It seems like the Minority, doesn't want to understand 'why'. They just want to React, to Fox(the Sly One). Since Fox and Karol Rove refuse to report ALL the News, I suggest to Fox viewers to research on your own. But, keep watching Fox, and catch them in their half-truths. Its fun.
After all even Oreilly likes to start rumors…

This is is ridiculous. What business did these so-called representatives have going to a foreign country, one that has a Communist dictator, and praising him? There should be such an outrage from the Congressional leadership and these men and women that went should be kicked out of the halls of Congress. Oh, wait a minute I almsot forgot, Nancy Pelousy is in charge there, all will be forgiven or not even mentioned at all. They have overstepped their bounds in regards to speaking with this dictator. It is not in their job description to be negotiating on any level. The US has a standing policy for not traveling to this country unless approved by the State Department. Why did they let them go to Cuba? Who is in charge of the State Dept.? Who authorized it? It just goes to show you that one socialist can get along with another socialist.
Pay in cuba is about 9 dollars a month, they drive very old cars if at all, and THOUSANDS of people are 'missing' over the years…
Many thousands are in jail and fidel is the warden…
But, that's a liberals dream… Bust the country, rob everyone's liberty, get rid of god and become same to the masses, yep, dems liberials…
A pox on their houses…
Back in January, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sent a special envoy to deliver his message for the Cuban president and his brother Fidel, and stressed Iran´s friendship and solidarity towards Cuba. During the meeting, Castro stressed on his “confidence that relations between Cuba and Iran will continue to get stronger, based on respect and gain”. Also In 2008, Iran granted Cuba a 200-million-Euro credit line to undertake several different projects. Would this be a great back door opportunity for countries like Iran with close ties to Cuba, to carry out possible terror acts. Castro always spoke against the United States, even dating back to 1951 when we defended South Korea. Castro has always been friends with our enemies, which makes sense in why he likes Obama, he seems to want to like them also.
Shouldn't this be considered treason? They are giving comfort and credibility to an avowed enemy!
Why don't the idiots that suck up to Castro just emigrate to Cuba?? If it's all that and a box of biscuts go for it……but the hypocritic bastards keep sucking off the tit of the American people while badmouthing the great nation that makes it possible for them to act like the sycophantic morons thet are………disgusting.
The caucus is just another in a series of racist organizations. I cannot believe that people would join such a divisive organization. Vote those racist SOB's out of office I say…….
Why do we have to wait to vote the SOB's out of office. It seems, that starting at the top, some of the governments actions are unconstitutional, at the very least, unpatriotic. Maybe someone on this site has enough constitutional knowledge to inform the rest of us uninformed patriots. As a government labeled "minority", I don't understand other minorities setting themselves apart instead of acting like proud Americans. My grandparents were immigrants from Mexico and they worked to make themselves productive citizens of their adoptive country. The United States government has never did anything to me to want to classify myself as anything other than AMERICAN.
Seems like this is nothing new for the Democrats. Siding with the ememy I mean. It happens again and again and we all sit idly by while they sell this country down the river. Its time to vote these traitors out and maybe they should be tried for treason,
I think it's time to open up Cuba again, that way we can dominate their economy once again, and smoke their cigars legally. It's a win win!
The results of doing business with that murderer will be BLOOD MONEY! If you want to educate yourself all you have to do is google "The drawers" in Cuban prisons so you can see how people are tortured just for voicing a dissenting opinion. In Cuba there were 11 prisons in 1958, now there's 258. But the ridiculously stupid and idiotic black caucus members were not interested in seeing the truth. Lifting the embargo will have no effect on the quality of life of the poor cuban people. Castro trades with the whole world and the cubans starve. Castro lives like a king. Forbes magazine placed his "stolen" fortune at $950 million, yet cubans do the slave work assigned to them for $11.00 a month.
Opening up Cuba it's a win lose!!! It's a win win for Castro, a lose lose for poor Cuban people.
Elevate your thinking man – be a CAPITALIST! You need to look past a iffy human rights record to see a lucrative market. Castro is dead, and Cuba wants to do business. This policy was dead in the '80s, when Cuba lost Soviet subsidies. We do business with murders all the time, it's the way the world works. Plus, I want to go beautiful Cuban beach to drink Havana Club rum with and hang with their ladies. Guess we see things differently!
adapt.real fast ! and start preparing now! i went through 3 hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 and learned real fast to adapt. and without all the toys our family actually got closer . of course till the power came back on !
Here's an excellent article I found pertaining to the CBC's visit to Cuba.

Anyone who would follow castro would kiss the ring of a saudi dictator who allows women to be treated most inhumane and who hides and bankrolls the 911 type human interventionists??
Is that PC ??
I can't believe this ! It seems like Obama and the Democrats are trying to pal around with leaders that hate America .Makes you wonder…….
Because this article is about the Black Caucas my comments wont be printed, the problem I have with that is I would not say anything different if it were the white, asian or latino caucas that went to Cuba.
Those people are all about them and they are communist or socialist. You do not fit into their equation. They hate the country, and the laws of the country they are supposed to represent. Maybe its their ignorance about the republic for which they should stand for.
Growing up in Miami…..knowing Cubans who risked their lives to get away from Castro……….knowing others who gave up being a professional Doctor for the job as a busboy in a hotel just for freedom…….. I can not believe that the Cubans in America would be happy with this little trip.
How stupid do you have to be to think Cuba and Castro have changed. Obvious the CBC is looking for face time and are cluless as are most of congress. I have a friend that left Cuba becausa Castro is a tyrant.
Well then I am sure the Black Caucus would love to visit them if that's how they feel . I am sure they will flying to Spain soon to welcome them and cuddle with them !!!!!!
Castro had these Congressmen (Persons???) in his back pocket the moment he told them that he was a big admirer of MLK!!!
After that admission by Castro, he could not say ANYTHING wrong in their eyes.
I think they are in his back pocket, literally. The next move will be to lift sanctions against the dictator. Don't think these members of the CBC don't stand to gain monetarily. El Heffe will reward them, mark my words.
OMG, you all have got to hear these two songs and they would be PERFECT for the Tea Party's. They are older songs but oh so fitting for this moment in time. PLEASE take a listen they are both MUST HEAR songs. The first is called "The Americans" by Tex Ritter and the second "God Bless America Again" by Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkP8qB6Xd_0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhrvZRqszLc
Here are two more versions of "God Bless American Again", the first Loretta Lynn with Bobby Bare and the second is a better audio of the Loretta Lynn/Conway Twitty version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYTdBYvSlRk&fe...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MKWEHQN2VY&fe...
And the most aggressive left winged administration strikes again. I hope al the people that voted for change/hope are happy with themselves. Because soon enogh you won't even recognize this country from the others abroad.
The only way we can end this mess is if we come togeather, and I dont mean just by keyboard's! July 4 D.C.! Or we can just keep typeing in are complaint's, and watch our country become the USSA! If we can't match what Farricon did we really are in trouble! Start stocking up on thing's you need to survive like bullets to hunt with.
Of course he seemed warm and friendly he was talking to those that want to lift the embargo. Do you think if there wasn't any media coverage or if the cbc hadn't been the ones to go but instead maybe some Cuban Americans went to visit him, that he would have been just as hospitalbe? And the audacity of calling America racist, well yes I can see that, look who went to represent us.
I am ready for a real leader in our country, if this one would get the gumption to stop apologizing, quit acting all buddy buddy with malicious dictators, and stand for something that would actually benefit the American people, he would have my support.
The Black Caucus that went down to Cuber are a bunch of moronic dimwits with NO understanding of geo-political motivations. "What can we do to help President Obama?" I mean "come on" how in the world can anybody take this tin-pot dictator seriously!! Bobby Rush saying, (paraphrasing) "MLK would be proud to have Castro considered a friend." I believe MLK used the words "content of character" as to how people should judge each other. Castro does not have one decent character trait anyone can speak of; he murders dissenters that speak out against the country or himself. The place is literally a slave plantation, Castro is the slave-master and the population at large are the slaves. They produce what the government wants them to produce and in return they get to stay alive. How can anyone say Cuber is a country we should try to emulate. Limbaugh had a caller tell him that when they were visiting family in Cuber she said that the country imports 2nd rate sugar and sells their sugar to the rest of the world. She had to get a manager in the hotel to bring her a packet of sugar because the Cuban residents would steal the sugar packets. They can't even get their own sugar, what does that tell the rest of the world about how great the government is down there in Cuber.
Wouldn't you consider President Obama one of the moronic dimwits with No understanding of geo-political motivations?
If the black caucus think that castro is so great they should give up their jobs and join castro. They will not be missed.
It is so sad to watch Bobby Rush try and speak I cannot understand a word he says. I am sure Castro would not have lied(HA) and said someone in the Black Caucus said America is still racist!!!!!!!!!! What is the deal with left wing that they love these horrible dictators. Then our President bows down to the King of Saudi Arabia. I am very scared for the USA and my children and grandchildren. I told everyone I know that Obama has an agenda for this country not for the good, and everyone thought I was an alarmist well I hate to say it but so far I have been right. It is a weird feeling knowing your President does not love this country, he sounds just like his pastor Rev.Wright and his friend Bill Ayers. Just have to try and keep my family close and let them know things have got to look up soon!!!!
Why do liberals–actually leftists is a more accurate term these days–seem to love every dictator and thug they meet? Liberals want us to believe that they are the guardians of human rights, power to the people, women's rights, freedom of the press, count every vote, civil rights, and all those other buzz words. But the people they most admire are the antithesis of those very ideals. Go figure.
Because they consider them heroic, in fact they have a desire to be like them. You know steal power with any means necessary and oppress the people all the while shaping the news and threatening anyone who speaks the truth. fairness doctrine anyone?
I find it hard to believe that there are people in this country that are so stupid. The Catholic church is one of the biggerst supporters of the poor in this, and every country that will allow it. That would be free nations who allow it while most dictators, potantates, communists etc. , (cuba) , do not.
Although it is funded by the taxpayers and it uses spaces in the Capitol building, the Congressional Black Caucus membership is only open to blacks. In 2007, Representative Steve Cohen, D-Tn., who is white, tried to apply for membership to better represent his constituents, who were 60% black.
The CBC officially responded "He does not, and cannot, meet the membership criteria, unless he can change his skin color."
Well, I think pretty well sums up MLK's vision of not judging people by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
The CBC is also composed primarily of radical leftist who admire socialism, communism, fascism, and totalitarianism, and so it makes sense to me that it was a big thrill for them to rub elbows with the warm and charming Castro–a dictator who at least has the common decency to shoot his opponents before burying them and who has spent a life-time supporting terrorism and overthrowing governments throughout Latin America, Africa, and other continents.
Listen we know who the black caucas is, it a socialist, racist, group. White is their blame game.
My husband used to work with Cubans and they used to tell him stories about their childhood in Cuba. One that stuck in his mind is this: When they were in school, the teacher would ask them to put their heads on their desks, close their eyes and pray to God for ice cream. Then the teacher would tell them to sit up and see that there was no ice cream. Then the teacher would ask them to put their heads down, close their eyes and ask Castro for ice cream. When they sat up there was "miraculously" ice cream in the room.
It's no wonder that many Cubans "love" Castro – they've been brainwashed into it.
Ever Cuban I have ever known or talked to in this country hates Castro.
I was speaking about the Cubans in Cuba that people try to use as support that Castro isn't evil. I know Cubans in America can't stand him – that's one big reason why they are living here instead of their beloved homeland.
The peole who think things should be there way should have to go and live in cuba for a year or two and then come back and see if there opinion changes.
What is the fascination with Cuba? I just don't get the drive to bend to mend bridges with Castro before he dies and faces the creator. I think the worst thing we could do is bend for Castro and make him a hero to his people, the one that stood up to the Americans.
And might I add, why does Obama feel the need to apologize and point out the negatives about our country? He didn't mention the dark past of the other countries he's been touring. I don't need him to apologize for me or my country. If he doesn't like the country, then maybe he should show us a better place. Now excuse me while I pick up the hair I pulled out in anger.
This is from the New York Post. The actual article is in the link below. Something has to be done!!! Spread the word.

RE-VOLT-ING SPIES HACK INTO US POWER GRID
By: ED ROBINSON
Last updated: 10:36 am

Posted: 2:34 am
April 8, 2009
Spies have reportedly hacked into America's electrical grid, and national security officials believe they could try to disrupt the system.
Chinese and Russian cyber spies have been monitoring the grid and other key US infrastructure, and have left behind software that could be used to take control of the system during a war or crisis, The Wall Street Journal reported on its Web site last night.
"There are intrusions [on the electrical system], and they are growing," a former official told the paper.
"There were a lot last year."
The intrusions have been detected by US intelligence officials, who have grown concerned that hackers might try to hijack electrical facilities or a nuclear-power plant via the Internet.
Water and sewage systems may also be at risk, officials said.
"Over the past several years, we have seen cyber attacks against critical infrastructures abroad, and many of our own infrastructures are as vulnerable as their foreign counterparts," Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair has said.
"A number of nations, including Russia and China, can disrupt elements of the US information infrastructure."
But officials said they don't see an immediate danger.
because its all part of the plan ! obama knows well find out his hidden agenda thats why he doing things so fast ! he along with others will bring this country to its knees in no time !! but are we ready to take this country back!! we will be attacked in every way possible from the inside and out!!i guess we never really won the cold war after all did we?
I've been asking my friends what they would do if the power was suddenly OFF. If they had no electricity at all…no water, no refrigeration, no heating, no TV, no anything. How would we survive? Are any of us prepared for the loss of power? The world has become more advanced, but that only makes us easier to take out. We don't have wells anymore for our water…we rely on the city to bring the water to us at the turn of a knob. We admire all our electronics, but an electromagnetic pulse or a hacker could take it all from us. Could we survive? And if martial law was declared, would we be allowed to survive?
You are correct. When groups are based solely on someones race, there is a problem. No wonder why we have race relation problems in this country.
Anyone who's seen Michael Moore's film "Sicko" will recall the scene in which he shouts with a bullhorn as his boat takes a group of people, including Sept. 11 workers, to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, where he says prisoners get better health care than Americans.
After the manned gun towers blow horns at Moore's boat, he takes the group to Havana, where his movie says socialized medicine government-run medicine is great for everyone. When Moore's group arrives in Havana, they are taken to a special section of a large showcase hospital.
Moore says in the film, "I asked [the Havana hospital] to give us the same exact care they give their fellow Cuban citizens. No more, no less. And that's what they did."
The Debate
Moore sat down with "20/20's" John Stossel and talked about that claim. When asked whether it really was an average hospital, Moore said, "Yes."
"This isn't just me saying this, you know. All the world health organizations or whatever have confirmed that if there's one thing they do right in Cuba, it's health care," Moore said. "And there's very little debate about that."
In fact, there is plenty of debate. Miami-based Cuban Human Rights activist Jose Carro says Moore's movie paints an inaccurate picture.
"These films that try to portray the health care system as superior to that of the U.S. are lacking in truth," Carro said. He asserts that most hospitals for Cuban citizens are dilapidated, that conditions are filthy and that patients are so neglected that some are starving.
George Utset, who runs the anti-Castro Web site called therealcuba.com, says Moore's group didn't "go to the hospital for regular Cubans. They go to the hospital for the elite and it's [a] very different condition."
Darsi Ferrer, a human rights advocate in Cuba, issued an SOS via telephone, wanting the world to know that ordinary Cubans are "crazy with desperation" over the horrendous state of their health care.
Questioning the Numbers
Moore says that because Cubans get such good health care, they live longer and it is true that a U.N. report claims that they live nearly two months longer. But the United Nations didn't gather any data, said Carro.
"The United Nations simply reports whatever the government in Cuba reports, so that we have no objective way to know what the real statistics are," he said.
Although Cuba claims to have low infant mortality rates, doctors have said the data is misleading because when there might be indications of problems with the fetus, there is a widespread practice of forced abortions.
Julio Alfonso said, "We personally used to do 70 to 80 abortions a day." Yanet Sanchez, a Cuban exile, said she was simply told to submit to an abortion. "They told me I should end the pregnancy," said Sanchez. "It was my very first pregnancy. I wanted to have the child."
Other doctors have said that if a child dies a few hours after birth, they don't count it as ever having lived, which ultimately makes infant mortality in Cuba look better than that of the United States.
"It changes the number, even though the same number of children may be dying or more," said Carro.
Long Life?
Moore disagrees. "All the independent health organizations in the world, and even our own CIA, believes that the Cubans have a pretty good health system. And they do, in fact, live longer than we do," he said.
But when "20/20" contacted the CIA, officials said, "We don't say that Cuba has a pretty good system or that Cubans live longer than Americans."
In fact, the CIA's World Fact Book says Americans live nearly a year longer. Although a U.N. report supports Moore's position, that data comes straight from the Cuban government.
Why believe anything the Cuban government says about Cuba? Moore said, "Let's stick to Canada and Britain and this stuff because I think these are legitimate arguments that are made against the film and against the, the so-called idea of socialized medicine. And I think you should challenge me on these things, and I'll give you my answer."
Healthy in Cuba, Sick in America?
John Stossel Takes on Michael Moore, Examines Government-Run Health Care
By MELISSA SCOTT
Sept. 7, 2007—
Seen on Obama's desk calendar: "Dictators, just like terrorists, are misunderstood friends we haven't yet met."
Gary, I might be mistaken, but I think you got the stats wrong. Cuban American voting block is mostly republican and mainly conservative. Now the Hispanic block as a whole is a different story, since they are mostly democrats and union members. Just because Cuban Americans get lumped with the overall Hispanic genre doesn't mean they go along with them.
It is easy, they have not spend time in a slop pen with a pig and let that be there life for 20 yrs, because they were to smart, to good at anything, or just to out spoken for there own good. If this treatment did not kill them a ,223 round in the back of there head soon after there release would take care of the problem. To call them Stupid is a much under statement of the fact of there thinking.
Most do not understand the difference between being book smart, and being WISE (Wisdom)- Most of our smart people in congress and white house are not wise…this to our down fall……anyone with any wisdom can see what is going to happen to this country in the next 18 months to 4yrs. I am preparing myself and house for it, and the fight to live.
wow cuba its like a time capsule old junky cars playing dominoes all day living in poverty not really doing anything with your life basically one giant ghetto! no wonder why they like it there ! coming to a city near you!!! thanks obama supporters and to all you dead people that came back just to vote for him!! WHAT A BUNCH OF MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERE, HERE!
These people cozing up to a dictator and saying that he is a grea guy is just disgusting!!! The "black coalition" needs to do a reality check. Castro is a horrible dictator and that is why so many people risk their lives to get out of that small repressed country.
It reminds me of another group that tried to cozy up to the bearded one, they were called the Black Panthers….
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It dose not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.It is patriotic to suport him insofar as he efficienty serves the country.It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country Theodore Roosevely

Excellent post libertyundrfire.
Yes open trade with Cuba. Just not the kind of trade we have with China where they send full boats and receive empty boats. Definitely make travel easier epecially if the Cubans can freely travel here as well, and seek asylum.
Just quit praising a Dictator and know who we are dealing with. Will we have to worry about them bringing their politics with them? If they come here seeking the freedom we have then probably not. I worry that forgetting why we had an embargo with them in the first place will lead to open arms to their Dictator and not their people. We must embrace their people but their dictator will fully embrace our politicians for good face. I guess that makes me a right-winger thinking that dictatorships and all of the controls they use to drown out the people is bad, so be it.
can we say treason? I think every military family who ever fought for Americas freedom should be very upset.Because or freedoms are slowly being taken away by this treasonist antichrist
Treason is exactly what they are guilty of but then again, half (that may be a low estimate) of DC now falls into that category and we have a bunch of brain dead robots walking around not seeing any of this. I guess this is the Stupor spoken of in the Bible. It doesn't just mean blind to the truth about God and who we are but to everything.
I would like to know who paid for this! Who paid for these retired black congress people to go to Cuba. I hope the United States taxpayers did not! Can anyone answer my question. I hope I didn't help get them there. We work our butts off and the government spends our hard earned money on themselves. Why is there a black retired congress club? What if we wanted a white retired congress club…oh no that would be racist! Tea Time
of course the american taxpayer paid for it. look at the article again,. this does not say the congress people were retired, it as castro was a retired leader
Give ANY minority the chance to better themselves thru capitalism and they will ALWAYS outshine ANYONE that subscribes to the victim mentality. Most Liberals don't truly care about the success of the minority. They care about what will keep them in power. Jesse Jackson and the like care only about the next opportunity they can use to get them more power and money. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM. Disgusting.
Black Caucus. Thats a joke. They are simply another arm of the liberal agenda to keep minorities bowing at the feet of those politicians that will keep the entitlements coming in return for their votes to keep them in power. Who is surprised that they are visiting a country that openly supresses their own people. When are people going to realize that the liberal agenda is NOT to level the playing field but to keep the minorities OFF the playing field by simply treating them as if they are to STUPID (excuse me….suppressed) to be able to fend for themselves in a capitalist society. As long as the liberals can make the minority feel as though they have no shot at becoming successful because of the evil white man, they can keep them on the government handout plantation and therefore will stay in power because they are too afraid to vote against the hand that feeds them.
Right on the money crimsontrace.
The black caucus is one of the most powerful groups in congress because if any one disagrees with them for any non racial reason they get the racist label.
I agree that they use the race card to shame the media into agreeing with them. What makes them dangerous is that they have caucus members chairing committees. Can you imagine a member of the caucus of communist sympathizers leading the home land security committee? Bennie Thompson (D) second district Mississippi is a past president of the communist caucus.
They get away with placing the racist label because people wear it like an albatross when it is placed on their necks.
If we will openly speak with communists, what message does that send to our allies?? What is their to speak about??
It is appeasement buckeyes2187, plain and simple. Surely you realize that.
Take care.
I suggest these Politicians who think Castro and his wife are nice people then they should be sent to Cuba to live with Castro. Doesn't anyone remember the horrible acts Castro and his army did to their own people. Why are people trying to escape from Cuba? You don't see American's trying to escape from the United States. Let's just bow to everyone who wants a piece of us!

There is no need to post this dreck on every link on the site.
With all due respect, Glenn Beck is not allowed to talk about the real evidence. He has covered up the truth about a very serious issue, and attempted to smear the reputation of millions of patriots who have legitimate concerns.
What are these people visiting dictators, and I assume on tax payer's money? When are we going to start suspending these people's passports? They love rubbing shoulders with people that hate American. This in my opinion is treason and they should be removed from office immediately.
LET US START A WHITE CAUCAUS AND YOU WILL HEAR SCREAMS AND PROTESTS ABOUT WHAT ELSE?'
RACISM. . IF IT'S OK FOR THEM THEN IT IS OK FOR US. THEY WANT TO DIVIDE THE COUNTRY, WELL
SO BE IT. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU WE WILL NOT BE TRAVELING TO CUBA AND ITS RUTHLESS
DICTATOR. EVERYWHERE THEY WENT WAS VERY NICE. FOOD, CARS, HAPPY SMILING FACES.
DON'T THEY KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL PUT ON SO EVERYONE IN THE CAUCAUS COULD "SEE" HOW
"GOOD" IT IS DOWN THERE..WHAT A BUNCH OF NAIVE, STUPID MORONS.
I think we should start one since maybe that will get us on the news in the mainstream media:) They have become such propaganda and distraction machines that it is hard to believe that anyone believes their actually reporting the news anymore. Their is more coverage on what Michelle Obama is wearing than the black caucus reporting on how wonderful the Castro family is in Cuba or her husband bowing before a muslim king. But Lord knows we better make a princess out of the American Hating First Lady. This is almost surreal – someone pinch me so I can wake up from this nightmare!
Why is it you, StandForTruth, have to keep posting the same commen more than one timet! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! State your position, post it, then get on with your life please! This blogs gets so jammed up with people repeating the same thing over and over! STOP THE INSANITY! We get your point!
I'm glad your the watch dog of this sight otherwise who would be able to know when they screw up! Your anger is so justified and validated I can see why you are going insane.
Before you go, I have a couple of books to recommend to you to prepare you for your Cuban travel. I'm reading this book right now. ISBN# 1595230521. I ordered this book yesterday and hope to get it in the next 2 weeks: ISBN# 0895260433. Happy reading and Bon Voyage.
PS:
I also recommend this book: ISBN# 1935071602. I haven't ordered this yet but it looks like a fascinating read and I hope to order it soon. Don't forget your sunblock and your mosquito repellent.
I just LOVE your choice of books…he should enjoy them very much…especially the first one, I just love the name and it describes him so well!
Well thank you. I always believe in reading up on the destination & its culture before travelling out of the country. No sense in being caught off guard. ;-]
Obama bowed to the Saudi King and gave Queen Elizabeth an Ipod.THE PRESIDENT OF THE US SHOULD NOT BOW TO ANYONE.Watch his actions folks, he wants all to be commies.
The word says bad company corrupts good morals,I wish to extend my apoligizes to the cuban people.
Did anyone watch the video of Rep. Richardson? PATHETIC. Also, quite disturbing. I think she needs to re-visit the socialist paradise and recieve some electroshock therapy to correct her insanity. She can say hi to Elian Gonzales while she's there.
Can you define stupid? Congressional Black Caucus
This new administration is every Fascist/Progressive's "Dream come True". They were more excited than a small child on Christmas morning while describing to the media what took place on the visit. How touching when they told us how " He looked us in the eye and asked what he could do to help". Maybe soon they can reach out to bin laden and we can all feel warm and fuzzy.
Of course he wants to help. Castro can see what half the American public is too blind to see. We are all about to become slaves to the administration.
I wonder if they have the nerve to look into the eyes of Cubans that have family murdered by this, being a Christian prevents me from saying the adjective I have for Castro. And yes I am a Cuban American, and yes I'm one of the ones that had family members thrown in jail for disagreeing with the government.
I find the comments by these 3 congressmen not nearly as disturbing as what is going through the minds of the people in their districts who continue to re-elect them.
Just a short observation on this comic trip….anyone wanna guess how much time these politicians have spent with their constituents since getting elected ? yet they have time to cuddle up with a dictator and praise him sigh people will never get it.
You are so right, so many of our elected officials spend the last 1/2 of the office trying to get elected, and once they do, they leave their own districts to pay attention to "More Important Matters". What ever happened to fighting for the people who got you elected?
They will always find time for a photo shoot tho…
I am shocked how many people are supporting in the USA dictatorship/ communism/Marxism , etc…. and it seems to me that I can not even get them to understand what this would mean in a day to day life.
The only suggestions I have now is ,please move to Russia, Cuba, or so for one year and live there without our $$$. Then come back and you might comment.
When I found out from my stepson that the teachers in the Universities are teaching and supporting all above,and are condemning capitalism, while taking the money of the parents to pay for all the wages. I am still thinking about contacting the Dean and get some answers.
Don't think about it any longer—Do It!!!
We cannot afford to NOT act any longer. Too much has already been lost by lack of action.
Make your voice heard. Our education system from the ground up is about indoctrinating our kids to accept viewpoints or agendas. It has long passed being about education. It's about raising generations of dumbed down followers. We must respond and be heard. Just imagine how much our kids have been taught that we have no idea about. It's one reason my children do not attend public schools. The other of course being that God is not "allowed" there. Contact the Dean…
It used to be that only our universities taught socialist propaganda but now it is taught from kindergarten up. Obama also wants to create a National Pre-school system which I'm sure is just a way to indoctrinate our kids at an even earlier age. Parents need to do their best to put their kids in private schools, home school, or if your church has a school of it's own then that may be an option too. My brother's wife is a stay-at-home mom for the very reason to home school their daughter to protect her from public school brainwashing. If all conservatives did this then the public schools would have so few students left that many would have to shut down and it would help break the leftist teachers unions too. Pick your kids colleges well by doing your homework on their curriculum and who the professors are!
They should stay there,see how cuba is to americans, we all would be better off.They are talking about churches they should get obama to join one ,now you know why he didnt hear wright knock america ,he wassnt there .
I'm Irish, that's why I used the example.The Irish wereoppressed in their own country, there language was outlawed, their land stolen and even their religion was opposed. When they came to the states, they couldn't find jobs, there were signs \”Irish need not apply\” yet, they learned, and adapted. They didn't play the victim card, they studied, worked and even became president. Now, on the other side, we have a group who have been taught that if you don't ahead its whitey's fault, Not that you have to study and learn. They are taught that if yell racist you will scare whitey and he will bow to your wishes, some have taken this to a profession. If that does work, riot, loot and burn things, then yell police brutelly and you'll get \”guilty\” whiteys on your side and you'll get what you want, best part you don't have to work for it. Its ok for them to be racists, they call us honkys and other things, but get if we say certain words….you're a racist. I don't believe in double standards, Now, they have a socialst in the WH and he believes in spreading the wealth, so why work, we'll get what we want from mean old whitey. Ain't socialism great, until they run out of other people's money.
Spain considering action against Americans. That is a one (1) world government. Their motto."down with America".
They heaped praise on a MASS MURDERER…Does this tell anyone how far down the ladder we have fallen??
Our LEADERS praising a ruthless dictator and no one asks for them to step down…
I will…. STEP DOWN YOU MORONS! You embrace a killer and still want to lead our Nation?
Screw you!!!
While they were there, (Fidel says this in a newspaper article) one of the Black CAucus mentioned how America is still so racist. They denied it of course even though the former black panther Bobbie Rush said it a few weeks back when Burris was not being accepted as A Senator fast enough. It seems every democrat who leaves our country is not happy till they tell everyone how bad it is. I agree with the above comment they should move there one days visit is not enough!
Glad to see Bobby Rush and his "Band of Clowns" Tour has made it to and from Cuba to meet the other clown troupe the " Castro Brothers". Any guess who made the "America is still rascist "remark? He must have written it on a que card, because you can't understand anything he mumbles!
"Somalian Pirates" its a cool word for TERRORIST… treat them like terrorists and decimate them and their bases…. i would like to see some bold action from our President. i can see him now in front of the class raising his hand to the teacher, his beloved United (corrupt) Nations, begging for sanctions against "Pirates"…. just something to make the world step back for a second. the way i see it, they attacked the American Flag, cruise missile should send a good message to their "motherboat" or what ever they hide in…
O.K. we have the Black Caucus telling us Fidel and his brother are nice grandfatherly men who are just waiting to reach out the hand of kindness to our new presidenta. First of all in an interview the Caucus said everything they saw was wonderba, the baptist church, the catholic church, etc. Did they ask to speak to any political prisoners, to ask why their people are still trying to get out and those who left aren't in a hurry to get back? Bobby Rush a member of the black caucus and a former black panther leader told Castro that in Bobby's home Fidel is known as"the ultimate survivor". Does this man know this man murdered 17,000 cubans and several dozen american citizens, thousands of homosexuals were sent to concentration camps, racism in cuba is systemic and institutional,blacks are systematically excluded from jobs that are tourism related? What a nice guy. He asked them about doctor King, ask him about Jorge Luis Garcia Perez, who was imprisoned and tortured for 17 years, he was a black man who opposed Castro's regime. No they were too busy fawning. Give me a break!
If you read body language our Sec. of St. is saying I could really care less, I am way to important for this foolishness. Her words of course say something quite different. Our gov is inifectual and the world knows it. So its going to be a free for all globally. At least we did have a Texan to keep things under some control. He could have done much better but at least we had him for awhile. We are in deep doo doo. No leadership at all.
I would like to see an African American leader publicly encourage those of his race to get on their knees and thank the good Lord for the sacrifice, shame, degradation and ridicule their ancestors had to tolerate. The result of which has them in the greatest, most prosperous country in the history of this planet.
If the United States is so bad where is it better than here? Our poor do not know what poverty is. Our hungry do not know what true hunger is. Our uneducated have been given numerous opportunities to learn. Anyone who has traveled to countries in Africa or South America know what poor and oppression is.
However, I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck these buffoons that visited Cuba will be re-elected.
Looks like Obama is grooming Castro to be his VP running mate next term, or maybe he wants lesson on how to be a good dictator and abuse his people properly
Caller: You said everybody knows Cuba is a Hell-Hole. Michael Moore said they have the best healthcare in the world, and Obama-supporter-types believe it. We find out that 84% of their food is imported.
Rush: There are reasons: they do not have a free market, and they must export much of their food because they have no money. Purpose of the embargo of 1962 by JFK: Fidel chose up with USSR. It has not worked in 50 years. To say it is because of our US embargo is so erroneous. Britain and China trade with them. Everyone but the USA trades with them, but they have little to trade because of Communism.
Rush: Cuba is what it is because of the Castro family. His regime takes all of the money. It is a plantation run by despots. They keep opposing citizens in prison.
Have we forgotten that there seems to be a human rights issue in Cuba that Castro should address? Poverty, prostitution and alcoholism is a way of life. Education is for the elite. Speaking out against the government is forbidden. I have a great respect for Castro and his role in the Revolution to free his country. I also believe he was backed into many corners by the CIA, Kennedy and the Soviets.
I agree the travel embargo on Cuba served its purpose. The situation with Cuba is different now. However there needs to be caution. Let’s remember Kennedy started this in the early 60's during the cold war with Russia. I am not a Kennedy fan and believe the Bay of Pigs should have be handled differently and lets not forget that Cuba was being controlled by the American mafia prior to the Cuban Revolution.
what mafia is running our country? i rather have the american mafia running the us then the jerks that are running it now! at least they put country first! and doubt they would sell out our country the way obama is.
You are right! Kennedy sold the Cubans out. He was afraid of the Russians.
I'd prefer the mafia to the communists.
You have to remember, that some people are raised to hate ane fear others. When you are raised, hearing nothing but the bad stuff, that is all you know, is the bad stuff. Many Americans never look outside their box, at the whole picture. For some reason, they never have the chance to open their eyes. Castro had many bad views of America, but he also viewed the passion and compassion of the American people. Castro is an atheist and has not been a practicing Roman Catholic since his childhood. Pope John XXIII excommunicated Castro on January 3, 1962 on the basis of a 1949 decree by Pope Pius XII forbidding Catholics from supporting communist governments. Just as Hitler also has ties with the Catholics.
If you look deep, at the formation of the Catholic government, they ARE a dictatorship, with a leader who is in control, until his death. They redistribute the wealth as they see fit, and share only with those in their own community.
Some people are taught to love and forgive thy neighbors, in religious terms. And Some people just don't get it.
So we are now deflecting the real argument to start bashing the Catholics? WOW. I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church, but what does this really have to do with anything being discussed here?
To forgive your neighbour is a personal term, and does not apply to nations. You might want to learn a little theology before you start to argue Biblical terms and definitions.
The government does not bear the sword for no account, as God instituted nations and governments to defend the people that they govern. Castro does not protect his people, he punishes them with little freedom, and little chance to change and make their own destiny. That makes him a thug, and thugs deserve the bullet, if they don't change their oppressive ways. If he doesn't get the bullet, he will most certainly see justice beyond the veil for his acts of murder and suppression of freedom for his people, even if he doesn't believe in the God he will soon face.
Go live in Cuba you moron…Let's see if they will treat you well. Let's see how much food you get to eat. Live there for a couple of years and come back and tell us it's a paradise…You retard!
You really make us all laugh. You probably work for our new Marxist leader right here in America but you may want to take notice, we are not going down without a fight and we are the producers, the real talent and the true creative thinkers in this country. Did I mention brave men and women with conviction to keeping our Country the way it was founded? Do you even know the percentage of the population that actually fought our Revolutionary War?
Man, you trolls are unreal. Seriously, do you have NOTHING else to do besides spew your garbage? This type of garbage is exactly what everyone on this site is tired of.
If this isn't attempt to infiltrate this site and cause problems,This traveller guy is a commie and should get his wish and go to Cuba.
So….what if the 'bad stuff' is that the guy tortures, executes, limits freedom of expression, press, assembly and movement with no due process? As well as befriends every other oppressive regime he can find? I guess that 'bad stuff' just needs to be overlooked because he makes a fine cigar? Please, open your eyes and notice the true character through his own history not because he can be friendly to visiting useful idiots. THAT is the whole picture.
Not sure where you were going with the Catholics, but…whatever.
Not to say there isn't a difference of degree, but your first sentence reads like a description of G. W. Bush's America.
Don't even bother replying to that idiot – Jeffty, what a cute little name. Laugh and look forward to the day when patriots and reason are the law of the land again. Besides, God is the ultimate judge and if we could only be a fly on the wall when they realize HE does exist. I feel sorry for them (only for a second though). LOL
Wow, you are a well indoctrinated traveller aren't you?
So, no mention by you of how Castro slaughtered his opposition? No mention of how he had nukes pointed at the USA? No mention of slave labor camps?
Nice Job.
I don't make those statements, because America has the same History, in many aspects. Slave labor camps, we have nukes pointed at other countries, and our politicians attempt to assasinate(with words) each other. America has kept Cuba in the 18th century, by restricting trade and commerce. If Cuba can become Free like America(after all, we don't like other countries, trying to control us), maybe we should talk to them, again.
Americans will fight, any Country who tries to steal, its lands. Just think of the other weaker countries, who are being taken, by stronger countries, all over the world.
I have a friend…he grew up in Cuba, he's about 46 and when he turned 14 his family had him fake being crazy so that they wouldn't send him to serve in the Army at 15…he kept playing crazy until they managed to make their escape with the Marielitos…
If he read your post and then you stood in front of him you'd find out what the people of Cuba really think about the castros and their system…it wouldn't be pretty, this guy is the nicest of guys until you mention castro…
A little tip that may save you some trouble: I would recommenced you don't say the stupid things you say in front of anyone that grew up in Cuba under castro…I'm just saying…
To forgive another, is not the same as forgetting. We will always know what Castro and Bush have done. How does America go on telling other countries how to act, when turmoil in our own country, is ignored by Republican Leaders. Republican Leaders, have always choosen to fight the War abroad, rather than fight the War in America. The War on Bigitry, Greed, Hate , and Fear.
I remember when the Good message of the Bible, meant something. Today, Fear Mongers only spread the Fear and Hate of the Bible.
You are not very educated about what you are writing about!! You will think I'm just making this up but if you want to look it up, unlike Cuba, feel free.. The Republicans were the party responsible for passing the Civil Rights Legislation not the Democrats. Lincoln was a Republican and he got the Emancipation Legislation passed, that was to make slavery illegal. So you saying Republicans have ALWAYS chosen to fight the war abroad is just ludicrous on top of that every major conflict that has been fought in history by the U.S. the party in charge of the Executive branch, that's the President, was always a Democrat. WWI- Woodrow Wilson, WWII- FDR, Korea- Truman, Vietnam- JFK & LBJ. Up until Iraq no Republican ever got the U.S. involved in a major conflict.
You are probably the dumbest, most ignorant, and Bush-deranged person I have ever heard. Try making sure your brain is engaged before shifting your mouth into gear…
Interesting how the people (liberals, athiests, far left, aclu supporters) who don't believe in God, are the first ones to bring God up when trying to have a debate with Christians. In elementary terms……you can't pick and chose which laws, commandments, etc. to abide by, in a Bible that you never read. If you actually read it once in awhile, there wouldn't be so many rediculous posts here from the left. Point is……if you don't understand something, just say so, but please stop trying to change the meaning.
Have you ever heard of Catholic Charities. DAAAA
You sound very confused….On one hand you say Pope Pius XII excommunicated Castro and then tied this into Hitler and Catholics. The Catholic has nothing to do with Cuba and Castro. Castro does not allow ANY religion and was and is today a dictator. Also there are many Catholic charities. I think your Catholic bashing seems to be kinda of out there in relation to the Castro discussion. Sorry you have had such a bad experience.
I do believe there is a difference between Cuba and the Church, biggest one I see is that in Cuba, you publicly go against Castro or Communism, you die. In the Church, you don't like the Church you may leave.
Actually, many Cubans and Cuban-Americans in the US favor normalization of relations with Cuba.
"Many Cubans and Cuban-americans in the U.S. favor normalization or relations with Cuba"!!!???!!?!? DUH!
Ah, I see… many Cubans LIVING IN THE US and Cuban-Americans favor normalization of relations with Cuba.
Not all Cubans favor the embargo, as sometimes claimed.
Well Jeffty, "many" is a relative term. When you say "many" Cuban-Americans do you mean 15% as shown in recent polls of Cuban-Americans? Or….when you say "normalization" do you mean when asked the question, "Do you wish relations with Cuba would normalize so you would be able to see your family members in Cuba?" a majority of Cuban-Americans said "yes?" Who would say no? The fact of the matter is that although everyone would like to see their families in Cuba, most Cuban-Americans see this dictator as a dictator and still despise him and the regime.
So, all you're saying is that you can favor normalization without loving the regime: apply that to Obama.
Why dont we make a trade for the people who want out and the Libs that want to normalize trade? I say we ship your carcass in there first…How about that???
Methinks you would have a different opinion of Fidel and Raul in about a week…
Thanks for the tip. I'll spare you a reality based response.
"Many Cubans and Cuban-americans in the U.S. favor normalization of relations with Cuba"!!!???!!?!? DUH!
I know many Cubans and NOT ONE is favor of any relations with Castro. Where are you from Jeffty? Mars?
Me too…some people are too stupid for words!
Many of my neighbors in Puerto Rico were expatriates and NONE would favor anything that would benefit castro. I know people who's parents left with things put inside shoe heels, diplomas, some jewelry but nothing else. I know people that left after, many years after, when their family could gather enough to pay for them to go through Panama. I know a marielito that was sent here because he was "crazy" so he was let go…ALL these people managed to pull themselves by the boot straps and became successful here in America.
NONE would favor it and MANY would just shoot the guy dead if they had him in front of them.
Actually, many Americans dont give a crap what Cubans or hyphenated Cuban/ Americans favor. What Americans favor is a body of elected officials that understand history so they do not doom us to repeat it.
My thoughts & prayers are w/ all of the Sailors on board. If the Account of the Captain being held hostage is accurate then I hope for a speedy & safe release. Re: BO taking any action it seems highly unlikely because the people in danger right now are Americans! I find it really disturbing that the White House has been so slow to react but not surprising. I think the people in charge are not able to make any decisions that would be to the benefit of OUR COUNTRYMEN they seem to be so concerned with those who are not Americans. Also judging by their new attitude toward some evil Dictators they will only take action if it is to the benefit of the Somali pirates. My guess they are preparing a contingency right now to extend their friendship to the Somalians..
Seriously???? With all the issues we face domestically, this is what the Congressional Black Congress finds to be important? It’s no wonder our government can get anything done!
By the way, I didn’t see any comments on how much it cost the Congressional Black Congress to go visit the oh so worldly Castro… What foolishness, this really needs to stop!!!!!!
1. These people never have been able to read, watch documentaries or listen to the thousands of people that know of the atrocities that this regime committed. (Deaf, mute and blind)
2. They are able to read, watch documentaries and listen to those thousands, but choose not to believe that any of it's true. (Ignorant)
3. They have read, watched documentaries and listened to those thousands, but maintain that in a social revolution some will have to be brought in line (i.e., we know better then you). (Treason)
Take your pick of 1, 2 or 3. Deaf, mute and blind – Ignorant – Traitor.
They are 7 people (out of all the House members), They do not speak for me, nor anyone I know. Common sense has been abandoned by these people. Yet they are given coverage in the media which the ignorant will then say, Oh yea let's send some more US Dollars to yet another country that doesn't like us.
This stuff makes me mad as hell. See you at the tea parties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee and others heaped praise on Castro, calling him warm and receptive during their discussion. *HEAPED PRAISE* on a DICTATOR that is friends with every communist country in the world!!!! They should all be fired
While they were there, (Fidel says this in a newspaper article) one of the Black CAucus mentioned how America is still so racist. They denied it of course even though the former black panther Bobbie Rush said it a few weeks back when Burris was not being accepted as A Senator fast enough. It seems every democrat who leaves our country is not happy till they tell everyone how bad it is. I agree with the above comment they should move there , one days visit is not enough!
I was hoping that the "racist" label could never be used in the US once we had peacefully elected a black president. Now if you even disagree with ANYTHING the president says, you're immediately "racist". I think it's gotten a lot worse instead of better. How you can call it racist when we complain about the president giving out too much money is beyond me! Isn't Bobbie Rush the person writing the Gun Ban? It's nice that a Black Panther can have so much power over innocent, law-abiding citizens.
It irks me to know that the US is going to give away its strength to play appeaser. We, who are strong, now have to give up our strength in an effort to be liked? You posts shows well what trying to be liked leads to. I'm seriously worried for this country.
Most of Obama's friends are terrorists and tax cheats. Does it really surprise you to know that he likes dictators also? He would have "hung" out with Hussein if Hussein hadn't already been hanged.
I suppose you have some evidence for this ludicrous accusation? Oh, that's right. Things like 'evidence' and 'reality' are irrelevant to the lunatic right.
I'm proud to be in the "lunatic" right, if that's what you want to call it. I'd call your group the "lunatic" WRONG!
Watch the news, read the paper, Guy if you need proof spelled out now your not paying attention.
That is so right on!!! I can just see Obama sitting down with Hussein and his two sons in one of his 19 mansions talking about how they should just continue to torture and build up weapons because America has done bad things in the past too. Good thing somebody with half a brain blew the blank out of that evil!
I agree with you! Only Obama would be asking him questions about how HE himself can be a dictator.
What is scary is we knew Obama pals around with terrorists and still elected him.I have never seen such a full frontal assault by the media to change power.We still let them get away with it.
If Barry would just get the politicians to pay taxes and quit sending dead fish to people,we could probably fix this mess.
It seems like "getting this fixed" means we end up with a fascist country with a dictator as our "president." Unfortunately, China or Russia will undoubtedly take us over shortly after Obama bankrupts the entire country. I'm not seeing any happy endings at this point.
I noticed not one of those who went were Cuban or hispanic for that matter
