Statue History X

Bbbbuuuttttt...

Democrats think that stupid plaque is a founding document!

And they misunderstand what that poem means. It was a taunt to the monarchs of Europe. It says give us you refuse and we will hold the light of freedom to elumunate the golden door. That door was for every one who came here and worked hard. Those people could achieve the riches of the monarchies of Europe. Something no one but royalty could achieve in Europe.

Dems just think it means send us your parasites whose only reason to come to America is to collect welfare, get free medical care and get free housing. They think the poem is so we can have any kind of alien come here and bleed the country dry.

Conservatives say, by all means come here, but do it legally and do not expect any handouts. If you come here you have to contribute by your labor, skills and education to make everyone here, including yourself, more prosperous. You have to produce.

What conservatives are saying is what the poem at the base of the statue of Liberty is really saying.

Agreed, context means nothing to them.

Context being that the OP may not quite necessarily be a Democrat.

He is asking for what Righties define as (albeit, falsely) Socialism to intercede for the sake of price controls, so it's safe to say he's most likely a Republican.

Wow! That is some feat of unpacking.

I am so dumb I didn't see any of those words.

Price controls? Socialism?

No! Just stop printing fiat currency and sending it to Zalenski.

Yeah, it was.

But it's ok to keep the printing presses rolling for that good ol' unlimited fiat currency on request for Netanyahu?

Why would we listen to a gift from France.... It could have been a plot from France back in the day asking America for it's tired, hungry, and poor. The government really has issues, and protecting the us citizens from corporate thugs is one of them.

The sign was put up after it got here, and only the torch arm was gifted. The rest was built by the US.

I noticed the other day, and started paying attention! These point counts are not adding up!

3 likes on this one alone since I last looked plus I made a meme so I am calling bullshit on the 81 points! This site is a joke! Every social media and meme page is f**king with me!

The points tally and add up on a timer. So stuff you doesn't show right away in terms of points, it shows up during the next calculation of points. I will look at my profile - see so many points... Then I look at Top 250 users and my points count there isn't as much as my profile. So the profile updates faster than top 250 List does... But neither are necessarily instant, because they are both on a timer.

Word of advice too... If you're making memes to get points, you'll get way less points than if you're here making good content. Good content gets points way faster than watching the points.

I have received 1292 points in the last 24 hours while 1 meme has 38 likes! Not counting meme creation, comment likes and the like!

I am not here for a social credit score! I am a fabricator, Salvage mostly...it is my job to pay attention, find what is not right and fix it. I didn't even know there was a top list! I am just going off what I see on my own page! When I make a meme, my points jump, when I refresh, my points jump. I just noticed the other day on one meme my points jumped this much....but one (just one of my memes not all) had more likes accumulated than what my points jumped! So I called bullshit! I am currently having the same crap happen on 4 other websites! I am not saying it is IMGFLIP itself...I am just saying strange things are afoot at the circle meme!

Yes indeed and that famous wording on the Statue of Liberty comes from an AntiAmerican subversive and larger agenda to destroy this country and its founding national stock. For folks who don't already know: NONgoogle 'American Krogan'. Cheers, folks.

It’s funny how you people will complain about being poor one minute, and then cry socialism whenever someone suggests that you shouldn’t be.

The solution is getting rid of the uniparty! Unconstitutional laws, over taxation on everything, and regulating every inch of your life...what kind of light bulbs you can buy, where you can go if you are not vaccinated, what kind of fuel you can use,or what words are true, false, hate or fact. The list has jumped well past 1984!

Who’s telling me what light bulbs I can’t buy?

Selective memory much?

They were all forcibly removed from stores by regulation? Remember?

Huh, that’s weird, because I’m still seeing them on sale.

Tell me you are one of those people in the same camp as those that think the fact it snowed proves climate change is not real without telling me that you think the fact it snowed proves climate change is not real ...

Many bulbs, including specialty bulbs, three-way bulbs, chandelier bulbs, refrigerator bulbs, plant grow lights and others, are exempt from the law's requirements. It was passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush in 2007 and is implemented by the U.S. Department of Energy ...
