   Shame on America!

   Hello Everybody,   
      
   Shame on America!   
      
   The French people gave the American people a present long ago,   
   a very real Statue of Liberty, with an engraved inscription of   
   a poem written by Emma Lazarus -   
      
                The New Colossus   
      
    Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,   
      
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land;   
      
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand   
      
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame   
      
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name   
      
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand   
      
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command   
      
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.   
      
    "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she   
      
    With silent lips. "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-tost to me,   
      
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"   
      
   And now, 31 governors, representing the people of   
   their respective states, have turned their backs on   
   those who are most desperately in need of our help.   
   30 of those governors are Republican, 1 is Democrat.   
   All of them a sorry excuse of a human being.   
      
   Here is a list of those states whose governors   
   oppose Syrian refugees coming in -   
      
   1 Alabama   
   2 Arizona   
   3 Arkansas   
   4 Florida   
   5 Georgia   
   6 Idaho   
   7 Illinois   
   8 Indiana   
   9 Iowa   
   10 Kansas   
   11 Louisiana   
   12 Maine   
   13 Maryland   
   14 Massachusetts   
   15 Michigan   
   16 Mississippi   
   17 Nebraska   
   18 Nevada   
   19 New Hampshire   
   20 New Jersey   
   21 New Mexico   
   22 North Carolina   
   23 North Dakota   
   24 Ohio   
   25 Oklahoma   
   26 South Carolina   
   27 South Dakota   
   28 Tennessee   
   29 Texas   
   30 Wisconsin   
   31 Wyoming   
      
   Here is a list whose governors were brave enough to say   
   they are willing to accept refugees -   
      
   1 Colorado   
   2 Connecticut   
   3 Delaware   
   4 Hawaii   
   5 Pennsylvania   
   6 Vermont   
   7 Washington   
      
   All the remaining governors are too chickenshit to say   
   one way or another.   
      
   "Land of the free and home of the brave" my ass!   
      
   SHAME ON AMERICA!
