he's at it again ... now he's saying our country is a garbage can...
even though he was born and raised with the Statue of Liberty keeping watch over his home ... maybe he never read her sonnet?
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."
Emma Lazarus
this is personal ... i am a grandchild of immigrants
our borders are broken - let's work together to fix the problems
stop the fear-mongering and the hate spewing and the name calling ... we wouldn't allow kindergartners to behave so atrociously - sheesh
America IS great - we're NOT a failing nation - and we have MORE IN COMMON than what separates us
just sayin'
Having a family member actually come through Ellis Island, it is personal. We all do have more in common than not we just need to remember to use than now rare thing called common sense! P.S. Thanks for teaching and encouraging me to use mine.
ReplyDeleteAll sociopath's want is power. They don't want responsibility or being held accountable; they just want to tell you how high to jump and for you ask how high. They rewrite history every day to remember what they though happened and not what truly happened. They are bullies and master manipulators. They are so nice to you when they want something, but if you don't do what they want they will make your life miserable any way they can. Sound familiar? I lived with that my whole life, except for the last 7 years. Mental, physical, psychological abuse. It's a wonder I turned out a decent person! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteDumb and dumber's relatives immigrated to this country. Immigrates make this country a great place. Who is going to pick the food and do the jobs most of us don't want to do if all our immigrants are banished? They are hard working people and I have had the pleasure to meet many people from different parts of the world and I find their stories fascinating!
