Biden's Cuba Conundrum
American Thinker ^ | 12 Feb, 2021 | Rick Fuentes

Posted on 02/12/2021 4:33:08 AM PST by MtnClimber

Given Democrat majorities across all three branches of government and a strong wind from the socialist wing of the party at their back, there is a two-year window to coddle up to the Marxists of the Caribbean.

Political luminaries on the left have always harbored a soft spot for the world’s dictators, Putin, Ortega, Jinping, Maduro, and Cuba’s successor to the Hermanos Castro, Miguel Diaz-Canel. Not to say that they align with the atrocities they commit, as that would be a pill too bitter for their voters to swallow. Rather, it is the vast power that they wield over the citizenry and military. Given Democrat majorities across all three branches of government and a strong wind from the socialist wing of the party at their back, there is a two-year window to coddle up to the Marxists of the Caribbean.

Joe Biden is duteous to the doctrine of appeasement, putting Barack Obama’s acolytes back in their familiar foreign policy and national security seats to complete a worldview that puts America last. Diaz-Canel is already licking his chops over American dollars and setting lopsided conditions for talks that offer no compromise on issues involving the Cuban revolution, socialism, and sovereignty.

In addition to their miserable record on human rights, with thousands of political dissidents held in warrantless detention and imprisonment in 2020 alone, the Cuban regime has offered safe haven to America’s most notorious domestic terrorists. Four among them are William Guillermo Morales, Victor Manuel Gerena, Charles Lee Hill, and Joanne Deborah Chesimard.

In the 1970s, Morales was a bombmaker for the FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist groups with a string of attacks that included the bombing of New York City’s historic Fraunces Tavern in 1975 that killed five lunchgoers.

The democRAT refusal to condemn ruthless communist mass murders is a silent endorsement.

A group of three Cubans abandoned Cuba, became stranded on a tiny island, and were rescued by the USCG.

Will they be returned to appease the Commies?

You could tack on a thousand charges for impeaching this braindead bastard. But not a peep from the Republicucks. I know they’re not the majority but that didn’t stop the RATS from trying.

I thought Bill Clinton pardoned the members of FALN. How did Morales not receive his?

Probably because he was not in prison here. From Wickipedia:

On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, which is a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago.

So Clinton commuted their sentences, he did not pardon them.

The democrats may have control of the white house, the house and the senate, but I wouldn’t exactly say they have a majority in the supreme court.

Methinks that someone at American Thinker doesn’t understand the structure of our government.

It looks like the American Thinker is counting heads of the Quisling Party, which can be either Democrats or Republicans.

The Supreme Court has proven that they are a full dues paying member of the Quisling Party.
