Rethinking The Statue of Liberty

Give me your tired,
your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse
of your teeming shore.

No, this was not intended as an invitation exclusively for Mexico.

According to Wikipedia, “The poem The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus, the winner of a contest underwritten by the New York World, was engraved on a bronze plaque in 1903, 20 years after it was written. The plaque is located on a wall of the museum, which is in the base of the statue. (It has never been engraved on the monument itself).”

This notion may’ve sounded like a good idea at the time. But, then again, so did slavery 200 years earlier.

Most people probably didn’t know that this motto was never engraved on the Statue. Perhaps there’s good reason.

Afterall, it’s easier to take down a plaque. If only temporarily.

Oh yeah, give me “The wretched refuse”. That’s what I want.

The Statue of Liberty is a trojan horse given to us by those jerks in France.

Emma Lazurus is a jew. Benjamin Franklin wanted to expell these people from this country. They didn’t listen. He said we would curse them in their graves. I do.

BOTH of Californiaâ€™s Senators are JEWESSes.

Barbara Boxer, and Diane Feinstein.

Both HATE white people, campaigns were funded by jews, and they claim to be only 2% of the population yet represent 100% of California in the Senate.

Both Wisconsin Senators are jews. Wisconsin.

How does this happen, since you are so enlightened, and you feel you are better than me because I think semitically incorrect thoughts.

How did the jews on the Jew-led (Arlen Specter) Judiciary committee vote? (Open jews made up 23 percent of the comittee, all voted to ethnically cleanse white America)

WAKE THE FUCK UP. THESE JEWS ARE DESTROYING WHITE CIVILIZATION AS THEY HAVE SUCEEDED IN TRYING TO DO SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.

BUT YOUâ€™D RATHER HATE ME. TURN OFF THE JEWTUBE AND SAVE YOUR RACE.

Eric,

Your comments remain undeleted only because we support the freedom of speech.

However, you made your point already. We get it. You blame Jews for everything. Understood.

But repeating the rhetoric on future posts will become tedious to our readers. Perhaps you can jazz it up a little. Surely you can find more people to hate and blame. Be a little more creative than just any run-of-the-mill hate-monger. Be original.

And finally, stop using Hal Turner’s radio website address for your signature. He has no association or affiliation with you or your views.
