Re: Why is a FL GOP Congressman pushing PR statehood?

So, why did the USA grant freedom to Cuba but not PuertoRico? Because Sen. Henry M. Teller did not want Cuba as a US Territory. It would compete with his sugar interests in Hawaii (annexed as a US Territory) and his Sugar Beet holdings in Colorado, which were a major economic industry at the time. ...

Re: Why is a FL GOP Congressman pushing PR statehood?

As the originator of this thread, let me be blunt: I don't want any more sure-to-be liberal House members and electoral college voters and, worst of all, Senators. Beyond that I don't give AF. So on that basis alone I don't want PR as a state. As it is I would love to cut loose some states we alrea...

Re: Why is a FL GOP Congressman pushing PR statehood?

Exactly! it doesn't matter if you were born on the mainland- If you now live in and claim residency in one of these "commonwealths" you lose your chance to vote for the President, and have no real rights under the constitution. You are now a 2nd class citizen, and citizen in name only but ...

Re: Why is a FL GOP Congressman pushing PR statehood?

PR has a LARGE conservative movement and just like here in the mainland they are low key unlike the left leaning liberals and socialist. They WANT statehood and is holding them up is- YOU GUESSED IT, this impeachment BS! The Dems know that this is a Conservative agenda and as such pushed it to the b...

Re: Why is a FL GOP Congressman pushing PR statehood?

I feel like this- 1) give them independence right away OR 2) give them statehood and make them pay taxes just like every other American citizen. Keeping them as is, is not good for the USA- It is basically is a colony (along with USVI, Guam, DC, etc) The PR islanders need either get on the bus, or g...

Re: How/Where do I start?

Excellent!

Lastly- do many of the online shops that sell these cans also do the paperwork for you, and is it built into the cost of the can or is an extra charge?

Re: Self/Home Defense Ammo For AR Pistol

I agree Skoll, thus why I am going to stick with an AR9 and backup G19 (or vice versa, when SHTF I plan to pick up whatever is nearest). Although my Neighbors are not too near, I think they are near enough that I would worry about a round going through a window and into their property. as for my hom...
