WARNING: The following post is for Adults only and will probably turn your stomach.
I've never been a fan of using federal dollars to fund art. In my opinion, if art is good, it will be commercially successful without government funding. If it isn't, it shouldn't be funded.
The National Endowment for the Arts received $80 million of the government's trillion dollar stimulus package. That money has been used for things such as the weekly pervert revue at the "Frameline" film house. Every week, this "art-oriented" theater shows a film that most of us would find not simply disturbing, but downright disgusting. Tax dollars also fund the weekly production "Perverts Put Out" at San Francisco's CounterPULSE, who invites guests to join in the "explicit, twisted fun." CounterPULSE received government funds in the "dance" category.
These aren't isolated incidents, either. While there are no statistics, it seems that much of the money going to "art and culture" (not all of which goes through the National Endowment for the Arts, and accounts for much more than the $80 million that the NEA received from the Generational Theft Act) goes to "projects" and "artistic endeavors" that the average American would find objectionable.
The Symmetry Project is a dance that depicts the "sharing of a central axis: spine, mouth and genitals" and celebrates their interconnectedness.
Liberals would jump and scream if a single tax dollar were to fund a church service or a prayer meeting. But these same people have no problem at all using dollars meant to stimulate the economy to stimulate the senses of the perverted citizens of San Francisco.
