Part of the allure of being a well-heeled Marxist liberal is the ability to travel to revolutionary places on your American passport and invite your friends to a slide show once you get back to your Manhattan apartment. The price of this extravagance is borne by the poor unfortunates who must live in this socialist zoo and who are beaten by the keepers once the visitors have gone back home for the night.

Thanks for the post. How interesting this came from a Boston paper.

Yep, sounds like a worker's paradise to me! Who in their right mind would want to leave such a place?

I just wish all the fools who still think Castro is some sort of hero- or merely just "cool to support"- could live a few years as ordinary citizens in "the Worker's Paradise...."

Hundreds of accounts just like this one. No wonder people from around the world are clammering to become part of the Cuban experience. I await the calm waters of summer when those needy Americans take once again to rafts to take the dangerous trip accross the Florida straits.

This article is a primer for explaining why foaming-at-the-mouth socialists, such as Senator Clinton, embrace their ideology. Socialism grinds their opposition into dust so that they do not have do anything worthwhile or noteworthy. If they gain any position is the socialistic regime, they only have to be average at best to be perceived as successful.

At the tourist hotels, they always serve you VERY big and generous portions of food. Want to guess why?

They serve more food than you can possibly eat because the waiters who clear the tables and those who clean the dishes save uneated food off the plate to feed their families...

[No!]

"but to me, it was a city full of sadness and frustration."

I await the FINE day when I may go to Havana and smoke a fine CUBAN OWNED La Flor De Cano, sip a fine coffee at a Cuban Owned Cafe, and see the Havana as God intended it to be...

I feel it won't be too long now

Radio Free Republic Presents

The Banana Republican Hour

With your host Luis Gonzalez

This week’s guest:

Brothers to the Rescue founder, José Basulto

On February 24, 1996, three light aircraft left Miami on a routine flight. Their missions, to search the waters off the Florida Coast for rafters trying to reach the US shores, and bring them help by guiding the US Coast Guard to their location. That day in February, only one plane would return to its home base in Miami.

Tune in to Radio FreeRepublic this Thursday, March 14, at 9 PM EST, and listen to the actual sounds of a terrorist in action, murdering unarmed American citizens.

Sr. José Basulto, founder of Brothers to the Rescue and pilot of the surviving Cessna, will shed light on the events of that day, and detail how the Clinton administration withheld advanced knowledge of the attack from the humanitarian volunteer group, helping seal the fate of these four courageous flyers.

Radio FreeRepublic, fearless talk radio.

No wonder Cuban communism is worshipped by the DNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, ABC, and the rest of the liberals.

A Cuba-type restructuring of the US is Dan Rather's and Terry McAulfee's idea of paradise (with themselves on top of course).

Big BUMP!

This article proves the horrible tragedy that is Cuba.

Cuba under the right government could have been the economic superpower of the region, with agricultural and mineral resources coming out of the wazoo and unbelievable amount of sandy beaches for tourism. The country could actually have become the Latin American equivalent of Japan just from the exports that the country could have produced.

Instead, a Communist regime has economically ruined that country, with a very destitute population that is often harassed by the secret police of the Castro regime.

My Cuban Father in Law told me this morning that there are two hundred Cubans seeking asylum in Madrid. Apparently they were government workers who were on a plane that stopped for refueling on their way to a tour of Russia. He also told me that Cubans need a medical prescription to buy oranges. Words can't express the pained look on his face when he watches a documentary video of Havana as it used to be. That will always be home to him but he is running out of time to go back and see a free Cuba. I have taken an oath to piss on Castro's grave one day in return for what he did to my wife's family

Ahhhhh....this is the truth that hurts. We need to pray for those in Cuba so beat down but whose spirits still hold hope. Thank you for this post and ping, God Bless every single human being trapped in the hell Castro, architect of a slave state the honors nothing but spiritless adherance to brutal, human crushing rules and regulations.

God Bless Elian and his family.

I hope Jeff's article fell under the hateful eyes of Reno, Gregg Craig (Williams and Connerly DC lawyer who conspired to rip the hardest won freedom of all to little child [ the death of the mom] , God's most precious gift, from little Elian), billy the rapist extraordinaire and man who SOLD pardons to highest bidders to enrich his OWN FAMILY while PRESIDENT ), hugely disgusting , hillary, joan campbell, doris meissner and assorted other creeps. Big time. These people are DREAM CRUSHERS. Tramplers of those less powerful. Greedy (just ask greggy poo about the Bagley's of DC and Reynolds tobacco or ADM aspirations in Cuba) and most of all, apparently GODLESS jerks.
