The hurt just doesn't go away does it?

No Luis it doesn't. The look on that childs face............Has anyone seen a pic of Elian smiling since the raid?

[Howlin]

It's not just you. Not only is it wrong, it's ridiculous.

[DeSoto]

I am nearly speechless at this article. If I didn't know you so well, I would accuse you of making it up. But the fact is that nobody could make up a story so bizarre. My first thought was Rod Serling was alive and directing another Twilight Zone.

In the 48 years that I have been on the planet, I can't recall anything that is more weird than this award.

Thanks for the flag.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Good to see you my friend.

[Congressman Billybob]

Thank you VERY much for putting up the link to the members of these various Boards of Trustees. I read the lists, getting madder and madder.

Then, I pulled Ol' Billybob outta retirement and fired up my latest column (#284) on this precise subject. Click below to see how your effort turned into my column.

Congressman Billybob

Click for Billybob's latest column, unless you're offended by the word "whore." It's about the press.

Thanks for a great read CBb. You know these old communists just hold their sides laughing each time
they come up with a good cover name for their communist activities. Freedom Forum. You've pegged them. They are journalist whores.

It's not just you. This is...perverse.

[Budge]

"Besides being able to survive at sea, our Free Spirit Award committee said that through his ordeal Elian was able to come back and laugh no matter how many grown-ups were tugging at him," said Neuharth.

Are the slaves in Cuba still allowed to laugh, Luis?

The only "grown-ups" tugging at him were the leftist, socialist, behind-kissing liberal communist-loving clintons. Which include Reno, Greg Gregg and the totally brain dead.

[Budge]

"Greg Gregg" = Gregg Criag above.

[Budge]

A #284 CBb bump. Thank you Congressman Billybob!

[Luis Gonzalez]

BUMP! For a great column!

[austinTparty]

More than just wrong... it's sickening. Those bastards give a "Freedom" medal to a child whose freedom they helped to take away. How they can sleep at night is beyond me.

[f.Christian]

#42...Luis and Howlin---amazing!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

This is the picture they should have on that plaque.

[No!]

Just plain EVIL!

And USA today Sucks! :)

[AAABEST]

After that raid, and those disgusting pictures that followed, I went out and bought the best rifle I could possibly afford.

I made a commitment to myself that nobody is ever, EVER going to do that to me or anyone I love. Every single true American should make the same commitment.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Find a donkey to revive the old act with yet?

[Rick_Hunter]

Just plain EVIL! And USA today Sucks! :)

Oh yeah, it definitely sucks, especially when I see so-called "conservatives" carrying on over an illegal immigrant. His feet didn't touch dry land, so he should have been sent back to his immediate family in Cuba after being rescued. If they had done that, we wouldn't have the controversy about it now. How come none of you express the same outrage over political asylum seekers from China who have their appeals rejected and get sent back to that country along with their families? China's human rights abuses are certainly far worse than Cuba's. In fact, would any of you have protested as much if Elian had been Chinese, or Vietnamese, or North Korean? And I'm sure most of you supported Proposition 187, which denied education access to the children of illegal immigrants in California. I have no love for Fidel Castro or Janet "We had to burn those kids to save 'em" Reno, but the utter hypocrisy and double standards that many people have on this issue makes me sick. Immigration seems to be made special for the Cubans, and it's ridiculous.

And to anyone I p***ed off with this post, oh well. If the Mariel boat lift didn't change your mind about the Cuban immigration issue, I don't know what will.
