Painting in California Rep. Lou Correa’s office sparks complaints.
A student painting that depicts the Statue of Liberty wearing a Muslim hijab, displayed in congressman Lou Correa’s Santa Ana office, is being attacked as an unpatriotic violation of the separation of church and state by members of We the People Rising, a Claremont-based activist group that advocates stricter enforcement of immigration laws.
The group, which includes several Orange County participants, has asked without success that Correa remove the painting, which hangs with other finalists from the Democratic congressman’s annual student art competition.
Because of the complaint, Correa said he asked the House Office of Legislative Counsel for advice and was told there was no legal issue. That has not appeased the activists, who are tentatively planning a Sept. 11 protest at Correa’s district office.
“It’s a bad example for our congressman,” said Orange resident Mike McGertrick, an activist with We the People Rising. “He shouldn’t have anything religious in his office. … I would like to see our Congress people be right-down-the-line patriotic.”

Islam is not a religion, it’s a violent dominating life style. Perpetuated by low I.Q. humans.
Crazy bitch is holding that torch like she’s about to set the mosque on fire.
Orange County use to be 100% Republican/Conservative. I don’t get it. So did Silicon Valley. Very sad.
That isn’t the torch of liberty. It’s a Molotov cocktail n
What is it with the Dems and their crappy art? Right up with their DC pigs as cops painting they wouldn’t take down.
He’ll Never Take it Down, if He Knows Conservatives Hate It !
Somewhere in California there’s a Militia with a rope just his size. I’m not hardly kidding.
Rope? Yer being nice, I was thinking tar and feathers myself.
A can of spray paint will fix that picture quickly.
I had a Philosophy professor once who stated, “Art is the instantiation of the universal.”
That thing is Islamic-oriented and must not be considered “art” because moslems do not believe in creativity, only rape, murder, subjugation (the silly hijab) and breeding to conquer every nation in the world!
As our President vehemently stated:
“DRIVE THEM FROM THE EARTH!”
Do nothing but bitch about white privalage just like every other day
Uuugh ^^^^ that’s for “Obama day”
