Ha! Well that’s certainly a way to avoid arguing the point I made in reference to your post! Just accuse me of “nonsense” and move right along… no rebuttal necessary.
You said conservatives and art didn’t mix. To back this up you used an old dictionary definition of “conservative” as meaning “somebody trying to preserve the status quo”. I pointed out that in today’s modern political arena, conservatives are the ones most often trying to OVERTURN the status quo, not preserve it(Fair Tax/Flat Tax, privatizing social security, vouchers in public schools to increase competition, etc.) Liberals are the ones trying to preserve the status quo in these and many other areas. There are exceptions, of course(gay marriage), but overall, it’s the conservatives who want big changes on many of the most important political issues of the day, not liberals.
So your idea about conservatives and art not mixing because conservatives want to “preserve the status quo” just doesn’t match the facts on the ground. I’ve given you specific examples as to why your argument doesn’t hold up. Argue that if you’d like, but pretending your original point is unassailable and my rebuttal doesn’t require any response is pretty unconvincing.
