… UNLESS WE START ACCEPTING THOUSANDS OF SYRIAN REFUGEES
|| By FITSNEWS || We knew U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina hated liberty. And thought liberty lovers were crazy.
Now he wants to tear down the Statue of Liberty …
During a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Graham said America “should take the Statue of Liberty and tear it down” if it refuses to open its borders and take its “fair share” of additional refugees from war-torn Syria.
You know … the country where Graham’s allies are beheading Christians. The country he has perpetually tried to invade using outrageous fear-mongering.
Graham also slammed GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for his immigration reform proposals – which included expanded resources for the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants.
“When they write the history of these times, Lindsey Graham, who is from the reddest of red states, can say the following: I refused to break up families for my political benefit because I know what it’s like to have your family destroyed,” Graham said.
Graham’s open borders nonsense clearly isn’t resonating with the GOP electorate. His long-shot presidential bid is currently polling at less than one percent (less than zero, even) nationally … and Graham can’t even break five percent in his home state.

Graham needs to go to Syria and offer his support to the Syrian people. Muslims love his kind.
Actually Muslims take a deeply draconian view of the lifestyle often suspected of Miss Lindsey.
I am well aware of the suspected sexual preference of a guy that Dick Harpootlian referred to as “light in the loafers.” It is no wonder that he is friends with Barney Frank. My comment was sarcasm.
Graham is headed for a straight-jacket. This is not the 1800s anymore. The USA can’t afford to be busting at the seams with illegals and refuges as it is. His mentality is that of a raging madman.
Amen! The world’s Police, the world’s homeless shelter, the world’s soup line. We cannot afford it anymore. protect our own first, our homeless first, our borders first, our hungry first, our jobless first!
These career politicians, the professional politicians and the ruling class: Bushs, Clintons, Wilsons, Peelers, McGills, Sanfords, Eckstroms, and their friends and relatives all living off the taxpayers, from one office or Govt job to the next…ENOUGH!!
He’s on a roll, like butter contaminated with salmonella.
Is this more of the war on women?
Not bad for a liberal. :)
It was just so obvious.
I’ve had my fair share of Graham.

You know you people are annoying and NO ONE reads your SPAM! But advertising like LEGITIMATE businesses!
How do you expect me to find suitable houseboys without desperate illegals coming here to “work”?
“….I know what it’s like to have your family destroyed,” Graham said….”
Eschewing women will certainly destroy his chance of adding another branch to the Graham family tree.
Politically, when you have been ignored and are desperate to make your mark in presidential politics, any publicity is a positive.
“Hawkeye Pierce:
Frank Burns does not know his way around an operating theater, he does
not know his way around a body. And if you will have observed anything,
you will have observed that Major Frank Burns is an idiot. He has
flipped his wig, that he’s out of his head, that he’s a lousy surgeon.
“Hotlips O’Houlihan:
Oh on the contrary, I have observed. And Major Burns is not only a good technical surgeon, he is a good military surgeon.”
Even at 0% he is polling much better than he deserves.

The most recent poll shows less than one half of one percent of Republicans support him for the Presidential nomination. That is the same percentage as the last time the poll was conducted.
His support has to DOUBLE just to reach 1%.
Yet this stupid state has elected him to public office continuously since 1994.
“While I breath, I am a dope”
Not a Graham fan but ANY Republican is better than the Stalin,Mao and Hitler type candidates the Democrat Party generates in every election cycle.
Bernie Sanders is a poster child for what 8 years of Barack Obama did to the Democrat Party.
I am so sick and so tired of Lindsey and his never ending hyperbole on any and all subjects.
Using Lindsey’s line of thought, I guess he wants to free murderers, child molesters and rapists from prison since it breaks up their families to keep them behind bars. Lindsey is single – maybe he should let 5 or 6 refugees come live in his house.
I’m sure the guy has other motives with this but he is right, refusing to help refugees does clash with the sentiment behind the Statue of Liberty.
Send 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!
Seems pretty clear to me. But then again our “Christian” nation no longer is concerned about these folks.
When France sent the statue to us, that wasn’t anywhere on it nor the reason they sent it here.
Exactly, we added that. That was all us. American exceptionalism.
You don’t encourage “exceptionalism” by taking in the worst of the worst….try getting into this country today as an Irish mechanical engineer or a Indian IT worker….it’s damn near impossible. But we’re more than willing to take utter primitives like Somalis.
You can’t encourage exceptionalism. It is a state of being. You are either exceptional or you are not. Its not who we take, its is the people we make of them once they are here. Every country in the world wants the best and the brightest. Trying to find ways to bring the best, the brightest, the most successful, from other places to here, is neither unique nor exceptional. Creating the best, the brightest, the most successful, is unique and exceptional.
They best and the brightest did not come to the colonies, prior to the revolution. They were happy where they were. Our nation was built on the backs of “utter primitives.” The dregs of European society; the outcasts; the unwanted, the uneducated, those without lands and title, the poor.
You can’t “make” anything out of people lacking the will or intelligence . 90% of the Somalis taken in over the past 20 years are still on government assistance. Europeans were already inculcated in the values and cultures of Western civilization.
How many Somalis have we taken in over the past 20 years and were do you get the statistics on government assistance. Have they been offered work visas and green cards?
You socialists only care about immigrants now because the Democrat Party can’t win elections anymore-you need NEW voters.
Ain’t gonna happen!
Which copy of the Constitution is that codified in? Not mine.
None. It had nothing to do with the Constitution. It was a poem about American exceptionalism; American confidence; American hope; American values and the light we as a people hoped to bring into a world of oppression and cruelty. The way we saw ourselves. The way we as a people wanted history to remember us.
But times change. So if that is no longer the case, maybe we should take it down.
Yeah, when the statue of liberty was built, we were still murderlating huddled masses of Indians, but hey, we should probably just pretend America was built on an idealistic poem written by rich white people.
Yeah, we’re the only country in history to conquer and replace a previous culture….idiot.
Hey, I’m all for it. If we didn’t, I wouldn’t be here today. We don’t have to pretend that everything was all good back in 1787 and therefore we need to let all cultures in today to meet some make believe ideal.
No one is trying to whitewash history. I never said America was built on an idealistic poem; and it sure as heck was not built by rich white people. It was built by common men and women, fleeing tyranny and oppression; and carving out a new nation with new ideas; and yes making some mistakes in the process. History is what it is. History books are about history and should always be accurate. We cannot know where we are going, how far we have come, and if we are the becoming our best us, unless we know where we came from.
The poem on the statute is aspirational and inspirational, not historical. As I said, this was a poem about how we see or saw ourselves. How we want or wanted history to remember us. This poem is about our dreams, our hopes; our values, and our confidence. The very essence of American exceptionalism. We saw ourselves as a light in the darkness. Something unique in the world.
But again, if that is no longer the case. We should take it down.
That sappy poem and that homely-ass womans’ statue (by a Frenchman, no less) are NOT law or public policy.
Lindsey, When your in a hole, quit digging dummy!
Grahamnesty said…why yes I said that and I don’t care if honest voters disagree
We should take those gihadists and of course all the closet gays can…stay with me !!!
This little twit is really starting to get my last few nerves!
