I am happy to have you as my fellow countryman and I would encourage you to keep your head up.
What we are witnessing on television is a very small group of people being allowed to commit crimes and mayhem by weak leaders. The media magnifies the impact much as they do with hurricane coverage so that it fills everyone with a sense of dread. People use the protests to try and paint a different picture of our country.
This is not representative of America and the vast majority of Americans want order, peace, and prosperity. The mob just wants excitement and free stuff. The media wants a big story. The left wants to push a narrative that we are a racist nation. The rest of us are left bewildered by it all.
It has happened before and it will happen again FRiend, but remember that it is a made to look much larger than it really is. I think the adults are about to take over and end it.
Why are you saying this to me? I know that. I was answering the guy in comment #7 who just put the poster's join date in his comment, as if it were a bad thing.
A bunch of Communists invaded and destroyed the country of your birth, so you came here to live as a good American. Unfortunately, the demonic Communists didn’t want just Cuba; they wanted to destroy America, no easy task. But they took the long approach and slowly dominated the university system, the media, the movies, the music, the culture, the schoolhouses, and more. Millions upon millions of baby Americans died violently but silently as a culture of death overtook America. Free speech slowly withered even as noise freely proliferated; leftism and its constellation of heresies dominate the discourse, and rational thought took refuge in the churches, outside which normal people dared not speak the simple truths, even those incontrovertible a mere decade ago.
This year, the war is on. Impeachment failed. So the leftists tried the coronavirus hysteria, terminated a third of the American economy (but almost none of the public sector), disregarded the Bill of Rights, closed the churches, sewed misery, and blamed Trump. That apparently wasn’t enough, so now the Biden rally moved onward to massive property destruction. This Communist insurrection takeover probably will escalate much further before the election.
We might not survive. Make plans now. Go to confession where and when you still can. Try to live in heroic virtue. Hundreds of millions of persons all across the world lost their lives to the Communists in the previous century; tens of millions more gave their lives as a witness, a martyr, to the Love of God in Christ Jesus. The time soon may come that we join them.
But if you are an adult citizen and otherwise not disqualified, register (if necessary) and vote in November. Vote Trump; save lives. Trump still opposes Communism, he opposes killing babies, he opposes the violence of the Biden rallies. If he doesn’t make it, then vote Pence. If neither are on the ballot, then at least vote Republican. If no Republicans make the ballot, then just vote against all Democrats, Socialists, and Communists and for some other candidate. And pray for America, because if this country falls, then I know not what other refuge yet may survive against the transnational Communist insurgency. Maybe Poland? Perhaps Cuba, ironically?
I believe that also. When the Democrats get vote by mail in enough States, it is over. Nave a plan B and be ready to execute it. No one who understands how Democrats operate should take them lightly. But most of our people do.
Work with groups that oppose immigration both legal and illegal. For everyone like you that immigrates to this country there are seven or eight that will end up voting democrat. Given your situation you might have to limit your support to financial or be seen as a hypocrite. Google Nicolas Fuentes and America First : .
My parents fled communism to start over in America. They too, were very grateful for the opportunity to live in liberty. The first ‘luxury’ my dad saved up for was a rifle. He was denied the right to own a firearm or to go hunting during WWII under the Nazi’s and then under the communists. My mother likens what we are experiencing to 1930’s Europe. The subversive leftist activity is very familiar to her - as it is to you. Welcome. We need people like you.
Welcome to FR.
One of my close friends arrived in the US, from Cuba, at about the same time that you did.
Thank you for your story....others have posted ways to become active, in this fight against leftist tyranny.
God bless and keep you, our dear President and the USA.
Your point?
Bienvenido a la republica libre, mi hermano! Enseñe bien a sus hijos y da le siempre gracias a Dios. Vota en todas las elecciones que pueda.
Agreed. Including too often Trump IMO when he listens to Jared and Ivanka.
Seems a willing captive of the Big Pharma/UN takeover at this point. Sure, we’re pulling out of the WHO, but his admin’s CDC has pushed the totalitarian contract tracing that every single state is implementing.
Trump also seems to think that going along with a narrative that oh, yes, we’d have had millions die to this virus if he hadn’t destroyed our economy and handed over lockdown/isolation/vaccination powers to evil powers over our constitutional rights.
John Roberts siding with CA against religious liberty this week underscored that we don’t have the USSC on our side.
God Bless You!
We pray every day on FR for our nation and our President. If you would like to be on the daily ping list, just contact SisterK, stars & stripes forever, or Hiskid. Any of these Faithful Followers of Christ would be happy to put you on the ping list, and then you will receive a daily prayer in which you may participate.
I lived in S. Florida for 16 years and have met many wonderful people who escaped from Cuba. Your post really resonated with me!
(((HUGS)))
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.
Great post!
Thank you and everyone else for the warm welcome and kind words.
Happy to post and make a small contribution to FR, it’s been on my to-do list for years.
Comments from fellow Freepers are always insightful and often brilliant.
Thanks again
Thank you and all of my fellow Freepers for taking the time to reply with all of these kind words.
After we left Cuba, we lived in Costa Rica for a few months, as direct travel from Cuba to the US wasn’t possible back then; this was during the 1984 US presidential election.
I remember my late father being very nervous about the possibility of Mondale winning. He was convinced if Mondale won the election, the Soviet/Castro backed Sandinistas would invade Costa Rica and our lives would be upended by communists yet again.
Thankfully, that did not come to pass...
Thanks again!
Gracias mi FR amigo!
Un abrazo!
wait, no, social distancing, can’t do that anymore...
Thank you, very touching words
Good thoughts.
First, I’m often surprised by how many patriots-—and I know they are America-lovers-—nevertheless seem to have such little faith in America.
We have been through far worse times.
In the 1790s a group of farmers threatened all out rebellion against the federal government. They were put down with only two hangings.
In the early 1800s, Aaron Burr sought to set up an independent republic. Charges were dropped.
In 1814, right in the middle of a WAR, a group of politicians from NE states sought secession. It unraveled with no violence and none were executed.
In the 1830s, John Calhoun & other South Carolinians threatened open revolt. President Andrew Jackson promised to invade SC and hang Calhoun if he followed through. The issue dissipated.
Obviously in 1860 HALF of Congress literally walked out in protest of an election; 11 states took up arms against the Union; and Jefferson Davis launched a bloody war that cost over 600,000 dead. Davis-—and only Davis-—spent time in prison. A whopping 2 years for fomenting bloody rebellion.
In the 1960s, both civil rights and anti-war mobs in the hundreds of thousands fought with police. The country stabilized. Indeed, if not for allowing a spy breakin, Richard Nixon might have gone down as a great president (even though I disagree with many of his domestic policies.)
The point is, we go through major crises all the time. It isn’t the “end of America” any more than needing to have a cavity filled or getting the flu is fatal.
