ROBIN WILLIAMS FOR THE NEW SEC. OF STATE]
Perhaps someone with guts in the UK should get up and present similar sentiments on our behalf!!
HE MADE THIS SPEECH IN NEW YORK ..
The Plan!
?
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that says ‘I love New York ‘ in Arabic.
You gotta love Robin Williams……Even if he’s nuts! Leave it to Robin Williams to come up with the perfect plan. What we need now is for our UN Ambassador to stand up and repeat this message.
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 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. 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 will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing nonpolluting 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.)
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?’ ‘
If you agree with the above forward it to friends…If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it!!

I’m going to forward this to everyone I know. People should know about the way America is being ruined by Asylum seekers and clearly the best way to spread this message is through a Robin Williams routine. God bless America.
Everyone over the age of 40 should be made to read Snopes for an hour a day before they’re allowed to use email.

well I used to like him, but i guess he doesn’t like me =(
I do shit in gimp. So I guess that make sense.
I was about to share your blog with my friends, but saw this terrible piece. I had no idea Robin Williams was such a stupid bigot. He does a great job of glossing over military coups, underestimating America’s dependence on oil, ignoring the enormous contributions of immigrants that are typically more educated than hicks like hims. America is stronger because of its immigrants, and thankfully, I live here with Obama and not in xenophobic Europe.
Well done for completely missing the point in every conceivable way
i agree with Rawan, i used to like robin williams, but i’s obvious he doesn’t like me. all i feek is complete disappointment, i thought he was smarter than this. and if it’s a joke it niether funny or tasteful.
Yeah..I think the point was missed. It’s over here *points to one side of the world* and everyone else is over here searching for birds in the sea *points to sea on the other side of the world*
Robin did not say this… it’s an email gimick. That’s why it is suggested to look things up on Snopes. (Not just over 40, but everyone!)
I believe its a great speech.

This was not made by Williams.
Khadija clearky you are not as smart as you think you are for not checking if this statement was real!!!!
There are a few things I’d like to point out here. First and foremost, Robin Williams did not say this. How do I know? Because they aren’t funny. I’m not saying ‘ooh, I’m offended and these jokes are offensive to me!’ I’m saying that they just aren’t funny.
Secondly, this is the most half-baked ‘plan’ I’ve ever seen in my life.
Here’s what’s wrong with your little ‘to-do’ list:
1. Our country hires a number of diplomats, ambassadors, and yes, even the President, to behave like adults and keep lines of communication open between ourselves and other countries in the name of progress and peace. If one of these ambassadors, or the President, were to announce that the rest of the world could no longer count on any aid from us, we would be reviled and hated by the rest of the world. Behaving like a bratty child and announcing “go fix your own problems by yourself!” would alienate us from the rest of the world, and don’t forget that our country’s economy is dependant on trading.
2. Withdraw the troops from around the world? Not so bad an idea. But station them all at the border to look for people sneaking through the fence? C’mon, seriously? First of all, Mexicans sneaking across the border to work as day laborers are the least of our country’s problems. What, you’re mad because they don’t pay taxes? If they were naturalized, how much money do your really think Uncle Sam would get from them anyway? If you’re making $20,000 a year or less, you get most of that money back in April. Do you mean you’d station the troops at the Canadian border? Because that’s where all the 9/11 terrorists entered the US. Furthermore, would you want to live in a country that has a big wall built around it with sharp-shooters ready to kill anything that moves? Doesn’t that seem a bit Orwellian (or at least like Escape From New York?).
3. Okay, illegals have 90 days to pack their bags and go home. Good idea. The problem: how do you enforce it? Create a Gestapo to go door-to-door checking passports? You’d better bring your travelling papers with you when you go to the store to buy milk. Remember that not every American is a blond-haired blue-eyed Caucasian, and that not every person with dark skin is an immigrant (or terrorist), so it’s not that easy to start picking illegal aliens out of a crowd. You’d only be able to catch these people if you threw away every American citizen’s civil rights. I thought that’s what the conservative right were all about: freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to bear arms. It’s a package deal.
4. Future visitors limited to 90 days? Well, when does a visitor become a resident alien? You mean that no one from India can come to medical school in the US? No European scientists can come conduct experients in American labs, working for American companies? You’d be refusing to train doctors and holding back scientific progress. Speaking of scientific progress, you know that we granted political asylum to the German Jewish scientists who ended up inventing the H-Bomb, which we used to put an end to World War II, right? Oh, but Einstein would have just ended up as another cab driver, right…
5. It is true that many of the captured terrorists were here on student visas while they weren’t attending any classes. There should be a better way to prevent these visas from being issued. However, a student visa can also apply to a student of religion: a Muslim cleric coming to educate American Muslims, an Israeli rabbi coming to educate American Jews, or an Irish priest coming to educate American Christians. You prevent religious institutions from spreading their Holy word, and there will be an uproar from the religious community.
6. The US should indeed become self-reliant on energy. But a ‘temporary’ drilling in Alaska? Drilling isn’t temporary, that’s the whole point. You can cut down a forrest, and the forrest grows back. Oil does not grow back, and all the Alaskan wilderness that would be destroyed would not grow back - Alaska is already home to many endangered species which would likely be wiped out if we started drilling there, and not to mention that if global warming is to be believed, the eco system up there is already fragile. Pumping out a bunch of oil would not help.
7. Offer Saudi Arabia $10 a barrel? Well, we’d get to hear what a laughing Saudi sounds like. Here’s the thing about trade: if you aren’t willing to pay for an item, someone else usually will. How about China, or Russia, or maybe just a sneaky American private company goes in and buys all the oil that we’re supposed to be refusing to buy, and then sells it back to the American people when the pumps at Exxon and Shell have run dry? We can’t afford to go on an oil hunger-strike, our country depends on it like a drug. There’s a reason why the drivers of America were still buying gas at $3.50 or $4 per gallon - we needed it. If we don’t buy the oil at the $70 a barrel or whatever, someone else will, and then sell that same barrel at a profit. It’s what Capitalism is all about. And you don’t hate Capitalism, do you?
8. This is the most ridiculous of the whole bunch. Really, we’ll just let them starve? That would get those people who already hate our country’s wealth to hate us even more. Let them pray to Allah? Okay. I guess we should have told the people of New Orleans to pray to God and let him figure out how to solve their problems too when the flood hit.
9. Moving the UN to another location is just a strange idea. Suggesting it serve as an illegal alien lock-up is just plain bizarre.
10. I don’t think Americans need to go to charm and beauty school, I think we just need to look around and understand that the world is full of different people, and that we all have differnt ways of doing things, and that the American way of doing things isn’t always the best way. Hey, usually it is! But we can’t be right all the time. Yeah, everyone that becomes a citizen of the US should learn how to speak English. But have you ever travelled outside of the country? Most everybody else in the world outside of the US can speak more than one language. There’s no reason why American student’s can’t also learn Spanish or French or German to the point of FLUENCY by the time they’re twelve years old. But for some reason, our country just doesn’t put a value on learning other languages. And that’s fine. But if you don’t want the rest of the world to think of you and your people as ‘ugly Americans’, then maybe you should bend a little bit and try to see things their way once in a while.
I agree that there should be a better way to control immigration in our country, but that doesn’t mean we should limit it or start turning people away. We are all lucky to live here, and most of us were lucky enough to be born here. We should focus on providing a good example for the other nations of the world to follow, not pulling back into our shell and refusing to talk to anyone who doesn’t want to change their beliefs to a carbon-copy of our own.
A new baseball-bat wielding Statue of Liberty? Nah, I saw we let Lady Liberty stay just as she’s been for the past 100 years.
And by the way, it wasn’t hard to argue with that logic at all.
Hey, I just wanted to clear up that I understand what the person who runs this blog isn’t the author of the supposed Robin Williams list - a co worker emailed me this stupid list this morning and I Googled ‘Robin Williams New York speech’ to see if it was real (and of course it is not) and this blog and a few others came up. I crafted my response and posted it on a different blog and thought I’d re-post it here. As for my co-worker, I don’t think I’ll be discussing politics with her any time soon.
One last thing - props to Local Girl for seeing through this whole thing from the beginning and pointing out what’s obvious: only people who know they are wrong feel the need to make stuff up.
But why did they choose Robin Williams anyway? I mean, I like Mrs. Doubtfire and Aladin as much as anyone else, but it is certainly a weird choice.
thank-you robin, i am pissed at my government. thanks for sending out everything to 3rd world countries to be massed produced.even our steel industry is gone.china owns a big pcs of long beach harbor. it will never be right.too many foregners here now.white folks let these people do all the work because we are fucking lazy.beer drinking imbreaders.china, indonesea, idia,build everything that we used to make.can you tell me what is still made in u.s.a.? other than babys .american cars and trucks suck. we have been controlled by unions. they made the price of autos out of reach of average people. plus they dont last anymore. look at cars made in the pre 1970s . every one involved in making these cars really cared. not anymore. also when was the last time someone said please or thank-you . yes sir or no mam . we are rude crude and push are way through traffic at high speeds. gang bangers ,rape. child abuse ,drug abuse, priest taking what they want ,dont get punished,just relocated.i voted for obama,he talked the big talk..bush and chainey and halaburten ran the country.bush is in my mind the dumbest man to ever live in the whitehouse. i think his cheese has slid off his cracker . and how about shooting a man in his face, and then that man apologizing to dick for putting dick through a bad time. global warming yes.global stupidity yes.we need to be manufactoring every thing here in the u.s.a. just for starters .we need to aliminate special interest groups, we need to get rid of lobbyists. my spelling is bad . you get the message anyway.to many officials influenced by money. allways been this way.need to get familly values back. we need to be closer to each other like in the 40s and 50s . no more wars. no more violence. we need public punishments. public awairness.neiborhood watch and respect.as a country we dont respect people like we used to .we are not as friendly. we are loosing this battle for self contained . i mean ,we buy from out of town instead of our own town, we can take this thing back. we can start making everthing here in this country again. now . i travel through flagstaff allmost every week. i see railroad cars carrying metal containers with forein labels on them stacked 2 high. comming from china and india and indonisea. makes me sick.tell me how we can bring this back to this country for good.we will be a stronger nation when we build it all here. get rid of unions.send illegals back. get the lazy people off welfair and food stamps . give every one a job and a house. all kids get good health plans.
American Born - obviously, you haven’t been paying attention. Robin Williams did not write this. Your rant is full of anger but not full of facts. It makes no sense to get all nostalgic about ‘the good old days’ when there never was such a thing. Only 150 years ago, this country fought a war with ITSELF. Close to each other like the 40’s and 50’s? You mean racially segregated? That’s not my idea of ‘close’. Did you know that when JFK was elected people were freaking out because he was Catholic? Yeah, even rich white Irish-American Christians were discriminated against. Weird, huh?
I sense that you want to make things right, but in the meantime you have to do some research.
