Ted Cruz Calls Elian Gonzalez Saga “A Sad Day For America”

"........“As president that’s exactly what I’m gonna do, I’m gonna enforce the law. We are going to deport those here illegally, secure the borders, and keep this country safe,” he continued. “And that astonishes many in the media but it should be the president’s responsibility, especially in an age of terror.”

Cruz emphasized the frontline of terror was both in airports and the southern border. Turning to Gonzalez, who was returned to Cuba after a long custody battle, the Texas senator emphasized the episode as a sad chapter in American history.

“I suspect you are referring to Elian Gonzalez, who they actually sent goons in to snatch a six-year-old boy and wrongly return him to an oppressive Communist dictatorship. That was a sad day for America when you saw the federal government sending stormtroopers with machine guns to grab a six-year-child whose mother had died trying to give him freedom and instead for us to send him back to Fidel Castro.”

I’ll agree with that. And where was Governor Bush during this. Hiding somewhere.

....will ODUNGO meet with fugitive Joanne Chesimard while visiting? Possible talks about a pardon?

To this day the topic of Elian is HOT in S Florida. Folks need to remember his mother died just off shore while bringing him to freedom.

And now that poor little boy is a bitter, angry young man, filled with socialist nonsense and ripe for erupting in violence against those he sees as his oppressors.

The damage that the Clintons did to this innocent little boy, taking him away from loving relatives and delivering him to Castro to raise as a warrior for communism is unforgiveable.

I wonder what happened to Elian’s father, after Castro and the Clintons used him to get Elian into Castro’s clutches? We’ve seen Elian paraded about since then, but what about his father?

And don’t ever forget that Elian was housed, with his father and a bunch of his school friends, at the Wye River Plantation in Maryland, so he could be reindoctrinated into Communism. I was speechless that the Clintons arranged for him to be taught Communism ON OUR SOIL. But let’s face it, Leftists have never thought about Communism the same way we view it. To Leftists, Communism is a better way of life......as long as they are in charge of it.

Anyone remember that week? Elian was taken from his family by armed force on a Sunday night.
By Wednesday, SOUTH PARK had developed an episode on some eastern European acrobat children fleeing to the USA, the episode ended with agents breaking into the place where Kenny was at the time and he was machineguned exactly like this photo.
From From Sunday night to Wednesday night. Wonder if the SOUTH PARK developers paid their artists overtime.

A good example of "caring for the children" was on display during the Elian tragedy when Marian Wright-Edelman, Hillary Clinton and the Children's Defense Fund, - - Dr. Irwin Redlener (Children's Health Fund), Reno's Justice Dept. hand picked pediatrician being passed off as a psychiatrist, walked hand in hand with Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Thom White Wolf Fasset (General Secretay of the United Methodist Church), Joan Brown Campbell - - (National Council of Churches) and the mainstream media, insisting a child would be healthier and happier raised by Castro in communist Cuba.

I guess this storm trooper fits in well now with Obama’s regime. I wonder if he has any regrets or gets any push back now over what he did, pointing that rifle in the face of a little boy? He should.

Bill Clinton will burn in Hell until the stars burn out for what he did. Elian was rescued by Dolphins who kept the Sharks away. The Cubans here declared him an “elegua” , a holy child protected by God. The day he was stolen is the day I joined Free Republic.
