358 - "No but your loyalty is certainly suspect when you swear allegiance to more than one country. That's why the US has never granted it's citizens dual citizenship.
and then y'all wonder why americans are perceived nativist, xenophonic and self-centered."

Better than being the bitter, racist, self-hating, selfish, cowardly, Cuban exile that you are, who is too chicken to try to take back his own country, and who just wants to re-establish his pre-castro cuba aristocracy here in the US.

I hadn't taken the time to researched gawd's historical, cultural ties but I knew it was parochial when he posted "and then y'all wonder why americans are perceived nativist, xenophonic and self-centered."since the term "americans" applies to Canadians, US citizens, Mexicans and on and on through Chileans alike.

Ummmmm.......Would you care to rephrase that, X-Bob?

I represent that remark.

(Well, except for the bitter, racist, selfish and cowardly part.)

(And especially the "self-hating"....Most Cuban Americans have a problem in the other end of that spectrum. Just ask my wife ;-) ...)

I am Cuban-born myself and came to the U.S. as an exile.

Between my uncle (Bay of Pigs, Green Berets, two Vietnam combat tours, two Bronze Stars with "V" and two Purple Hearts), my brother (U.S. Army, 10th Mountain Division), my sister (U.S. Army Nurse Corps) and myself (Commander, USNR) we have about 46 years of combined U.S. Armed Forces service.

I could go into a long tactical, strategic, logistical and geopolitical treatise as to all the reasons why Cuban liberation is not a militarily feasible option for Cuban exiles. Suffice it to say that fighting for the United States is a far wiser use of your life than certain and meaningless suicide in a hopeless Quixotic quest.

In regards to "pre-Castro aristocracy", that is Socialist class-warfare rhetoric. Like every society, Cuba had rich and poor. Before Castro, however, Cuba had the largest per capita middle class in Latin America.

Now, from what gawd has written, there is no doubt in my mind that gawd is an idiot and, as I posted to him in Post 245, "a 'holier-than-thou' trash-talking troll'".

Be that as it may, he is not an idiot because he is Cuban American any more that Al Sharpton, Howard Dean or Al Gore are idiots because they are native-born Americans.

Gawd is an idiot simply because every demographic group has it's fair share of idiots and he happens to be one of the idiots in my demographic group.
