Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous icons of the USA to Americans, along with Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon.
The monument itself stands at over 90 metres (being rather French), half of which is the statue itself, half being its base.
The Bible says, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." (Exodus 20:9)
[edit] History
The statue was a given by France in 1876 as a birthday gift to America to celebrate their centennial of independence from the British (with whom they both have a historical enmity), and it now stands at Liberty Island and symbolizes concepts such as freedom, democracy and, indeed, liberty.
The statue remains a popular tourist attraction to this day despite its liberal connotations.
A few idiots wanted to ship the statue back to the French in 2003, around the same time those people started calling those fried potato things freedom fries. This would have destroyed a national icon out of pure annoyance.
The Libertarian Party has adopted the Statue of Liberty as its symbol, conveniently forgetting that this big government statue was donated by socialist France and is maintained by the communistic National Park Service with our tax dollars. Whoops.
[edit] Alleged Satanic Representation
Conservative Christian conspiracy theorist Mark Dice claims that the Statue Of Liberty was designed by French Freemasons and is secretly meant to represent Lucifer. No other crank or rational person has ever made such allegations. Dice wrote a rather arrogantly written article (typical of him) on his website outlining this claim.
