Title: Time to free Puerto Rico as it asks for relief of $72 Billion in debt from US Taxpayers

If it was not for fear of Puerto Rico becoming another Soviet ally like Cuba, the USA would have freed that island long ago. Now we are stuck with a welfare island whose welfare taking citizens can just come to the USA with an American passport. But because of Hispanic politics and maybe lingering love of empire from the Military Industrial Complex, no American politician dares promise to free Puerto Rico. What would Puerto Rico do? Refuse to leave being a colony? That would be a first. At least under the old system Cold War, Puerto Rico made money for American businesses as a plantation island and as a steam ship era naval base.

Dimwitted LaRoucher,

Puerto Rico regularly votes on it's status. The last vote was in 2012 when just 5.49% of Puerto Ricans voted for independence.

You need to stop your crazy, ant-America LaRoucher bullshit.

Because a lazy Greek LaRoucher says we should?

What is a LaRoucher and why do you want PRs in America as a colony? So your taxes can pay for their welfare?

What is a LaRoucher...

I'm not sure of the relevance of the accusation. I don't recall any posts you made that sounded like a LaRouche cult member. Back at LP, we did have a few threads/posts by an apparent LaRouche type.

The last I recall of a LaRouche candidate was Kesha Rogers in Texas. Another LaRouchie Dem was on the ballot for Thad McCotter's seat.

Wiki: Lyndon LaRouche

He quotes a guy (David Goldman) who was a Laroucher for 19 years.

Pericles has claimed he "conservative" and Goldman claims that he was a member of the Reagan administration (even though he didn't leave the LaRouche organization until 1988). Goldman also has a history of trashing Reagan and other conservatives, for example here .

Both Pericles and Goldmand are lunatics.

Where did Pericles or his article excerpt quote this Goldman character? I didn't see it and don't find the name in the LAT article either.

Pericles quotes David Goldman -- a high ranking member of the LaRouche organization for 19 years

Look at post #21. As explained in post #35, Goldman was an LaRouche ally for 19 years and didn't leave the organization until 1988.

So using cranko's faulty logic, Reagan continued being a New Deal Democrat long after he claimed he left the Democrat party.

Uh, no -- that's YOU still mired in a long standing addiction of creating your own il-logical, fallacious (Leftist-speak) conclusions.
