Robin Williams Sez: (political)

[amicus]

(Edited to add: The authenticity of the source of this piece has been questioned, thus I must amend this post to attribute the piece to an 'unknown' author.)

This is one of those things that arrive once in a while in the mail box and since I personally think Robin Williams to be one of the world's finest comedians, I thought I would share it.

~~~

You gotta love Robin Williams.........Even if he's nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.

Robin Williams' plan...(Hard to argue with this logic!)

'I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan.'

1) 'The US will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting with Germany , South Korea , the Middle East , and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence..

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers.. If they don't attend classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby.

6) The US will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while

7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)

8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere.' They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need.. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH..learn it....or LEAVE....Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?

'The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' '

If you agree with the above forward it to friends...If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it!!

This was posted here not to long ago and it's bullshit now as it was then. Robin Williams never said any of it or used it in his act.

Check shit before you post it. If you were a report even on the radio, that's one of the first things you learn. Oh wait, opinion and bullshit are your trademark.

George Carlin never said ay of that either, but I've seen the same list attributed to him.

After a lot of searching in the 'Net, apparently the peace plan wasn't the words of Robin Williams. However this paragraph was the words of Robin Williams:

"The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?' "

Hmmm...okay, I yield to your superior knowledge and correct assessment, I did not verify the authenticity of the source...thus, since I cannot change the title, I will attribute it to an unknown author and thank him/her from a distance.

as always...

www.snopes.com sez it's not Robin's, just the last point about Lady Liberty. No one knows who generated it. Robin's name and his quote was added later for 'authenticity'. It's first posting was in March 2003 to USENET and it spread like wildfire.

William's Statue of Liberty line is incredibly disparaging of current US policy.

So funny-- and sad-- that people read it as approbation.

[amicus]

I would suggest, regardless of who authored it, that the sentiment is reflected by over half, way over half of the people in the USA.

Which, of course, is why I decided to post it.

Ami, you really need to visit this site;
http://opposingviews.com

Those people will appreciate your erudition so much more than we ever could. Leave us. We'll get along without you, somehow.

You posted BULLSHIT and aren't man or woman enough to admit it.....Never let something like the TRUTH get in the way of your convictions (IN YOUR CASE, DELUSIONS!!!)

YOU ARE TRULY A PIECE OF WORK, A VERITABLE 'GLENN BECK OF THE SIXTIES' - WHAT A LOSER!!!

[Handley_Page]

Amicus, as previously mentioned this piece of amusing nonsense crept round a while ago (and continues to circulate). I'm prepared to bet that a lot of folk feel that it has expressed a well-felt sentiment.
We've had similar amusements over here.

But I am surprised you got caught by it.
[ there, but for the grace of God, go we all ]

[Stella_Omega]

And then of course, a lot of people think it's a bunch of hooey.

I'm not surprised in the least that ami got caught by it-- it says exactly what he wants to hear-- as he himself points out.
