We may see another outrage like happened the past few times this idea was floated. But I suspect not this time. And I have always wanted to visit Cuba. Why should the US government make me jump through absurd hoops to do it? Who are they to tell me where I can and cannot go?
My wife is from there, you’re not missing much.
And exactly why do you want to visit a communist country? Are you planning on visiting North Korea also? Any money you spend in Cuba will support the Regime.
Me too ...
If you really want to go, you can, through an alternate route.
The reason is because Cuba is run by a murderous, communist regime that officially supports Marxists terrorists (you know, the same ones that Slick Willie pardoned on his way out).
The embargo was for two reasons:
1. To remain distant from those nations that run oppressive regimes until they allow some form of democracy so that their citizens have some say in their government.
2. To starve them of funds so that they are forced to allow their citizens some say in their government.
OK, it has only worked marginally. But in the past few years, the Cuban government has become just about bankrupt. Obammie the Commie is doing this for one reason: to prop up a communist regime that is about to collapse.
Do you really think this will benefit the people of Cuba?
Do you really think the people of Cuba will see dime one of any revenue the government receives through trade or direct handouts?
But you want to go there. No problem. Many do. Can I ask you one question? Why isn’t Obammie the Commie demanding any sort of reform, even a quisling little half-way “made-for-headlines” promise of change that would really mean nothing and could easily be ignored?
I’ll tell you why.
The same reason that Obammie the Commie said (during the debates) he would be willing to negotiate with Iran without preconditions being met: his goal is to prop up third-world despotic regimes and to elevate them in the world’s eyes by inviting them to the international table.
Why?
Because he hates America. Because he wants to drag America and all of our traditions and ideals through the mud. And one of the best ways that leftists have found to do this is through moral relativism.
Who are we to say that throwing people in jail because they wrote a critical poem, or because they are homosexual, or because they brought the wrong book into their library are any worse than we are? We are no better, ergo, they are our equals and we must invite them in.
