You'd think that 51 years of barbaric tyranny would be enough to capture world opinion. I came across these powerful words written to free Mandela; change a few of them and they more than apply to Cuba, except of course that there is NO international campaign to free Cuba's political prisoners, or to liberate [...]

In fact, he is a typical lefty wuss. A pampered elite who has made a fortune spreading universal alarm about global warning, which as many of us knew all along is a false theory based on junk science. Now that the house that Al built is about to crumble, where is Mr. Global Warming?
Hiding out [...]

And not only does the Obama administration know this to be a fact, but they are brazenly lying to the American public, and the rest of the world, to forward their own political agenda.
Michelle Malkin completely and utterly shreds the entire Global warming Climate Clique, right here. It is not only a thing of absolute [...]

Throughout the years, I have met some interesting folks. I’ve met several famous politicians, governors, senators, congressmen, etc., I have also met some American Presidents as well, George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Bush the Elder I met when he spoke at my University in 1988. I met Bill Clinton, the candidate, [...]

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:
When Ideology Blinds Reason
And no, this post is not about Castronomics.
It's [...]

Now that Bush is gone, and we have the Peace Messiah occupying the White House, Albor Ruiz' breathless anticipation of the lifting of all travel restrictions to Cuba is palpable. He envisions a Cuba swarming with American tourists, never mind the recalcitrant anti-casto lobby.
Sadly, he doesn't mention the millions of Cubans held captive on the island gulag [...]

Growing up in Cuba ,one of the things that caught my eye was the great visuals provided by the revolution, (pun intended).There wasn’t any food or clothing or toilet paper, but there was always visually stunning propaganda to wrap up the crap sandwich they were force feeding the “masses”, as they liked to call us.
Leftists, [...]

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 [...]

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?

Former president Carter, anti-Semite, and lover of dictators, is a lying hypocrite.
From Kerry Picket of the Washington Times:
Flashback Video: Carter referred to Obama as 'this black boy'
Former President Jimmy Carter is throwing his two cents in on Congressman Joe Wilson's (R-S.C.) outburst on the House floor last week. Mr. Carter is calling Mr. Wilson's "you [...]

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?
Click the image to enlarge:
The link to his Twitter post is here.
And here is a copy of his post with the link to Amnesty's Web Site telling his readers to fill it the form and [...]

From the Washington Times:
A month after they voted to punish some corporate executives for taking hefty bonus payouts, members of the House of Representatives quietly gave their own staffers a new potential bonus by making even their top-earning aides eligible for taxpayer dollars to repay their student loans.
The change, which took effect in May, means [...]

As another sign of the Greg "let's appease Latin American dictators, especially Castro" Craig, the US has unilaterally made another concession towards Cuba by turning off the news ticker in Havana. The truth pissed off the Cuban Government and since the US doesn't care about reform in Cuba, the Obama administration continues to appease [...]

Kendrick Meek, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Albio Sires, Lincoln Diaz-Balart, Mario Diaz-Balart, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, all members of the Congressional Cuba Democracy Caucus, have stepped up to the plate on behalf of Cuban political prisoner Ariel Sigler Amaya. The lack of action by other members of Congress, as well as international Human Rights organizations, and the [...]

As I noted yesterday, that the BS Artist in Chief once again screwed over gay servicemen and servicewomen by supporting "Don't Ask Don't Tell" before the US Supreme Court, in today's Time.com, James Pietrangelo II, the former Army infantryman and lawyer whose case the high court declined to review has this memorable quote [...]

From the beginning of his campaign, his Highness Obama said he would eliminate the moronic "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy that prohibits willing men and women who wish to serve their country and put their lives on the line for their country simply because of their sexual orientation.
The President can eliminate the policy with a [...]

Howdy infidels.
I can't help but pee in my shorts from laughing at the news stories, the blog stories, and the editorials out there, almost exclusively from those on the left, and those who want to suck up to the left, on the issue of the new "Latina" Supreme Court Nominee.
This is the spin from [...]

Police state, anyone?
WASHINGTON — President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a “preventive detention” system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants [...]
