GERTRUDE STEIN (JEWISH NAZI SYMPATHIZER) HONORED AT OBAMA WHITE HOUSE....

Just another campaign tactic to sway liberal Jewish voters, in the arts community. 

Let them make lampshades?

He is disgusting.  I have to tell you, I'm surprised honors didn't go to Soros, that unrepentant Nazi.

Urinating on the Dead: Marine Performance Art?

Filed under Liberalism, Politics, War

You may have heard about American soldiers who urinated on the bodies of some dead Taliban insurgents. I suspect that the dead soldiers tried to kill American soldiers. War is hell. People are killed. Bodies are mutilated, blown to bits by bombs and shrapnel, and incinerated. My father had his right leg blown off in the Korean War. He would have preferred to have been urinated on if he could have kept his leg.

Here’s how Dan Murphy of the Christian Science Monitor reported on the story:

The military is investigating, and appears to have identified the four marines. Their military careers, it’s safe to say, are close to over and a court martial is almost certain. A deeper look into the Marine unit involved and its command environment is coming down the pike. That’s as it should be.

But remember that if you put enough men in combat, for enough time, this sort of thing is likely to happen.

So there’s outrage by public officials and apologies are being sent at the speed of light. Here’s what Congressman Allen West, with more than 20 years of active duty service in the United States Army, had to say about the incident:

The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.

I find all this very interesting in light of another urine incident.

Where were our government officials when artist and photographer Andres Serrano unveiled his “Piss Christ”? It was a photograph of a “small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist’s urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s ‘Awards in the Visual Arts’ competition, which is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.”

What was the response from the art community? Here’s one example:

The art critic Lucy R. Lippard has presented a constructive case for the formal value of Serrano’s Piss Christ, which she characterizes as mysterious and beautiful. She writes that the work is “a darkly beautiful photographic image… the small wood and plastic crucifix becomes virtually monumental as it floats, photographically enlarged, in a deep rosy glow that is both ominous and glorious.” Lippard suggests that the formal values of the image can be regarded separately from other meanings.

In 2010, there was the ants on the crucifix video that was being shown at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery, another government-funded institution. It was later moved to the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Wendy Olsoff, a co-owner of the New York City art gallery that manages Wojnarowicz’s work, said the artist frequently used animals and insects to represent metaphors for interactions in human society. “This was not hate speech,” she said. “It’s a compassionate look at how we live. He’s overlaying the insect world on the human world. … And he used ants in a series of surreal images, using them on guns, clocks and toy soldiers.”

The urinating Marines could argue that all they were doing was engaging in “performance art” that was designed to serve as a metaphor for interactions in human society. And what does the metaphor represent? They were pissed off in seeing their fellow-soldiers killed and for their government sending them off to fight senseless wars.

It’s OK to blow the enemy apart and bath them in blood — and a lot of innocent people as well — but don’t y0u dare urinate on them after you just killed them.

Just one man’s opinion.

I WANT TO PLUG SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDRENS BOOKS

Mathew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda collaborate to make some of the most outstanding pop-up books for children (and adults as a collector's item) I've ever seen. I've loved pop-ups and I think I have one still of Raggedy Ann and Andy.

I have given my granddaughter two. The latest was Reinhart's "Jungle Book" for her birthday It is full of pop-ups, feats of amazing paper engineering. The story of course, is adapted from Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name. Happily, she is an avid reader. (Grandma's real happy about that.)

Sher-Khan, the tiger was so entrancing to her that she folded her hand into a fist and put it in his mouth. There are central pop-ups with many, many layers and in the corners, pockets of more pop-ups.

So if you have a child (or an adult) who: Love books and love art, these books are the perfect
gift. They do have a WOW factor!

My grandson has a fascination for sharks, and that's what he'll be getting for this birthday later this spring.

You can find them on Amazon or in your local bookstores.

NY TERRORIST STREET ART - SOMETHING NEW IN THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/10/terrorist-street-art.html

My advice to New Yorkers, even the most liberal (who should be watching "No Guns for Jews", and "No Guns for Negroes" at the JFPO site, is to purchase a personal weapon, find a place which will teach you how to protect yourself from attack and tell the state anti-gun legislators to go toHELL.

You are not mindless victims or potential victims unless you want to be.

Do you want to be?

What the internet does for me...

As I write this, I am listening to Peo Kindgren who is a classical guitarist from
Sweden, living in Denmark playing "Cavatina". I just listened to his version of "Romance".
Before that, Maria Linnemann, and some of Keituji's new videos on YouTube.com. I confess that I am a YouTube junkie. I love music, and my taste is eclectic - from the bossa novas of Brazil (please meet Marcelo and Sinval Fonseca, who is also a fine artist) and all kinds of jazz ( listen to Bruno Marrazza, here) to Fred and Ginger, to bellydancing, and dogs like Skidboot. Because you can leave comments and return again and again to see what's new, you begin to get to know these artists (and other brave souls) who put their hearts into their hobbies and creative passions. And the same with photographers like my friend, Dwain Shaw and Randy Emmitt - people with the same interests as mine. The world is a big place, as no one needs reminding, but my ever-expanding circle of friends and knowledge, reaches out across a whole planet, to places I never thought of visiting, much less communicating with anyone, sharing our like minds, appreciation and respect for each other's talents.

The internet must remain unregulated and free for all people and all time.
