On the Statue of Liberty
Now that we have established a possible basis for it in the central civic myth, we will discuss this missionary impulse and its origins in further depth. It is based, again, not only on the idea that anyone can be an American—for this idea can be found among common Usonians, albeit far from universally—but also that it is the telos of America to host members of every people in the world. Perhaps the earliest well-known articulation of this idea is in “The New Colossus”, the poem by Emma Lazarus which was engraved in the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in 1903. It ends thus:
“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-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”[10]
Emma Lazarus, it is to be noted, was not an immigrant. She was descended from a line of Sephardic Jews, originally from Portugal, who had been living in New York since the colonial period.

So, basically, America is being brought down by a French Commie statue emplaced by the Jewish-Bolshevik menace, and after the nuclear war which destroys America, the only thing left standing will be this 310 ft copper Golem, glaring down upon your bleached bones with cackling eyes?
Hunh, so that's what that thing is for, I've always wondered.

Apparently there's no need, as you're being brought down from within, by this ingenious French Bolshie JewBot.TheReal_ND wrote:Try invading us again dog dick lickerSmitty-48 wrote:So, basically, America is being brought down by a French Commie statue emplaced by the Jewish-Bolshevik menace, and after the nuclear war which destroys America, the only thing left standing will be this 310 ft copper Golem, glaring down upon your bleached bones with cackling eyes?

You talk a lot of shit for a country that elected a substitute drama teacher who's plan is to replace the white population of Canada within the decade.
