Obama Goes To Cuba

After a ruthless blockade that has lasted almost 60 years, and what about those who have died in the mercenary attacks on Cuban ships and ports, an airliner full of passengers blown up in midair, mercenary invasions, multiple acts of violence and coercion?

So what is Castro talking about when he refers to airliners blown up and violence/coercion?

Marxist socialism is the greatest evil the world has ever known (vastly more death than hitlerism). Honoring a country that has been following that creed is worse than honoring a country that follows the n-a-z-i creed.

The U.S. should not have agreed to trade with China in the '70s either. Back then, we could have forced other countries to join us by banning them too if they traded with China. We should continue to boycott all marxist-based countries, which are founded on violence and have always been dictatorships.

If you had your way, the US couldn't have traded with any other country on the planet. That would have ruined your country.

If history has taught us anything, it's that mutual trade and the reliance that follows is a guarantee against aggression and war.

I'd say it's a significant measure of security, but it's absolutely not a a guarantee.

In this case, of course, the embargo against Cuba has been stupid for a very long time.

Good luck with that here, there is a bunch of socialists and liberals who are one in the same. They haven't met a dictator they didn't love. Che and Castro are heroes to them.

Last evening I saw Obama speaking to a Cuban assemblage which included Raul Castro. He said:


It really made me proud to be American. Great job Mr. President!

That deserves to be up there with "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." Zombie Reagan wishes he'd said it.

I'm surprised there is no discussion of this event (I couldn't find one at any rate), but yesterday President Barack Obama, along with forty members of Congress, a contingent of American business people and the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team, arrived in Cuba. This was the first time an American President had visited the island nation in eighty-eight years.

There was considerable discussion in the real world .
Far more interesting is his visit to Argentina and Antarctica .Not much( any?) mainstream coverage .
Given the Chinese expenditures in Patagonia ( presumably) --- not far from Adolf's retirement mansion coincidentally --- silence has apparently been deemed golden .
As for further south . There's an interesting place to hang out .

"Only Nixon can go to China."

What did they mean by that?

It meant that at the time with the Red Scare and Cold War, Nixon had the cred with the people scared of that sort of Commie collusion to not be accused of it. It says nothing about the validity of those accusations against others. In fact we know that most all of those accusations were bunk, and is rightly viewed with great shame.

By most. Fifty years later some still think that going to Cuba means that unless you're to the right of Ted Cruz, you're a liberal commie traitor. Those accusations should be viewed as bunk, and with great shame.

Conservatives have hated this entire trip of Obama's from the beginning. They've been playing to Cuban expats (who won't rest until all the pro Castro people have been nuked) for so long that they have lost all sense of reason.

They are remembering all the Cubans murdered and tortured by Castro - until they die off it ain't gonna happen!! To the specific point, I trust they know we have no selective nukes, And you may trust me I think it would be great if we and only we did!!!!!
