“In my opinion, President Obama is an honest man,”
Well, If you can’t believe Raul Castro who can you
believe? Maybe he should comfort the Mullahs?
Yes - Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul and Margaret Thatcher - the President the Pope and the Prime Minister.
Then why the heck does he bring up slavery and the crusades when it suits him? Freakin' liar. January 2017 can't come soon enough.
Bingo, right outta the gate. It's all about 0 all the time.
Right, and of course it’s purely situational, depending on what advances the left’s agenda. If that means holding a grudge as in the case of Israel where every purported sin is emphasized, then he’ll hold a grudge. If that means turning the page as in the case of Cuba where every human rights violation is overlooked, then he’ll turn the page.
When did the torture in Cuba stop?
Jihad was before and after his time.
Soetero's only interested in battles before he was born if they pertain to his psychopathology. IOW, he's lying again.
I just saw the present of the USA shaking hands wuth raul castro. I did not think I would see something like this in my lifetime. I now understand why the USA is not mentioned in the apocalypse. The democrats are in the process of dismanteling this country and the people are too busy watching sitcoms on tv to be bothered with saving this country.
In a few years when groups of people are rounded up and sent to concentration camps everyone will be crying how did we get to this. The systematic brainwashing and dumbing down of America is working. For the few of us that can step back and see what is happening, it is disgusting.
Just as people that are mentally ill are not aware that they are ill, this country is falling apart and few people can see or even care about this problem. To those people that voted for B. Hussein Obama, when you are sitting in a concentration camp somewhere you will have plenty of time to ask yourself, why did I vote for B. Hussein Obama.
I’ll have to remember his line the next time reparations are mentioned.
Too bad he doesn’t feel the same way about slavery. He just can’t seem to give that issue up.
Yes Barack, history began the day you were born. Nothing before then mattered.
What do they say? Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it?
Yep. That American Revolution and that Constitution thingy were way before he was born. So they are irrelevant in his mind.
Delusions about a Dictator
Posted By Humberto Fontova On August 27, 2010
Let’s take a more precise look at the historic failure of engaging with Cuba:
In July 1960, Castro’s KGB-trained security forces stormed into 5,911 U.S.-owned businesses in Cuba and appropriated them at Soviet gunpoint – $2 billion were heisted from outraged U.S. businessmen and stockholders. Of course, not all Americans surrendered their legal and hard-earned property peacefully. Among those who resisted was Bobby Fuller, whose family farm would contribute to a Soviet-style Kolkhoze, and Howard Anderson, whose profitable Jeep dealership was coveted by Castro’s henchmen. Both U.S. citizens were murdered by Castro and Che’s firing squads.
In July 1961, JFK’s special counsel Richard Goodwin met with Che Guevara in Uruguay and reported back to Kennedy:
Che says that Cuba wants an understanding with the U.S., the Cubans have no intention of making an alliance with the Soviets. So we should make it clear to Castro that we want to help Cuba.
The result? Soviet nuclear missiles, locked and loaded in Cuba a year later –pointed at Goodwin and Kennedy’s very homes.
In 1975, President Gerald Ford (under Kissinger’s influence) allowed foreign branches and subsidiaries of U.S. companies to trade freely with Cuba and persuaded the Organization of American States to lift its sanctions.
Castro’s response was to start his African invasion and try to assassinate Ford. On March 19, the Los Angeles Times ran the headline “Cuban Link to Death Plot Probed.” Both Republican candidates of the day, President Ford and Ronald Reagan, were to be taken out during the Republican National Convention. The Emiliano Zapata Unit, a Bay Area radical group linked to the Weather Underground, would make the hits.
Jimmy Carter, in a goodwill gesture, lifted U.S. travel sanctions against Cuba and was poised to open full diplomatic relations with Castro. This was met with thousands of Cuban troops spreading Soviet terror (and poison gas) in Africa as well as more internal repression. Hundreds of psychopaths, killers and perverts were shoved onto the Mariel Boatlift and sent to Miami.
Ronald Reagan sent Alexander Haig to meet personally in Mexico City with Cuba’s “Vice President” Carlos Raphael Rodriguez to feel him out. Then he sent diplomatic wiz Gen. Vernon Walters to Havana for a meeting with the Maximum Leader himself. This was followed by Cubans practically taking over Grenada, El Salvador and Nicaragua. (But unlike the aforementioned Democrats, Reagan responded to Castro’s response–and with pretty dramatic results.)
