Cubans? What Cubans?
May 1st, 2008If They Existed, Surely we Would See at Least One on CSI Miami
Via Lucianne, Humberto Fontova patiently explains (for the thousandth time) that Fidel Castro is evil, and that it isn’t cute when ignorant and/or unprincipled American leftists visit him to celebrate his imaginary wisdom and humanity.
My advice? Save your breath, Humberto. This message just will not grow roots. Castro is the Third World Bill Clinton. A showpiece leftists are determined to bring out and exhibit to prove socialism works, regardless of the poverty and misery he brought to his people. When Clinton was committing perjury and losing the codes to our nuclear armament and selling the Oval Office to the communist Chinese, liberals closed their ears and insisted he was a fine man and a kind of martyr. It’s the same way with Castro. Torture as policy, the revokation of the most basic civil rights, corruption, thousands of executions without trial…if these things didn’t hurt Castro’s reputation over the last fifty years, you can’t hurt it, either.
I don’t really mean that. I may be right to say resistance is futile, but I may be wrong, and in any case, people like Humberto should continue to speak the truth. One thing he needs to write more about is the fundamental question driving the piece to which I linked: how did Cubans become the invisible minority? Was it their financial prosperity, which discredits the notion that all minorities need racist handouts and favors in order to do as well as ordinary white Americans? Was it their overwhelming rejection of liberalism? Part of it, probably, is due to the failure of Cubans to express their frustrations to the wider community, in English. Anyway, it’s a very bizarre and unfortunate phenomenon.
Here is Ysabella Brave, expressing what leftists feel when they say goodbye to the Caribbean’s Hitler. Close your eyes, and you would swear you were listening to Danny Glover.
I guess regular readers are wondering why I started writing about politics again. I’m not sure, myself. I know the conservative media will never have any use for my work. Their zero-sum attitude is probably getting worse now that conservatism is becoming unfashionable again.
I suppose I just got tired and decided to write what I thought was right and let God worry about whether anyone came to read it.
Let’s check some blogroll links.
Virgil has moved to Tennessee. And he is making homemade pizza, which suggests that his recent illness is behind him.
I haven’t checked Whacking Day in a long time. Funny picture up.
In case George Moneo is reading, let me point out that Andrea Harris just carted a bunch of her LPs to the dumpster. Steady, George.
Russ Emerson is doing better, and he felt well enough to come up with a Bible passage explaining the bizarre claim that God ordered us to be greenies.
Steve Gigl’s neighborhood is being terrorized by a trigger-happy granny with a BB gun. Andrea Harris will have to think about this in about 30 years.
