Finally breaking up with my Argentine boyfriend...
Translated from Spanish
Juan: What's wrong with me [that you don't want to be with me]? [He'd finally seen the change in my relationship status.]
Rick: Juan, I love you but we can't be together now.
Juan: You wouldn't say that if you loved me. I love you but you don't feel that it's true.
Rick: You abandoned me in the hospital [after my second surgery]. You didn't take care of me. When I told you I had cancer, 5 minutes later you were asking me for money. This is not love.
Juan: Rick, think what you want. But sometimes loves doesn't cover all the necessities. [I didn't quite understand his Spanish here and my Argentine friends don't either.]
Rick: OK. I've always helped you, Juan, and we will be friends always. Goodbye. I wish you only happiness.
Juan:

American citizen and solider mistreated
Barack Obama, commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces, is directly responsible for the abuse of an American citizen and soldier.
But only “liberals” care about torture, apparently.
