Will Miami's little Havana go blue?

A superb, in-depth article - one of the best on the subject of the gradual transformation of the political scene in South Florida! At last there seems to be light, intelligence, and critical thinking at the "end of the tunnel of hate and myopic views" once so dominating in this area of the U.S. regarding U.S./Cuba relations.

A thousand-to-one odds - LOPM never bothered to read the article - it would take mental effort, thinking, and time to digest its contents! He'd rather just knee-jerk respond to Curious Geroge!

C E L E B R A T E !!!
Brothers & sisters! Once again we begin our countdown till October 10. The day we celebrate
Cuba's declaration of Independence as well as the day we celebrate "The Political Death of the Tyrant".
We all know fidel is gone! Dead or connected to a machine to keep his vitals going...he is gone.
That last edited video showed a cagalistroso that was severely demented. That was a highly edited video, from GOD knows when, and it was the best that they could offer.
We persisted so hard that the rumor spread and took hold.....many even celebrated.....a grassroots celebration born on-line, conceived by
some Cubans that got together & made friends while discussing topics and picking on the rats.
Remember how upset the rats were over the celebration? Hey guys it's not over! Let us start the countdown to our celebration & let it grow every year! Let it grow until it is bigger than the 4th of July and we all gather & celebrate In a free Cuba some day!
The C O U N T D O W N starts NOW!
Countdown to Celebration: 89 days to Oct 10

Yep! A thousand-to-one!

Who is Barack Hussein Mohamed Obama?

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that i s followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama hasm joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

"Senator Barack Hussein Obama":
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides," Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world, to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song " I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing". If that were our anthem, then I might salute it." IS THIS HOW HE PLANS TO KEEP AMERICA STRONG? Without patriotiusm & national pride the country cannot survive!

I agree !An excellent article indeed!Finally Cubans exiles are using their intelligence and not acting as a political block and are changing their ways to help to find a peaceful solution to a political transition in Cuba!!Which is excellent for the needed transition!.The problem that still remains is Castro's dictatorship,which every day is becoming more and more repressive and are widening their tunnel of hate ad myopic views!Cubans exiles are doing their share,but the dictatorship doesn't care or listen.The dictatorship is creating the conditions for a civil war in Cuba!It's just a matter of time now!

I did read the article, but if I ever found myself agreeing with an evil twisted entity like yourself, I would be very surprised indeed! Furthermore I would reexamine & revaluate everything in great detail because it would be very suspicious.

On my last trip to Cuba, I managed to keep several of Castro's agents busy.

Now that Cuban leader Fidel Castro has decided to step aside, I can only wonder if the new leader will turn toward openness and democracy or maintain the same paranoid, anti-American attitude fostered by Castro for nearly 50 years.

It's reasonable to believe that as long as Castro is alive the new leader will stay the course. That means the Communist Party, the military and the extensive security services will rule the country with an iron fist.

Fidel's retirement announcement was posted on the online edition of the Cuban Communist Daily paper Granma in the early morning hours.

Since there is no such thing as freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly or other freedoms most Americans take for granted, Cuba's elite party members, politicians and military leaders were given a heads up on Castro's plans.

There also is no such thing as government transparency in Cuba. The 81-year-old dictator has worked tirelessly to deny Cubans access to information not approved of by the government.

Radio and television programming is controlled by the government and crammed full of propaganda. Newspapers must comply with government regulations.

Dissenters in Castro's Cuba quickly become political prisoners.

Under Castro's totalitarian rule, any attempt to call for free and open multi-party democratic elections would result in a prison sentence. Any attempt to form a labor union would result in a prison sentence.

If the new leader — whether it is brother Raul or another Castro loyalist — does not release the political prisoners, it is unlikely that there will be any significant changes in Cuba.

Cuba has been an economic basket case from the time that Castro confiscated private businesses and erected his first "socialism or death" billboard.

The Kremlin propped up Castro's regime until the Soviet Union's socialist economy collapsed. Castro has attempted to blame Cuba's disastrous economy on the 46-year-old U.S. trade embargo despite the fact that the rest of the world is free to trade with Cuba.

The argument against lifting the embargo is simple: Why prop up a dedicated enemy?

Castro announced his anti-American feelings before he replaced Cuba's corrupt leader, Fulgencio Batista, with hardline communist rule.

Castro, who established alliances with America's most ardent enemies, attempted to launch anti-American communist revolutions in Africa and Latin America. He has continued to support governments that oppose U.S. policies.

Unless Cuba's leaders stop trying to harm the United States, it makes no sense support them in their efforts.

Before leaving for Cuba, I was told that the best way to avoid the irritation of being followed by government agents was to hire tour guides who would be government agents.

My tour-guide, government minders in Cuba never tired of denouncing the U.S. embargo while showing me the monuments and artistic works supporting the revolution.

Because Castro has placed all the blame for his country's poverty and deprivation at the feet of the U.S. embargo, the best argument I've heard to drop the embargo would be to deny the repressive Cuban regime of the excuse that the embargo provides the "Tropical Taliban."

It is Castro who has caused the humanitarian tragedy in Cuba, not U.S. policies. It was Castro who spurned human rights for Cubans. He should be blamed for the miserable conditions in Cuba, not the embargo.

Batista may have been corrupt, but he should have been replaced by a free and open democratic government accountable to the people, not Castro's totalitarian dictatorship.

Castro's resignation provides only a glimmer of hope.
