Puerto Rico's independence movement has a long association terrorism.

"Puerto Rico's independence movement has a long association terrorism."

Didn't Clinton pardon some of them?

[hershey]

Let's see...It's okay to blow up buildings and kill people if you're for PR independence, but not if you're an Islamosfascist.

[GAB-1955]

Yes, he pardoned some who were involved in the attack on Congress in the 1950s. I don't know if he or Carter pardoned the persons involved in the Blair House shootout.

Unfortunately, Cuba and now Venezuela want to sponsor the Puerto Rican independence movement to be a running ulcer in the side of the U.S.

Didn't Clinton pardon some of them?

He didn't set the precedent. Two Puerto Rican nationalists tried to assassinate Harry Truman in 1950. The one that survived the gunfight was pardoned by Jimmy Carter in 1979.

See my #6.

[hershey]

Gee, didn't Clinton pardon some PR killers?

[hershey]

Jimmy Carter. Just when you think he can't be dumber and more dangerous, he proves you wrong.

"From the governor of the island to lawyers to journalists,..."

Always the same "outraged" types.

[Southack]

"Although residents of Puerto Rico, a former Spanish colony, are American citizens, they cannot vote for president, ... and pay no federal taxes."

Ahhh, now I see why they are so upset. In the Land of the Left, not paying federal taxes is a bad thing...

[edcoil]

60% of PR however does receive welfare checks from you and me.

[Southack]

We only kept them around for our naval bombing range...and with it gone, they can go, too.

[ncountylee]

Puerto Rico would make a good penal colony.

[ParadigmLost]

OK, I read the article.

My question, that wasn't answered is, "Did they find anything?".

All the reporter does is whine about how the FBI mistreated them when they tried to cross a police line to see inside.

The article never talks about if the searchees were actually bad people or not.

Just finished it last week.

[Solson]

As long as we don't publish any cartoons, I think we'll be okay. Just whatever we do, let's not offend them or God help us all.

[GAB-1955]

You mean people who want to be associated with America should be either be treated badly or kicked out? What sort of logic is that?

[Southack]

No. I'm simply saying that if Puerto Rico wants independence, they can have it.

It just means fewer welfare checks to be mailed.
