Are you ready for an American history lesson from Sarah Palin?
Uh, I believe the proper phrase is "thank you", Balloon Juice, for sharing this with us:
“This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies,” Palin said to cheers from the crowd.
Thanks, France in 1886! Thanks for warning us about countries that had adopted socialist policies in 1886. You know, all none of them.
“Lady Liberty is the symbol of unity and friendship we have with other freedom-loving nations. It’s also a “warning” of sorts, as France encouraged us to keep democracy alive as the recipient of this gift… basically telling us not to blow it. Thank you for this reminder, France!”
She's right about one thing: don't blow it, America.
