Statue of Liberty
Feb 18, 2015 12:00AM PST

I heard she's an empty headed woman. Wink

Others refer to her as Ishtar, the consort of Baal, leader of the Reptile Elite, the children of Satan.

Texas Gov Rick Perry will remove her if elected president. He considers her an Idol.

Huckabee believes it should be destroyed. It does seem a waste of a lot of copper that could be put to better use elsewhere.

"As proof, one need merely look at the New York state license plate. The
Statue is very prominently displayed on this license plate, as befits a
state renowned for Godlessness, savagery, Marxism, Atheism, and sexual
deviancy..... Yes, there's no room
for any depiction of the True Religion on the New York license plate,
but there is room for a Bolshevist French harlot clad in nothing but a
bedsheet, brandishing a firebrand and a copy of some book that may well
be either the "Communist Manifesto" or "Origin of the Species," calling
all evildoers to come to America and worship her as their false god."


Part of Acceptance Statement by President Cleveland:

"We will not forget that liberty here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected".

Some history on Cleveland, a Democrat.

Aided by sermons from an opportunistic preacher named George H. Ball,
they charged that Cleveland had fathered an illegitimate child while he
was a lawyer in Buffalo, and chanted "Ma, Ma, where's my Pa?".
When confronted with the scandal, Cleveland's immediately instructed
his supporters to "Above all, tell the truth." Cleveland admitted to
paying child support in 1874 to Maria Crofts Halpin, the woman who
claimed he fathered her child, named Oscar Folsom Cleveland. Halpin was
involved with several men at the time, including Cleveland's friend and
law partner, Oscar Folsom, for whom the child was named. Cleveland did
not know which man was the father; he assumed responsibility because he
was the only bachelor among them.[46] Shortly before the 1884 election,
The Republican media published an affidavit from Halpin in which she
stated that until she met Cleveland her "life was pure and spotless",
and "there is not, and never was, a doubt as to the paternity of our
child, and the attempt of Grover Cleveland, or his friends, to couple
the name of Oscar Folsom, or any one else, with that boy, for that
purpose is simply infamous and false.".....While the popular vote total was close, with Cleveland winning by just
one-quarter of a percent, the electoral votes gave Cleveland a majority
of 219-182
Following the electoral victory, the "Ma, Ma ..." attack phrase gained a
classic riposte: "Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!"


Hmm, maybe Lady Liberty was modeled on Ms. Halpin????


About that poem.



Furthermore, scholars say that the statue was
originally intended to be an anti-monarchy, antislavery symbol.
Immigrants, and the Lazarus poem, were not popularly connected with the
statue until the 20th century.


So, maybe the monument should be restored or it's original condition by REMOVING that poem?


" In 1880, the American Catholic Quarterly
printed a denunciation of the goddess and her torch, contending they
received light ''not from Christ and Christianity, but from heathenism
and her gods.''

This objection surfaced because ''ultimately the
statue can be traced to Roman antiquity, there is no question about
it,'' Dr. Boime said. Mr. Moreno's book presents evidence that an
inspiration for the statue was the Roman goddess Libertas, the
personification of liberty and personal freedom ordained by the Roman
state. "


That seems a bit odd since they have idols of Mary.

RE: And yes, there are more whites on welfare than blacks
Feb 13, 2015 12:40PM PST

And yes, there are more whites on welfare than blacks because there are more of them,

But THEY shall not be referred to as "Welfare Queens" Because THEY are white?

You can look it up elsewhere but Ronald Reagan did not
Feb 14, 2015 8:17PM PST

make up the term "Welfare queen"]

From the article...

"The term was coined in 1974, either by George Bliss of the Chicago Tribune in his articles about Linda Taylor, or by Jet Magazine.[4] Neither publication credits the other in their "Welfare Queen" stories of that year.

Reagan did use one person's welfare fraud history as a reason for looking deeper into such fraud as an expense we don't need. Personally, I can't find a problem with that idea but falsely attributing something to a person who used it later is probably not a good idea. This is one way we corrupt the truth.

Which brings us right back to the "radical Brownies' repeating what they have been told....even though the facts are exactly the opposite.

They're such young kids
Feb 15, 2015 1:42AM PST

It makes me sad to hear when hatred is spread along with genetic code. We do no service when we pollute the next generation this way. A good dose of a global amnesia attack sounds good at times.

Get 'em while young
Feb 12, 2015 10:31PM PST

This is how hatred and prejudice is spread. We start with indoctrinating children. While they're too young to have and relate to their own experiences, we feed them poison.
