CUBAMA

The Obamissariat

“ CUBAMA Lifting the Cuba embargo The REAL story His minions (and low-information Americans whose knowledge of current events comes from the MSM and late-night TV talk shows) will claim that Barack Obama's "normalization" of relations with Cuba is Obama's "'Tear Down this Wall' Moment". But the truth is far less noble, at least for those who truly believe in freedom. For years, Cuba has been propped up by financial help from Venezuela and Russia. Now falling oil prices (thanks to "fracking") have impacted both those countries' revenues from the oil they produce; they no longer can afford to be so generous toward Cuba. So Obama has stepped in to help rescue "Uncle Fidel's Island Paradise"; lifting the embargo on Cuba will result in new avenues of financial support flowing into Cuba, but will not change the Cuban regime or its policies. So it's really just a matter of one Communist helping out another. Which brings us to a quote I ran across today from the REAL "Tear Down this Wall"-man himself, Pres. Ronald Reagan: "How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin." (Or my own formulation: You can always tell a Communist, but you can't tell him much.  - Skoonj) And let's not forget the grand hypocrisy of support for the Castro regime by anyone claiming to oppose racism, be it Obama or the Congressional Black Caucus (whose members have traveled to Cuba and fawned over the Castros) while the Castro regime practices blatant racism against Black Cubans.
