Sarah Palin: Statue of Liberty was “Warning” Against “Socialism” |
|
There are some great replies,too. “This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies,” Palin said to cheers from the crowd http://firedoglake.com/2010/09/13/sarah-palin-statue-of-liberty-was-warning-against-socialism/

1. It was a gift from France. |
|
Perhaps they should have sent the guillotine instead.

7. Well, this was Third Republic France |
|
Which had just obliterated the Paris Commune and put its leaders to death.
This wasn't exactly a government sympathetic to socialism.

11. We know it but she always manages to raise the "I'm a total ignorant dumb ass" quotient to |
|
a new level. It's quite impressive. It's hard to know how she'll top it but I know she will AND I will, once again, be surprised and amazed by it even though I know I shouldn't be.

3. Sarah, for 500 points and the win, what country gave us the Statue of Liberty? |
|
(tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock) "Uh, is it Russia? 'Cause I can see that from my house, y'know".
Bzzzzzzzzzzt! "I'm so sorry, Sarah. The correct answer is France, where the Socialist Party is the official opposition, and socialist features like a 35-hour work week and 60-year retirement age are commonplace. But thanks for playing, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this complimentary copy of our home game."

17. she's gotta be delusional, and the millions in cash help. Plus the fawning of the few million |
|
"teahadists" who think she's a saint. It's amazing how some people think folks like Beck and Palin are stand-up Americans! Just scary... Thankfully, I still believe there's more of "us", the problem, as always, is getting our side to believe our votes matter. We know they do, but I can understand how a good portion of "us" feels hopeless, but there truly is hope, always.

12. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... |
|
Right. That's why Emma Lazarus' poem was chosen for the pedestal.
To quote Keith O: That woman is an idiot.
Hekate
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!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883

13. WHy does Sarah Palin hate America? |
|
The fact: The statue was a gift to America from the French in honor of the Centennial of American independence. It is one of the most universal symbols of political freedom and democracy.
Our nation is now officially dumb and dumber dumbed down. :eyes:
