Asturian-American Migration Forum

Until Xose posted today, I had forgotton about this diagolue. Growing up in Spelter and the Clarksburg area, all I heard was Spaniard, never a reference to a province, such as Asturias. The picnics were Spanish picnics, not Asturian. My paternal grandparents and my maternal grandfather are from Astu...

Art, I forgot to add. In your response to Barbara you mentioned Xose pointing out the Bush flip flops to make your point, but you failed to mention that I provided several web sites that list the Kerry flip flops. Hell, one web site had to index the flip flops because there were so many. Art, try to...

Art, I agree with Barbara, as I believe you and Xose have been totally out of line with your unsubstantiated comments and mud slinging to support your beliefs and causes. I wasn't going to particpate in the Political Discussion section of the Forum and had warned you of the future consequences that ...

Terechu, I do hope the ETA is in retreat, as I believe ETA could threaten the future stability of an unified Spain. As I am sure there are other groups and individuals who would like to see their regions of Spain become independent counties, so I have read. Any opinions on the other regions and grou...

Bob, thanks for the FBI info. I e-mailed and faxed my FOIA request this evening. I will let the Forum know of how long it takes, if I am refused, and what information may be contained in any file on me. This is a good exercise. If I do not get a reply, I will then write my congressman, Dennis Moore,...

How do you Forum members in Asturias and Spain feel about the Basque ETA movement? We have not touched upon this subject, and with terrorism running rampant in the world, where do the Basque fit in and the ETA organization with terrorism? Are the ETA terrorist, or patriots seeking independence from ...

Xose, sorry you didn't understand my last post directed to you. Basically, what I said is you are living in a rose colored world based upon a socialist senator who is running for president to come to your rescue. However, with his flip flops none of us know which direction he will go in if he become...

Carlos, Your last post has left me speechless. I am so sorry and as Art has said, we do not get complete coverage in this country of happenings in Spain, or elsewhere outside our borders. We don't even have a good view of news in Canada, our neighbor. Sometimes to sell newspapers and get listeners o...

Xose, do you wear glasses? B e l o w I was kind of wondering if you do and if they are rose colored for Kerry. Anyway, I guess when you were in the store picking out your Kerry rose colored glasses you voted for the green lens before you voted against the green lens. But chose instead the Kerry rose...

To be fair and balanced the following are just a few websites that one can use to review the numerous flip-flops of John Kerry. www.georgebush.com/KerryFlipFlops/ www.flipflopper.com/Flipflops.asp My favorite because it has an index to pick a subject and it is: www.nojohnkerry.org/kerryhtml/flipflop...

Mouguias, thank you for your post. Mouguias, I do not understand why the US, UK and others stood idly by while Francisco Franco Bahamonde seized power and the bloody Spanish Civic War. The USA, I guess coming out of a Great Depression, thinking it fought the "great and last" war, WWI, sett...

From my readings, Franco stayed in power until his death in 1975, with Juan Carlos, hand picked, replacing him as King opening up a new era of democracy for Spain. Almost lost freedom when some military officers shot up parliament and attempted to overthrow the government and reestablish Facism. Jua...

Carlos, I really enjoyed the pictures you provided. A moment in time for history. What I did see in the picture of Hitler and Franco was evil at its worst. Gives you cold chills just viewing that picture. The second of the Catholic priests and Franco. Again, a church too afraid to attack a Fascist a...

Xose, to get additional news on US and world affairs, you need to expand your reading beyond the Workers Daily.

Kidding.

Terechu, good summary of events that led to the down fall of Aznar. What I had read and heard in our news medias was Aznar and his party held large leads in the polls prior to the Madrid train bombing. After the bombing Spaniards were terrified of terrorist and Al Qaeda and chose Zapatero as he prom...
