The Statue of Liberty was modeled after an Arab woman

The statue's designer, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, was enamored with Egyptian pyramids and monumental sculpture. According to historian Edward Berenson, in the 1860s, Bartholdi decided to build a monument to commemorate the opening of Egypt's Suez Canal.

"And that monument was going to be a woman in the southern opening of the canal holding up a torch over her head and that woman was dressed in Arab peasant garb,” Berenson says. But when the ruler of Egypt, Khedewi Ismail Pasha, went bankrupt, the colossal Suez sculpture project was jettisoned.

The Statue of Liberty should be detained and thoroughly vetted. She could be hiding something in her torch.

This is an interesting article for several reasons. It says something about who's poorest, getting the most welfare, on drugs, at minimum wage, on Obamacare, and most supportive of Trump.

What's the difference between Eastern Kentucky and Philadelphia?

Poor white people out in the country vs poor black people in the inner city.

Both lack jobs and have found comfort in drugs. Both are on public assistance.

I remember when white conservatives thought you didn't look to government to help you out. You pulled up your boot straps and went to work

That's the point; they act like they are not the takers, that they are not the problem. But they are, and in many cases, even more so.

But to answer your question:

Gentlemen, I don't disagree with what you're saying, but we can't continue this conversation.
We aren't going to let this forum turn into what Facebook has become.
Nobody has argued or complained yet. We don't want it to start.
