A historic day for freedom in Cuba!
The Real Cuba ^ | 5/20/05 | (identity withheld)

Posted on 05/20/2005 1:57:00 PM PDT by FormerACLUmember

Cuban dissidents meeting in Havana listen to a pre-recorded message from president Bush. "No tyrant can stand firm forever against the strength of freedom," said the president in Spanish. "Because the hope for freedom is in each of our hearts. So today, we are certain that Cuba soon will be free."

One of the Cuban dissidents gathering for an Assembly to Promote Civil Society in Cuba proudly displays his tattoos with the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers.More than 200 dissidents are currently meeting in the house of one of Cuba's best known dissidents.

Their first free vote in 46 years.

A reminder from President Bush to the liberals that the six vile socialist hellhole tyrannies he plans to liberate are Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Belarus, Zimbabwe, and Burma.

Heck, he might even try to free the enslaved peoples of Massachusetts, Chicago, and Berkeley next!

BUSH: "So today, we are certain that Cuba soon will be free."

Hmmmm, I wonder if Bush knows something about Castro's health that nobody else does? It would seem another thug is bound to step up and take control as soon as Castro dies.

Likely not. I believe Communism will be dead in Cuba before Castro assumes room temperature. Castro's brother has already been offered a place to live in Spain after his death, and it has been highly recommended that he accept that offer.

It may not be the liberty that we would hope for immediately, but Cuba will be free soon after Castro dies.

His brother, Raul, who (IIRC) is really running the show behind the scenes and is a bigger thug than Fidel. I don't think Raul's as big a windbag as Fidel, so he may not be quite as charming to the Hollyweird crowd.

Great photos. The only worry I have is how long after the folks go home will the roundups by Fidel begin?

I understand Sean Penn, Barbra Steisand, and Susan Sarandan have all been medicated for screaming hissy fits.
