Now more than ever I feel so proud of this man Antunez and his sister and all the repressed and oppresesed people in my Cuba.
Hold your heads high, as Mas canosa used to say so simply, “this argument we are going to win becuse we are right and they are wrong.”
There seems to be an uneding chain of fools that go to Cuba to postrate themselves at the feet of this common tyrant, Fidel/Raul. Shame on them. To go to Cuba without asking for human rights inspections of all jails and without talking to dissidents is insulting, and a shame.

Now, finally. THIS is something the Obama administration should be appologizing for!

As a Cuban American I am very honored that this woman has tried to reach the Black Caucus with such a dignifying letter written and sent from Cuba of his brother who is one of the black men fighting for liberty and justice. In Cuba we have fought for 50 years white and blacks, men and women.
Many have been assasinated by this two brother’s tirany and it’s a shame to the U.S. that these people have gone to meet with two dictators and not even take their time to speak with the real cubans, the ones who are suffering and trying to bring liberty to Cuba again. It’s really a shame….

Obama’s friendly dealings with the “socialists of the XXI century” (communists) who are destroying Latin America is a slap on the face of all U.S. friends in Latin America, who have been struggling to defend their countries from tyrany and used to see the U.S. as an ally.

And the visits of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to the criminal Castro brothers is another slap on the face to the U.S. and to all U.S. friends in Latin America.

I guess all this unimaginable anti-U.S. and anti-freedom behaviour was to be expected with Obama, a U.S. hating Marxist.

What a proper reaction to the CBC’s unfortunate trip to Cuba. The advocates couldnt have said it better. Martin Luther King must be rolling over in his grave. His life and work seem to have been wasted on these “elected officials.”

Cuba’s Bailout!
.
Fidel Castro decided since 1959 to confiscate American properties . He executed and jailed Americans and didn’t want us there. During the October Missile Crisis of 1962, Castro wrote a personal letter to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushev, begging him to “nuke” the United States. Castro supported all anti-American efforts in Latin America: Tupamaros, Montoneros, FMLN guerrillas; and now is the political adviser of Hugo Chavez and other anti- American crusaders. This paranoic dictator wants the U.S. taxpayers to finance his failed oppressive regime.

It is estimated that the Castro brothers will pocket 5 billion dollars, if American tourists are allowed to go there for a good brainwash. Many will go to enjoy cuban cigars, rum and to engage in the horrors of child prostitution (jineteras) promoted by the authorities. Others in the extreme left, will go to reaffirm their ideological convictions and to bring back home fresh anti- American slogans from “el Comandante”. After 50 years of communism, Cubans see the United States as the “promised land” and the “American Way of Life ” as the raw model for their future generations. This mistaken policy will destroy forever our present moral image and stature in the eyes of the oppressed people in Cuba. They need freedom…..but have no use for abusive adventurers, communist fellow travelers or Castro siypathizers. I think it would be wise if all this money destined for Castro, stay home to help aliviate our awful economic situation.

America’s stance

Yes! Open up travel to Cuba – More US dollars for Castro’s regime. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll be able to travel to North Korea sometime soon, too.

You cannot appease nor negotiate with EVIL! When will those on the left figure that out? Probably never. The only ones who will benefit from these actions are the Castros.

100,000 cubans murdered….more than 300,000 have suffered prison…almost one third of population in exile…and thousands drowning in the ocean every year escaping from hell….and some people have the audacity to call for “normalization of relations” . Poor souls! How can they look themselves in the mirror every morning.

I remember well during the “apartheid” years in South Africa, how all these anti-embago voices (for Cuba) demanded from the United States a total economic blockade, called “disengagement”, against the government of that country. What a hypocritical double standard ! Now they happily advocate for total “engagement” with a 50 years old totalitarian regime. They don’t even care that more than 50 per cent of the oppressed people in Cuba are black.

From his grave, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. answers those who want to negociate with the Castro regime.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 and cannot comment directly on this article or to those who would go to Cuba to lick the bloodied boots of a dictator that has enslaved 11 million Cubans for 50 years.

But we can quote the leader of the American Civil Rights movement to show what he would have told those who today proclaim to follow his principles, while doing completely the opposite of what he preached.

Here is a famous quote by Dr. King, that applies perfectly to those who want to go to Cuba to support an evil dictator:

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. … So in order to be true to one’s conscience and true to God, a righteous man has no alternative but to refuse to cooperate with an evil system.” From Dr King’s book “Stride Toward Freedom,” Page 51.

For some insensitive people, the Castro brothers are more important than the stifled freedom voices languishing in Castros’ jails…..but most American citizens do not dismiss history as lightly as you seem to do. Intelligent people are not fooled by your rantings. America has always stood alone when it comes to moral issues. The fact that the rest of the world recognizes Cuba and its regime has absolutely NO bearing on America’s
