west hollywood library liberal bias is NOT FAIR to local conservatives: one example





so I was walking thru one of the book aisles at the WeHo library (west hollywood) and it happened to be the Bible section (amazingly they actually have Bibles here), but what STOOD OUT because they put it ON DISPLAY next to the Bibles was this book entitled "Non-Believer Nation", which on the cover under the title blames the "religious right' for  everything (sorry, it's sidewards here, couldn't rotate it...maybe that's better anyways). But aside from arguing politics and religion, my GRIPE is that this is a public library funded by taxpayers of ALL POLITICAL PERSUASIONS and religious beliefs but almost ALL of the art, decorations, exhibits, etc favor the left, and are anti-conservative, anti-republican, anti-Christian, etc. You might say "Duh, this is west hollywood" . SO WHAT? They still have a responsibility to represent ALL peoples, not just the gay community. Libraries in so-called "conservative communities" have been attacked by liberals for so-called "conservative bias" and these libraries have been forced to do things for the liberals, so the libraries in the leftist communities need to appropriately represent the conservatives likewise !
