The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

4. And more likely than not, Pence, they will be a credit to Connecticut

and the nation at large. It's what our ancestors have done for generations. Even yours.

7. Some of his ancestors were Irish

We all know how the Irish were treated and what their descendants have accomplished.

He's probably not capable of it, but he should be ashamed.

5. He could not take up for Donnie now bad judgement bites back.

9. Proud nutmegger, here.

But we need a world leader who can try to solve these problems.

10. They won't be Americans like Pence

they will be better Americans

[Martin Eden]

11. Doesn't Pence profess to be a Christian?

Shunning this family in need is not what Jesus would do.
