NUDE ART THREAD!!!!

FTFA: "Nude women, sculptured women," he told the state Republican platform committee, which sat in rapt attention

That line amused me.

So art of nude men still ok?

That's it, were giving Texas back to Mexico. The lazy SOB doesn't even have the dignity to go see these things himself. He just said he "heard about" the nudes.

 
wpmulligan 2008-06-13 11:59:18 AM  
Mr. Hurt offered statistics: He'd heard that 20 percent of the art in the National Gallery of Art is of nudes.

I'll offer statistics: I've heard that 20 percent of Texas Republican have a brain.

 
mrmaster 2008-06-13 11:59:21 AM  
Guess he needs to look around his own state first and see the LIVE nude women before complaining about some stone nekkids.

The GOP platform will be presented today to the full convention. Like all platforms, it's a statement of principle and a political document to rally the troops.

In this, a presidential year, it advocates prayer in school, getting out of the United Nations, teaching intelligent design with evolution in science classes, repealing of the minimum wage, declaring illegal immigrants criminals and outlawing abortion with no exceptions.


Wow, when I said I wasn't as inclined to favor voting for the GOP anymore, they apparently decided they didn't want my vote for anything again, ever.

Well, except for the 'illegal immigrants' thing, which is kind of redundant since they're already criminials. A more comprehensive or at least better thought-out enforcement scheme for that would be nice, though, yeah.

"That may not always be the best political strategy," platform committee chairman Kirk Overbey said Thursday. "But we're here to say we're sticking by our principles."

Good, you're going to die a slow death that way. It wasn't nice knowing you.

This is important people! Don't belittle him!

Think of the children who witness this. I would rather my child see a lynching 10 times a day than see "art" depicting a nekkid woman.

You people make me sick.

The report did not mention that 5 members of the Texas Republican delegation drooled over the statue of David.

Or maybe they do...maybe they're the ones doing it.

FTFA (re: the GOP platform)

In this, a presidential year, it advocates prayer in school, getting out of the United Nations, teaching intelligent design with evolution in science classes, repealing of the minimum wage, declaring illegal immigrants criminals and outlawing abortion with no exceptions.

Next up: declaring computers illegal, outlawing all other religions and bringing back steam engines. The polar opposite of progress.

1) Wayne Slater, TFA's author, is pretty seriously biased. Which is fine, except the man can't write to save his life. Instead of a well-organized right-leaning piece, we are presented with a sloppy laundry list of Christian-right homilies.

2) I thought we got past all of this when we booted boobie-covering whatsisname from the Attorney General's office a few years back.

The dumbass tag does not find this amusing and those statues are naked. The special spelling of nekkid should only be used to refer to someone who's w/o clothes and is up to some kind of shenanigans.

/the dog has spoken

 
Koalaesq 2008-06-13 12:02:30 PM  
Jim_Callahan Well, except for the 'illegal immigrants' thing, which is kind of redundant since they're already criminials.

Not criminals. They are only violating a statute, not a criminal law.

Wow, that's a lot of brain for one republican. The average brain is what, 9, 11 pounds at most? Is your hypothetical Republican some sort of super-intelligent alien from mars? Does he ride around in a robot and yell at the Shredder constantly?

//Only picking on you because of the irony of your error's context.

The are also biatching about scholarships for their kids:

"There are so many scholarships, if you are the right color," she said. "But for a white girl, who has good grades, you really have to look."

Oh noes!! You have to LOOK?? Heavens FORFEND a little white girl has to LOOK for a scholarship. Some of those liberal communist freedom hating scholarship endowments make you even apply!!!!111

/hates hearing people biatching about private scholarships for minorities.

Having lived there for 25 years, I can say that there are sane, intelligent people living in the State of Texas, but very very rarely do they ever end up on a committee for the state Republican party.

 
hachijuhachi 2008-06-13 12:04:29 PM  
It sickens me that while people go hungry, THIS is the kind of crap politicians (some, not all) sorry themselves with.

BAH!
