Democrat congresspeople say Castro's cool

I once knew a girl who was smuggled in a suitcase to the states as a baby. If Cuba was so great, I doubt her mother would have handed her so easy to the person who brought her over.

I've heard many people from Cuba who fled here say that we're on the same path and they are frightened. I wish people would listen to them! Russian-Americans are saying the same thing. Why don't people vote out these idiots?

IF Cuba is so great how many people are risking thier life to get into the country? You measure the Greatness of a country by the number of people trying to get in. I will donate to a fund to relocat those congressmen and women who want to leave the US and take up ubian citizenship.

"One congresswoman even went so far as to say Cubans have it better than some of the poorest people over here! " Yes, because every poor person would love to spend 2/3 of their income on rationed food alone. Where exactly did you get this tidbit of news?

Do you know why our government became so hard against Castro when he first took charge of Cuba? I can tell you exactly. When Castro came into power there were a large number of huge sugar plantations in Cuba. These plantations were mostly owned by rich Americans. They were working the poor Cubans for next to nothing and making them rent shacks to live in on the plantation. They charged them rent on the shack that came out of their pay. A lot of them also had their own stores on the plantations and forced their workers to buy at their stores. A lot of them paif the workers in scrip that was only good at their stores. When Castro took over the first thing he did was throw all the rich Americans out of Cuba and split up their plantations and gave them to the poor working people. The working people took small places and went right on producing the sugar crops. Castro gave them enough land they could make a good living on it. This is why our government has tried everything in their power to starve Cubans. Did you know that a child education all the way from K through a PhD is paid for by the Cuban government? I was in the Army with a young man that his Father owned one of these big Plantations and he told me all about it. Him and his family were forced to leave Cuba and leave everything they owned there. Of course he saw it as a raw deal but I saw it as justice. Art

Kinda makes ya wanna throw up don't it!!!

Beware of Hollywood too! There are many stars speaking out in favor or Castro! Sean Penn is a big example! Makes you wonder about what we have been teaching our kids in school. I think the last generation really dropped the ball in educating our children about what our Freedom is really all about!!
