Rand Paul and his father are liberals.
They always have been, except on fiscal policies.
Once you understand that they become predictable.
It seems that Obama, and those who oppose the embargo, want to add 11 million Cubans in the Island to U.S. welfare rolls. Obama will bankrupt U.S. as Castro bankrupted the Soviet Union.
The embargo was not a failure. U.S. is Cuba’s bigger trader of food and medicine. Thanks to the embargo everything Cuba buys from US is being paid on advance, those over l40 countries worldwide who sold Cuba merchandise on credit were never paid for their goods.
For those who try to equate the Cuban Stalinist regime with other communist or ex-communists regimes, neither Soviet Union, China or Vietnam tried to obliterate New York and Washington by a nuclear attack, and the hatred of the Castros for U.S. have not diminished a bit over half a century .
The Cuban regime tried to obliterate New York and Washington with a nuclear attack during the October Missile Crisis of 1962. “In November 1962, the Castro brothers’ and Che Guevara’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The Holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.” (Humberto Fontova)
Since taking power, Castro has been a strong ally of Islamic terrorism. Cuba continues to serve as a base for coordination and mutual support among transnational terrorist organizations. At Tehran University he stated to the thunderous applause of students and faculty, "The imperialist king will finally fall,” (AFP, May 10, 2001). Immediately afterward the Iranian Press Service proudly proclaimed that "Iran and Cuba reached the conclusion that together they can tear down the United States.” (IPS, May 10, 2001)…. AND 4 MONTHS LATER…
