Thank you for your kind words, Padre.
Excellent Freeper site, c11, and the pictures are breathtaking. Puerto Rico is the picture of beauty, a leader in earth’s garden spots. Truly God smiled when He’d finished painting Puerto Rico.
As I recall, some US senator realized that a territory of the US could not just be “held”. He realized that that would be covert slavery.
If I “owned” Ohio wouldn’t that raise eyebrows? The same with Puerto Rico. They are a US territory and they have determined they want to push for statehood. We don’t keep slaves, and we don’t cut off our own. It’s that simple.
