Ref. Proof That Obama Was wrong About Cuba - by Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation  - http://dailysignal.com/2015/12/21/proof-that-obama-was-wrong-about-cuba

 

    These stirring words came in President Barack Obama's first inaugural address. "To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist." It has taken seven years to make clear they were utterly meaningless.

 

    The right side of history is whatever side the president is on, and America's enemies don't need to stop punching dissidents with clenched fists to get a hug. Exhibit A to prove this, again, the little state of Cuba  90 miles from U.S. shores.

 

    Antonio Rodiles, who is the leader of the Cuban democratic movement, was re-arrested for "disorderly conduct" on Sunday for speaking his mind in the open. Rodiles was just here last week in Washington, D.C. (he was interviewed by The Daily Signal), and had high-profile meetings with members of Congress and at the State Department.

    Meanwhile, the country's dictator, Raul Castro, donned this military uniform for an unannounced TV appearance last Friday to denounce the United States & make more demands. Yes, demands. 

Rodiles, and other pro-democracy activists, have said all along that Obama's decision to grant the Castro regime recognition a year ago would prove to be a costly mistake for CUBANS.

 

    By extracting no conditions in exchange for relations, Obama has allowed Castro to act with impunity with his opponents. Cuban security personnel detain a member of the Ladies in White group after their weekly anti-government protest march, in Havana Sept. 13, 2015.

 

    ... Rodiles can physically attest, that he was beaten up during an arrest back in July.  According to dissidents, political detentions are  at a documented total of 7,686 thru the first 11 months of this year, set to break the worst year on record: 2014, with 8,899 arrests.

    It's a message Rodiles took to Congress last week in meetings with Reps. Alex Mooney, R. W.Va; Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R- Fla; Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla; and Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla. (All of Cuban origin) ... The meetings earned Rodiles more wrath from Castro regime. Back in Havana on Sunday, he attempted to march with a dissident group of about 60 after Mass, when he and others were rounded up and put into prison....

           

 DOES TRUTH AND COMMON SENSE MATTER?

       I have always viewed Fidel Castro as a true communist and a modern terrorist with a suit on, and never a New York Times George Washington type.  Castro has proven to be a political cancer to Mexico, Central America and South America. During the Cuban crisis with President Kennedy, Castro was prepared for the Cuban people to be destroyed for the sake of Soviet Communism.

   Over the years, we could get rid of this Hitlerite via the Monroe Doctrine but the leftist mindset was unwilling to do it. Some believed that communism is what the Cuban people wanted and then most of these Cuban immigrants vote Republican. Today, Putin and Castro are of one mind.

    In America, there is a yearning for truth and common sense in the political arena. Political correctness is unnatural, devious and promotes a secular news media agenda. And the news media is two faced, double standard and dishonest when reporting on conservative issues and candidates. As I have stated before, today's news media is to leftism and  progressivism in America what Pravda was to communism in Communist Russia. Hillary want us to change our religion on marriage.However, there is hope for America. In a brokered Republican Presidential Convention, Ben Carson is the unity candidate for the Republican party and the nation. May truth and common sense be restored and win. I am fed up with corruption and lies.
