No, it's only art if you pee on it.

I have a guess but I think as a display it is very sloppy.

Don't museums have curators that have to approve displays?

The core of conservative ideology is exclusion. American consevatives have an extremely narrow definition of American identity. President Obama has never fit into that narrow definition for a few reasons, and conservatives just invented and ran with this idea that President Obama isn't an American.

conservatives define millions and millions of their fellow citizens as not being real Americans just as they do to President Obama.

This state elected Brownback. If they set up concentration camps and made liberals wear stars it wouldn't surprise.

I think this was as much of a "museum" as a guy with a trailer by the side of the road charging $5 to see the amazing animal collection is a "zoo".

One crackpot or maybe a guy with a sense of humor....whichever the case is....yawn.
