Are we seeing the revitalization of conservative civilization, all over the world has been a massive backlash against globalization, its leftist leadership, and its anti-cultural liberal values.

And it's just the beginning.

I'm Dr. Steve Turley. I believe the liberal globalist world is at its brink and a new conservative age is rising.

Join me every day as we examine these worldwide trends, discover answers to today's toughest challenges, and together learn to live in the present in light of even better things to come.

This is Turley Talks.

What the heck is that?

This past weekend, the city of Boston unveiled its tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., and his wife, Coretta Scott King, with a massive $10 million bronze statue entitled The Embrace.

Now, the concept you should know was innocent enough. Indeed, endearing, its aim was to depict the moment MLK and his wife embraced after he found out that he won the Nobel Peace Prize.

And when you scale the photograph of the embrace to overlap the sculpture you can actually see it.

But what the artist obviously didn't see is how absent that larger image the sculpture comes across is very, very odd.

Many have called it, frankly, phallic. From some angles, it appears that the hands are holding a colon or a giant turd as thousands of Twitter users have complained.

So whatever the concept was that the artist was after, it failed from a technical as well as conceptual vantage point.

But more than that, the statue comes across as simply ugly. Some have even called it utterly grotesque.

The Babylon B took a step further. They set up a satirical crowdfunding site to help finish the job to help fund the completion of the statue.

In other words, where's the head? Where's the body? This can't be it.

Many on Twitter complained that what they really needed to do was actually just cover the monument back up. It was better the way that way.

Now some are trying, of course, of course, to blame all this criticism and mockery on racism.

But as it turns out, even members of King's family avoid their outrage over the epic artistic fail.

Greta Scott King's cousin, Seneca Scott, published a piece absolutely obliterating the statue entitled, like, Could You Not?

A masturbatory homage to my family, saying that the statue looks more like hands holding private parts than it does a special moment shared by two people.

What's going on here? Well, what's imperative for us to understand is that art simply ain't what it used to be.

Historically, beauty was considered inextricably linked to the formation, the cultivation of our loves, so that we would learn to love rightly.
