Throughout my lifetime the Statue of Liberty has always meant , but of course , Welcome to a new land of Life, Love and Liberty as the big lady Illuminated the way to a new home for the people of all nations. I look at the old lady now , after everything has changed and I come to the realization that "rust never sleeps"

Well I am a very active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka Mormons) and this is the first I have ever heard of anything about the windows on the Statue of Liberty. So I can safely say that there is no significance about the windows to the church as a whole, if there were I would have heard about it. However I cannot speak for individual members like Glenn Beck.

The Statue of Liberty is one of the most recognizable icons of the U.S. worldwide and, in a more general sense, represents liberty and escape from oppression.The Statue of Liberty was, from 1886 until the jet age, often the first glimpse of the United States for millions of immigrants after ocean voyages from Europe. In terms of visual impact, the Statue of Liberty appears to draw inspiration from r the Colossus of Rhodes. Statue of Liberty (Statue de la Liberté), is a statue given to the United States by the Paris based Union Franco-Americaine (Franco-American Union) in 1885, standing at Liberty Island in the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans. The copper statue, dedicated on October 28, 1886, commemorates the centennial of the United States and is a gesture of friendship between the two nations. The sculptor was Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, the designer of the Eiffel Tower, engineered the internal structure. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the Repoussé technique.

~Gee, it might be considered American by virtue of the fact that it squats in New York harbor berween New York and New Jersey, reputedly American territories. Given the name "Statue of Liberty" I would hazard a guess that it is intended to represent repression of the masses, despotism, oppression and things of that ilk. Duh.

It was a gift from France. It represents freedom, all that makes America great. Not that we have 100% freedom anyways...
