A beautiful impoverished island which is a 1950s Communist Stalinist Time Warp museum. Fidel Castro has created a society in which no one makes more than $15 a month and the necessities of life are in short supply. The Left adores Cuba but none of them wants to live there. Even for the "free medical care." Socialism is something to be admired from a distance.

50s Time-Warp Museum - Exactly. Rotary phones, Packards, one B&W TV (if you have one), $15 a month .... it's a quaint trip down memory lane to a simpler time for the likes of Speilberg, Ed Asner, or Nicholson.

The Cuban people need to liberate themselves.

We can open the door, but they must choose to walk through.

I just saw Andy Garcia's "Lost City". It's his movie about Cuba and Castro's revolution in 1959. It was a good movie and it didn't put the commies in a good light.

I was able to visit Potsdam in East Germany shortly after the wall fell.

It was like a scene out of a movie made in the 40s.

I am always puzzled and amazed by the Leftist claims of superior health care in Cuba. How good can health care be if you don't have soap?
