If at first you don't succeed, hammer people over the head until they comply. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

This gives more meaning to Obamah's blooper about "57" States Quoting: AC 898373So we have the 50 +... 51 - Puerto Rico 52 - US Virgin Islands 53 - Guam (if it doesn't capsize first) 54 - District of Columbia (that'll make a very fine us state) 55 - Samoa 56 - Mariana Islands But I still can't think of that #57 could be. I want to give Obami the benefit of the doubt though. Maybe he was thinking KENYA could be #57 and then he'd be a 'Born in the USA' citizen! 'When Plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.' Frederic Bastiat, 'The Law' 1850 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes." JohnSwinton, 1830-1901, Former chief-of-staff New York Times ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "The bold effort the present bank has made to control the Government, the distress it has wantonly produced ... are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American People should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution (The Bank of the United States), or the establishment of another like it." Andrew Jackson (December 2, 1834) |

User ID: 954538 United States 04/27/2010 05:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.examiner.com] Quoting: wisdomknightQuietly sailing through the House this week is yet another piece of partisan stealth legislation aimed at manufacturing more Democrat power at the expense of the American people, the economy and the country. This time, it's the Puerto Rico Democracy Act (H.R. 2499). It would force Puerto Rico to vote on U.S. statehood and is designed to stack the deck in favor of statehood, going even as far as to require the territory to vote every eight years until statehood is accepted. Not only is Puerto Rico already a fully-functioning democracy, but it has also repeatedly rejected attempts to turn it into a U.S. state, for decades. But still, desperate to create new Democrat voters and elected officials, the left is now aggressively setting the stage for the creation of a 51st state. Due to its dense population of poverty-stricken minorities, Puerto Rico can be counted on to vote overwhelmingly for Democrats and all their handouts, and their representation will also consequently outnumber that of 25 other existing U.S. states. Meanwhile, with Puerto Ricans having an average income of less than half that of our poorest state, they will instantly become eligible for dozens of our welfare programs. Truckloads of taxpayer dollars will also have to be perpetually dumped into the territory, by federal law, to bring it up to American infrastructure and environmental standards. This will also force the U.S. to become a bi-lingual country overnight, which will produce a whole new set of problems. The facts are WRONG! OP? Do you kNot verify FACTS before placing such rubbage on GLP? It's ONE thing to talk crap but to stoop this low, is retarded.

They don't want to be part of an evil empire. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 907535More like they don't want to lose commonwealth status and have to pay taxes! who do you think control ports? The tax is already IN EVERYTHING we buy ,the cost triple of what you can buy in the states. |

To run for President you have to live in a STATE that is recognized as such or the District Of Columbia. Now you can be Puerto Rican, live in New York, and run but you can't live in Puerto Rico and run. You people really are dumb!
