We understand that Nancy Pelosi is married to a very successful businessman in California. We are very happy that the Pelosi family has enjoyed the fruits of capitalism. Of course, they've enjoyed those fruits because they live in a country that respects property rights and does not confiscate businesses.
This week, Rep Pelosi went to Cuba and stayed at the Hotel Saratoga. Let me share this from our good friends at Capitol Hill Cubans:
"The Hotel Saratoga is a beautiful neoclassical structure in Old Havana. It was purchased in 1939 by Blanco Lopez and Co., headed by Jose Blanco and Jose Lopez Blanco, who were also leaders of the Association of Cuban Hotels.
In 1959, The Hotel Saratoga was confiscated by the Castro regime.
Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union, Castro saw European and Canadian tourism as a means to salvage his dictatorship. Thus, he began seducing foreign investors to invest -- in minority partnerships with the Castro regime -- in order to reconstruct the island's hotels.
In 1999, a British company, Coral Capital Group Ltd., entered into a minority partnership with the Castro regime to transform (a then-dilapidated) Hotel Saratoga into a chic, modern, 5-star property.
Coral Capital invested over $75 million in its partnership with Castro.
In 2005, the Hotel Saratoga reopened as the swankiest hotel in Havana.
But, as always, Castro got greedy and wanted it all for himself.
Thus, in 2011, Castro confiscated Coral Capital's minority stake in the Hotel Saratoga.

Now they're both snuggling up to the two commie dictators.

Need I say it? Birds of a feather...

I have ZERO sympathy for these fools. Anyone with an ounce of common sense would have known this would happen
Don’t confuse ignorance for indifference.
“Representative Pelosi”......granted the fact that she even holds that position, it is extremely satisfactory to hear her status described as a common Congressman.
They are not snuggling up to them for nothing. They are looking for ideas. I’m sure that they already have a long list of properties to be confiscated. Only a few more elections stand in their way.
I will be happy when it’s the late Nancy Pelosi.
I couldn’t agree more, they were idiots for investing in communist Cuban, just as 0bama and his administration are idiots for investing in the Castro’s under their conditions.
Amen
Concur wholeheartedly. My primary interest then would be to find out where she is interred. There’s a certain bodily function I’d like to perform.
Love that graphic! lol
Agreed, it's like being surprised when you give an ISIS terrorist a jobs program to help them and they cut your head off. Or like petting a tiger and it bites your hand off. Or like a Republican giving up principle and dealing with a liberal only to have the liberal pull the carpet out from under you.
LOL......no difference.
“We are very happy that the Pelosi family has enjoyed the fruits of capitalism.”
Capitalism? Pffft! You mean fascist “pal-ism”.
Executives like this remind me of Harry Ellis in the first "Die Hard" movie. He was the sleazy Nakatomi executive who assumed he could flash a saccharine smile, keep saying "babe", and negotiate between Hans and McClane for the return of the detonators. McClane refuses to return them, causing Gruber to execute Ellis. Couldn't have happened to a nicer douchebag.
Bottom line- Anyone traveling to Cuba and spending $$$ there is putting it DIRECTLY into the hands of the Castro regime. The Cuban military operates all of the tourist lodging there. Thanks, Obama!
I agree.
