. Since I became a libertarian I found it makes discussion with these types more civil even though they disagree.
