Mexicans Demand End of US Blockade Against Cuba and Freedom of Cuban Five
Cuba News ^ | March 14, 2010 | Cuban News Agency

HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 14 (acn) Mexico’s 16th National Conference on Solidarity with Cuba urged the United States to respect the island’s right to sovereignty and self-determination and lift the economic, financial and commercial blockade against that country, Prensa Latina reported. Participants in the meeting held at the Workers’ University of Mexico (Universidad Obrera de Mexico) also claimed for the release of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the US.

The document passed during the closing session of the meeting criticizes the American government’s double standards noting that while encouraging illegal immigration from the island, Washington punishes American companies who do business with Cuba and protects terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

In the closing ceremony, a thank-you letter by one of the Cuban Five, Gerardo Hernandez to the Mexican people for the actions they have held for the freedom of the Cuban Five was read.

In the meeting attended by 600 delegates from all over the country, president of the solidarity-with- Cuba committee in Lower California, Jose Luis Alonso, talked about the campaign in Mexico in favor of the Cuban Five: Antonio Guerrero, Ramon Labañino, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez and Rene Gonzalez.

Senator with Partido de la Revolución Democrática (Party of the Democratic Revolution), Yeikol Polenski, added that there are 22 committees fighting for the release of the Cuban Five in her country.

In a an interview with PL, Polenski encouraged the people to use internet social networks to inform on what the US is capable of doing to seize not only Cuba but any other country which it can take advantage of such as oil-producing nations.

It is an EMBARGO. If it were a BLOCKADE, Cuba would’ve died on the vine the day the USSR was flushed down history’s commode.

“claimed for the release of the five Cuban antiterrorist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the US.”

Huh? This is a new one. What did they do? I know the communists are constantly complaining about how America should open trade with Cuba. They talk like we are blocking other countries from engaging in trade, but we are not. Communists are masters of emotional exaggeration, but I don't know anything about these Cuban 5

In rereading the excerpt, it becomes clear that it is not “Mexicans” who are doing the demanding, but rather a few Mexican communists.

STFU, Messkins.

Maybe it’s about time for a San Jacinto re-enactment.

“It is an EMBARGO. If it were a BLOCKADE, Cuba would’ve died on the vine the day the USSR was flushed down history’s commode.”

That makes it easy:

I GREENLANTERNCORPS, Poster at FreeRepublic, hereby order that all blockades of Cuba be lifted at once.

So let it be written, so let it be done!

Given under my hand on the Website of Free Republic, this 14th Day of March, in the Year of our Lord Two Thousand and Eleven and of the Independence of the United Sates the Two Hundred and Thirty-Fifth.

(There, that ought to satisfy the morons.)

Hey! It’s the Mexicans. Have ‘em get us a number 4 with two tacos. Otherwise, shut up and stand next to wall if the bathrooms haven’t been cleaned.

Thanks moonshinner_09.

In a related story, Americans tell these particular Mexicans to mind their own business, as well as telling them and the "Cuban 5", to shove their complaints up their asses.

Just wait a dang minute. A *few*, Marxist Mexicans wanted this.

If Sean Penn, Danny Glover, and Alec Baldwin decided that North Korea was just a peachy place, it would not be accurate to say that “Americans” thought so.

If you ask the typical Mexican on the street what he thinks about Cuba, he would probably shrug and say something similar to what Americans would say. “It’s a communist dictatorship, but I hear they have good cigars.”

Would that it were that easy. It’s long past time to lift the embargo. For decades, the Castro Crime Family has used the embargo to maintain their hold on the masses. I would be shocked if the Castro regime would last more than six months after we lift it.

There is NO embargo of Cuba. None, zip, zero nada. Cuba can “buy” all of the American goods its Commie hearts desires. The only embargo on Cuba is credit because Castro's one of the biggest deadbeats in the world!
