Francis has sent a message to the Argentinians for the 200th anniversary of their country’s independence. We pray that the country will be defended against all forms of colonisation, he said

[ebb tide]

He invites them “not to sell the Motherland” and to resist “all forms of colonisation”.

[dfwgator]

Oh, so how does he feel about the Brits asserting their own independence?

[South Dakota]

How about printing 3 trillion in worthless fiat money and spending trillion more than we have?

Is that OK?

[Vince Ferrer]

So no refugees then?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

So, is the Pope are Mother-Land-er?

[dfwgator]

So I take that means he’s against the Falklands becoming an Argentine Colony, right?

[oldasrocks]

So why are we selling all the land to china?

[Arthur McGowan]

But Europe and North America should have No Borders.

Sick of Bergoglio’s droolings.

[ebb tide]

And this coming from a man who has only Italian and German parentage.

[aposiopetic]

La patria no se vende could readily be translated as "the country is not for sale."

Especially in light of the sordid dealings of one of the major-party presidential candidates here in the US, to keep a country from being for sale seems a worthy goal.

[ebb tide]

For Motherland. For Stalin!

[2ndDivisionVet]

Is he a Peronista?

[ResponseAbility]

So that means Jerusalem should not be divided then?

[Hugin]

But we’re not supposed to build a wall to protect ours. Got it.
