"Puerto Rican Statehood Doesn't Strengthen America"

Where on earth is the mainstream media? The United States has not added a state to its union in over fifty years. Shouldn't the possibility of a 51st state be a huge news story? One would think so, but not in the age of a corrupt American Pravda covering for a stealth-like administration and its Democratic comrades.

Read from the American Thinker:

Stealth task force on Puerto Rican statehood moving bill forward
Greg Halvorson

"Call it 'Amnesty, East Coast style,' call it 'the Bilingual Express,' but in keeping with the theme of 'fundamental transformation,' the task force on Puerto Rican statehood (yes, there is one) has been quietly scheming to move this ball forward.

Associate Attorney General, Thomas Perrelli, addressing 'taskers,' recently shared some high-level thoughts:


'"President Obama is open to the idea of Puerto Rico becoming a state," he said. "He strongly believes that the status question is a significant one. He believes that Puerto Rican status must be based on self-determination by the people of Puerto Rico. And we on the task force have open minds on the issue."'


Wonderful. It's good to know what your president believes, but it's also good to know the end-game. Puerto Rican statehood will add permanent House seats and a pair of liberal senators to the current Dem-count. It will transform America into a bilingual nation. The average income of Puerto Ricans is less than half of our poorest state, unemployment is high, so it will require increased spending.

No doubt, the president knows all of this. You might say he 'believes' it. Puerto Rican statehood doesn't strengthen America, it strengthens Democrats. And that is the truth."

Where is the mainstream media? Covering NEWS. This isn't news. This idea of Puerto Rican statehood has been kicking around ever since Puerto Rico became a territory. It's even come up to a vote of Puerto Ricans on at least two different occasions, and the electorate has always refused to apply for statehood. And they likely still would.

But what this DOES do is fit very neatly into the rightwingnut "BOOGAH BOOGAH Be Afraid" strategy. More scare tactics from the Chicken Little Brigade.
