Peronally, I thimk we should have blown the statue up after 9/11 and sent it back to France to show our disgust at France's opposition to fighting the war on terrorism.
I still think we should do it, and raise a gigantic statue of Jesus in it's place. Now that would be a thumb in the eye of the Muslim terrorists! It would also make a statement that this is a Christian nation.

I will make this crystal clear: if someone else suggests this ever again, I'm breaking out my shotgun and going Fundie hunting. You fuckers make me sick, attempting to destroy what freedom we have left.
Gene, Gene, the dumbfuck machine.

"Peronally, I thimk we should have blown the statue up after 9/11 and sent it back to France to show our disgust at France's opposition to fighting the war on terrorism."Yes, but that's because you are a shallow, myopic assbite. Deeper thinkers realize that that would not help the world situation in any way.
"I still think we should do it, and raise a gigantic statue of Jesus in it's place."
Yes, but that's because you are still a shallow, myopic assbite and a Xian moron.
"Now that would be a thumb in the eye of the Muslim terrorists!"
Yes, it would be. It would be a "thumb in the eye" of all non-Xians including your non-Xian countrymen. Even more to the point, it would serve no beneficial purpose.
"It would also make a statement that this is a Christian nation."
Yes, except for the fact that this was NOT and is NOT a Xian nation. Please note:
"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion..." From Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797. Unanimously ratified by the U.S. Senate and signed by President John Adams.
and
"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father and 3rd President of the United States
Riiiiiiight, blowing up the greatest monument of liberty and the strongest symbol of freedom and democracy in this country would show your disgust of ... what, exactly? Freedom and democracy, it looks like to me. It also would show that you are violently out of touch with the teachings of the man you claim to follow -- as well as out of touch with the reality that this is NOT, nor has it ever been, a Christian nation.
The new wave of fundie christians are all about explosives, torture, murder, death and revenge.
Hello? Homeland Security? I would like to report a terrorist threat made against the Statue of Liberty? Yes, the one in New York harbor.
Brothers and sisters, I tell you that Satan’s paganism is alive and well in New York City.

"Oh, I'm sure there's a whole lot of Americans who would like to see a lasting symbol of freedom destroyed. By our own people, nonetheless."
This reminds me of that one time, those people made a Statue of Liberty, only she was holding a cross and copy of the ten commandments...
*sigh*
A christian nation with 20% of its population non-Christian. Sounds weird but........besides, as far as I am concerned, they crashed the planes because of that, that's the point. On the other side, was not France MORE CHRISTIAN THAN ANYBODY, opposing the killing of innocent people in a country which had NO LINKS WITH AL-QAEDA whatsoever?.
I still think we should [blow up the Statue of Liberty], and raise a gigantic statue of Jesus in it's place.

France isn't the only country that opposes our involvement in Iraq. What should we do, burn down every single restaurant serving food from countries that don't support us? Ban ethnic pride parades?
You're a moron.

Hmm, which other people can we think of who like to blow up irreplacable, historically important statues?
Anti - Dei: Crap, you beat me to it. ;-;
And dw, you spelled it right.

Can I join you?

Blow up one of the major icons in the world which symbolizes FREEDOM, and replace it with a Jesus statue? Yeah, you should have done that. You fundies couldn't have send a stronger signal to the world what your real agenda is: Replace your democracy based on freedom with a theocracy based on thought control.
For your plan of "blowing up the Statue of Liberty", I can recommend you some experienced consultants: They are called the Taliban, and they have shown their expertise by blowing up some statues of great significance (the statues of Bamiyan):

Well, American freedom, hope and ideals were pretty much destroyed when the PATRIOT Act passed. Destroying an internationally recognized symbol of the latter seems oddly appropriate.
Setting up the gigantic statue of Jesus seems appropriate as well. After all, that's all Jesus is to your lot: a lifeless object. To you, Jesus is an object of veneration, not guidance. You love to praise him, preach about him, sing about him, usually as loudly and as publicly as possible. However, when it comes to following his teachings about love and compassion you have entire libraries devoted to explaining why you can ignore what he said and follow your own selfish impulses.
No Gene, this is not a Christian nation. It isn't just because the Constitution fails to specify a national religion. It isn't just because the 1st Amendment gives us to right to worship as and if we choose. Its because your lot thinks that big gaudy statues and loud praising of your "savior's" name are an adequate substitution for following his teachings.
How is the war on terrorism going? Costing you insane amounts of money, but leading nowhere in particular, perhaps...
It would be a greater thumb in the eye of the Jews, silly. Muslims accept Jesus as one of the prophets, Jews don't accept him at all.
Why do you hate the US Constitution?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
