A group of U.S. pastors has arrived in Cuba, some wearing T-shirts reading: "Regime change in U.S., not in Cuba."
It's the 15th trip to the island police state for Pastors for Peace, who travel there in violation of U.S. law by going through Mexico.
The group brought tons of aid to help Cuba deal with the severe effects of a drought, which has made life even more miserable than it would normally be under Communism.
Among the supplies the group brought are school buses, medicines, medical equipment, computers and books.
PFP is an arm of the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization, based in New York. Since 1992, it has delivered 2,350 tons of aid to Cuba without requesting a U.S. government license, Cuban officials said.
The group wants to see an end to what it describes as "the immoral U.S. economic blockade" that began in the early 1960s.
Group leader Lucius Walker told Aljazeera.net yesterday that this year's mission comes at a crucial time for some of the "most disadvantaged people in the world."
He also condemned President Bush's "provocations and aggressions against Cuba."
Got it... "Pastors".... and Jim Jones was a "Reverend".
Exactly, statists will hide anywhere. They are completely immoral. The will pretend to be international socialist, ie Lenin etal., when that is popular. They will pretend to be national socialists, Hitler etal., when that is popular. They will pretend to be Christians or any other religion, if that is popular And they will pretend to be environmentalist, if that is popular.
They mostly pretend to be environmentalist these days. But there are enough Christians that they are happy to pretend to be one of theme and coop Christianity too.
This whole world has gone F'kin crazy!!! Ughhhhhh!
A religious organization advocating the election defeat of a sitting President? That could be a violation of IRS regulations regarding tax exempt non-profit groups. ACLU, Americans United For the Seperation of Church & State, Interfaith Alliance: Where's your outrage?
The idiots don't know (or admit to) the difference between an embargo and a blockade. We do not turn back any European ships heading towards Cuba. The only time we had a blockade on Cuba was during the missile crisis.
By the way, I want the embargo to end. Only I want it ended after Castro is hanged from a lamp post.
Since 1992, it has delivered 2,350 tons of aid to Cuba without requesting a U.S. government license, Cuban officials said.Sounds to me like some alleged pastors and the financial supporters of the organization should have been in jail for a while. Maybe in GTMO.
Just ask Maxine Waters.
Then again, I don't really see the point behind making a huge jailbreak from an American prison, then fleeing to a nation that's essentially one huge penal colony.
These leftists sure are quayzee!
Pious morons are really just suicidal idiots who would turn the other cheek for terrorists to smite them once again.
I, on the other hand, will take my Beretta, and smite them first and often.
Oh, he's a member of the block voting group that is 81% in favor of terrorist appeasers...
Castro, loving ruler of Free Cuba. Hack, gag, Barffffff.
