Cousin Dave,

Your observations about the politicization of art in a Stalinist vein are spot on. I was just anticipating how they would use one of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals against us: find out where they violate their own principles and then nail them on it. So, we conservatives believe in freedom of expression and speech, and if we seemingly violate this principle of ours they’ll call us a bunch of hypocrites. Just sayin’…

I have no problem if the core people in publishing and art are conservatives, and set quality standards for the work with no political litmus tests. Screen out the crap and put forth quality work.
