Liberty
by Lamberto Avellana
One hundred and fifty years is not a long time in the reckoning of a hill. But to a man it is long enough.
One hundred and fifty years is a weekend to an oak tree, but to a man it is two full lifetimes.
One hundred and fifty years is a twinkle to a star-but to a man, it is time enough to teach two generations the meaning of liberty-how to use it, how to guard it, when to fight for it, and if indeed to die for it.
But what is Liberty?
Of what is it compounded?
Liberty, friends, is a compelling force.
It is the noble strength that rang a huge bell and cracked it in the year 1776. It is a flame that came from a torch in the Bastille and lit a thousand other torches-to reduce an overbearing aristocrat to the level of humanity.
Thomas Jefferson knew it. Abraham Lincoln wrote about it on the back of a used envelope. Sikatuna. . .Lapu-Lapu. . .they couldn't spell it, but they tore open Spanish breast plates to find it. It made Bataan last those few more years. It saved Capas form becoming Dachau. It made every inch of battlefield a camp of resurrection.
Liberty is what made four GIs throw caution to the wind-to plant a battered flag on the summit of Iwo Jima. It is the lightness of heat found in every soldier in every battlefield. It is the night of vigil our women have kept and the tears that they have shed and the pride that they have felt for the brother and the husband and the son who have watched our ramparts and kept our homes safe and sound.
It is life itself.
It is not one war widow, or one orphan. It is not a half-said prayer or a half-sung hymn.
It is all these. . . and blood and sweat and tears. It is the gratitude we owe a great nation.
It is the fear that one day we might find a hammer and sickle where the Crucifix should be.
That is freedom. . .That is LIBERTY!

What does the Statue of Liberty have to do with your immigration laws?
She says, "Enter my country legally, according to law, and I will be glad to lift my lamp beside the golden door."
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to commemorate our signing of the Declaration of Independence. It has become symbolic of many things but has nothing to do with immigration law.
Another view:
Actually, the Statue of Liberty says in part, " "Give 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!"
We've had well over a century to take that down or cross that out if we don't like it. And as Alicia Silverstone's character "Cher" in the movie "Clueless" pointed out, it's a bit rude to invite people over for dinner, then shut the door in their face.
No where in the inscription does it speak of quotas or paperwork or immigration laws. Are you tired? Poor? Yearning to breathe free? Homeless? Tempest tossed? Then you are invited.
So what does the Statue of Liberty have to do with Immigration laws? Nothing. It's just a lie, the government owned and maintained invitation is not honored.

Some people on 'ere have right strange imaginations! And dirty minds.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the still-young USA as a symbol of peace and friendship, and will always be that for as long as it lasts - and if you know anything about 18-19C history you will see the irony in me, a Limey, telling you so!
I do not know if Isis represented those qualities, but I do know that if you think the Egyptian pyramids look phallic I suggest you consult a book on reproductive biology. They were simply royal tombs.
What does the sword in the right hand of the Statue of Freedom represent?
The sword is a symbol of peace that is prepared to be drawn if needed
