More home video of a lovely holiday in Cuba. Notice how they are talking to dissidents about their important work and how they discuss the merits of representative democracy with people on the streets.
I don’t know about you guys but watching that video infuriates me. These people are frolicking in a country that was STOLEN from the Cuban people. Stolen from our parents, from out grandparents and yes STOLEN from the Cubans still on the island.
I went to the video poster’s link and I see that he’s from Australia. No surprise there considering that Australia is not that different from Canada in it’s pro-Castro, anti-Americanism. By the way, these are the types of jerks who would call Cuban Americans from Miami, “right winged fascists,” and accuse us of being exploiters who want to go back to Cuba to take back our plantations.
Ah, the power of the human mind to rationalize its actions. These people somehow, someway, don’t see themselves as exploiters.
Typical, narrowly-focused, ignorant commoners who could care two shits about the Cuban people. All they care about is what pleasures they can personally extract from the visit. As I was told once by a visitor, “Havana is one big whore-house at night”, that’s all their simple, sick minds can comprehend. What’s really infuriating are the policymakers, and those that influence it, supporting this stuff as a way to bring democracy to Cuba. Henry, you said it well, I don’t see them discussing “the merits of representative democracy with people on the streets.”
Have they no shame!? Partying like that?
It pains me to see them indulge themselves in the country that was supposed to be our birthright. Watching this feels as if burglars took over your house and then rented it out to other people.
How come the people-to-people contacts for democracy are limited to Cuba? Let’s send these merrymakers next to North Korea via Iran and see how much they accomplish on behalf of democracy there.
