I don't understand this: Peter Jennings told me that they have a great health care system. Why would anyone want to leave??

Sounds like this guy is just ticked because he's no longer in the Cuban hierarchy.

Yeah, it's really hard cheese to be part of the proletariat in Cuba.

Better believe, if he had the power of the gun, he would still be there and be a loyal communist.

This is really strange...

What would you think if after ww2 nazis were building a theme park in the Florida Keys with federal funding---

or the south had one remaining slave state---Virginia?

Isn't cuba a soviet republic still---in perpetuity?

It would be nice to know that he came here for freedom rather than because Fidel crapped on him.

doug...

There is also the third possibility, just perhaps he was "sent"...

I think if he was sent he would have had a better cover than "I'm pi$$ed".

I'm sure they will. I'll also bet that they'll take advantage of his anger too. Hell hath no fury like a commie scorned?

Yes, but no. "Still", but only for maybe another 30 months. Any takers?

And just think...if El Reno were Guv right now and this guy washed up on shore, she'd be shipping him back to the 'workers' paradise at her pal Fidel's request.

We ought to throw this little fish back. The only reason he left is he doesn't get to be a top commie. That's seems to be the gist of it.

It is perhaps more apt that such a fellow be compelled to soil his hands in the fabrication of propaganda for the rest of his working days.

Yeah... I'm waiting to see it hit the fan if Hillary doesn't get nominated/elected Prez...
