Words printed at the base of the Statue of Liberty — worth remembering when the red state folks push the meme that patriotism is only about swinging a big stick — before protecting our borders from foreign culture trumped safeguarding the inalienable rights of all men.<\/p>\n

The New Colossus<\/strong>
\n Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
\nWith conquering limbs astride from land to land;
\nHere at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
\nA mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
\nIs the imprisoned lightning, and her name
\nMother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
\nGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
\nThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
\n“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
\nWith silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
\nYour huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
\nThe wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
\nSend these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
\nI lift my lamp beside the golden door!”<\/em>
