Lame!
Oh, the horror. The Patriot blog has mentioned this dude before. Frankly, the objections from conservatives are kind of lame. Fight lame with lame, as the saying goes, apparently.
I don't really care about the opinion expressed. What I dislike about Stephen Pearcy is that he enjoys making people angry. That's a disgusting trait in a human being. It's also somewhat ironic, considering his opinions.
Further, look at this thing. He did it in 20 minutes. It looks like something out of a third-grade art project. Forget the opinion, this is a piece of crap.
An online petition being advertised by the online Web log Conservative Schooler calls the painting "anti-American" and says that it is within Lockyer's rights to remove it. The petition had more than 50 signatures last week.
Sure, crappy art is anti-American. Like I said, lame responses. I will note, however, that that the petition has 2336 "signatures" as I'm writing this. And it had 300 or so when I first looked at it last Wednesday. Yes, last Wednesday, which was apparently too late to be looked at by press time for the paper 5 days later.
"I'm glad there is discussion about it, because I know a lot of people feel the way I feel," Pearcy said. "This is what we should do when something is happening that other people don't seem to be paying attention to. It's like, why do you put a bumper sticker on your car?"
Because you're lame? If you want to push that displaying your 'art' is as important as putting a bumper sticker on your car, you're free to do so, but that doesn't make a great case for it.
