This is sickening on so many levels. They are awash in our hard earned dollars, throwing them away on their leftist cultural sewer. There is no accountability. They've lost track of a trillion dollars and still they tell us government is the answer. The disconnect is incomprehensible.
Businessmen, the motor of the economy that funds this depravity and degenerate spending, have to pay for their lunch at the White House, but there is cash for bestiality. Is it any wonder that good Americans have been shouting out at the Democrats at town hall meetings?
You wanna give this morally government your health care? Give Obamacare to Christopher Dodd, who announced today he has prostate cancer (early stage). Give Obamacare to every registered Democrat. Let the Republicans keep what they have.
Your tax dollars are funding gay movie theaters, horror porn, and naked dancers in San Francisco, thanks to the much-heralded stimulus bill. The bill.
Talk about a stimulus package.
The National Endowment for the Arts may be spending some of the money it received from the Recovery and Reinvestment Act to fund nude simulated-sex dances, Saturday night "pervert" revues and the airing of pornographic horror films at art houses in San Francisco.

But some of the NEA's grants are spicing up more than the economy. A few of their more risque choices have some taxpayer advocates hot under the collar, including a $50,000 infusion for the Frameline film house, which recently screened Thundercrack, "the world's only underground kinky art porno horror film, complete with four men, three women and a gorilla."
"When you spend so much money in a short amount of time ... you're going to have nonsense like this, and that's why the stimulus should never have been done in the first place," said David Williams, vice president for policy at Citizens Against Government Waste.

Williams said such support for the arts is a luxury at a time when the president and Congress have been telling the public to make sacrifices to manage the recession.
"When taxpayers see this, they realize that's just a bunch of hot air," he said.

We can't afford to make perfect the enemy of the absolutely necessary," Obama
said at the time. But he presumably
didn't intend to have stimulus money help fund the weekly production of
"Perverts Put Out" at San Francisco's
CounterPULSE, whose "long-running pansexual performance series" invites guests
to "join your fellow pervs for some explicit, twisted fun." CounterPULSE received a $25,000 grant in the "Dance" category; a staffer
there said they were pleased to receive the grant, "which over the next year
will be used to preserve jobs at our small non-profit." Similarly, the director of Frameline, the gay and lesbian film house, said
that their $50,000 grant was not to support any program in particular. "The grant is not intended for a specific program; it's to be used for the
preservation of jobs at our media arts nonprofit An NEA spokeswoman defended the agency's choices and said its grants would
help "preserve jobs in danger of going away or that had gone away because of the
economic downturn." "Our review process is very comprehensive — we take great care with
applicants and with grantees," said NEA spokeswoman Victoria Hutter. "It's a
thorough, rigorous process that they all go through, and we're proud of the
projects that we've been able to support." [...] One project that has received past NEA funding and stands to get an additional
boost from a $25,000
stimulus grant is "The
Symmetry Project," a dance piece by
choreographer Jess Curtis. The show depicts "the sharing of a central axis, [as]
spine, mouth, genitals, face, and anus reveal their interconnectedness and
centrality in embodied experience," according to a description offered on
Curtis' Web site. In the flesh — and there's a lot of it — it amounts to two people
writhing naked on the floor, a government-funded tango in the
altogether. Curtis said that diminished support from regular funders like San Francisco
Grants for the Arts "would mean lots less work and less ability to organize ...
to get the work out in front of people." He said the NEA funding will help keep
his art afloat.
Not surprising, considering the culture the left subjects decent folks to. "Organizational culture" is an idea in the field of Organizational studies and management which describes the psychology, attitudes, experiences, beliefs and values (personal and cultural values) of an organization. It has been defined as "the specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organization and that control the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organization." Obama's family values. So it would only stand to reason.
