Hatillo, Puerto Rico - www.cubanoticiasdisidentes.com - The Three Stooges considered one of the most famous comedy trios of the 20 century. But guess what? Here in Puerto Rico we have our own trio of stooges and they are still alive, yes, now in the 21 century. believe it or not we honest to goodness have our own Moe, Larry and Curly. Aha! but their names differ its Danny, Ojeda and Benicio, and they still share a commun relations to the famous group of the 30s acting the roll of buffoons.

It makes me blush, not with laughter, but with shame to have to say that these characters are from Puerto Rico. Every time they open their mouth it puts our people in a state of utter stupidity, making everybody around the world believe we are all the same. Danny Rivera singing and dancing like a spinning top and then opening his mouth to offend and hurt millions of people with his comment without feeling one bit of remorse realy makes us all feel like jackasses. His comments about Osama Bin Laden being a heroe and trying to help liberate the communist spies of Cuba, responsable for the death of "Brothers to the Rescue" to request that they be liberated really makes one think is this guy crazy or just a sick buffoon with a sick sense of humor; for sure he is not a patriot, even though he believes he is, but no, he is plainly just one evil sick psychopath who gives a hoot about peace on earth.

With Benicio Del Toro in the other hand it just makes one laugh with his comments of ignorance when he stuters trying to speak as an expert over the Castros dictatorship:"ah,ah,ah,ah,oh,oh,oh,oh,well,ah,ah,ah,ah,oh,oh,oh,oh", one hell of a clown, he should have taken up comedy instead of drama, the roll in this line of work would have fitted him to a "t". He is just one sad terrible expert in nothing, but maybe comedy.

Now we have the situation of Luís Francisco Ojeda who has a complexion of inferiority and who hates foreigners with a passion. Even though he loves to visit his family in Florida, he does not renounce his american citizenship or the american dollars which he gets paid with. Even though it is the only means of monetary pay he can still be very patriotic, according to his own mind, and refuse to accept anything foriegn, like american money, and go and create some type of bartering by working the land with plow and shovel and use corn or bananas as a means of barter for exchange of goods, depending on the quality of what he raises, but looking closely at his weak physical state i doubt he could raise himself out of a chair. I am so glad he quit his job because it just seem ridiculous that a person who on many occasions critized violations of rights would violate the rights of others, it just did not make sense.

We live in a democracy and if in this democracy you contribute to this economy as any honorable and decent human being is required to do by paying your taxes and keeping out of trouble. Then why is it that i keep hearing, not only from Luís Francisco Ojeda, But from other persons claiming that a suppose foriegner is not permitted to opinionate on anything in concern with the politics of this island? The same political decisions which are going to benefit or harm us are the same decisions which are going to hurt or benefit anybody.

I believe that anybody who blocks someone's right to free expression is totally wrong, our constitution defends that right and if we violate that right then we should be held responsable and sujected to being sued. No matter if you are from Cuba, Russia, China, Arab, Jewish, French, Mexican, Dominican,etc., etc., it just should not matter, our constitution saids we have these rights and they should be respected, period. If you do not like it then you are living in the wrong country, our country practices these human rights for all to enjoy, not just a few, or of so and so color, race, religion or certain political view. This signaling out certain groups who are the only ones to breath, walk and speak freely is ridiculous and should be stopped inmediately. No one should be prohited from speaking out his mind to what ever he believes is right or wrong, and if we do keep practicing it then we are violating the constitutional rights of a group or groups of human beings, just like you and me, so lets stop it.

Expressing ourselfs to being very nationalistic as they do here in Puerto Rico to use as a tool for discriminating against a group or groups of people and take it to the extreme makes me wonder how ignorant is the person expressing this form of thinking. Maybe some people simply do not realize that being to nationalistic can take us back to the same dangerous devotion that existed in the 30s by some political groups. Here in Puerto Rico some extremist developed "The National Socialist Party of Puerto Rico" and if we take a closer look at the political turmoil in Germany during the same era we can see the creation also of "The National Socialist Party of Germany" or Better known as "The Nazi Party", the same nationalistic idea that was responsable for the death of more than 40 million persons directly and indirectly, in this list we can include 6 million Jews, a couple of million Gypsies, Russians, groups of homosexuals, foreigners and politicians. The communist have almost equaled the nationalist in their evil extreme, well almost, since the millions of death has been maybe the same or worst all around the world.

Taking personal or political views to the extreme is a sad and unfortunate thing to do, especially when you are prohibiting or playing around with the rights of others. If you do not believe in others being able to practice their rights to free expression don't do it, but do not stop others from enjoying does rights guaranteed in the constitution of this country which was created for all to enjoy.

To all my brother and sisters who consider themselves foriegners, wellcome to the land of the free. I plead forgiveness for the disrespect which these three compatriots, i mentioned, have shown toward you without any concern for the misery and sadness that you all have indured, and may God also have mercy on them for these lack of considerations. You are all very welcome and may God bless you all.
