it is inexplicable how 349 OTHER artists do not spit in the face of der fuhrer (or at least the proportion of those artists who are against how this nation is being run into the ground).
this is not a liberal/conservative issue. It is not a left/right issue, it is an issue of RESPECT for maintaining proper functions of government, checks and balances, rule of law, etc.
nobody ought to be ashamed to speak their mind openly TO THE FACE OF THE BEAST.
Frankly, I am shocked so many people, ESPECIALLY ARTISTS [who are supposed to be iconoclastic] become complacent little sycophants when in the thrall of power-- even if they are only handmaidens to the order, forgotten and thrown away like the Christmas tree in spring.
For shame. The media does not speak up. The corporations do not speak up. The people do not speak up. NOT EVEN THE GODDAMN ARTISTS SPEAK UP when given the chance to be HONEST.
This country's toast. you think unicorns and rainbows Obama is going to IGNORE the engines of control that have been placed in front of him? How about the NEXT Republican president?? We ALL live in fear now until this country is, unfortunately, either completely reworked from within or collapses (or is taken down by someone).
