I’ve written a number of pieces on this grotesque misuse by the White House of taxpayer dollars through the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA), as have many conservative bloggers. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government site was the first to expose this scandal, which has gotten next to no coverage (of course) by the fringe media. Likewise, little to no coverage has been given to the unfolding ACORN corruption exposés and charges being filed in many states.

In this interview below with Glenn Beck (follows brief story on gun laws), artist/writer Patrick Courrielche explains the corruption and cover-up that is going on with the White House and the NEA.

I’ve excerpted this piece by Ben Shapiro before, but in case you missed it the first time, or because of the new ACORN scandals, you’re now having a better understanding of the vast, evil reach ACORN and the “little ACORN” offshoot organizations have in our nation, here goes:

From Ben Shapiro, Big Government, Demand Congressional Investigation: NEA Conference Broke Laws:

…The ACORN mentality – pinpointing and mobilizing particular groups in support of a radical-left agenda – is no longer restricted to government-funded private non-profits like ACORN. The ACORN mentality now dominates the government itself. Taxpayer dollars are being used by elected officials to encourage the deification of President Obama and his agenda. And one of the chief organs of the government propaganda machine is the National Endowment for the Arts.

Let’s start from the beginning.

On August 25, artist Patrick Courrielche told the story of a conference call he attended on August 10. That conference call was hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve. The goal of the conference call: “to help lay a new foundation for growth, focusing on core areas of the recovery agenda – health care, energy and environment, safety and security, education, community renewal.” The call would push “a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, taste-makers, leaders or just plain cool people to join together and work together to promote a more civically engaged America and celebrate how the arts can be used for a positive change!”…

The American people should be outraged by this. Call your congressman today to decry this shameful lawlessness.
