Statue of Liberty Inscription:

...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.

Emma Lazarus

Michael Moore's pledge:

Voting George Bush is to hammer home the Final Nail in the Coffin of Freedom.
It's easy to be deterred but send us useless, lazy people to surrender the settee; to do their supreme duty.

Destroy terrorism my way or the US may die.

Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes;
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases.

Lewis Carroll

Nanny state say "Spare the rod;
Strike a blow, you'll lose."
You'll rue this when the cheeky sod
became wise, stealing booze.

The Onion

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." (The opening words of Mark Antony's famous speech in Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare)

John F. Kennedy inaugurated an unlucky presidency with: "My fellow Americans..."

Blowin' in the wind by Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Oh Man by A N.O. Man

How many hurricanes must hit New Orleans
Before men admit they're the boss?
Yes, 'n' how many times must those damn levees break
Before Mr. Bush gives a toss?
Yes, 'n' how many claims must a householder make
With no money seen for his loss?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

What kind of a planet will our kids see
Without any ice caps 'n' oil?
Yes, 'n' why do the States divide man by race
Yet expect people all to be loyal?
Yes 'n' why do tax breaks reward the well off
When the poor receive none as they toil?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How does that Bush man justify war
And how does he feel he can sleep?
Yes 'n' many an Arab hit as a man
An enemy sown, now they reap;
Yes 'n' anyone beaten by mean FEMA men
May feel abandonment deep.
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
