Robin Williams plan for America

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, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA 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 from. 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, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting 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?' '

Hmmm, this doesn't sound much like Robin Williams. More like O'rielly or Palin. Got a linky?

As a relative of former illegal aliens (made legal by the 1980's amnesty) I find it distasteful.

I'm calling Shenanigans on this "quote". After his most recent NYC show, this goes against just about EVERYTHING he's written in the past 20 years. In fact, the first set of statements contradict themselves: They paint a pro-involvement policy with other nations, but then are anti-immigration and state "keep your problems to yourself". Williams may be all over the map, but he's hardly inconsistent with his content. He is quite a Liberal in his own right (although some of his ideas I haven't been keen on, but overall his views I can get behind).

Direct source information would be welcomed on this one... this smells fishy

Took all of 30 seconds.... FALSE!!!! The only true part of that "plan" is the final quote, where The Statue of Liberty should be replaced with a Baseball bat and the quote "You wanna piece of me?". But, this was in response to a completely unrelated topic about American involvement in humanitarian efforts without enforcement of human rights along with it (or something to that effect. Trying to dig up a clear event source where this quote came from)

Nothing to see here boys. Move along.

Whether he said it or not, who gives a flying fuck what Robin Williams thinks? Because he's a mostly washed up B actor and comedian we should value his opinion?

Not a surprise that the wingnuttiest would try such an easily falsifiable attempt at jacking the man's good name for their hate speech and revisionist history. When you're convinced that God's on your side, the ends justify the means.

Chain mail for idiots. I saw this one 10 years ago, the first time I saw it was labeled 'Andy Rooney'.

Also love the scene after...

Two best lines...
"They put me in the lineup and let the bright light ch'ine."
"Fuckin' vodka, man!"
