December 7, 201114 yr This guy calls himself an artist? My 4-year old could construct a better looking display than this piece of crap. I think I'll stack up three bags of garbage in my yard and call it art. You'd probably make good money doing it, too, but only if you soaked it in urine.
December 7, 201114 yr So anyone passing something off as art can display it on the courthouse grounds?
December 7, 201114 yr Ugh! Protected by the Constitution but utterly tasteless. The price we pay for our Freedom.
December 8, 201114 yr I wonder if the so called leaders would allow a crucifixon of Jesus to be on the lawn, I say not. Sadly, I agree... It's interesting this puzzling assembly has defenders as a bold artistic statement, but strip away the skeleton in the Santa suit, and leave only the cross on the courthouse lawn and those same defenders would scream foul. What a goofed up culture we live in...
December 8, 201114 yr What a goofed up culture we live in... What's even more sad is, it's not even surprising.
December 8, 201114 yr What's even more sad is, it's not even surprising. Not here and now... the futher we drift from God and his Truth, the more ridiculous we become as a society. We are accustomed to bold exhibits and statements of foolishness. I am however, old enough to recall 40 - 50 years ago when such absurdity would have been laughed at or scorned for what it is. We are slowly swirling around the drain as a nation as a result of turning our backs on God and the core values that built this nation. We need to wake up... if it's not already too late.

I'm not one that pushes religion on anyone and I strongly believe in God but I completely agree. I watched a video clip of Richard Dawkins on O'Reilly Factor and I think almost 80% of Europe doesn't believe in God. I thought that number was staggering. I'm curious as to what that number is in America.
December 8, 201114 yr This doesn't have to do with religion. This has to do with the Constitution. As long as we enjoy the freedoms we do, there will be "costs" associated, i.e. the freedom to NOT believe, the freedom to say or express the offensive.

I agree, BUT when the leaders allow the Constitution to be used for idiotic stuff like a crucified santa during Christmas, then I have to say it is useless. Like another poster said, take Santa off of it and see how many cry foul. I mean it isnt hurting me, but for little kids to see this and it be allowed for kids to see it as they pass by in cars is absurd and those who allowed it are stupid.

December 8, 201114 yr Anyone? No. I would think not. Art is a representation (a symbolic significance) of anything. The courthouse isn't a proper place for that, JMO.

December 8, 201114 yr Can the county simply say we do not allow art displays on our grounds? I can't think of a reason why not. One would think it would prevent little, but significant issues, such as this.
