French pol wants US to give back Statue of Liberty: ‘You despise it’ - nypost.com/.../?utm_source=chatgpt.com


French politician Raphaël Glucksmann has called for the U. S. to return the Statue of Liberty, claiming that America has deviated from the values symbolized by the statue. He criticized the U. S. for aligning with tyrants and dismissing scientific freedom. The White House has firmly rejected this suggestion, emphasizing America’s historical role in defending freedom.

Personally, No – The Statue of Liberty was a gift, not a lease. It was given as a gesture of friendship and shared values during a time when both nations believed in liberty as a guiding principle. Even if our governments disagree on policy today, the statue stands for more than current politics—it’s a symbol of hope, welcome, and the potential for freedom. Returning it would feel more like erasing history than correcting course.
But I also get why some in France feel disillusioned. If the U. S. loses sight of the liberty it once stood for, then maybe the statue’s presence does ring hollow. That’s not a reason to send it back, though—it’s a reason to live up to what it represents.

Back when I was much younger, in my dating days, I was working on a project out of town and called my then-girlfriend around 8pm. We had a great phone call, talked about all kinds of things, and then we both realized that it was 7am and we had to get to work... no sleep that night. That call lasted 11 hours, and cost me quite a bit (it was a landline call from the hotel I was staying at), but it was worth it.
