CBC: Congressional boot-lickers
My Good Friday column this week spotlights the religious oppression in Cuba that the Congressional Black Caucus tools of Fidel Castro choose not to see. If ignorance is bliss, the CBC members who went on tour with the tyrant are the most ecstatically happy people on the planet.
And just a reminder that I’m on a partial Easter break from the blog. Doug Powers and several Tea Party guest bloggers will be holding the fort down the next few days. Enjoy!

CBC: Congressional Boot-Lickers for Castro

Congressional Black Caucus Democrats went to Cuba to see what they wanted to see. Not since New York Times reporter Walter Duranty traipsed around Stalin’s Russia, filing cheery travelogues whitewashing Communist-engineered famine, has America witnessed such disgraceful propaganda tourism.
Led around by the nose by the Castro brothers, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver declared “if there is repression in Cuba we didn’t see it.” Somehow, the gulags and slums got left off the itinerary. Go figure. The CBC members saw, instead, a land of milk and honey. Fresh air and freedom. Shiny, happy people cared for by a kindly, benevolent leader. As Comrade Fidel himself put it in his official statement on the visit: “Persons who move on the streets in an active and almost always happy manner do not match with the stereotyped images that most of the times are portrayed about Cuba abroad.”
Rep. Cleaver swallowed the Kastro Kool-Aid in one big gulp: “We’ve been led to believe that the Cuban people are not free, and they are repressed by a vicious dictator, and I saw nothing to match what we’ve been told.” Cleaver unabashedly basked in the cult of Castro’s personality: “He’s one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met.”
Lord, what tools these lawmakers be.
Accompanying Cleaver were radical left-wing House Democrats Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, Bobby Rush, Marcia Fudge, Mel Watt, and Mike Honda. Rep. Rush was enraptured by the tyrant’s “keen sense of humor, his sense of history and his basic human qualities.” Lee fawned over the Castros like your neighborhood ‘tweens giggle over the Jonas Brothers. The aging dictator Fidel “looked directly into our eyes,” she delighted. Where was he supposed to look? Into their ears? He “was very engaging and very energetic,” she confided.
Yes, ask the dozens of independent journalists and dissidents jailed over the last six years: Fidel’s a veritable fuzzball.
It’s too bad Castro’s American boot-lickers jetted back home (why is it these fervent admirers of the Communist regime always buy themselves return tickets?) before Easter. They might have run in to someone with seeing eyes who could have reminded them of the religious oppression that the kindly Castros oversee. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom reported last year that “[r]eligious belief and practice remain under tight governmental control in Cuba…Both registered and unregistered religious groups continue to suffer official interference, harassment, and repression. Political prisoners and human rights and pro-democracy activists continue to be denied the right to worship.” The panel compiled reports of religious leaders “being attacked, beaten, or detained for opposing government actions.”
The Cuban Communist Party requires religious groups to register to obtain official recognition. They must inform the regime “where they will conduct their activities” and obtain official permission to travel. The distribution of Bibles is controlled by the government. Processions and worship services outside tightly-regulated religious buildings are not allowed without permission of the local ruling official of the Communist Party. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is expressly forbidden from proselytizing. Religious schools are banned.
Two years ago, the U.S. international religious freedom panel reported, a Pentecostal preacher and his family were evicted from their home and their church demolished. A month after that, police raided the Santa Teresita Catholic Church in Santiago de Cuba, beat several persons gathered for Mass who participated in a political protest earlier that day, and detained 18 worshipers.
Every Sunday in Havana, a brave group of jailed dissidents’ wives walk to a government-approved Mass at an old Catholic cathedral to pray for their husbands’ freedom. They are known as the Ladies in White. The group has been harassed and bullied by Castro’s henchmen at Easter time for demanding regime change. Their church is named for Saint Rita, the patroness of lost causes. The hopeless sycophants of the Congressional Black Caucus, willfully blind to Castro’s systemic brutality, could certainly use the saint’s intercession.

I doubt, even after this, Americans will wake up.
How many of these CBC folks are up to their ears in ACORN chicanery and the FMAE/FMAC sub-prime fiasco? Isn’t Laura Richardson the one who doesn’t pay her mortgage? What jokes these people are. Talk about believing a lie and being damned. I never thought that I would live to see our country led (straight to hell) by such weak brained idiots.
Perhaps these CBC members should spend a few days in Miami with the residents of “Little Havana” … hopefully they would have a Paul Harvey moment and learn “the rest of the story” …
As for the CBC members of this little taxpayer paid vacation group … what a bunch of biased idiots …
We are supposed to have confidence in the opinions of a prominent “Black Panther” from Chicago (Bobby Rush), a “Black Panther community worker” from the bay area with a degree from Berkley (Barbara Lee), and a chronic “default-a-holic” from Southern CA (Laura Richardson) …
Yep … that sure strikes me as a really trustworthy group …
Marxist tools. Useful idiots.
Wonder how far they would get without their “handlers” watching their every move.
Does anybody know why we don’t have a Congressional white caucus?
Check out my photo shop take on the Congressional Black Cauc-Asses in Cuba

The Left would love to have Cuba-style control of church activity here in America!
orlandocajun …
they could call it the Congressional Caucasian Caucus … or C3 …
I thought the Fascist didn’t get along with the Communist. I guess you learn something new everyday.
What is even more scary than this ridiculous propaganda trip to Cuba is the fact that these nitwits are even in Congress to begin with!!!! These idiots vote on laws! How far have we fallen that these are the people who represent us? My God, how pathetic!
jjmurphy …
I have 3 words for you … TERM LIMITS NOW …
All of America is going to look like Havana soon. Just give it a month or two.
I like the other term the Brits use for useful idiots like the CBC — Lick Spittles.
The fact that these libidiots or as otherwise known, useful idiots got elected by the people is a scary fact.
It testifies to the ignorance of too many voters. It screams of the lack of knowledge of history. It is pathetic.
Why in the world did the cbc go there anyway?
I don’t see any purpose that it served.
Except that it gave B. Rush another opportunity to call Americans raaaccciisst.
stillontheroad:
lick·spit·tle (lksptl) – A fawning underling; a toady.
I like it!
DesertLover – I am all for term limits!
Desert…I like it! I’ll go with Caucasian Caucus from now on.
So you send Marxists to a Marxist country, do you expect they’re going to see anything amiss? Heck, Hugo Chavez probably already has his invitation to the CBC in the mail as we speak. Come down and see the true Venezuela, right? I never thought I’d live to see the day that Nikita Krushchev’s boast about his children or grand-children defeating ours would be so close to happening, and from within our own government.

And the model for that church would be found in Chicago. One fomerly “pastuered” by a tool named Wright?
Why is there even such a thing as the CBC? It’s discriminatory, exclusionary and racist.
Oh, I forgot. It’s liberal.
Would I be wrong to ask if there’s a “Congressional WHITE Caucus”? Oh.
These idiots are the poster children for birth control. If they were required to STAY in Cuba, that would be one thing Castro would do that I would applaud.
CBC = Collectively Blind CooCoos!
Deadbeat Laura Richardson (doesn’t pay her mortgages) gets an expensive taxpayer-subsidized car and a tax-payer funded vacation to Cuba. She then has the gall to praise a communist/Marxist dictator who has spent a life-time trashing America. Don’t Richardson and her idiot caucus mates know that the boat people are fleeing Cuba for America? Send them a note…”no Americans are trying to flee to Cuba”.
Racist
Next stop for the cbc: North Korea or Iran? They will find more happy shiny people there.
They got along quite well until the madman Hitler attacked the madman Stalin. Before that they had a “working relationship”. Even carved eastern Europe up between them. And yes the western left was okay with it.
In the late 50’s and early 60’s, Castro’s family fled Cuba for asylum in other countries. I’m sure they were just lied to, and Fidel was neither vicious or repressive.
Our government is made up of the most useless of us.
crapweasel, the difference between fascism and communism is mainly in terminology. Both types of regimes seek to centralize all power: government, educational, corporate, religious,…
As long as we are looking for appropriate “c” words, collective and clowns come to mind.
At the risk of being called (inaccurately) a “racist”, perhaps the Black Caucus’ refusal to acknowledge the religious oppression of Castro’s regime will finally put the rest the widely held–those easily disproved–notion the blacks are so much more church/religion-oriented than others.
But, they do seem to have cornered the market on “preachers” who aren’t affiliated with any particular church, but rather act as self-aggrandizing “activists” {think Jesse, Al, Louis, et al}.
There are scores of black leaders who sympathize with the likes of Castro. Is it any wonder that so many black-dominated cities are such hell holes? This is a perfect example of how the Cult of the Victim degrades the human spirit in which hating and blaming others takes precedence over one’s, and children’s, welfare. Sadly, this sentiment, as it so glamorized, will continue for many decades to come.
Ditto! And anyone with felony convictions should be excluded from any public office or public service. Chicago thugs like Black Panther Bobby Rush should shunned, not shuttled around on the taxpayers dime. What a creep.
Actually its a valid question to the discussion and its one we have been having at the University of Memphis on why we have two of almost every club on campus. Our fraternities are self segregated with the black frat refusing to pledge any non-black to their frat, while the other frats will pledge any guy irregardless of race.
When the black community begins to condemn racism from within their own culture (not just conservative blacks), then maybe society might be able to move on. But as long as blacks preach racism in their churches, demand special privledges based on race, and condone the racist behavior of jackson et al then society won’t move forward.

Seems to me that on the observance of Good Friday commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ, it would have been more appropriate to post something positive and uplifting instead of the usual political carping.
Emanual Cleaver is ‘my’ representative here in Kansas City. He is a United Methodist MINISTER….A PREACHER! I suppose in his seeing the good of all people, he didn’t consider the possibility of religious oppression.
Go figure. The Black Caucus would take a tour on a “plantation” run by a hispanic despot and come out say it is a “paradise”. I guess they think that the South was a “paradise” before the Civil War. Shameful.
Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Chicago and Al Sharpton of New York are not isolated incidents–This IS Black Urban America from which our President comes-bitter, resentful and out for revenge. Abraham Lincoln was just a honkey and all non black people are would be slave masters. Any black people who are NOT screaming idiots are race traitors.
Sad to say I see little sense in trying to get along-there was a time we had hope but the White Guilt Cult and Black Victim Industry- aka Liberals- have a stake in the Revenge Industry.
Representative Bobby Rush of Chicago and the Black Caucus was a founding member of the Black Panthers.As far as- the black community begins to condemn racism- the black gangs would kill them yesterday. I have an idea that any blacks who wanted out of that sewer got out years ago.
But imjustsaying, what you have mentioned reflects the trials of people who follow the teachings of Christ. I hope Cuban Christians will find a way to celebrate Easter Sunday.
GladzKravtz …
It’s hard to see anything when you have blinders on …
This bunch are just typical liberals who only see what they want to see and then only interpet what they see in the way they want it to be …
Heaven forbid they would have ever thought about asking any serious questions while they were in Cuba … or come back and report the truth about conditions in Cuba …
cleaver and the other slugs didn’t see repression while in cuba. hey moron it’s kind of hard to see anything when your head is firmly inserted up your behind and only comes out to have another cold one with the castro brothers. and these creatures are suppose to be intelligent, they are nothing more than parasites.
DesertLover, sad isn’t it? I wonder if the R-E-V-E-R-A-N-D (as Rush says it) Cleaver has any pangs of guilt (thunderbolts from on High) when he puts his political ideology/need for power over his Christian beliefs.
Slavery doesn’t seem to bother these people as long as the right people are the slavemasters. I still believe there should be a literacy test for voters.
A Telling Statement!
“We would willingly have to suspend disbelief” is what Hillary would say.
GlaszKravtz …
If he was my “reverend” I would be making it a point to bring up the issue within the congregation to point out his hypocrisy …
oops … GladzKravtz … sorry about that …
I guess we can call out Wade as one of those Guilt Ridden Liberals that throws money at a problem and walks proudly but is never seen at a soup kitchen or a halfway house.
DesertLover, woooo wouldn’t that be good!
And, you can call me Glasz or Gladz..”ya just doesn’t have to call me johnson”…
FIFY
Good! I’m glad that’s settled once and for all. No reason to lift the U.S. embargo, since everything is so peachy keen!
What a conundrum for the Castro brothers. Let’s see…should we show them all the poverty and misery in order to appeal to their humanity to lift the embargo, or, put on a happy face to prove those austere sanctions put in place in 1962 had no impact on the People’s Revolution? Hmmm…tough call, that.
I guess I disagree with your point. I do not think they are willfully blind at all. I think they approve of Casto’s methods and would enthusiastically use them here, if they could get away with it.
They may have been born here, but they are not Americans, when it comes to values, beliefs, and loyalties. They are racists in the mold of Robert Mugabe.
Meanwhile, here is exclusive footage of Hugo Chavez’s latest visit to Fidel’s bedside. Their solidarity and comradely affection is too touching for words.

Funny how Cuba keeps talking about the revolution. They are now the establishment. Kind of like how we’re going to keep hearing about Change for the next four years.
God will judge those congressmen one day.
The CBC isn’t about being BLACK. It’s about being COMMUNIST.
It’s true name is the Congressional Communist Caucus.
How STUPID… I remember traveling into E. Berlin on a tour bus, they took you down well lit streets, BRIGHT, BRIGHT lights.. BUT, if you looked down the alleys, BLACK, DARK… The communists will show you what THEY want you to see.. And these idiots believe them??? They are as bad, if not worse than Michael Moore…
I say this as one who thinks the embargo on Cuba is stupid and should be revisited…
These buffoons need to go. I am happy to spot your side a couple of seats, if that is what it takes.
***
Cleaver and the other CBC members who went to Castro’s prison island are useful communist tools and collaborators and are traitors to the U.S.A. and it’s ideals of Democracy and Liberty.
***
Read a brave Cuban patriot’s blog–GENERACIONY–by Yoanni Sanchez–to see how things really work in Cuba. Then read the past 10 years National Geographic articles on Cuba for additional information.
***
HIGHLIGHTS OF COMMUNIST CUBA:
***
AIDS infected people put in work camps.
***
One party rule–one name to vote for.
***
Dual money system–one for party leaders and their ilk. Another one for the average Cuban.
***
Government ownership of your home.
***
Government ownership of almost all businesses.
***
Doctors and taxi drivers earn the same $20. per month “income”. Doctor has no medicine. Taxi driver has a 50 year old car–and makes more than the doctor by driving rich tourists to “see the girls”–known as JINETARAS (hookers in Cuban Spanish).
***
Empty store shelves and food shortages for the average Cuban. Special stores and good food for the ruling class. Less food for the average Cuban under Castro than they had under Batista.
***
Prison and job loss punishments for those the government suspects of political activity.
***
Internet access for foreigners and party officials. Clandestine access for the very tricky Yoani Sanchez.
***
BLOCK POLICE that spy on every resident on the block and report their activities to the security police.
***
The CBC members do not stand for liberty and / or freedom. THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED TO CUBA! Let’s see how they like living there–with the average Cuban. Red China or Venezuela would work also as a learning experience.
***
Cuba looks a lot like the U.S. Deep South during pre Civil War and segregation days. Why would a bunch of Black idiot congressmen wish this evil on the brave Cuban People? Why would they sell out the Cuban People’s freedom?

Boy, if there was ever a TRUTH uttered in this country…. YOU GET THE GOVERNMENT YOU DESERVE…
CBC = MORONS
I tried going to the website for the Congressional Black Caucus……. but it is unavailable….What a surprise.
Michelle, You made one mistake in your first paragraph. You said that not since Walter Duranty of the NY Times have we seen such shameless propaganda. That is not quite true. Roger Cohen has just returned from a brief vacation in Iran and has been enthralling his antiIsrael readers in the Times with his love poems to Khameini and Ahmedinejad. Cohen interviewed “representatives” of Iran’s Jewish community and Cohen breathlessly announced that all the Iranian Jews agreed with him (Cohen) about Israel’s criminal misbehavior and all the Iranian Jews love living in the Islamic Republic. Cohen then announced that young people in Iran are just like young Americans “surfing the internet”. Cohen forgot to mention that the Iranian government uses the latest Chinese technology to eliminate web sites that dare to criticize Iran’s repression. Cohen also noted that the Iran government was moderate, peaceful and helpful to the US (LOL Roger).
So the three clowns in Havana aren’t the first blind mice to travel abroad since Duranty. Roger Cohen’s excellent Iran adventure takes first place in the “foolish liberal late middle age crisis trip abroad contest”.
The only way that would work is during times of extreme prosperity here. Then you lift all restrictions and watch as the flood of dollars and visitors topples the government.
Personally, my feelings are mixed. I know a lot of Americans of Cuban descent and feelings on the issue run both ways. They don’t want to see their families suffer, but they don’t want to support Castro’s regime.
How is it possible to have a government sponsored Congressional Black Caucus? How is this not contrary to our Constitution?
Anyone can have their own club but this is a government sponsored club and a voting block. I don’t want my Congresswoman to be part of a voting block but to do what is best for my district and my state and vote accordingly. She should be doing what is best for all.
During WWII the Germans made a “Dog and Pony” film of Thereisenstadt concentration camp. The camp was spruced up to look like the ideal town (a land of milk and honey?) and people who looked healthy and were coached to look and talk happy were put up front ( happy, healthy Cubans walking around town?). Behind the scenes we know now what was really going on. Will any of these Congress people be able to look Cuban refugees in the eye and explain how they bought what Castro was selling?
Cuba represents the down side of Democrats’ fav tool of diplomacy – the embargo – and presents them w/ the fact that it seldom does anything to influence a rogue nation’s leader to our way of thinking, and too often only works to make the people’s lives a misery on earth.
The world’s strong-arm dictators like Castro and Jong-il only understand resolution and strength in negotiations – something Democrats need to consider in their future dealings w/ dictators in places like N. Korea and Iran.
That being said, I wish the embargo could be lifted yesterday – we need Cuba as friend and trading partner during these turbulent times – but since we’ve come these forty-plus years with the embargo and the Castros are still in power, I think we should continue it until there is a regime change there or risk coming off as weak willed and disingenuous.
Containment works. Engagement simply strengthens your enemy.
Containing Russia worked. Engaging China has been an utter disaster.
The CBC is a whining sniveling racist club anyway. Only brain dead dems need apply. They just love to slam the US, and cozying up to Castro is a way to do that. Keep it up, Dim-ocrats. The 2010 election is not that far off. You idiots have really sh***t the bed since November. I hope to see 100 campaign ads of OBama bowing to the pig king of Saudi Arabia. That by itself will do that fool in.
Stuff like this makes me despair for the future of this country. How could they ever got elected and how isn’t what they did a scandal? We have a Congress full of honest-to-God America-hating traitors.
The leftist statism MUST be crushed in order for America to survive and not become another China or Cuba. The Berlin Wall has to be torn down in our own country. What sucks is that it’ll probably go beyond my lifetime in order to accomplish it.
That elects such a Congress.
If the church has to get permission to spread the gospel, THAT IS NOT FREEDOM.
Agree with #17, those radical US legislators can’t reocognize repression because it is their deathwish.
Cuba is no China.
Lifting the embargo is a big, big gamble. The only way the flood of money would work is if we were prosperous and had plenty of money to burn. Even then, there’s a good chance the government will just consolidate their power and have a lot more money to throw around. By trying it now when there would only be a trickle of money is just foolish.
Not if they keep on the same track. This last election has emboldened these closet socialists, causing them to emerge before the complete disintegration of American liberty has been completed.
With patriotic Americans left to fight them, and shed the light on their plans to destroy OUR country, we still have a chance to keep America strong and free. Exposure is the key! Shine the light on these cockroaches, and watch them scramble over one another to hide in the filth whence they came.
Cuba does not bother me at all-embargo or no embargo I really don’t have a dog in that fight. The world is just full of tin pan ally thugs such as Castro and kin. Americans sucking up to Castro bothers me a LOT. Sadly there is no way we can force the shuck and jive meisters of the Black Caucus STAY in Cuba.The same scumbags who droll over Cuba ranted like stuck pigs over South Africa-there is a difference?
Can’t we all get along? I am not going to even try. Call it the Maxine Waters affect.
You may have seen the latest Rasmussen Poll that says only 53% of Americans think Capitalism is better than socialism. Bad news. Even worse? Among people under 30, only 37% prefer capitalism, 33% prefer socialism, 30% are too stupid to pick one.
This does not bode well for the future. But I am not the least bit surprised.
GraniteMan, except in this case, wherein she would agree with them! She’s an Alinski-ite!
Hillary apologizes to Mexico?? These fools apologize to Cuba?? Good thing Hitler’s not alive – A Democrat might try to seduce him..
If Cuba is so good how come it is so dark at night? Where is their electricity? Where is their modern standard of living?
You can faintly see the Northern edge of Cuba just below the glittering image of Florida in this NASA poster “Earth At Night”.
{^_^}
Earth at Night
Sorry ’bout that.
{o.o}
Joe Biden has 3 words for you: O kay.
Not really fair comparison. Half that light in Florida is coming from the gay discotheques.
LOL!
When I first started my career in the field of civil engineering back in 1984, my first supervisor was Cuban-American. If I recall correctly, both of his parents had fleed Castro’s Cuba, so my supervisor did not hold Fidel in high regard.
It’s in poor taste I know, but I think the biggest disappointment to me in this article was that Fidel was apparently in the entourage which led the CBC on their tour. Because he hasn’t been seen in public lately, I thought there was the possibility that he had died and that the Cuban government was not announcing it until Raul was firmly in control. I guess we’ll just have to wait a little longer…
Nowhere. They have tilted so far to the left for so long they’d simply walk around in circles without a “handler” telling them what to do, where to go and what to say.
Thant would be 63% who prefer someone else be responsible for their care and welfare. Its just that 30% don’t care who it is as long as they don’t have to make a decision themselves.
Figure you are speaking from the experience of visiting them??? How would you know otherwise?
I know your post was sarcasm but I couldn’t pass this one by.
Had to step in for a quick comment on this one.
The reason the Democrats don’t see Cuba’s (or any communist nation’s) religious oppression is because they approve. That’s what they’d do, tried to do in the past, and will try to do in the future.
Religion is the liberator from the tyranny of the state. Democrats and other statists don’t like competition.
Members of the CBC are, after all, actively living the life of Judas. Betraying their own “folk” by keeping Black American children in failing schools; eliminating entry jobs to prevent Black Americans from gainful employment; and worst of all – they are all democRATS. traitors to America and freedom everywhere. And also most are felons. Since Castro is a crook who commands and runs an entire country like a prison, its no wonder that the CBC admires him. They all want his “job.”
Massah Castro shore is good to dem Cubans. Dey is all so happy pickin sugar cane.
IS the CBC making a parody of the antebellum south and its cotton plantations and slavery? It is unbelievable to hear the CBC talk like slave owners – “Yeah sure the slaves are happy and well treated. They like plantation life.”
I said it in an earlier thread about how these people want to be prostrate before a “great leader” so bad that they can taste it. They have slave mentalities, borne out of a culture where the concept of the individual has been destroyed, and everyone has their hands out demanding that “the government” give them their daily bread (not to mention a weekly paycheck, health care, four wheels to get around in, and a place to lay their head).
It’s funny when you hear the “man in the street” segments on Sean Hannity’s radio program, where he’ll ask people what they expect from the government, and afterwards he’ll tell them that their expectations are the essence of Marxism, and when confronted with that fact, they will almost always back-track and say “oh, well maybe the government shouldn’t be doing THAT much…”
A huge portion of the population in this country ARE unwittingly Marxist, they love hearing how “the government” is going to “give” them everything they need, and the CBC are in the forefront in propagating this doctrine to the great unwashed. Marxism is nothing more than neo-feudalism, feudalism is no different from slavery, thus the CBC are proponents of slavery. For all of their idiotic “reparation” rhetoric, their aims are to enslave people, rather than make them freer.
