This is the first time that I reed something that appears to be completeley in sin with my thoughts. Zapatero is wrong about many things. I can see that when you can’t walk by the streets in Madrid without fear of been rob; when I see prostitutes selling their bodies during the day in public streets where minors can watch; when I see condoms and drug syrengies on the parks and public streets of Madrid. When you can’t have an empty house because someone my illegally occupy your home. I don’t believe that is democracy and I see that USA is heading that way with a banch of crooks taking control of the government.

Spain almost 200k unemployed more., 6000 people lost their jobs every day. (44 million people live in Spain).

But of course, Zapatero will say that the crisis in Spain is Bush’s fault.

Zapatero is the typial example of the useful idiot.

Spain is divided in 17 different states, each with their own political groups, hungry of money and power and this smiling happy idiot is giving away money to the richer parts of the country, the separatists. Giving away green cards to illegal immigrants thinking about getting the vote like Miterrand did. Kissing different dictador’s butts. Deniying for a year that we were in a big real state crisis…

Tomorrow we will have the unemployment rate for Spain: it is going to be huge.

Take a step back and tune in to Ezra Taft Benson on You-Tube.
You have to hear this one if you’re under 70.

But if the people of Catalonia want that, they should have it. We have a similar situation here in the UK with Northern ireland and Scoland, just let the people vote on it. There is no point trying to force a region to be part of your country, better to have a friendly neighbour than a resentful houseguest.

It seems to me like the author is talking out of his ass.

Robert Mayer: “Geez, what’s wrong with greater Catalan autonomy?”

Mayer obviously has no clue that Catalan separatism threatens the end of Spain as a country. Instead of spouting off about things he has no idea about, Mayer should consider that Obama and Zapatero have more things in common than he is willing to admit. If Obama becomes US president, Americans will learn the hard way, just like us in Spain.

Wow, way to get an article with an ax to grind about Spanish politics published just because Obama is mentioned once at the beginning and once at the end. Does this article really have anything to do with Obama? I’m not voting for him, but in his defense the context presented in the article is barely relevant.

Some comments were really strange, too. The one about the Carme Chacon’s non-belief in a united and indivisible Spain doesn’t have anything to do with anything, really. And if you want to talk about federalism, autonomy, and the benefits/disadvantages thereof, that’s an entirely different article (or book, for that matter) altogether. Geez, what’s wrong with greater Catalan autonomy? The whole world would be better off if countries devolved into more federated countries instead of the current statist approach.
