Psalms 57:7
The late, great, "Happy Warrior", Andrew Breitbart, always said "Politics is downstream from culture" and the painfully obvious proof of that is the mess our politics have become thanks in large part to the iron grip the far-left Marxists & Communists have had in our music, art, sports, and entertainment industries. We need to do a better job of supporting culture warriors who share our ideals and love America.
I will be using this page and the ART page to feature some of my favorite right-leaning culture warriors whose craft I enjoy or have recently discovered. Many of them are former fellow "BigDawgers" and were fan favorites!
I hope you'll check them out!
