March 1, 1954 four terrorists unfurled a Puerto Rican Flag in the viewing chamber of the United States House of Representatives, and then opened fire with hand guns. These terrorists were Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres
Figueroa Cordero, and Irving Flores Rodríguez. The 240 Representatives of the 83rd
Congress, who were debating an immigration bill that these people perceived at a threat to the status of Puerto Rico. Five Representatives
were wounded, one seriously, but all recovered. These terrorist were
arrested, tried and convicted in federal court, and given long
sentences, effectively life imprisonment. In 1978 and 1979, they were
pardoned by the second worst President in American history- Jimmy Carter. All four returned to Puerto Rico.
These four terrorists were no doubt angered by their perceived treatment of Puerto Rico. The March 2
New York Times reported that the nationalists “shouted for the freedom
of their homeland as they fired murderously although at random from a
spectators’ gallery just above the House floor. … House members at first
thought the sounds were those of firecrackers. But as their colleagues
fell or took cover as they heard the slugs hit around them, all realized
what was happening.”
Particular attention was given to Ms. Lebron, who was dressed stylishly
with high heels and bright red lipstick. “Piercing the confusion were
the screams of the Puerto Rican woman: ‘Viva Puerto Rico!’ She emptied
the chambers of a big Luger pistol, holding it in her two hands, and
waving it wildly. Then she threw down the pistol and whipped out a
Puerto Rican flag, which she waved but never did manage to unfurl
fully.”
The four shooters were members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party,
an organization that called for full independence for Puerto Rico,
which has been under United States control since the end of the
Spanish-American War in 1898.
This same group of terrorists also tried to assassinate Harry Truman. Jimmy Carter pardoned them in an effort to get the freedom of United States hostages that were being held in Cuba.
Is there any doubt that this man was the living, breathing definition of incompetence? The efforts to "rehabilitate" his reputation that the msm engages in would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.
Is it any wonder that Iran believed they could hold our hostages for as long as they wanted to with no fear of recrimination from "Jimmah"? He may have been a decent man. He may yet be one, but his skill as a President is non existent. Thank God that he didn't set the precedent that Slick Willie has of popping up in the news every time there is an opportunity for a photo op.
It was his grandson who found and released the footage of Mitt Romney telling a fundraiser that 47% of people are on some kind of assistance and have no interest in losing the gravy train, or words to that effect. Even though it is true, the msm finally had a "gotcha moment" and hammered it until it died. There are many that believe this was the event that gave b.o. the margin of victory. (Of course those districts with 104% turnout didn't hurt, either.)
I haven't found a liberal with our Republic's best interest at heart. If I find one, I'll let you know and you can thank me later.
