Funny how people go on like there is just the Castro brothers and no other commies in Cuba.

You want to buy my ride? Only 999,999,999 miles on this baby.

Now that was a laugh!

Where is the pic of the one they turned into a boat?

When los hermanos Castro son no mas is when we should talk to the Cubans. Not before.

Well now is the time for the Cubans who want change to take matters in their own hands.

Would the Castros risk ruining the deal by trying to clamp down on them?

“Did you feel the same when Nixon went to China?”

I was a kid.

But I think history shows it was a huge mistake.

Nixon and Kissinger did not even get what they wanted, an independent South Vietnam, out of it.

What we have is rather than a free a prosperous China, like Taiwan or S. Korea,new have a Marxist National Socialist state that has the largest GDP in the world.

Real life consequences? Many. For example the “Sony hack” is a consequence of the continued existence of the PRC.

Seems to me this would fall under the terms of a treaty.

" [The President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur..."

Treaty clause be damned. Oh wait... just do it during recess.

Please. Socialism is growing, no doubt. But until someone forcibly kicks you out of your house and confiscates your property “for the people”... then you don’t know what true communism is.

Yes, there’s no doubt that the technical quality of Cuban cigars - principally the rolling - has declined considerably in the past couple of decades; however, I still prefer the rich and nuanced flavor of the tobaccos from the Veulte Abajo.

Communism doesn’t have to be in complete control to be alive and well. Its advocates are still active,still determined,still making inroads in our government and our society. But no matter whether its communism,socialism, or fascism, its still a movement for total control of our country and we do business with it at our own peril.

I’m with you on the pointless and self-destructive War on Drugs. In Washington, DC, the people learned that pot use was 50:50 white and black, while arrests were 90:10, with Hispanics counted as white. This November, they voted 70% to legalize possession of up to 2 ounces of pot and growing up to 6 plants indoors, 3 of which could be mature, but the rest seedlings. Now since DC is still subject to Congressional rule, which includes NOT having the right to spend their own tax money, Congress may cancel the will of the people. If you care about this, you should contact your House and Senate representatives and tell them this is wrong. The fact that 640,000 people in DC have NO vote in Congress is also wrong. Last year when the government shut down, the Mayor ignored the law and kept the DC government open collecting garbage, fixing pot holes, etc.

Do they have any children? I believe a daughter of Castro left the country permanently.

You mean dumb , stupid vacationers from Europe go to Cuba .....

I never wanted to give money to Castro .

One problem is the stupidity more and more of western people crowds mostly linked to media brainwashing .

Maybe we have “normal” relations with China ....So what ?
That’s precisely wrong and a shame since we have lost or soul and principles ....meanwhile the chinese regime is still here and didn’t change fondamentally .

I don’t think we are , and that obama is , preparing a bright future .
I am convinced that , with that snake obama , there is an agenda liked with “amnesty” , elections ....

aNOTHER big way that leftists have found to trash our western-christian civilisation is a big stream of immigration from the third-world ( remember that obama’s mother was one of that lunatic leftist “anthropologist” and his father a black activist probably fullv of hate against white and christians....)

As a catholic i am disgusted , very concerned , by the role played by that “pope” of catholic church

Bravo

and all the commie-leftist shamefull crowd , which is still controling medias to control the people , are all excited and say viva obama , viva bergoglio that strange pope from south america .....For them it’s wonderfull and obama is a great peace nobel price ....

Yes the role are reversed and “communism”-socialism and liberal-fascism is destroying western nations from inside via massive immigration .

Communism has muted , changed . It’s the era of Gramsci and of a neww hiden tyranny
