To lgm and those who agree with him…there was a blockade 50 years ago…now the only country that doesn’t trade with Cuba is the U.S. No more blockade.

You are right, there is no blockade. That’s what I said and it’s what the AP said. The only one who got it wrong was the wingnut “grading” the AP.

Cross the boarder into Canada and buy some Cuban Cigars. As I posted earlier, if that country is so well off, why isn’t everyone driving around in a BMW?

mChristian. I too do not really understand how “journalists” educated in the USA could lie and misrepresent this communist regime. One answer comes to mind: Brainwashed since the 1970s by draft-dodging “professors” hiding in university.

I think anyone who praises Fidel Castro’s educational and health programs ought to be deported to Havana. Enjoy the lack of freedom, crappy health care in filthy hospitals with ancient equipment (but hey, it’s free), food rations, and the impoverished standard of living unless you’re a member of the party elite. Replace the MSM and Hollywood Castro fanboys with Cuban immigrants who will appreciate what we have here in America and give back far more than the ungrateful a-holes sent over there.

lgm is, typically, more concerned about disputing terminology than, you know, the brutal oppression of the Castroist regime.

Uhhh…when the entire point of the post is to question the terminology and phraseology of the MSM, lgm is correct to point out when those that are judging are wrong.

I suspected the article was full of “it”, so I did a spot check. The first thing I checked was wrong. I suspect the rest is wrong too. Just for fun, check the second or third claims. They will be wrong too. The whole thing is BS.

FamilyMan,
I liked After Fidel by Brian Latell.
http://www.amazon.com/After-Fidel-Updated-Castro-Revolution/dp/1403975078/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230938754&sr=8-1

(I think I read it before the “updated version,” though.)

Does anyone know if Havana Nocturne is any good? I’m very interested in Cuban history, but most books seem to portray Fidel Castro as some kind of a hero. At least one that didn’t, Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant, I think, was too heavy on ranting and too light on historical information for my tastes. (The last two comments are from skimming in bookstores.) I’m looking for concrete, balanced information, including dates and very specific events. Thanks!

Do these idiots think those poor people were just misinformed or unaware of how good their lives really were?

CWinNY, what's the matter with you? Don't you know that Elian Gonzales is happy and contented in the worker's paradise of Cuba?

One thing I will never understand about liberals is how they cannot understand that no person will give up his home, his neighborhood, everything that he grew up with, and risk his and/or his family's lives to escape a political system that he thinks is bad; he will do so to escape a system he knows to be intolerable. It just seems to me to be a complete lack of common sense and self-delusion to ignore the thousands of Cubans who have fled Cuba under Castro. Do these idiots think those poor people were just misinformed or unaware of how good their lives really were?

It’s a bit like faulting Mein Kampf for spelling errors.
