Elian Turns Eight Today
Various Reports | 12/6/01

Posted on 12/06/2001 5:02:22 PM PST by bjs1779

Just a reminder that Elian turned eight years old today for all of those of you cared for his freedom. I want to wish him a happy birthday despite his circumstances.

Elian was betrayed by the former President.

Votes for George W. Bush in outrage over the Elian episode were probably enough to have tipped the Florida balance. I am sad for this little boy and hope he will have a better future than the trauma that x42's (in)justice department caused him.

I think you are right about the election being the result of Elian's return to Castro. When I saw the many many Cuban Americans lined up to change their registration to Republican I was rather amazed. Seems they too fell for the 'something for nothing' promises of the demonrats. That was a terrible lesson for them.

God Bless Elian on his Birthday.

: (

Sad that Clinton/Reno sent him back to where Clinton/Reno belong; in commie country. I want to spew just typing those two names together.

I hate to 'trun' you in, pal, but any chance of repairing the misspelling in the title?

We need a new "Headline Spelling Moderator" to fix these problems.

Happy Birthday Elian. I hope Cuba is liberated soon.

When Gore lost the election, little Elian came to my mind. I felt that Elian's suffering was not in vain, that his suffering brought us George W. Bush as our President. I will never understand liberals who would allow such a trauma on a little boy. I hope they wake up and make it up to this boy or they can all rot in hell.

If not for Elian, Al Gore would be president today. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

What's sad is that the boy is now being 'officially' taught that God doesn't exist.
Hopefully some in his family may be able to tell him the truth.

I doubt if that will happen in Cuba, unfortunately.

He is turning 8 years old. The cojones are more suitable for his father, don't you think?

Why don't you send him yours along with a microscope so he can see them?

I was very embarrassed for my country that day. For me, that's one of the worst things our government has done since I've been alive. 24 years worth.
