"She communicates only by letter with her mother and is harshly denounced by her aunt - Castro's sister, Juanita Castro, who also lives in Miami."

Let me get this straight: Fidel Castro has a sister living in Miami who denounces those in America who criticise him?
And why is this woman living in the US? And why is she allowed to stay in the US?

Brava Alina Fernández Revuelta y Maritza Lugo Fernandez. National Review March 11, 2002, "I Can't Just Do Nothing": A Heroine Out of Cuba by Jay Nordlinger pp 26-28.

Her husband is president of one of the country's main opposition groups; he is in the eighth year of a 20-year sentence in one of Castro's prisons. Conditions in the prisons are wretched as Lugo confirms: isolation, beatings, rats, druggings, spoiled food, strip searches, filth, disease, the withholding of medical care.

The traitor-rapist's Diesel Dyke sent the pack of INS thugs with H & K MP-5's to kidnap the Cuban boy whose mother died to get him to the land of the free.

The same INS that allowed over a million illegals in to re-elect the traitor-rapist in 1996 and is too sleepy to notice Atta and his ilk are here, deadly and dead.

China has a sigint installation on Cuba and is bringing in weapons even as Russia leaves Lourdes.

It's never too late to put Fidel before a fusilamiento. Badda bing, badda bang, badda adios.

This is good. Maybe while she's at it, she could also encourage all recent Cuban immigrants to learn how to speak English, stop sucking off welfare, and put down that Cuban flag and wave the Stars and Stripes, instead of burning the American flag when they start another riot like they did almost two years ago. Being anti-Castro is commendable, but if they can't also be Americans, then they should get back on the raft.

Famous Florida bumper sticker: "Would the last American to leave Miami, please bring the flag."

Yep. And I agreed with everything you wrote except for the hand-wringing Elian/Cuban immigration horsesh**. Perhaps you'd think differently about the situation if you visited my mostly-Cuban neighborhood and were accosted by some unwashed derelict who spent his formative years in a Havana mental asylum. Gotta love that Mariel boatlift, baby!

Gotta love that Mariel boatlift, baby! I can only hope you were being sarcastic- that was one of the worst "un-natural" disasters ever foisted onto South Florida.

Oh? And what's so ignorant about what I wrote? Are you saying there *aren't* Cuban immigrants who don't fit that description? I went to the local DMV last year and more than half the people there couldn't even speak English, and my local supermarket makes speaker announcements in Spanish, that's it. And then there's what happened in my neighborhood the day little Elian Gonzalez got sent back. Scores of people running around, screaming "Elian!" from passing cars, blocking traffic and waving the Cuban flag, starting a near-riot. I didn't see a single Stars & Stripes either. Shortly after, I had to put up with belligerent Cuban youths accusing me of sending Elian back to Cuba because I'm a gringo. So excuse the hell out of me if I'm not as sympathetic to the Elian Gonzalez controversy like the neo-con/Cuban-exile thought police say I should be.

Fernández was also born illegitimately, the fruit of a summer fling between Castro and a Havana socialite, Natalya Revuelta, while both were married.

Isn't Havana socialite an oxymoron?

How old is Castro? 75? He could live another 20 years. To this British rag, what someone says on the radio is worse and more important than being a bloody communist dictator. They trivialize this and play up a family feud and it's fin de siecle time in Commuland. He's a bloody dictator, who's starving his people and keeping them locked up for 40 years, but at least he's not vitriolic.

I agree. Being anti-Castro is fine...but if they're also anti-American, while taking full advantage of our socialistic system (thanks DemoncRats!), and our freedoms...they can ALL be shipped back to Cuba, as far as I'm concerned. We already have enough un-american pimps living here 'free gratis' and at the taxpayers' expense.

PS....my ancestors were Cherokee....so as far as I'm concerned....'America - love it or get the hell out' is MY feeling.

I'm tired so I'll make this concise and go to bed.

You basically lumped ALL cuban exiles/immigrants into your lovely bigoted and obviously resentful diatribe.

I'm sorry that you were personally offended by the fact that the Cuban flag was waved, or that you were blamed for being a gringo (although I think it was more because you are a blatant bigot based on your statements).

This is good. Maybe while she's at it, she could also encourage all recent Cuban immigrants to learn how to speak English,

"all recent Cuban immigrants"? Not all come here knowing English (not exactly an encouraged language over there) and if they just got here, how quickly do you expect them to learn it?

stop sucking off welfare,

That shows your ignorance since Cubans are one of the least likely ethnicities to receive any type of assistance because of their resistance to government dependence in any form.

and put down that Cuban flag and wave the Stars and Stripes,

During Elian, the anti-exile crowd adopted Old Glory as their Cuban-hating emblem, so what else where the Cubans supposed to use to show unity? Maybe the Confederate flag?

instead of burning the American flag when they start another riot like they did almost two years ago.

There was ONE recorded instance of flag-burning and it was quickly stopped by other Cuban exiles. The guy who burned Old Glory was suspected of being a Castro plant in the crowd. Oh, and by the way, there was no "riot". Were any homes or businesses burned or looted? Were people dragged out of their cars and assaulted? Standing on street corners protesting loudly is not considered a riot, it's called a protest. You were just threatened by such a large group of brown people in a confined area.

Being anti-Castro is commendable, but if they can't also be Americans, then they should get back on the raft.

Rick - In case you didn't hear, if it wasn't for the Cubans, there would be a President Gore in the White House. And the "get back on the raft" comment was just plain disgusting. Ugh!

Famous Florida bumper sticker: "Would the last American to leave Miami, please bring the flag."

The only people I ever saw with those bumper stickers were the kind of people I was glad to see leaving Miami anyway.

Good night Rick. I'll be on tomorrow if you wish to continue your debate.
