"what exactly is a Banana Republican?"

I reckon it's a Republican from Miami, which is so overrun with refugees from the Caribbean, that it is really a "banana republic."

Lot's of (so called) conservatives don't like the Cubans (which are the actual majority here now), cause they're loud, pushy, etc. But they work hard, hate socialism, love their families and kids. I like them...alot...think they are an asset for America.

I could still wish for a Miami of the 1950's, small town U.S.A., in the "English tradition" and everything that implies, and in lots of ways, it's the (fairly recent) immigrants that made it a "big city." But all that's in the past, I believe I'm proud to be a "Banana Republican."
