Replacement Declaration for the Poem at the Statue of Liberty
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/04/17 | Greg Penglis

Posted on 08/04/2017 6:36:15 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

The Restored Republic Let the light of the Statue of Liberty always live in your heart, and never be taken from you

“Never in the course of human endeavor, has one nation risen up to declare that every citizen is their own sovereign, where the powers of government, are subservient to the rights of the individual.

Liberty is the light to freedom in a world of darkness and oppression.

Liberty has a home, it’s called the United States of America.

Chisel the damn thing off. I’ve always hated that stupid poem. You want to read patriotic ‘poetry’ that matters? Read our founding documents and then show me where we’re compelled by our founders to let third world immigrants over run our country.

“Chisel the damn thing off.”

The ignorance about that poem will, evidently, never end. The poem is not part of the statue, it is merely a plaque placed on it, unofficially, about twenty years after it was presented to the United States by France. Statue has nothing to do with immigration. The plaque can be removed, chiseling is not necessary.

I would have the last sentence read “This is Liberty’s home.”

With that, I would chisel Lazarus’ execrable socialist abomination from Liberty’s pedestal and replace it with this post haste.

Sounds like a NRA tagline.

Replace E. Lazarus with the Apostle Paul;
2nd Thessalonians 3:10 “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”

We do not legislate based on poems inscribed on statues.

Inscribe this:
America: If you intend to turn America into an *slamic hell hole, get the f*ck out. If you intend to take our money and give nothing in return, get the f*ck out. If you want to change America into a fascist totalitarian oppressive marxist hell hole, get the f*ck out.

I would be happy to chisel it.

Heh heh, I like Lou Reed’s version better:

Your poor huddled masses, let’s club ‘em to death
and get it over with and just dump ‘em on the boulevard

Its funny.

People think the poem on the Statue is “law.” Its a frickin’ poem. And most people know one stanza or one line from it.

Americans today are pretty much functional morons.
