Chavez is only admired and welcomed in retrograde, anacronistic functions and nations. PR is for progress, not regression into Marxist-Leninism.....I don't blame'em!
Leo and Hugo will still meet on the DL.
Soul mates afterall....The proletariat compadres at heart.

P.S.
Quisqueya and Boriquen have common values, culture, traditions, that Venezuela doesn't share with PR. The Mona Passage is only 100 miles wide; Compared to hundreds of miles accross the Caribbean Sea. See? Not to mention the Taino heritage?
Chinas (naranjas), Guineos, Guandules, Mabi, etc........

Hugo's not invited, Hugo's not invited !!!!! Blah Blah blah.

I just wonder if oil prices were up again to US$150 a barrel if they would have invited him.
I mean I don't like him either, but at one time when things were rough he was looking better and
better all the time to some vende patrias.
You guys should enjoy this!

Lembert, Venezuela has something that PR doesn't .....
Liberty

yeah! PR has a lot of nice things but don't compare Latin American countries.........
we all can not be the same, and I know Puerto Ricans that can not return to the island do to all the crime. National Guard in the projects armed to the teeth... And you want to talk trash....
Let Venezuela be!!!!

Juan Carlos put Chavez in his place to every ones delight...good for him

Why is LF going?

Isn't the Innauguration of a territorial Governor beneath the office?

I don't know anthony, isn't the opinion of an idiot beneath a response?

PR is for progress!! JAJAJAJa Pendejo Lambon igual que LF, dont you have to be free for progress to take place.

People who lived in the expropriated areas were told to either accept the price offered for their land or prepare to be forcefully evicted. In this way, the Navy took over 75 per cent of the island, including some of the most arable land. Almost the entire eastern half of the island, now dubbed "Camp Garcia," was turned into a firing range for the U.S. military. On the western end of Vieques, the Navy set up an ammunition facility. What remained to the residents was a quarter of the island's land area, squeezed between the two military zones.

Read the article here http://www.the-spark.net/np656405.html

The continuous bombing of Vieques for six decades has had all the harmful effects that one would expect from such a practice. The land, sea and air are contaminated with highly toxic chemicals. Studies have shown an unusually high rate of cancer and a rare heart ailment called vibroacoustic disease, which is linked to high levels of noise, among the island's 9400 residents. In May, 1999, after information about the use of depleted uranium on Vieques became public, the Navy admitted firing 273 depleted uranium projectiles at the Vieques test site in 1998, during training for the bombing of Yugoslavia.

Well Devin you did reply!

Except for a few 'Rican left wing College students nobody in the USA cares about PR.......Until they read about how much money in our Tax dollars are being sucked up by over 50% of that Island,

Statehood would be an economic disaster for the Island.
Independence would just creat another failed nation.

If they were smart they would just keep quiet and continue to fly under the radar and suck up more money from the Federal Teet!

Chavez is the democratic elected president of Venezuela and should be respected as such... he has wild ideas but they're not without justification...

The governor of PR serves as speudo-president for the island so it isn't beneath the level of other presidents to attend

and please... enough about vieques!!!

Anthony,
Did you see the Democratic party candidates spend countless campaign time in PR trying to secure those all important delegate votes? Do you think they care about PR? Do you think your summations on any topic are taken seriously by any literate person? After all you are the same person who stated that New York is heavily subsidized by the federal government when in fact New York contributes far more to the federal government than it ever takes back in grants or subsidies. You also "proudly" stated that your parents left Cuba via Eastern Airlines, first class, remember that lie? For the record Eastern Airlines flew out of Cuba to Tampa and Miami only, on twin prop Silver Falcon planes that had no "first class" cabins. Stop making it so easy to debunk your rhetoric, you are boring us.

I have a lot of respect for the Puerto Rican people, but the recent election of Fortu~no is a very backward step. He got elected because people where fed up with Mr. Vila and he is under inditment by Georgie's "non-political justice department."

Fortu~no is a right wing republican supported by the Miami, and San Juan Cuban mafia who are the people who have been setting the political agenda in Puerto Rico since 1968.

However, the Miami and Florida Cuban Mafia in general were slicker than the Puerto Ricans they saw the handwriting on the wall and got on the Obama bus. Puerto Ricans in their simbolic primary in June vote overwhemingly for Hillary. Now they compounded their mistake by electing a governor that's a republicanito. They will suffer the cold shoulder of Washignton for the next four years, especially with limited federal resources, Obama like any other leader will reward his friends first.

Continued:

The little republicanito Cuban Mafia puppet governor may come to regret not having invited Chavez.

Independence is the only way for these noble and courageous people to go!

Josean,
Do you discount that the Puerto Rican vote in central Florida is what won the state for Obama and not the south Florida Cuban vote. Obama won the Hispanic vote in Florida but not the Cuban vote. It was the influx of Puerto Ricans moving to Florida in the last calender year that made the difference.

Devin,

Back in the day All AIRLINES seats were 1st class.

Devin,

Those PR's who moved to Florida are Mostly transplants from NYC.
Who cares if they Voted for Obama? They also voted for Carter. And we all know how well that ended.

Anthony,
Good comeback, I'm sure that's what you meant. If all seats were first class then why did you feel the need to mention it. Sir, I make a living catching people in lies, five days a week 8+ hours a day. Again, stop making it so easy.

D,

I have not studied the results of the actual break down of the Florida vote, although I have heard that the Puerto Rican votes were significant in those areas during this election cycle.

If you have any links to that information I would greatly appreciated. It would be a marvelous thing if Puerto Ricans and Dominicans can keep the Batistianos in check!

I am reminded of a joke told to me in the 60's. Two cubans are out for a walk in the park with their dogs. They meet and sit down on a bench to talk. One dog asks the other, "And what were you before the revolution?"

Anthony,
More than 125,000 Puerto Ricans moved from Puerto Rico to Florida since the last national election. Again, please, stop making it so easy to debunk your farcical facts.

Is anyone surprised that he is not invited? Is this really newswothy? Chavez is against everything the United States stands for, freedom of expression, human rights, liberty, justice etc etc. He is obsessed with provoking a fight with the US. He invites terrorist organinzations to his country, facilitating their access and ability to commit acts of terrorism. What a bafoon!

Keep bashing Cubans.

Just proves your jealousy!!!

I have a great affinity to the Cuban culture and their people, except for you anthony. You were the one who originated the insulting dialogue with your first post and then you have the nerve to complain about people bashing Cubans. In fact that is all you ever do, which is to cast insulting and duplicitous statements. You are the one who previously stated that Dominicans have never made any cultural or other type contributions in the United States. You are the one who mocked the addition of Dominican electronic signature e-business. So what if the technology is dated, it will still benefit Dominican commerce and all you could muster was your patent mocking gestures. Maybe the posters wrongly think that all Cubans are like you and that's why they are bashing Cubans, honest mistake.

P.S. Nobody is, or ever will be jealous of you anthony, nobody!!

anthony c,

"Keep bashing Cubans" Pooo WHOO WHOO ;(

Is "little anthony'' minus the imperials crying?

To paraphrase Tom Hanks: There is no crying in posting!

I wonder if the dominican government will continue to kiss chavez's ass after the DR discovers oil north of Puerto Plata next year...err, I mean, IF DR discovers oil.

Listen the Point is he is not invited. No need to dog fight over a news article. I would like to send my congrats to the Puerto Rican people. I hope with the new governor they can keep on prospering and progressing.

Flash !!!!!!!!!!!!! Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Before going to Puerto Rico to waste time and the Dominican peoples money, Dominican Presidente will advise Obama on how to cope with blackouts"

"Lie-onel Fernabdez a world renowned expert on keeping people in the dark will assist Obama with coping without electricity!"

http://www.starbulletin.com/news/breaking/36774189.html

Chavez is a great "Democratic Socialist" leader, but sometimes he says dumb things and ends up making a fool of himself. I really like the guy although I don't agree with some of his ideas. I really hope now that Bush will be out of office he stops bashing the US so we can improve relations with Venezuela.

AnthonyC, we love you. Your so entertaining.

Puerto Rico la isla encanta......Statehood or Independence ....there is nothing in between

This may explain why Chavez wouldn't be invited. It appears Puerto Rico would need the approval from the US. "subject to United States congressional authority "

Eccuse the 'Wiki" but it was the best simple explanation I could finr

Despite the Spanish translation of the term "commonwealth", Puerto Rico's relationship with United States is not a Compact of Free Association (which is the case for the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands). As sovereign states, these islands have full right to conduct their own foreign relations, while the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has territorial status subject to United States congressional authority under the Constitution's Territory Clause, “to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory… belonging to the United States.” [

That's:

"Puerto Rico La Isla Del Encanto"

As Don Pedro would say: "A llegado la hora de la suprema definicion o Yankees o Puertorrique~nos!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Albizu_Campos

The reason why Chavez isn't invited is because Puerto RIco doesn't make the decisions,. Puerto Rico is part of the United States and Chavez has problems with the U.S. WHat uncle sam says goes.

Who cares about a stupid governor anyway.

"Who cares about a stupid governor anyway."

The little republicanito is playing to his right wing Cuban and Venezuelan Miami mafia base, that's all.

Thank you ambioriv!

Chill:
Let me reiterate my previous opinions; PR n DR have a common history...PR was settled by the same natives; If I'm not mistaken, Ponce de Leon sailed from to DR govern PR, etc. In the 18 n 19 Centuries, hundreds of PR's emigrated to DR, to work and live, many stayed; They were called "paisas", and were prominent in the eastern part of DR: Romana, San Pedro, Higuey....
My point is this Chavez is a dictator with Socialist jargon; yet, still a tyrant. Who needs to hob-nob with proponents of philophies that have proven to be idealist? And only work to the detriment of the greater good. Once you give everyone something for nothing, there's no motivation to excel. Also, can you rob Peter to pay Paul?

And though you're not here with me now
My love for you stays the same

I only have eyes for you
Believe me what I say is true
You know it's true now) You know
my heart belongs to you
And only you and you can't be replaced.

Many of the Cubans that flee Cuba are just as opinionated and closed minded as Fidel; To me they're mostly the same people; But, I have met some that are outstanding human beings, but the majority of them suffer from a superiority complex that hides a deep seated inferiority "juagiro alzado" complex...They were all rich in Siboney; Ya tu sabe comiendo gofio a to lo que da.
But, yes right yes, left no...I believe in freedom, and liberty.

If I wanted drive-thru psychobabble I will watch Doctor Phil.

The truth is that Castro (like his under-study Chavez) is a tyrant, a dictator, a puppet of the Capitalists playing the good cop bad cop game on the poor helpless ignorant masses within, an without the island.
Speaking of truth and psycho-babble what deep seated need motives you to rummage around a Dominican issues venue? Give me your best rationale in Freudian vernacular, Mein Herr!

Another slap in the face to Lie-onel's new republicanito friend:

http://www.elnuevodia.com/diario/....cias/por_la_via_neoliberal/510782

The US should grant Puerto Rico independance under certain stipulations.

#1 Puerto Rico shall recieve no more AID from the US than what they are getting now.

#2 All Puerto Ricans born on the Island loose their US citizenship no matter where they are living today. Those living in the US have 90 days to either return to Puerto Rico or obtain a valid US visa.

#3 Without the huge corporate tax breaks and no Federal Income tax Puerto Ricans will have to accept the fact that their economy will spiral into the worst in the Western Hemisphere and have to fight with Haiti forU.N. aid.

#4 Puerto Ricans will also have to accept the fact that even Dominicans will make fun of them.

The US should overthrow the Cuban revolution under certain stipulations.

#1 Cubans in Miami recieve no more AID from the US.

#2 All Cubans born on the Island loose their US citizenship no matter where they are living today. Those living in the US have 90 days to either return to Cuba or obtain a valid US visa.

#3 The Cuban American Foundation and Radio Marti will have to return all the money the ripped off the American Taxpayer.

#4 Cubans staying in Miami will replace Hatian cab drivers.

Since PR is technically a commonwealth of the U.S. and therefore part of the U.S. and Fortuno, if I recall correctly, a pro-statehood politician, it makes sense that he wouldn’t invite Chavez to the Island and go against current U.S. politics. I’m not sure that inviting Chavez to an inauguration would be considered a “negotiation with foreign countries” mentioned by a previous poster but it would not be the wisest political move for good relations with the U.S. government. As far as all the comments from time2rize and especially ArsenioALembertJr: “ *** I grew up in NYC where I dealt with Boricuas, so I feel their pain. They deserve to be free. Yet the majority of their brethren have chosen Commonwealth for over 50 years. What's a bro to do? Shoot up the Congress? Bomb NYC City Hall? Rob banks in Connecticut?
Many people who weren't alive in April 1965, don't know what's up! Estudia..Socialism is dead!
Like E. Germany, The Iron Curtain, etc.”

Continued....

At this point, PR has way too many ties both politically and economically to separate. If at some point in the future the majority decides it’s in their best interest to separate, more power to them.

As far as the whole Vieques issue, I’m not any kind of expert of the matter and it’s a shame the Island was used by the U.S. for bombing practice. However, from what I understand after they left and gave the Island back to the residents the standard of living dropped dramatically due to the loss of the military money that was keeping the local economy alive. So while I’m glad that they’re no longer using the Island for bombing practice and hopefully the local ecology can recover, to be fair the vocal few that complained loud enough for the military to pull out of Vieques, and for the most part Fajardo also screwed over a lot of the locals.

You yourself state that the majority of them chose commonwealth status. Now why exactly should Puerto Rico change it’s political affiliations to satisfy a bunch on New Yoricans? Does it even make sense that Ricans that were probably born in the U.S. and have only vacationed in PR to want independence? So are they going to renounce their U.S. citizenship and move back? Doubtful… At this point, from what little I’ve read concerning census statistics there are more people that consider themselves Puerto Rican of either 1st, 2nd etc generation that live in the U.S. then on the Island. Furthermore, according to political information and vote counts, I believe that only about 2-3% of the island consider themselves independent party. So basically the whole idea that a few Ricans should conduct what would basically be terrorist acts to overrule the majority and dictate politics for the whole Island is ridiculous. Continued..

Goulet, You finally got a little action, which means you don't need to take a laxative.

anthonyc,


You finally got it!

I admire when a man confessess and sees the error of his ways!

You must feel great after you got that monkey of your back!

Anthony,

For someone who is so in tune with your financial tax obligations going to unmeritorious sources, I find it ominous that you haven't complained of the $65,000,000 worth of welfare given to the larcenous cuban-American National Foundation, (just one of the many cuban exile groups sucking on the teat of the American taxpayer) only 13% of which has been used in initiatives of assistance to the cuban people. That doesn't include the $45.7 million US taxpayer welfare given in cuban democracy grants or the millions wasted on Radio Marti. It seems that your watchdog fiscal conservancy for the US taxpayer does not get in the way of your political ideology towards your welfare sucking US cuban political groups. Stop the welfare checks for the thieving cuban political exile groups now!!!!!!!!!!! Hypocrisy is the bastion of all virtuous and intellectually challenged zealots as yourself.

devin is starting to come out of his shell

Chauncey,

You Cubanitos have become, well how should I say it; well like you the "Piñatas" of DT.

Send all Cubans freeloaders and right wing gusano nazis back to Cuba where they belong, not mooching off the good will of the USA. We have had enough!

Wow Cahuncey you and antonia c are taking it on the chin today!

I am not coming out of my shell, I have always championed the exposure of hypocritical zealots such as anthonyc. My intention was to prove his inherent hypocritical demeanor with regards to his extreme and unsound philosophies. I don't ever like to be insulting on any issue and I can even find common ground with even the most opposing viewpoints. I just feel that anthonyc has no redeemable human value or decency. I apologize to you if you found my characterization of him too cad or grievous.

P.S. I don't think him a Nazi or a Socialist, I just think him an idiot, with very low intelligence acumen and even lower esteem issues.

devin actually you are still pretty restrained compared to most ....particularly people like Mad Dog josean the paid PRD lackey and stooge

GC,
Josean is a very smart guy, much like you. He has an aptitude for social justice that I find commendable and endearing, he is a very genuine person whether you agree or disagree with him. Remember when we both suggested that he was sorely missed when he took a sabbatical some weeks ago? I know you like having him around, you don't fool me.

devin11,

Thank for that undeserved compliment.

Chauncey as for you;

This was a poor attempt at divide an conquer:

"devin actually you are still pretty restrained compared to most ....particularly people like Mad Dog josean the paid PRD lackey and stooge"


I thought you to be a little more sophisticated than that. But in a masochistic kind of way I still like you!
