Castro and the lifts who love him

Clift Notes

Castro and the Clifts who love him
Rodge,

There's so much to comment on in this article that you just have to read it for yourself:


Teaser:

"According to a Spanish study, Fontova said, in 1842 Cuba's plantation slaves got royally decreed daily rations of 8 ounces of meat, 4 ounces of rice, 16 ounces of starch and 4 ounces of beans. By contrast, when Castro started rationing food in 1962, Cubans got 2 ounces of meat, 3 ounces of rice, 6.5 ounces of starch and 1 ounce of beans.

'Yet (Newsweek's) Eleanor Clift will tell us that to be poor in Cuba is better than to be poor in the U.S.,' Fontova said - a claim Clift made, he says, on TV's 'The McLaughlin Group' during the Elian Gonzalez debacle."

I'd venture a guess that the rations are somewhat lower today, what with 45 years of successful communism and all.

Eleanor Clift
Started out her career in Washington as a man then was one of the first that had the surgery to become a woman. He?she is still miserable after all these years. Still hates the US.

She could slice granite with her schnozzle. Not that that's a bad thing. For some reason, I have a fetish for women who need rhinoplasty. No lie.

Sure, it's possible that it's better to be poor in Cuba than in the U.S. I don't know, 'cause I've never been outside of GTMO. But, as has been pointed out by a better analyst than I, all one has to do is look at the evidence: WHICH WAY ARE THE RAFTS HEADED?

Saw this old clip of the now dead NBC anchorman, John Chancellor, listing a number of various commodities in the old USSR and commenting on how they're either in very short supply or just not available. After he's done with this litany, he looks right into the camera and says the problem isn't communism, it's shortages. Seriously.

A mentality like that, one that is so prevalant and one that is spoon fed into our kids from an early age from a number of sources. You just gotta ask, WTF? This country, the last hope of the world, is spinning off it's wheels.

I despair for my grandchildren, no frigging way will I allow them to be educated(?) at a public school.
