Fifty Four Years Of Embargo Did Not Topple Cuban Revolution : Why Would Another Fifty Four.…

Today the American Flag went up in Havana Cuba for the first time after in came down under tense cir­cum­stances in 1961. At the time Cuban President Fidel Castro called the American Embassy a nest of spies. In the ensu­ing 54 years much has hap­pened includ­ing the failed inva­sion of the island by dis­si­dents which became known as the Bay of Pigs.

In the mean­time America has nor­mal­ized rela­tions with Russia and oth­er satel­lites of the old Soviet Empire. Relations between the United States and China has also nor­mal­ized result­ing in mas­sive bilat­er­al coöper­a­tion between the two pow­ers. Even Vietnam now enjoys nor­mal rela­tions with the United States.
President Obama fol­low­ing up on his promise to be a trans­for­ma­tion­al President made good by open­ing dia­logue with the Cuban Government .
The Cuban Embargo has been in effect through­out the Cold war. The Cold war end­ed in the 80’s under the Republican dar­ling Ronald Reagan, dur­ing that time America engaged in wars in far-flung and diverse places as Grenada, Afghanistan as well as Iraq and deal­ing with con­flicts involv­ing Isis and Al Queda. The Cuban Government has with­stood the Embargo despite Cuban President Fidel Castro’s ill-health and broth­er Raul assum­ing active lead­er­ship of the Government.

Despite the Embargo the Cuban Revolution has flour­ished in med­i­cine and edu­ca­tion, in build­ing con­struc­tion and research. Clearly this Revolution is going nowhere. As such the American President Barack Hussien Obama cor­rect­ly decid­ed to nor­mal­ize rela­tions with the Cuban Government instead of wait­ing for a new breed of young com­mu­nists to pick up the man­tle. If the Embargo did not top­ple the Cuban rev­o­lu­tion in 54 years why would any­one think it will in anoth­er 54.
Stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expect­ing a dif­fer­ent result.
That is the rea­son I whole­heart­ed­ly sup­port the Secretary of State John Kerry for going ahead with the for­mal­i­ties with­out invit­ing cer­tain mem­bers of the Cuban dis­si­dent community.

It is exact­ly the cor­rect move in light of their intran­si­gent and almost mono­lith­ic and idi­ot­ic views on how to pro­ceed on this issue. Most of those dis­si­dents are loy­al to the Republican Party and are stu­pid­ly crit­i­cal of any­thing but the regres­sive­ly back­ward pol­i­cy of puffery and iso­la­tion rather than a pol­i­cy of engage­ment and coöper­a­tion. That is why peo­ple like Cuban American Senator Marco Rubio should be ignored for his idi­ot­ic dem­a­goguery when he stat­ed ‚According to excerpts of his speech released in advance will say that he believes Obama’s push for a nuclear deal with Iran and his out­reach to the Cuban gov­ern­ment in Havana “rep­re­sent the con­ver­gence of near­ly every flawed strate­gic, moral, and eco­nom­ic notion” of his for­eign pol­i­cy. He will say the two deals demon­strate that the admin­is­tra­tion “has placed pol­i­tics before pol­i­cy, adver­saries before allies, and lega­cy before lead­er­ship.” Rubio is to say that as pres­i­dent, he’d tell the rul­ing Castro broth­ers that the diplo­mat­ic over­tures would be erased unless they car­ry out “mean­ing­ful polit­i­cal and human rights reforms.” And he will say he’d restore Cuba to the state spon­sor of ter­ror list and pro­vide sup­port to Cuba’s pro-democ­ra­cy move​ment​.Read more here: Rubio to mark US flag rais­ing in Cuba by rip­ping Obama for­eign pol­i­cy Read more here: http://​www​.mcclatchy​dc​.com/​n​e​w​s​/​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​s​-​g​o​v​e​r​n​m​e​n​t​/​e​l​e​c​t​i​o​n​/​a​r​t​i​c​l​e​3​1​0​6​4​5​2​9​.​h​t​m​l​#​s​t​o​r​y​l​i​n​k​=​cpy.

This is not the first time we have heard this type of divi­sive rhetoric from this lit­tle tool of the Tea par­ty fringe. No one should take this upstart too seri­ous­ly. This guy whose moth­er and father came to America and worked so he could go to col­lege is now one of the most retard­ed obstruc­tion­ist on Immigration.
In his hur­ry to speak Rubio did not both­er to engage his brain before he shot off at the mouth claim­ing that the pres­i­dent had giv­en a birth­day pres­i­dent to Castro and reward­ed a coun­try which is a state spon­sor of terror.
That lie was so absurd yet the lit­tle son of immi­grants who hates immi­grants either did not know the Government of which he is a part and which he wants to head had removed that des­ig­na­tion from Cuba.
That des­ig­na­tion was a com­plete farce to begin with as Cuba only sup­port­ed groups like the ANC in it’s strug­gle against the racist apartheid Government which exist­ed there. Marco Rubio and his fam­i­ly climbed up the lad­der and this runt is doing every­thing in his pow­er to kick that lad­der away so it won’t be there for oth­er hard work­ing fam­i­lies. Rubio is a fraud and a char­la­tan of the worst kind.

It is now up to the do-noth­ing Republican con­gress to lift the Embargo which only it can do. Lifting of the Cuban Embargo means trade between the two nations based on mutu­al respect. It also means over 11 mil­lion peo­ple to whom to sell American Goods. This is a new day for Cuba and America if America can extri­cate itself from poten­tial lead­ers like the Cuban-American upstart Marco Rubio.
One more feath­er in the hat of a tru­ly great American President , Barack Obama.
