AR-15 art display draws fire...

[ezkl2230]

Art Prize, the world's largest art competition, is about to get underway in Grand Rapids, MI. This morning, an article appeared in local media talking about the stir being caused by a drawing of an AR-15. The exhibit is accompanied by erasures, and the idea from the artist is for the drawing to be erased during the course of the competition, a message about erasing "gun violence." Yet, the same people who say that the artist who put together the Kentucky Horse S*** project (yes, that really is its name), a series of photos featuring people with horse manure in their mouths, should be free to express himself without fear of censorship, are the same people rushing forward to question whether a drawing of an AR-15 is appropriate.

Of course my friend,you just don't understand it's really very simple. What they write and believe in is the truth and your beliefs are nothing,little things like constitutional rights well they only work when they're an advantage to there agenda any other time it's just a problematic document written millions of years ago by a bunch of white slave owners that didn't understand society, just ask them.So yes they have every right to attack your beliefs but whatever you do don't say anything to them because you will hurt there feelings.

Well, so long as the eraser is in the picture, we know it will be all right. Mayor blooming idiot must approve.

What would be really, really great art is if as the picture of the AR-15 is erased, it reveals a picture of the world gone to heck in a handbasket.

One thing I know... this piece of artwork wouldn't be allowed to be shown in several schools throughout our country. If a student can get suspended for eating a Pop Tart into the shape of what the teacher thought was a gun, could you imagine all the posturing when this picture came through the doors?

Erase America's favorite long gun, and you see the real criminals of our time appear, CIC, Alphabet Soup Agencies, Judicial Branch, Legislative Branch, Bloomberg and dozens of other government entities, who think they are above the law, and are ruining our country. Wouldn't it be nice if the truth were to be exposed under that drawing?

Yeah, that's it; erase a figure of a rifle used in less than 1 or 2 percent of crimes committed with firearms, and completely forget about insane criminals murdering, raping, robbing, carjacking home invading, and doing heinous atrocities against innocent people.

Then the few that are actually prosecuted, are let out of prison early! To do the same thing!

This "art" shows how stupid an exhibit may become, and caters to an equally stupid audience.
