The Destruction of Our Aesthetic Environment

The Left over the last few decades has been very successful in destroying our aesthetic environment. What Rhett Buttler said parting ways with Scarlett is how I feel today:

"I want to see if somewhere there isn't something left in life of charm and grace."

Women with tattoos and nose rings, graffiti on walls as an excuse for free expression, and the crassness and shameless statements from celebrities and politicians has given new meaning to Karl Marx's wish that we have a 'classless' society.

We do. Just not the one he envisioned.

Dennis Prager on his website sums up why the Left loathes civilization - their lack of standards.

They don't like to be shamed either. But it must be done. 
And a women wearing enough tattoos looking like a Longshoremen does not earn mine. Nether foul mouthed celebrities.
Bible-based religions affirm a morally judging God. For the left, that is anathema. For the left, the only judging allowed is leftists’ judging of others. No one judges the left — neither man nor God.
Let the knives fly.

All of the above merely hints at the depths of the depravity of the world of western art.

For a tame example consider the Vietnam War Memorial in DC. The feature piece is a "sculpture" by Mia Lin which is, in reality, a pitiless tombstone etched with names of the dead. A calculated insult designed to emphasize the pointlessness of their sacrifice.

On the same grounds is the statue "Three Fighting Men" by Fredrick Hart depicting Americans performing their soldierly duty. An actual sculpture carved by hand, it conveys a dignity that the "wall" denies.

Naturally the left celebrates the wall and ignores the genuine work of art beside it.

You could make a similar comparison with the 9/11 memorial 'our guys' designed and insulted America and the victims of 9/11 with. The museum is buried several stories beneath the new building and the 'reflecting pool' looks like a mirror image of mecca with the center box collecting all the tears pouring down through the center of the earth to satan himself. Not to mention the disgusting display of dhimmitude with the Shanksville memorial which is a giant mihrab replete with symbolism honoring Islam and the terrorists who took down that flight on 9/11.
Compare and contrast with the Tear Drop monument donated by Russia as a memorial for the victims of 9/11 - located in a near hidden corner of the port of Bayonne. I accidentally happened to see this very touching monument when the cruise I boarded was passing this monument upon our ships departure from port.

The Shanksville memorial is an abomination and should be blown up. It honors the murderers.

"The Shanksville memorial is an abomination and should be blown up. It honors the murderers."

Anon, I agree 100%. But why was this not a national scandal. I remember the father of one of the victims raising hell about it, and some minor modifications were made. But this abomination should have been in the first page of all MSM newspapers. Why was it not? Who are the people behind this treasonous actions: The NY memorial, museum, remains, etc.? The Shanksville memorial? How is it possible we were so indifferent or unaware? We cannot blame Obama, this was under Bush ...

I agree too, for what it's worth.
