While the butchers in La Habana continue their bloody work, they also find there is no shortage of useful idiots willing to prop up their image:
IN AN INTERNATIONAL FIRST, DIRECTOR OF Cuban AUTO MUSEUM

They call it "car guy" diplomacy, and never mind reality, because:

The evil of communism exposed

If you missed Glenn Beck's  groundbreaking special on the roots of socialism and communism and the evil that followed, you can watch it here on Fox, the network hated by left.

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.

"We have to learn to forgive. I take off my hat to people who, with so [...]

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

The slob and the dictator

Here's another example of  lunacy, via The National Review's Marc Thiessen, Michael Moore as speechwriter for a dictator.

Hannity then told Moore that he wanted to show [...]

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 [...]

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?
Click the image to enlarge:

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 [...]

Message to Juanes: How’s this for talk?

According to an AP article ,  Juanes wrote on Twitter, referring to Cubans separated by the 90 miles, “Don't you think it would be good that they talk after 50 years?" 
You have to wonder if this dimwitted useful idiot ever leaves the house, not to mention television and radio. Here's a clue, there are a large [...]

End the Cuba embargo, trade with a tyrant!

Leading Cuban dissident Darsi Ferrer is now in a maximum-security prison, supposedly for illegally purchasing construction material, iron bars he was planning to use to secure his home.
Are we still supposed to believe that it is the U.S. embargo against Cuba that is hurting the people? Because it looks to me that it is [...]

Should the New York Philharmonic travel to entertain dictators?

There are millions of exiled Cubans who can answer that question.

Mehta said the orchestra is concentrating on people rather than politicians: "We just want to come and play music and [...]

CNN’s Jim Acosta visits Cuba, ignores political prisoners

President Lying Hypocrite

Presidential hopeful Barrack Hussein Obama, May, 2008, in Miami for Cuba's Independence Day "ceremonies":
