I don't care how you feel about illegal immigration. This has got to be one of the stupidest, most embarrassing petitions in a long time! :(
(Excerpt) Read more at petitiononline.com ...
I know! LOL! :)
I had to look it up. I'd forgotten.
Some of the comments are hilarious, and some are just good ole' American Strength, which I admire.
Bring us your tired, your poor, your emboldened masses infected with TB... The wretched refuse of all other shores... Send these, who work the system, no matter the cost to me... I empty my pockets and open my doors!"
Too stupid for words. Worse, at least one FReeper has supported it. Now that's scary.
could somebody post some of them.
For some reason they don't show for me.
David Caulkett needs to find something else to worry about.
He probably won't have a had time.
Some of those comments on that petition are hysterical. :)
Because Egypt turned down the idea.
Bartholdi had traveled to Egypt in 1856 to see the pyramids and the Sphinx. Their grand scale awed him and confirmed his own predilection for statues of colossal size. He returned to the land of the Nile in 1869, to attend the opening of the Suez Canal. Bartholdi hoped to convince the then ruler of Egypt, Ismail Pasha, to commission the Alsatian to create a monument in the form of a giant peasant woman holding aloft a torch, its theme to be "Progress" or "Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia." This statue would be twice the size of the Sphinx and stand beside the entrance to the canal, serving the double purpose of monument and lighthouse. The pasha rejected the idea, and Bartholdi returned to France to rekindle the American proposal.
So what does New York and Port Said, Egypt have in common? -- Originally, American's very own statue of Liberty was to be placed not in New York but at Port Said. The Statue of Liberty was really inspired by the huge statues at Abu Simbel. Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the statue designed the American Lady of Liberty as 'Egypt carrying the light of Asia'. However, the Khedive Ismail decided that the project was too expensive, so the 'Light of Asia' was sent to the US instead, where she became the Statue of Liberty.
So I saw. Looks like the majority of signatories are dumber than a box of rocks. Absolutely hillarious. What would be best would be for this petition to be delivered to congress as promised, but with the comments intact so that everyone with common sense will jump back and go, "whooaaaa"
