  1. Had liberty in PR back in the seventies. Hated it. Rude people, boring and mosquitoes the size of parrots. If they’re as corrupt as I’ve heard they can keep the damned place.

  2. Making assumptions can easily make someone and ass. Just like not all mainlanders are bad, not all of us Puerto Ricans are either.

    I have been living in the mainland since the early 90’s. I am both a proud Boricua and also a proud American. Have loved the Founding Fathers since I was a kid and truly believe that there are only three God inspired documents… the Bible, the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.

    I proudly follow all three. A US flag proudly flies on my porch and I keep praying that the Dems don’t finally destroy our country.

  3. Etndwus… there may not be many but I’m willing to bet more than you would think. I’m doing my part to pass it on to my kids. Both when little grew going to sleep listening to Rush Revere.

    I lived in one of those mid-western college towns and the number of lefty gringo assholes is staggering. Here I’m truly a minority!
