Puerto Rico, Estado Numero Cincuenta Uno, Segunda Parte
Like that title? I am just practicing, trying to remember my Espanol.
So, Following up on Yesterday’s Post, Puerto Rico – A New State full of Potential Progressive Voters, the House voted In Favor, including 50 of our closest allies (Distance is relative, remember, Mars is the next closest planet to earth but still a long long… long way from us) the Republicans, to ‘reaffirm’ Puerto Rico’s right to self determination. A right they have had for six decades now. Let me be clear® I am not against Puerto Rico becoming a State, not if that is really what the People IN –IN-Puerto Rico want. Heck, it looks like it would be just an abs-o-lutely fantastic place to visit: The article below is actually from a LeftStreamMedia Source and it almost tells the whole story, of course without any outrage over the bills most ridiculous affront to common sense and ethics to come out of Washington, well in at least the last 24 hours:
Bitter debate ensues as House approves bill that could move Puerto Rico to statehood
The House on Thursday approved a bill that could move Puerto Rico to statehood - exposing a rare and bitter rift between New York members from the island territory.
Bronx Democratic Rep. Jose Serrano ( THIS GUY is one of the worst, he is the one that always pushes the bill to remove presidential term limits) backed the measure, calling it a vital step to ending colonial rule, even as his usual ally, Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-Brooklyn) blasted it as a "disgrace," "shameful" and "appalling." (thank you for that, Nydia)
The measure offers Puerto Rico - a U.S. territory for 112 years - a two-step vote.
The first would ask whether Puerto Ricans -
including those living in the States - like the current territorial commonwealth status or if they want change.
If the vote is for change, a second vote would ask what change they want.
"For the first time in 112 years, the Congress of the United States will ask the 4 million American citizens (A huge Liberal Voting Bloc) in Puerto Rico what they wish their relationship to the United States to be," said Serrano.
Velazquez and Harlem Rep. Charlie Rangel, whose father was Puerto Rican, said the measure was a backdoor move to a statehood vote on the island that has failed three times in the past. –OH MY GOD, Charlie Rangel said something bordering on common sensical… I expect to see unicorns any moment now…
"It is baffling that the statehood option, which lost in 1967, in 1993 and again in 1998, is now allowed to scheme its way to victory," Velazquez said.
Before the debate, the bill had offered three options for change: statehood, independence or an independent "free association" like three other former U.S. territories.
Velazquez argued that if keeping the current status was no longer on the ballot, statehood - always the second choice in the past - would win by default.
She favors a Puerto Rican constitutional convention.
Velazquez managed to win an amendment to add keeping the status quo to the choices.
"We restored some fairness to a badly flawed process," she said.
Still, Serrano was so pleased he wielded the final gavel, hammering it down with a wide smile.

String of eco-terrorist acts?


Women to Start Serving on Submarines.
FOXNews.com - Women to Start Serving on Submarines, but Not Everyone's On Board
Read the whole article here. I am not a misogynist, or a bigoted sexist. Women can and do perform 99% of all jobs in the world as well as men, and the opposite is true as well. But I feel this is a severely ill conceived, bad, idea, below are some excerpts from the article.
Another exclusive "men's club" is about to go coed: The U.S. Navy will soon allow women to serve on submarines…
Quotas and basically Affirmative action, which I am always against.
…But now, with the introduction of its new Trident guided missile submarines -- subs as large as the defensive ballistic missile submarines but outfitted to carry out offensive missions -- the Navy says it finally will be able to offer women both privacy and a viable career path. (-because the Navy is here for you, not the other way around)
85 Mk VII Mod 0 Torpedoes …Check
5000 rounds ammo ball type .30 Ca….check
128 MkII Mod 3 Life Preserver Orange….check
3 Officer, Junior Grade, Female…check
Just one more piece of standard equipment. “Well captain we have almost all of the staff figured out, but we still need to fill the ship’s standard complement of women” And once those three are on board, If I were a woman I think I would always wonder ‘am I here because I was good, or because they needed three females per boat?’
Because a junior officer's room was designed to bunk three people, the Navy plans to admit three women -- two junior officers and a senior officer -- onto each of its eight Trident submarine crews by January 2012.
They will have to share a bathroom with nine men, but the Navy says the crew will use a simple reversible sign to indicate who is using the facilities, enabling both sexes to get the privacy they demand. No modifications required.
…The Navy hopes the penalties for "fraternizing" -- ranging from fines to dismissal and two years' confinement – will ease some of those concerns.
…One issue [the navy] is dealing with is whether the policy will carry over to the enlisted ranks, where more than 80 sailors, some as young as 17, sleep nine to a room and share two bathrooms.
"To bring women enlisted on board we'd actually have to make modifications to the ship," he said. "I can't tell you exactly what they would be, because although we're beginning to look at this, we really haven't gone far enough down the road to determine which submarines we're going to put them on and how we're going to make sure they have privacy."
The Navy says it isn't having a problem meeting its recruitment goals for enlisted sailors, so it has time to explore the issue. And it sees no better starting point than admitting female officers…
It is just simply not a smart idea. Who does it really benefit? 24 women in the entire Navy? Does it really increase the Navy’s capacity? I smell a rat, there is a politician at the bottom of this somewhere.
Ladies, I love you, and I value your contributions, and I am prepared to be yelled at for this… So go ahead

Puerto Rico – A New State full of Potential Progressive Voters
Ok, here is the quick and dirty History of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico lies nestled right between Haiti/Dominican Republic and the British Virgin Islands. It is in the same island chain as Cuba. To get it in your mind right, Cuba is closest, then then Haiti/Dominican and then Puerto Rico.
Christopher Columbus landed on the island, which was inhabited by Amerindian Natives, in 1493 on his second voyage and claimed it for Spain. Spain had it as a colony until the Spanish American war, in 1898 the United States invaded. The US got Puerto Rico, Guam, Cuba, the Philippines in the Treaty of Paris. They began their relationship with the US as a territory governed my Martial Law, two years later moved to mostly self governed using systems virtually identical to a State’s, In 1917 all the inhabitants became citizens of the US, they began having popular elections of representatives and gained a US style Judicial system, Under Truman they got a regularly elected governor and other trappings of statehood including non voting representatives in DC, this had the effect of changing its’ status from Territory to Commonwealth or “Free Associated State”. All of this was paving the way for a vote for statehood, currently three different plebiscites or votes have been taken by the people and all three have failed to win enough votes to make Puerto Rico our 51st state.
Why?
Well it probably has a lot to do with getting something for nothing. To put it another way, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free? They have all of the benefits of statehood, with fewer taxes.
Enter The Zero Regime…
There is a bill up for vote today to support Puerto Rico’s right to self determination. This is on the face of it, nonsense. Puerto Rico already has that right and has expressed itself three times to remain as it is. BUT, just like Yesterday’s post on Amnesty and Illegal Immigration, granting Puerto Rico Statehood would win many many Liberal Progressive voters.
You doubt it?
The UN is heavily involved in the push for a change in Puerto Rico’s status. From 1952 to 2007, Puerto Rico had three political parties which stood for three distinct future political scenarios. The Popular Democratic Party (PPD) seeks to maintain the island's "association" status as a commonwealth, and has won in referendums on the island's status held over six decades since coming under U.S. control. The New Progressive Party (PNP) (catchy isn’t it?) seeks statehood. The Puerto Rican Independence Party seeks independence.
The real clincher on this one is this: apparently in the bills that will follow this “nonbinding” vote today is a provision to allow people born in Puerto Rico but currently living in the continental US to vote on Puerto Rico’s status. Read it again, a US citizen, born in Puerto Rico but currently living in, say, Illinois, will be able to vote in the self determination vote for Puerto Rico.
According to the latest estimates 70% of Puerto Ricans cannot speak English passably, and many many of the recent immigrants TO Puerto Rico have been from Central America including Venezuela and Colombia and also from Cuba.
Now ask yourself, in a Liberal House and Senate do you think, for an instant that if Nasty Pelotox and Dingy Harry and Chairman Zero thought that the people of Puerto Rico would:
a) Vote for statehood on their own without stacking the deck and;
b) vote in any way Conservative Republican or Libertarian after gaining statehood
They would a) stack the deck and b) want there to be a vote?
So here is what I think they are up to regarding Puerto Rico, it all seems to make some sense, They have this vote to affirm Puerto Rico’s right to Self Determination. Puerto Rico already has a constitution, a popularly elected government, follows all federal regulations, and its’ populace are all citizens.
The Current Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and Governor are all members of this “New Progressive Party” (although actually claim to align themselves with Republicans, lending more credence to the crazy notion that Parties really do not matter), once this sham vote takes place in congress, they will call another referendum, although this time allow anyone born in Puerto Rico no matter where they reside (or actually probably no matter if they were born in Puerto Rico or not) to vote. Then, because there are already delegates in Congress, they will immediately ask to be seated and BLAMMO we have a 51st state. Then these so called republicans will decide they will caucus with the Liberals and Bingo, we are back to a filibuster proof super majority.
Heck- they might just do it without resorting to a vote. Congress votes in a nonbinding agreement that Puerto Rico has the right to self determination, and bang the delegates are seated as senators and representatives. Sew another star on the flag boys and girls…
So take Amnesty for Illegals, throw in Puerto Rico, and what do you have…the re-election of the most rapidly unpopular president in history to a second term.
Puerto Rico: One Step Closer to 57. next up, Guam, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands …no really…click the link.
There is a bill pending Senate approval in the United States Congress that would authorize the United States Secretary of the Interior to extend technical assistance grants and other assistance to facilitate a political status public education program in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa
ISNT THAT NICE?

Obama-drama files: senate seat coming back to haunt him?
According to AP, new questions are being raised about how much obama knew about the drama that swirled around Obama's vacated senate seat. Since so much "drama" follows obama on everything at all times, I am going to start a new series of posts called the obama-drama files while will follow the drama surrounding the pResidents wrong, bad, lack of or just plain stupid decisions and the drama they cause both him, his staff and the country. The question about how much Obama knew about Blago and his choice (and whether Obama had a favorite choice) would not be an issue on it's own, but obama testified (on the Bible which means nothing to obama)but means a whole bunch to the Justice Department. If the AP reports are true, fallen IL gov. Blago (D) intends to call obama as a witness to prove his case regarding the senate seat for sale scandal. If Blago is correct, then obama lied under oath about what was said to Tony Rezco. If Blago can prove it, obama may be in a whole world of trouble. Now a bigtime Chicago union thug is claiming Obama's pals offered up large sums of money to buy the seat for Valerie Jarett. Hmm... Back before I started blogging here, I predicted jokingly that the blago scandal would come back to haunt obama in the second year of his Presidency. Now that looks not only viable but maybe even likely. Especially if (what I believe to be true) Blago is hellbent on destroying obama out of revenge for obama's actions while crawling up the greasy stripper pole that is Chicago politics.

History Channel's "The Story of Us" and Irony

I watched the first episode of this great documentary series on the history channel tonight. It covered events leading up to the revolutionary war and it dovetails nicely with a couple of books I recently read. I find it very ironic that an otherwise entertaining and excellent series covering information that should be required material for every citizen of this country was introduced/prefaced by a man that apparently has little understanding of, or reverence for, the material itself. The series was introduced by none other than his one-ness, The pResident, chairman zero.
Secondly, does anyone else find it odd that a sitting president is endorsing a History channel documentary like Marlin Perkins hawking Mutual of Omaha insurance? What is next, selling an energy drink or some sportswear?
Maybe he should watch it instead of reading a TelePrompTer script of what one of his handlers thought a true blue USA loving American would say... You know what a good President would have actually felt and thought...

A LETTER FROM A PROCTER AND GAMBLE EXECUTIVE TO
THE PRESIDENT*
Lou Pritchett is one of corporate America's true living legends- an
acclaimed author, dynamic teacher and one of the world's highest
rated speakers. Successful corporate executives everywhere recognize
him as the foremost leader in change management.. Lou changed the way
America does business by creating an audacious concept that came to
be known as "partnering." Pritchett rose from soap salesman to
Vice-President, Sales and Customer Development for Procter and
Gamble and over the course of 36 years, made corporate history.
PRESIDENT OBAMA
Dear President Obama:
You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike
any of the others, you truly scare me.
You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.
You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive
Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no
visible signs of support.
You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth
growing up in America and culturally you are not an American.
You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.
You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus
don't understand it at its core.
You scare me because you lack humility and 'class', always blaming others.
You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned
yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to
publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail..
You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the 'blame America '
crowd and deliver this message abroad.
You scare me because you want to change America to a European style
country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.
You scare me because you want to replace our health care system
with a government controlled one.
You scare me because you prefer 'wind mills' to responsibly
capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.
You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose
that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of
living in the world.
You scare me because you have begun to use 'extortion' tactics
against certain banks and corporations.
You scare me because your own political party shrinks from
challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.
You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider
opposing points of view from intelligent people.
You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both
omnipotent and omniscient.
You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything
you do.
You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the
Limbaugh's, Hannitys, O'Reillys and Becks who offer opposing,
conservative points of view.
You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.
Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will
probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Andy Stern to Resign as SEIU Head
Via and with a big H/T to: Reaganite Republican I don’t visit the Reaganite often enough. Was perusing this morning and caught this:
The disturbingly influential head of the Purple People Beaters is planning to step-down (in 2012), according to Politico- this of course comes as a surprise, right at the peak for this power-hungry rabble-rouser . Strange it is... so what's he up to?- best to keep an eye on this one
Reaganite Republican: Andy Stern to Resign as SEIU Head
Left this as a comment, and it sums up my opinion.
It is not likely that Stern is going to be given a MORE high profile position. The reason he is probably moving/changing is because he has been shown to be too HIGH profile already. These people do their work in the weeds under the cover of darkness, A la Van Jones. They cannot stand the sunlight. He has been caught out in the sun and widely reported as being the most frequent visitor to Chairman Zero's throne room. He is just going to go back underground. He may be moved to a liberal policy think thank, or may be called back to the mother ship at the Soros Foundation, or create a new evil organization. That is what they do. Old Hippie Rabble Rousers never die they just create new organizations and rebrand themselves. That is what they have done since the sixties.

Shortage of lifeboats on Guam?????
To his credit, Admiral Willard chose not to educate and embarrass the congressman. Instead, Willard dryly asserted, "We don't anticipate that." But you can see in the video that the Admiral is fighting back a smile, but he soldiers (sailors?) on, explaining to the congressman that the current population of Guam (estimated at 175,000) would only attain 200,000 with the increase in American troops. accompany the influx of an addition 8,000 American troops on the island of Guam. .
