Logic applied to Cuba

Contrary to all the misleading Cuban propaganda masquerading as news, Cuba has been a major player against America and a major informer for the Leftist-Communist countries whose main goal and major intent is to destroy any pro-Democracy form of government. To think otherwise is illogical.

Let reason shine through

When it comes to Communist dictators, whether from radicals within the Obama administration, do-gooder useful idiots, or the ideologically challenged, all reason seems to disappear.
Read Capital Hill Cuban's reaction to Chilean-born novelist and Duke University Professor of Literature, Vladimiro Ariel Dorfman’s advice to President Obama:

Gabriel García Márquez: Spy for Cuba

Surprise, surprise, Gabo was working for fidel.  Declassified documents from Mexico's Federal Direction of Mexican Security (DFS), name the Nobel winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez, as an agent of propaganda to the service of the Direction of Cuban Intelligence beginning in 1967.

From Público.es:
'Gabo', el gran espía cubano

What’s a “Latino” and where did they come from?

Are you sick and tired of the inescapable groupthink impersonal racist politically correct labels seemingly applied to everything in our society?

Let’s call a spade-a-spade: The hypocrisy of Delahunt & Co.

Capital Hill Cubans rips six members of Congress for their hypocritical letter threatening Honduras:
The letter signed by Representatives Bill Delahunt, James McGovern, Sam Farr, Gregory Meeks, Janice Schakowsky, and Xavier Becerra stresses that,
"Unless the coup is ended, President Zelaya is restored, and violations of democracy and human rights are halted, no presidential election conducted in [...]

Bringing together Marxist and Islamic Terrorists

Evil is as evil does, so it's no surprise to read about Zelaya's and his thug in chief, David Romero Ellner's anti-Semitism. This cancerous ideology is a point of solidarity between Marxists, (including radical leftist Jews blind to the inevitable consequence of their support– sacrifice of Israel), and Islamic Terrorists. Read this excellent article from [...]

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

As we continue to slide into the abyss…

They lit up The Empire State Building in Red and Yellow to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The People’s Republic of China last night.
We’re not really celebrating fried rice, fortune cookies  and cheap flat - panel TV's here.
We’re celebrating a system that has mass murdered MILLIONS.
Nobody’s even sure [...]

No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

It's common knowledge, at least to those that understand the laws of the marketplace, that there’s “no such thing as a free lunch.”
But in the socialist worker’s paradise of Cuba, apparently there has been a “free” lunch to go along with the “free” education and healthcare. Really.
Unfortunately though, the “free” lunch is coming to an [...]

Danny Glover: spokesman for the slavemaster

If I were in the DC area, I'd be out with a poster of Dr. Biscet and other Afro-Cuban political prisoners.   What say you Danny boy, don't you think your Cuban brothers deserve freedom and human rights the same as you enjoy?

Juanes not political? Liar!

If he's apolitical, then why did he use Twitter to urge his fans  to join Amnesty International's campaign against Obama extending the embargo?

Wallet alert

Congress to America: Shut up and hand over your cash.
In case you missed it because it was released late Friday, House Democrats announced that they will seek a massive $540 billion tax increase to help pay for Obama's healtcare plan.

Commie love fest in Venice

One young Venezuelan woman I spoke with at last Friday's "No Más Chávez" rally in Los Angeles works for Agéncia EFE.  Her brother disappeared 10 months ago and the family is unable to obtain any information about what happened to him.

Bill Ayers: Unregistered foreign agent?

Accuracy in Media has a great piece on Ayers' anti-American activities. Here's the first part:

Revisiting Hollywood’s fascination with dictators

I think most of us have seen this, but it remains timely, and worth a second viewing:

Obama honors American-hater Mrs. Robinson

Once again, President Obama's choice reveals an anti-American, anti-democracy ideology.  Last fall voters ignored his radical associations, and chose instead to vote for change they wanted to believe in.  Now we have a president who not only has sided with enemy dictators,  he is now awarding our nations highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom to [...]
