Kowtowing To Castro
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 18 Dec 2006 | Editorial staff

Posted on 12/18/2006 3:46:07 PM PST by Kitten Festival

Latin America: Fidel Castro is dying, his 47-year tyranny is fading and who heads for Havana to offer aid and succor to its continuation? Congressman Bill Delahunt. There's something wrong here.

Delahunt's trip is an outrage. Like congressional Democrats who defied a White House request to not visit Syria last week, the Massachusetts Democrat and the nine members of his delegation rolled into Cuba to undercut U.S. foreign policy, which right now is trying to encourage democracy.

Delahunt argues that he's playing a constructive role, but that claim is belied by the contrast between the gentle tribute he paid to the Cuban dictatorship and his effort to investigate President Bush's Cuban democracy transition program in a bid to shut it down. Both coincide with the aims of the Castro regime.

Delahunt went to Castro like a colonial vassal, bearing offerings and tributes on the caudillo's own plantation.

Delahunt has been sucking up to Castro and needs to be called on the carpet for it. He's nothing but a sandalista useful idiot to communism.

The Democrats..almost since the Civil War have been hell bent on destroying this republic. Why expect them to change now?

They are doing these things and getting away with them. The system of three separate branches of government is beginning to come apart. No one is doing anything about it.

What political party threw Fidel a ticker tape parade in NYC back in the day?

Yep, the one and the same Democrat party.

Why is anyone surprised that Democrats and lefty Republicans are tripping over themselves to cozy up to the Cuban commies?

The democrats do whatever they want because they know the big media will not call them on it, in fact they will root them on.

They put Lautenberg on the ballot in NJ illegally.

They will now try to not let a republican governor replace Tim Johnson.

With power and the media they will run wild. They spit on the constitution daily, it means nothing to them, nothing. What matters to them is what laws they want to pass TODAY.

Curious what their strategy will be in '08 to win over the American-Cuban and Latino votes in the USA?

These Americans know the hardships of living under Castro and their likes. However, these politican's affection for Castro are that they live off the same high hog that Castro, Chavez and their cronies have for years as well.

When Castro bites the dust, you can be sure there will be civil war in Cuba. The exiles and oppressed are ready to fight for their freedom. The Dems and Chavez regime are already planning on how to keep the people down.

Iraq will look like a picnic compared to the chaos that will exist 90 miles from our shores.

Just MHO

AMERICAN CONGRESSMEN AIDING AND ABETTING THE CUBAN COMMUNIST REGIMEN

The mission of a group of American representatives trying to rescue and support the survival of the communist regimen even after Fidel Castro death borders in treason.

Have the American people forgotten that Castro tried to obliterate our cities by a nuclear missile attack during the Crisis of October of 1962, and the fact that Castro’s hatred towards our nation has not diminished during the 3 decades, just the opposite?

No less ominous is the menace that represents now the Axis of evil formed by Fidel and Raul Castro, Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, and several other Latin American countries on the verge to fall under communist regimes subservient to Cuba ’s anti-American policies.

Birds of the same feather flock together. Representatives William D. Delahunt and Jeff Flake seem to enjoy the hospitality of the torturers of the Cuban people during their frequent visits to Castro’s gigantic gulag. Representative William Delahunt is also a strong defender of Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan little tyrant.

During one of his frequent friendly visits to Cuba , right after 9/11, Delahunt placed a New York Fireman's cap on Castro's head, one of the main sponsors of Islamic terrorism. That was sacrilegious and offensive to the memory of those murdered on 9/11. Evidently, these people do not have any sense of shame or respect for their own country.

I believe that the main point of concern, regardless of any other important considerations, is that Castro's Cuba is the main haven and sponsor of terrorism in this hemisphere and those representatives, senators and business people, in dealing with Castro, are aiding and abetting terrorism and therefore, undermining the President's war against terrorist countries, and that in plain English is called treason.

Normalization of diplomatic relation with a terrorist state whose leader pledged three months before the September attack to put us to our knees? Castro has state of the art biological, chemical and cyber warfare capabilities

The irresponsibility of some American politicians is beyond irrational. One of the most stupid proposals was to provide the Cuban regime with state of the art radar under the pretense that Castro, whose one of his main sources of income is drug trafficking, will cooperate with us in the interdiction of drugs coming into the U.S. That is absolutely insane, that, in fact will facilitate the movement of drugs into the U.S. and enable him to easily fulfill his dream of obliterating our country as he pledged a few months ago at the University of Tehran in Iran .

We should keep in mind that in that trip Castro visited the main centers of terrorism in the Middle East . Was Castro giving the necessary intelligence information to the Al Qaeda terrorists that made possible the successful attacks of September 11th? The Russians have a spy base in Cuba that is their main source of intelligence. Why did the Russians decide to close their spy base there immediately after the attack? Were the Russians trying to disassociate themselves from Castro and the Al Qaeda partnership? Senator Specter recognized the extraordinary intelligence capabilities of the Cuban regimen. Castro in fact, had a mole at the highest levels of the Pentagon. Are we going to put our security in the hands of our worst enemy?

Nevertheless, Senator Specter is another of our unscrupulous politicians embarked in the mission to appease and support the Cuban communist regime even after Fidel’s death. Courting tyrants do not bring freedom and peace to the oppressed peoples. Carter’s policies of weakness brought us to the Iranian hostage crisis, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and more recently, the blessing of Hugo Chavez electoral fraud that made possible establishing “democratically” a communist dictator for life in Venezuela. It was Reagan’s policies of peace through strength that brought back freedom to half of Europe and the dismembering of the Soviet Union.

The American representatives of the Chamberlain sector in the Congress returned covered in shame from their appeasement trip to Cuba. Even though the missionaries of appeasement did not meet with the Cuban dissidents to avoid offending the Cuban rulers, they were not received by neither their “Máximo” leader nor by the tyrant in wait, Raul Castro, this in spite that they affirmed that Fidel Castro had no cancer much less dying. In their final declaration they avowed that with the Congress under the control of the democrats they would be able to pass legislation in support of the Cuban regime.

AFTER THEIR SUCCESS, THEY CAN PROUDLY PROCLAIM PEACE IN OUR TIME!!!! LONG LIVE FIDEL CASTRO AND HIS REGIME!!!!

All those involved in dealing with the enemy should be court martial for treason. Lenin affirmed that we would be the ones selling the rope to the communists in order for them to hang us. You go much further; you are providing the rope free of charge to Castro.

They're selling out to more than just America. Look at the changes we expect China to make in the near future and look how Vietnam is turning and moving more to our way of thinking. Now just what is the message being sent to those countries?

No wonder Russia is turning around and headed towards communism again. No wonder Chavez is in power. And no wonder Daniel Ortega was elected.

They are traitors. Bottom line though... the buck stops somewhere higher. What's the State Department and the WH doing about all of this?

I swiped the Castro & .wav from potlatch

GW2 (air guitar) goes back to 2003 I believe

The Hillarys Flag .gif is about a year old

The bottom one is one I got an idea about on one FR thread early today and made a composite 2nd frame for - then potlatch did some painting on it and animated and delay-timed it

Except for the bottom .gif it is exactly what I put on a new musical-parody webpage yesterday

--

We'll have more stuff to work with when Fidel hits room temperature

Specter sucks up to the Castros, conveniently forgetting that Bush threw his weight around in PA, to help Specter
get the nomination.
