Personally, I love it!
Those damn conservatives have absolutely no artistic appreciation. This is a masterpiece. The artist is Stephen Pearcy, a lawyer from California who painted it in 20 minutes on the 4th of July, 2003. Jeeze, when I feel like that, I just come here and rant.
” “I put it out on the front lawn, after seeing American flags everywhere in this fanatical display of patriotism,” Pearcy said. “Things that made me feel like the country was going down the toilet. It’s a pretty straightforward message.”
Stephen’s painting is currently on display in the California State Department of Justice’s cafeteria as part of an art show sponsored by the California Lawyers for the Arts. All this just isn’t sitting well with some California conservatives. In fact, it’s really getting their shorts in a knot. An online petition has 50 signatures. Ooooooo, that many? Really pisses them off when they can’t just censure anything they please.
I’m happy to report that the officials in charge have absolutely no inclination to remove Mr Pearcy’s beautiful painting. I hope Stephen has a lot of paints, he sure has a lot of inspiration.
