At times I feel like it's just me against the world...

    Socialism was brought to Cuba little by little. Many times Castro denied he was a socialist. Once in power he came out of the Marx closet nationalizing banks, punishing the rich and sending the opposition to exile or prison.
    Castro had the same charisma as Obama…the same demagogue 50 years later.

    Thanks for the heads up! CJ, I was listening to a left leaning radio show on Saturday here in MI, and the host (Peter Wurvey) actually stated that in communist Cuba you can go to college for “free” He was questioning why we have fought this for so long, and unfortunately he was completely serious. The more disturbing element is that many callers were in agreement and serious. My husband and I could not get over the fact he actually said the word “communism” and it did not hit a cord. I am really not sure what to think anymore.

  • Carmelo Junior

    Sheryl,

    Yes! In Cuba college education is basically “free”, there is “free” health insurance…BUT college graduates are having problems buying their bicycles or going to one place to another in their 60s model chevys full of people!

    Socialists around the world attack American capitalism. They see billlionaires like Bill Gates and Oprah and poor homeless people but they don’t talk about what these people(billionaires) fought all their lives to get where they are now. While capitalism does not obligates people to fight for themselves and get out of poverty and missery, socialism never has proven to eliminate the social gap. Castro, Yon Il and Chavez are still eating lobster and drinking champagne while the proletariat is drinking toilet water.

    Socialism can only happen if we sit back and let it. There are many good organizations that are forming to fight Obama. We must contact our representatives in congress and let them know that we will vote against them in 2010 if they continue to follow the path BO is taking us. There are tea parties and protest marches taking place or being planned. We must also contact tv staions and newspapers and let them know that we do not support BO and we will not support news medias that have been responsible for BO being elected.

    FIGHT BACK

    PUMP Pundit – here we go again….now he is negotiating with the Marxist President in Russia to start doign away with our defense system. The USA will keep their promise and the Russians probably won’t.

    You just can’t fix stupid!

    President Barack Obama has written to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggesting U.S. plans for a missile defense system in Eastern Europe might be unnecessary if Moscow helped in blocking Iran’s progress toward building long-range missiles, senior administration officials said on Tuesday.

    Plans for deploying U.S. missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic, ostensibly to guard against Iranian attacks on U.S. allies in Europe, are among a host of issues that soured U.S.-Russia relations during the former Bush administration. There have been indications Obama, who has vowed to shake up American foreign policy, might be willing to set aside the missile defense system.

    Medvedev said he had talked with Obama over the phone and exchanged letters with him, but added that there was “no talk about some kind of trade-off, or quid pro quo.”

    “No, issues haven’t been put that way, it would be unproductive,” he said at a news conference Tuesday, which followed talks in Madrid with Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

    Medvedev reaffirmed a strong opposition to the previous U.S. administration’s plan to deploy a battery of missile interceptors in Poland and a related radar in the Czech Republic, saying the move would hurt security in Europe.

    Medvedev said that Russia was encouraged by Obama’s administration’s readiness to discuss Moscow’s complaints.

    “Our American partners are ready to discuss this problem, and that’s already positive,” he said at a news conference. “Several months ago we were hearing different signals: The decision has been made, there is nothing to discuss, we will do what we have decided to do.”

    “Now I hope the situation is different,” Medvedev added. “But no one is linking these issues to some kind of trade-offs, particularly on the Iranian issue. We are already working in close contact with our U.S. counterparts on the Iranian nuclear issue.”

    A senior U.S. official had told The AP earlier that the suggestion in Obama’s letter to Medvedev was that the need for a missile defense deployment “could become unnecessary if, working together with Russia, the Iran missile threat is addressed.”

    Obama and Medvedev are expected to meet at the G-20 economic summit of advanced and developing nations in London next month, according to the officials.

    Apologies PUMA Pundit – no offense in how I addressed you in the last statement….gosh darn sticky fingers when typing.

    Again, my apologies.

  • Carmelo Junior

    Sparky,

    Neither Putin nor Mendevev are communists. The communist party is banned there. These leaders are pro capitalist dictatorship ala Augusto Pinochet. Even China had to experiment with some capitalist ideas so its economy would’ve sank. Seems like Che Obama does not known anything about this. What do you expect of a community organizer whose only achievement has been graduating for Ivy League schools!

  • Carmelo Junior

    Okay, what Obama wants is to appease the Russians. His weak administration want to let go something to obtain something else. Reagan never said “I will disarm my country if you tear down this wall” . He said “Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!” Gorbachev almost pee his pants!! LOL . President Reagan did not come out weak like Obama is doing. Obama promised Putin he won’t add Ukraine to the NATO and will withdraw any strategic missile from Poland if Putin-Mendevev promise to take their missiles from the Poland border and stop helping Iran with their nuclear program. The Russians are going to laugh on this community organizer’s face. This Harvard graduate seems he doesn’t knows anything about international relations or military history.

    Get ready because by 2011 these crazy Russians are going to help Iran build their first atomic bomb. Netanyahu is going to attack Iran! Get ready for the upcoming mess that is unfolding right now. Watch the DOW JONES!

    Sarah Palin help us! LOL

    It’s amazing CJ – Comrad Barry will destroy the United States with his brilliant picks in cabinet members and his single-minded goals.

    Who cares what is best for America – hell he hasn’t even proven he is a true American yet – where is his official birth certificate – you know the one with the proper seals.

    69 millions placed the future of the most powerful nation on earth in the hands of a 47 years old guy with Zero military experience, zero command experience, zero executive experience, zero business enterpreneural experience, zero real life experience. All the experience this guy has is books, school, teaching,organizing homeless people, dealing with racists, subversives, tax cheats, thugs and convicted felons and dreaming to become the second coming of Abraham Lincoln.

    From those 69 millions I predict some 10 millions are going to wake up in 2012 and send this fraud back to Chicago. Mark my words: This will be a One Term Presidency!

  • Carmelo Junior

    This is what probably happen in the next 3 years:

    The long range missile capability of Iran, along with high technology weaponry will be increased with the help of Russia. Iran also will have a state of the art nuclear system for “peaceful” purposes, also with the help of Russia.

    Russia would probably play with Obama about Ukraine. These people are going to black mail this weak and inept president of ours. The situation in Iraq, now kind of stable, will explode again as soon as the last US combat brigade is withdrawn by 2011. The Sunnis rebels are just waiting for this event to happen. Al Sadar will rally his troops again and our inept president will have no other choice than send our troops back over there! In the meanwhile our friends of the Taliban will be havocking in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

    By this time Netanyahu might have already sent some F-16s to Iran while our inept president will have his weak hands tied dealing with the sinking economy at home and the international mess that his community organizational skills will not be able to handle.

    In our back yard Chavez will officially form a fascist socialist dictatorship in Venezuela and will be the best partner Iran will have in the conflict with Israel.

    By the end of 2011 Hillary Clinton might have already resigned and Susan Rice would have replaced her. This is when Hillary will challenge the inept president for the Demagogic Party nomination. A party divided will set the stage for the rise of the female Reagan:)
