VIDEO SHOCKER: PUERTO RICAN PROTESTORS GREET PRESIDENT OBAMA BY…BURNING THE AMERICAN FLAG Posted on June 14, 2011 at 10:18pm by Billy Hallowell Print
President Barack Obama’s trip to Puerto Rico earlier today was significant for a variety of reasons. Obama is the first U.S. president to visit the country in a half-century. With courting Latino voters likely to be a campaign priority next year, the trip has very clear political implications for the president.
But, his visit was significant for another reason: It coincided with the Independence Party’s public burning of the American flag. According to the party’s official web site:
Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States since 1898, as a result of the Spanish-American War. As part of that War, the United States Armed Forces invaded Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898. Puerto Ricans are still struggling to attain sovereignty and independence..........................>>>>.................>>>>.....................http://www.theblaze.com/storie.....g-the-american-flag/
