amén, puñeta. 

me saca de quisio la gente que me dice que voy a perder el tiempo votando por Bernabé. Si votara por Padilla me sentiría como mierda, en cambio al votar por mis ideales me sentiré con el pecho y la frente en alto; nada de hipocrecías. 

Bernabe está cogiendo un momentum grandísimo. Que quede claro.

Coat of arms of Puerto Rico

The major symbolism of the coat of arms relates to the dominance of Spain, the strong Roman Catholic influence in the region, and the integrity of Puerto Rico as a colony of Spain. There have been different variations of the coat of arms changing throughout Puerto Rico’s history. The current version was officially re-adopted by the Commonwealth government of Puerto Rico in 3 June 1976.

On the shield: The green background represents the island’s vegetation. The Lamb of God and cross flag on the shield are symbols traditionally associated with St. John the Baptist, patron of the island.

The book with the seven seals on which the lamb sits represents symbolism from the Book of Revelation, generally attributed to St. John the Apostle.

The border is made up of 16 different elements: castles and lions to represent the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of León, a flag with the arms of the Crown of Castile and León, and The Cross of Jerusalem to stand for the Kingdom of Jerusalem, whose succession rights passed to the Kingdom of Sicily, and henceforth to the Spanish Crown.

The gold-crowned F and the arrows (Spanish: flechas) represent Ferdinand II of Aragon, while the Y and the yoke represent Ysabel, i.e., Isabella I of Castile who were the Catholic monarchs when Puerto Rico was discovered.

The Latin motto, “JOANNES EST NOMEN EJUS” (a quotation from the Vulgate of Luke 1:63), means “John is his name”, referring to St. John the Baptist or San Juan Bautista, the original name of the island.

Creo que le hace falta un update.

    La tierra de Borinquen
    donde he nacido yo
    es un jardín florido
    de mágico primor.

    Un cielo siempre nítido
    le sirve de dosel
    y dan arrullos plácidos
    las olas a sus pies.

    Cuando a sus playas llegó Colón
    exclamó lleno de admiración:
    “Oh!, oh!, oh!, ésta es la linda tierra
    que busco yo.”

    Es Borinquen la hija,
    la hija del mar y el sol,
    del mar y el sol,
    del mar y el sol,
    del mar y el sol,
    del mar y el sol.

    The land of Borinquen
    where I have been born
    is a flowery garden
    of magical beauty.

    A constantly clear sky
    serves as its canopy
    and placid lullabies are sung
    by the waves at its feet.

    When at her beaches Columbus arrived
    full of awe he exclaimed,
    “Oh!, oh!, oh!, this is the lovely land
    that I seek.”

    Borinquen is the daughter,
    the daughter of the sea and the sun.
    Of the sea and the sun,
    of the sea and the sun,
    of the sea and the sun,
    of the sea and the sun.
