"New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride
from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"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!"
A wonderful holiday season to all.
Thanks, Alicia. Have a great Thanksgiving, young lady! :thumbup:

I wish you and your better half a wonderful Thanksgiving too. One reminder - drink a large glass of water
before you start your meal. I've heard about your appetite. :wink:

Yeah, well, we're already plum full up with your poor and huddled masses.
We can't afford your wretched refuse.
So send your homeless tempest tossed somewhere else, like Siberia.
And by the way, the lamp and the golden door was stolen by some spooks from Chicago.
So go fish you sniveling sea hag.

I couldn't help it Loki.
Some people just bring out the unadulterated jerk in me.

Too bad there exists such a disgusting crew on this forum. So as not to insult slugs, you are the slime they leave. Enjoy your turkies (intentional).
You call yourself Americans? How dare you insult the name of this nation! You are filth.

Same to you and thanks for the reminder. Listening to conservatives all the time I forget we weren't always a nation of hate for our fellow man. Those were the good ole days weren't they!

Uh, 'sscuse me ma'am,
But the insult was directed at you, not "the name of this nation".

Amodi. Just to prove how stupid you are - you claim not to change my posts yet you inserted a reply post that has no original. I do believe your IQ is in the low double digits.
And Wolf C. Could you please point out the post you claim to have read? Another low-level double digit IQ.
It'll take more than just two of you. Why don't you gather some of the other idiots and add all your IQs together. You can bet that the sum will still be in the double digits.

Not everyone can be the profound genius that you are ma'am.
Why you're so smart that even Einstein couldn't hold a candle to your immense intelligence.
If you could just do something about your personal hygeine, maybe we could tolerate you a bit easier.
Your stench has permeated the electromagnetic field so thoroughly that every time you post a comment the odor travels upon the frequencies at every level of the spectrum.
Could you please soak yourself in a vat of sheep dip prior to your next submission..............................PUNK!!!!

When American representatives are uniting to turn away the "wretched refuse," "homeless," and "tempest-tossed" out of pure fear, as in the Patriot Act, this perhaps is the final nail in the coffin of liberty. Men and women of liberty, freedom is hard, scary, and tough to keep. Our Congress is deserting it, for the easier softer way of Super Pacs and the Koch Brothers.
