TITLE: Piss Christ
ARTIST: Andres Serrano
its just amazing to me, that with all of the Misogyny , lack of tolerance, violence and the rest that is prevalent in other religions as Serrano chose this as his piece and was championed as a 'disturbing but artistic statement on how belief and spirituality has been debased'.
No one has stepped forward using some such alike Icon, to create same artistic statement speaking to Islams 'disturbing but artistic statement on how belief and spirituality has been debased'. And I think we know why.
Excellent example of the government of the United States using taxpayer funds to deprecate religion, and Christianity in particular.
And the Obama administrtion used the same strategy to prop up its far left wing agenda:
1. White House Ministry of Propaganda:
a. At first glance, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) conference call of August 10th, 2009 sounds innocent enough because its supposedly been organized by Michael Skolnik, political director for Russell Simmons and someone not officially associated with any government agency. Skolnik appears to be acting independently as a concerned citizen and to have taken it upon himself to gather together a group of artists and art organizations hoping to move them towards national service.
b. the conference call was a ruse, a front for a White House using Skolnik as a kind of beard in order to put an innocent spin on their abuse of the NEA and two non-partisan volunteer organizations (United We Serve an initiative overseen by The Corporation for National and Community Service a federal agency, and the White House Office of Public Engagement).
c. Skolnik states openly that the White House and NEA asked him to round everyone up
"I have been asked by folks in the White House and folks in the NEA about a month ago in a conversation that was had. We had the idea that I would help bring together the independent artists community around the country.

2. The NEA briefly appeared on radar screens in the mid-90s due to objections from conservatives over its funding of controversial (sexually explicit and often offensive) works by artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano. After losing a court case when it subsequently tried to refuse funding to four artists over content concerns, the NEA at Congress direction subsequently stopped directly funding individual artists, in favor of supporting group projects and collaboratives, arts education and leadership initiatives.
a. As of this month, the NEA is now using your tax dollars to organize and promote art projects specifically designed to advocate for President Obamas political initiatives, including health care reform and climate action. NEA using your tax dollars to fund left-wing propaganda « Sanity Injection
