Your wish is our wish. Get them off the federal tit and out of our back pockets.
“City Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz, also a Democrat, has said that Mark-Viverito told her that she does not stand because she wants Puerto Rico to be granted independence.”
Sounds good to me! We have enough illegals already.
Mark-Viverito supports radical measures for advancing Puerto Rico’s cause. Earlier this year she delivered the eulogy for the convicted terrorist Isabel Rosado Morales, calling her an “icon.”...
It gets a lot worse from there. The paragraphs after are stunning.
Hey, puerto ricans, mexicans, blacks, and the 50 percent of white kids under 30 who would live somewhere else if they could...get the ######## OUT!!!!!!
How ‘bout that! Another America-hating scumbag foreigner in the American government. Had enough yet?
I believe Mr. Diaz pretty much said it all. But it might be worth cutting Puerto Rico loose if she will go back. And if she will take Luis Gutierrez with her.
The headline is sensational BS pandering. From the article.
Allegiance to the United States.
New York City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, who was born and raised in Puerto Rico and endorsed Clinton on Wednesday, is known for her decision not to stand up during the Pledge of Allegiance as a protest of her home territory’s current status.
The fetishization of the Pledge of Allegiance should stop.
The Declaration of Independence lists the right of secession as one of our natural rights. It lists among the “self-evident truths” that we have a natural right to overthrow abusive government.
The Pledge denies this proposition in the Declaration, calling the United States “indivisible.”
The only way the Pledge could be correct is if the United States Government were metaphysically incapable of being abusive.
This dog-ugly piece of libtard trash ALWAYS comes out on the side of Porko Rico specifically and Hispanics in general when talking about “someone should be entitled to something”. Something she doesn’t pay for. It’s extremely difficult to ascertain whether she represents people from NYC or the people of Porko Rico, since she is such a vocal advocate for anything benefiting Porko Rico.
