Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Using Art for Propaganda

Hit the link for an excellent article on how the Obama admnistration is using the National Endowment for the Arts to "leverage" artists in attempts to further it efforts to completely remake America into a socialist regime.

This government is attempting to build a propaganda machine that hasn't been seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the last century. The Chinese use art as a tool of their information ministry. So do the Cubans, as did NAZI Germany. So who is to be the new Joseph Goebbels?
