Vicky Gene Robinson (born May 29, 1947, in Fayette County, Kentucky) is an American retired bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Robinson was elected bishop coadjutor in 2003 and succeeded as diocesan bishop in March 2004. Before becoming bishop, he served as Canon to the Ordinary to the VIII Bishop of New Hampshire.

Robinson is widely known for being the first priest in an openly bisexual relationship to be consecrated a bishop in a major Christian denomination believing in the historic episcopate.

And he and his husband were recently divorced, IIRC.

Bishop Robinson,

How many can stay at your house?

[UCANSEE2]

If it ends up looking like this.

[jocon307]

You left out how he abandoned his real, female, wife and children. He’s just a despicable person.

But, I digress.

Keep the statue, but pull off that dreadful poem and throw it in the harbor.

[smokingfrog]

The US legally allows about a million foreigners into the country every year. How much is enough? Lots of people want to come here, so why not be selective about who is chosen?

[Argus]

That poem doesn’t have the force of law.

How many times must it be pointed out that the immigrants who came to our country at Ellis Island came here LEGALLY. They came and were processed through our borders according to the immigration laws of that time. That’s all we are asking for. Enforce the law and secure our borders!!! How hard is that to get?

[faithhopecharity]

wouldn’t it be nice if such persons as this fellow could at least be prevcented from claiming to be “Christian?”

(Truth in Advertising laws?)

[Berlin_Freeper]

Send it to Mexico.

[Rome2000]

This demented faggot is going to burn especially bright in hell.

[hosepipe]

Obama is Lady Libertys PimP... Uncle Sam is an addict..

[Nifster]

Typical leftist commie blather

[MichaelCorleone]

Maybe we should send YOU back to France, or where ever your ancestors came from.

[50sDad]

Those immigrants WANTED TO BECOME AMERICANS, not come here with their own laws and CHANGE US. End of Argument, you ponse.

[Smokin' Joe]

Your huddled masses, yearning to breath free,

Duh.... Hay! George! That danged 'e' fell off again...

[webcrosby]

This Bishop is an idiot.

It’s still 1922 pre-welfare state in his head.

Fool.

Gene Robinson, first openly gay Episcopal bishop, to divorce partner of 25 years

The last thing we should do is follow French advice about immigration policy ( since France is even further along the road to perdition than is USA in losing their country to the islamonazi scum of the earth)

Robinson retired in 2013 as the Bishop of New Hampshire, and is now a fellow at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C.

Its President and chief executive officer is Neera Tanden, who worked for the Obama and Clinton administrations and for Hillary Clinton’s campaigns. Its first President and chief executive officer was John Podesta, who served as chief of staff to then U.S. President Bill Clinton. Podesta remains with the organization as chairman of the board.

The Center for American Progress is classified as a 501(c)(3) .

CAP officials, including Podesta, were deeply involved in the transition to President Obama’s administration in 2008-09. TIME characterized the involvement: “President-elect Obama has effectively contracted out the management of his own government’s formation to [John] Podesta.” POLITICO characterized the interrelationship between the transition team and CAP as “historically unique.”

In a feature article on the expansion of ThinkProgress, POLITICO illustrated how the site differs from a mainstream news organization. POLITICO reported:

ThinkProgress [… is] hardly just another media organization. […] Further, CAP Action Fund openly runs political advocacy campaigns, and plays a central role in the Democratic Party’s infrastructure, and the new reporting staff down the hall isn’t exactly walled off from that message machine, nor does it necessarily keep its distance from liberal groups organizing advocacy campaigns targeting conservatives.

CAP receives money from multibillionaire hedge fund manager George Soros through two of his nonprofit groups, the Foundation to Support Open Society and the Open Society Institute. From 2005 through 2010, the two organizations gave CAP over $5.4 million. CAP receives money from other liberal-leaning foundations, including the Tides Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the foundation of Progressive Insurance chairman Peter B. Lewis.

Some of the organizations’ donations have been highly questionable. For example, Bermuda-based Atlantic Philanthropies donated $1.5 million to the CAP Action Fund, which operates ThinkProgress in 2010. (Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory.) United States-based foundations are forbidden by tax law from donating to organizations incorporated under Section 501(c)(4)—such as CAP Action—but as POLITICO reports, no such restrictions apply to foreign grant-makers.

Labor unions are also major sources of funding for the Center and especially ThinkProgress. According to unions’ required filings to the Department of Labor, since 2009 unions have donated over $2.2 million to the two organizations. Unsurprisingly, The Center and ThinkProgress have provided fawning coverage of unions and endorsed policies the unions support, like the “card check” legislation and the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). Additionally, the former Secretary-Treasurer of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Anna Burger, was named to the CAP Action board of directors in 2010. The SEIU has been one of the largest union supporters of CAP and its affiliates, with over $600,000 in total contributions.

Unions aren’t the only groups that benefit from contributions with mutually interested advocacy support. CAP and ThinkProgress have also faced scrutiny for their silence toward retail giant Wal-Mart, uncommon in progressive circles. Both the liberal newsmagazine The Nation and the conservative Weekly Standard have reported that Wal-Mart had donated to CAP, and CAP touted Wal-Mart as a partner in the healthcare reform debate. (The Washington Free Beacon estimated the donations at over $500,000 over a ten-year period, citing a Wal-Mart webpage that is no longer active.) Wal-Mart, which had been singled out for an employer mandate in some states, was a strong advocate of a national mandate on employers much smaller than the multibillion-dollar corporation.

ThinkProgress Staff Accused of Anti-Semitism

ThinkProgress was embroiled in a controversy in late 2011-early 2012 over language its bloggers used to characterize the United States’ relations with Israel. The controversy began with a report by Ben Smith, then of POLITICO, on dissension within the liberal ranks on the issue of what to do about a possible Israeli-Iranian conflict. Smith quoted a CAP analyst writing at a ThinkProgress sub-site, Middle East Progress, comparing Israel’s Gaza policy to “segregation in the American south.” Unnamed ThinkProgress officials were reported as saying that the Center’s goal was to open political space to President Obama’s left; CAP denied the reports.

Maybe we should just send the Statue of Liberty back where it came from.

If this statue and the accompany bit of bad poetry by Emma Lazarus are going to be continually used as distractions whenever the topic of illegal immigration is discussed, then by all means let's disassemble the thing, crate it up and send it off to any nation weak enough or foolish enough to lose control over it's own borders.
