The Coming Culture War - or so unlike the brazen giant of Greek fame...

NOTE:  When this was first written in October, I was full snark mode.  Suddenly with the insane antics of people like the Governor of Maine, a scenario like this one doesn’t seem so out of the realm of possibility.  So, I present it once again for your amusement…and to scare you a bit.

Not unlike the brazen giant of Bedtime for Bonzo fame.

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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Just in time for Statue of Liberty Day, (T)he Republican Congressional Leadership Committee has issued a press release announcing their intentions to propose and enact sweeping changes to policy and governmental positions on immigration and naturalization upon their takeover of the Congress in the coming days.

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SOON-TO-BE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITY

Fellow Americans – And by ‘fellow’ we mean white, Christian, conservative Americans who vote Republican – It is time to change for a change in the policy of the United States of America,  We are facing an invasion of unprecedented proportions and we must enunciate in no uncertain terms the ideals of America.

Therefore we propose that the inscription on the Statue of Liberty is being amended and we would like to issue a correction to the foreigners of the world.

Apparently there has been a considerable amount of confusion among all of you foreigners about the United States of America that We, The People thought should be cleared up.
Honestly, let’s be realistic.  All that shit on the Statue of Liberty is garbage. For Christ sakes it was written by a woman…a Jewess no less.

We, The People of this country DO NOT wish to see our nation continue to be the ‘Mother of Exiles.’ Senator Rubio can attest to the fact that Miami is lousy with exiles – many of whom engage in illegal activities.  We don’t want the tired – Believe us, we have enough tired and lazy people here already and we definitely don’t need any more. We certainly don’t want the poor – we don't even like the poor we've got.  Really, if you can’t afford the highest healthcare costs in the Western Hemisphere, just don’t bother coming. We don’t care about any huddled masses – just take a look at how we treated those huddled slobs during Katrina if you think otherwise.  And we surely don’t want any wretched refuse from teeming shores of any other country; we have enough wretched refuse here already, plus the last thing we want is to give Obama any more supporters.  The Constitution makes no promises of homes, so we absolutely don’t want any more homeless people than we already have – don’t come here expecting free room and board. Go to France for that Socialist crap.  We have enough disaster within our own boarders so the tempest-tossed can find another place to go too – we’re talking to you, Haiti.

So, one of the first acts of the 112th Congress will be the allocation of funds to the National Parks Department for the revision of the text on the plaque held by The Statue of Liberty, heretofore to be known as the “Momma Grizzly Statue of Anti-Statism, Tyranny Hating Liberty”

The updated text shall read as follows;

Not unlike the brazen giant of Bedtime for Bonzo fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with an M-16 in hand, whose flame
Is armor piercing, and her name,
The Mother of all Grizzlies. From her trigger finger
Fires world-wide warning shots; her wild eyes command
The fenced in borders that militiamen frame.
"Keep your anchor tots, your terror mosques" cries she
With lipsticked pig lips. "Give me only your cheap products, your tax havens,
Your temporary migrant labor yearning to work like dogs then leave.
But the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, we thank you to enter no more.
Send not, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
And I thank you to exit our golden door!"

Thank you, and God Bless America
