Conservative Trailhead ^ | 11/12/2004 | Henry Ortuno

Once again the bearded one has been exposed for the self serving thief he actually is. As usual, the Cuban people are the ones being ripped to the bone by this tyrant.

His new tactic forces Cubans on the island to trade US dollars, received from relatives in Miami, to pesos.

Those dollars from America are about the only thing keeping some families from starvation. Now he wants them to trade them for pesos, and let me guess, at an awful ratio. That is not good.

"why people put up with him, i don't understand. "

I often wondered myself. After doing some research, I learned that soon after the 1959 revolution there was a robust anti-Castro resistance in Cuba. Their failure to remove the dictator resulted from many factors.

I have written about this here.

good 2 see a henry a hikin'!

i like nature.

concerning chavez on your website, i was wondering aloud on fr this last week:

is it possible that chavez wants to take over the columbian drug trade? the columbians made some big mistakes and the mexican cartels out manuevered them, making more money on the drugs shopped from columbia than the columbian thugs themselves. my understanding is that most of it is grown in neighboring ecuador and peru, but processed in columbia.

castro and chavez have a plan. the united states has not paid much attention to this hemisphere since reagan.

"the united states has not paid much attention to this hemisphere since reagan."

Castro and his prison bitch, Chavez, have much in common. The difference is Castro never had a flow of money that would have enabled him to act out his megalomaniacal dreams. Chavez on the other hand, has money and common borders making it easier for him to export his bogus revolution.

Like Castro, Chavez's revolution consists of nothing more than a Chavez-worshiping cult.
The US must become more active in the region or face a massive wave of refuge and illegal migration in the future.

agreed.

someone should have taken chavez out when the opposition had him jailed a couple of years ago. btw, venezuela owns citgo gas. they moved the headquaters from tulsa to houston after they bought it. i don't buy gas at citgo.

you're damn right the dems launched a subliminal campaign. immediately after the election was over, when the local dems were still angry about losing, the word was out on the street among black males: a young black guy i know said, "i'll never vote for a white man again, even if he's democrat. we need a female president". wonder who would be that person?
