Enough of the Myth that Liberal Democrats Are the Only Real Artists.

I was just over at Post Secret today.

And here's what I found:

"I'm an art major and I'm a Republican. I feel like a fake."

A fake what? Republican? Artist?
Why??

I'll tell you why.

Because the prevailing notion is a liberally motivated stigma on Republicans that paints them intolerant, uncreative, boring, stupid, insensitive, unfeeling, overbearing, morally superior...etc. Which is soooooo ironic for soooooo many reasons.

And conversely, don't feel like a fake Republican because you think that they don't like art or artists. It's simply not true. There are PLENTY of Republican Artists. Myself included. We just don't go bleating about it like so many slaughtered lambs.

When the fuck did the Dems get the market cornered on art?

News Flash:
If most Democrats actually thought about it for a second...especially the Anti-War on Drugs folks, they'd find they have greater Republican leanings than they thought.

Also, to that Artist,
Just remember, Lincoln was a Republican. And he was kind of a big deal.
