And the MONEY from all those other tourists— goes right into the repressive dictatorship regime’s pockets and mostly into the castro’s swiss bank accounts.

The people of Cuba— not those in the regimes— are living slaves. No patriot of believer in the US as a Free Republic could represent that the US should prop up this nightmare Gulag in the Carribean. No one who thinks and learns the truth that is. A beach destination it is not. A hellhole- it is.

Did you know that under obamaumao the US Air Force has bought mini-trucks from China— appalling little pieces of crap so cheaply built they don’t last more than 5K miles. They are available online at govt. surplus sites.

Why in hell would we buy anything like that from China— to improve the world socialist relationship of obamaumao.

This is delusional thinking that Cuba can or does pay for anything and that they make anything we want— other than massive numbers of male or female whores. That is why the Hollywood pervs love the place and why the commies in the US love it to— one more perversion.

Obama searching for a legacy. (Obamacare has cratered so he must find something...)

More Rand Paulian genius being exposed on FR. With little to no understanding of the political realities of the people of Cuba. Have a cigar and look just like the fool that is obamaumao.

If you believe we broke communism’s back in Russia— well then you would not understand at all what has happened in Cuba over 50 years— what you call a “failure”. It just remains for libertarian idiots to figure out who they have to sell to get their piece, and it certainly won’t be a member of the Cuban govt.— no, it will be the lowly Cubano trying to make a living under a repressive police state. So the “libertarian” would love, just like Hollywood does, a compliant populace of a “changed” police state. How naive.

If by “breaking the back” of communism you mean shifting the ownership to the politburo’s families and party apparatchiks in Russia— well that was some major achievement- convert a gang of thugs to another gang of thugs and paper it over as “freedom”. Cuba was a free country taken over by a bastard son of a plantation owner who thought he was Lenin— a misguided mean bastard who is a slaver and a drug dealer to this day, as is his brother Raul. There is no comparison as to the outcome— except that obamaumao’s brilliant ass first position will pay him huge drug payoffs as the castro’s cronies and party hacks take over the various “enterprises” to line their pockets.
The only question to remain is ... who will be their “Putin”. Because Putin is a totalitarian dictator in every way like the castros. Deo Vindice.

Now you know how Gitmo closes.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You hit the nail right ON the head.

This is the real reason Obama is normalizing relations with Cuba. Gitmo will be “given back” to the Cubans instead of paying rent in arrears ( USA has sent annual rent checks for 50 years and none of them have been cashed).

This can be done WITHOUT Congress,as an administrtative act, which will pi$$ a lot of people off.

You gotta adnit that Obama and his gang are creative . But he is a fascist.

Good Read:

They number in the hundreds of thousands-and ALL are in the police state “govt.” for reasons of better places to live, food, money etc. They will not go willingly to a “capitalist” conversion.

Yes. The treatment of prisoners should represent the minimum of the care, and as such it is pretty sh**ty.

JFK loving Cuba? Wanna run that by again? Many friends from Cuba who are the most loyal conservative US citizens you could know. They HATE the kennedys because they KNOW what they are.

It is precisely the “kennedy” type libs and the jesuits that stuck their noses in this “deal”. That part of the Roman Catholic church that leans to the dictatorships of S. America and all else. And the Cuban-Americans despise them— actually hate them. No fan whatsoever of this pope from “humble means” who is a Jesuit devil.

I did not know that. WOW! Thanks for sharing.

Sex tourism is probably Cuba’s biggest industry, yes. Great...

No doubt the Kenyan is propping up Commies & Muzzies on our time.

“Yes We Can!” Yep, they did.

Thanks again for the China info.

Did you ever stop to think that it is because of the embargo— and the failure of the client state sponsors—Venezuela and Russia- that the state of Cuba might have collapsed on its own, right now. Leaving Chinese influences there high and dry, and forcing them out of the industrial docs they own in the Bahamas and the Panama Canal/Hutchison Whampoa management? By propping them up, obama is working for the opposition— and lining his and Kerry’s pockets. The Chicoms are happy tonight.

Check out the quote today from Raul’s daughter— it is a veritable manifesto of the continuing oligarchy of commies to run the place— stealing our money along the way of course.
Not one dime to them- not one from the US. The apparatchiks, like Alarcon and others— they are in place to take over. There will be no “transition”. This is a ruse, like Lenin pulled.

Hilarious— hookers and blow.

And take a gander at Glen Beck and his “osmonds in texas” bs libertarianism. Today he had an orthodox rabbi on to talk theology. Of course he had nothing to say about how one goes from being a catholic to a mormon, who believes they will be a god soon and live on a planet Kolob. Seriously.

Guess the mormons got to him first at AA.

What private sector in China— everything “private” is 51% owned by the chi-coms, the govt. Been there many times, and it is a font of corruption and repression. N. Korea is its client state. The reason you don’t go to the hospital is that china is an oriental horde of “nothings” where human life is worth nothing. It has been that way a long, long time, FRiend.

So you’d like that set up 90 miles from Key West? No problems there at all-— yep.

First thing I thought of. Seemed obvious. There is one reason Cuba is on anyones radar. Gitmo. He failed every other way.
