The Associated Press
 
TOPEKA, Kan. - Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has vetoed state funding for the arts from the next state budget.
 
<snip>
Brownback took the action as he signed most of the $13.8 billion budget approved by legislators for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
 
Brownback also used his power to veto individual budget items to eliminate the commission's entire staff.

We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

The "Arts" is code language for urban enclaves of homosexuals, lesbians, and commie Leftists. Taxpayer funding of these enclaves has been sacrosanct for too long. It is right and good that we question who our money goes to support, and equally right and good that we should ensure that our money does no go to enemies of this country under the auspices of funding the "Arts" as if the term offers some immunity from scrutiny.

All arts funding is, is welfare for people who don't want to work, and instead want to engage in their hobby 24/7.

And the dumbass' of Minnesota instituted a half percent sales tax to do just that.

What are the odds that little Markie Dayton will have an mental breakdown during his term?  We should start a pool!  This butthead is several fries short of a Happy Meal and his leading by not leading style is going to blow up in his face.  Seriously, if not for Soros & Ritchie this asshat would be enjoying assisted living somewhere...

When you see some of the sh*t that passes for art and is funded by these state comissions then it's easy to applaud the action of the governor .

I'm no philistine, I believe culture is important -- I just don't believe in coercing other people to pay for it. And therein lies the rub, because most of the stuff that "depends" on public funding is subversive crap that doesn't offer enough of an intrinsic value to attract its own funding.

Whoever said something along the lines of "government is the fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else" sure nailed it. Who was that, Bastiat?
