“And, Elian would likely be voting Democrat had he stayed and gain citizenship.”

Yeah sure, just like these Cuban Americans who love Obama and the democrats - sarc.

Elian and the real Cuba:

In your situation, what was the law? The US had a treaty with Cuba that recognized parental rights.

"The National Council of Churches and the Methodist Church were among various groups suddenly concerned over “Fathers’ Rights.”"

The National Council of Churches is a commie pinko organization that supports brutal, suppressive anti-Christian regimes.

Besides the ACLU and NAMBLA, there is probably not a more disgusting, evil organization.

They went by the rule of law and returned Elian to his father in Cuba.

B.S. Utter B.S. The US Govt in fact interfered in a lawful custody arrangement, sending gun-toting thugs to take the child at gunpoint and return him to Cuba. They were not willing to follow due process, they admitted as much. The case for paternal custody was too weak to fly in the federal courts. The feds were bound by law against interference in a case under adjudication. So they mooted due process at the point of a gun.

Didn't we later on find a number of Cuban agents hanging out in the Justice and State Departments?

"They were very sad times for me, which marked me for my whole life. I was never given the chance to have a moment to think about my mother, who as a result of that (U.S.) Cuban Adjustment Act died at sea," the now-19-year-old Gonzalez said last weekend during a Union of Young Communists event.

It's a good thing Mr Lincoln didn't care about the law.

In America all transactions are done in dollars and Cuban pesos are worthless.

Same in Cuba.

Barack Obama and Ben Bernanke are working hard to fix that.

You won’t get any arguments from me on every word of what you just said.

And have any of those organizations come out lately for “Fathers’ Rights” ? Well maybe NAMBLA.

It’s disgusting how these creepy fascist organizations always find some cause du jour to weasel their way into our lives.

“Elian’s “father” wanted nothing to do with his child until it became obvious that Castro could use him as a political pawn. He was not involved in his child's life in any meaningful way UNTIL this incident occurred.”

The two parents were not married and the Clinton admin could have used that fact to keep him in the USA. They never even requested the father prove his parentage. As you stated, he didn't want the responsibility of fatherhood until Castro required him to be a father.

[ifinnegan]

Michael Reagan on his show advocated sending him back.

There were plenty here at FR as well.

There are people on this thread praising Clinton and Reno for following “rule of law”.

[ifinnegan]

“I don’t get it.”

Guess not.
