Statue Of Liberty
=================
by Glenn Shorrock
Give me your hungry, give me your tired,
give me your homeless, give me your wanderers,
Statue of Liberty, standing in the harbour,
this is America, we try a little harder.
Oh, this is America, ah.
We set the standards and everyone will follow,
we've got our own values, but they're built on the dollar,
Statue of Liberty, standing in the harbour,
this is America, we try a little harder.
Oh, but now it's tumbling, fakin', quakin', tremblin' on its own foundation,
there's been so many warnings, too late the old lady's fallin',
the only thing to do is to get out of the way,
anything can happen in the U. S. of A.
ain't no use anymore in tryin' harder,
Statue of Liberty sinkin' in the harbour.
You can be a millionaire by steppin' on the needy,
words of equality, but they're written for the greedy,
Statue of Liberty, yeah, yeah, standing in the harbour,
this is America, we try a little harder.
Oh, this is America, ah.
Give me your hungry, give me your tired.
give me your homeless, give me your wanderers.
Give me your hungry, give me your tired.
give me your homeless, give me your wanderers.

ASHAMED WE SHOULD BE.... UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW
etherzone.com
By: John Reynolds
Despite the carefully orchestrated "reports", "photos" and
glowing words which allegedly reflect a joyful reunion between
little Elian Gonzalez and his father, I begin by reminding
every one of you that such signs of affection in a child
should not be surprising - if reports of the father having
been abusive to Elian's late mother are true, we should not be
stunned at the sight of Elian showing what appears to be
genuine happiness at seeing his father. If Elian did indeed
witness abuse to his mother, as has also been reported, he
learned immediately that if one displeases his father for any
reason, that the result may well be abuse and/or violence from
the father. Elian (and many children witnessing abuse) learn
quickly - give the abusive parent what they want, and abuse is
hopefully avoided. So what we may well be seeing is a little
boy who is responding in the only way he knows how - submit to
the demands of his father, of the government (whether U.S. or
Communist, it doesn't much matter anymore) and the teams of
suborned doctors, lawyers, photographic wizards, ad
nauseum....even if one gives Juan Miguel Gonzalez the benefit
of the doubt, his own words and actions cannot be fully
accepted, just as the words of a hostage are considered to be
spoken under duress - and with his remaining family members
sequestered away in Castro's Fortress Cuba, that essentially
"guarantees" that Juan Miguel will adhere to the bidding of
Castro's little communist kingdom, Elian's best interests be
damned.
April will now most certainly be known as a month of shame for
America, for it was in April that the Clinton/Reno Injustice
Department murdered innocent men, women and children at Waco,
Texas. April is already remembered for the month which gave us
Columbine, but moreover, it is remembered for the Clinton/Gore
Administration's exploitation of that human tragedy, and
tragedies like it to further their own gun confiscation
agenda.
This latest tragedy will mark April as a month for Americans
to hang their heads in shame, Easter Weekend 2000, when
federal storm troopers invaded the undefended and innocent
home of a little boy who asked only that he be given freedom
from the tyranny that his mother died to deliver him from.
Elian Gonzalez, is now being immersed in subtle and not-so-
subtle brainwashing by the pro-Castro goons who masquerade as
the Executive and Judicial Branches of the U.S. Government.
The very same government whose State Department clearly
branded Cuba, the police-state that little Elian escaped from,
as having one of the worst human rights records in the world,
persecutes it's citizens for any anti-government activity, has
made child slavery an institutionalized government program,
and practices every kind of blackmail, pressure and subterfuge
in order to maintain absolute totalitarian control over it's
population.
Even the United Nations, bureaucratic one-world cretins that
they are, have condemned Cuba for it's shameful record on
human rights. Naturally, Fidel Castro, one of the last
remaining Stalinists, takes issue with such criticisms, but
not to worry for Brothers Fidel and Raul, they have staunch
and lasting friends in the White House and the mainstream U.S.
media, that media which also merrily wails about any and every
gun tragedy they can find, shrieks for "gun control", and yes
indeed, it should now be clear to every American that gun
control is needed. Install trigger locks on every federally
owned gun, better yet: confiscate them all, and re-distribute
them to We The People, for it's obvious that the U.S.
Government can no longer be trusted with firearms.
Janet Reno. The name alone has now become the punch line for
thousands of humorless future jokes. She had the utter gall to
go on television and claim that "the finger wasn't on the
trigger", when that INS Storm Trooper pointed a machine gun
into the faces of Elian Gonzalez and Donato Dalrymple. I'm
sure that little Elian could see clearly that the "finger
wasn't on the trigger" as all hell broke loose in his world
the morning of April 22, 2000. Fidel Castro must surely have
smiled and laughed at the disgraceful irony of it all.
But let's conclude this on an optimistic note: the federal
assault on the Gonzalez home in Miami could have turned out
much worse: if the INS and U.S. Marshalls had borrowed FBI
Sniper Ron Horiuchi, (killer of Randy Weaver's wife) for their
operation, there might not have been a little boy left to
"rescue", now aren't we all grateful that Bill Clinton was so
personally involved in all of this? The Arkanfuehrer said it
best: "the rule of law must be upheld". Uh huh. Americans
should better understand now, how good and decent Germans felt
in the 1930's when the Nazi's controlling their government
began to show their true colors in earnest.
Is the burning of the Congress next?
