The Bell Does Not Toll for RCAB Alone

The decision to close the Review of Cuban-American Blogs on January 20 was not an arbitrary one, nor having once made it have I regretted it or sought some loophole that might enable me to circumvent it (though loopholes there are aplenty). Some have expressed to me the hope that I would not close it. Still others refuse to believe that I will close it, showing, yet again, how little they know me despite being convinced that they know me all too well. The Babalunians, however, have not been among the doubters, perhaps from a natural apprehension that questioning my decision might convince me to alter it; but that is just an unfounded fear, as would also be the conceit that their crossed fingers closed the deal.

Nothing that Babalú has done or is likely to do in the future played any part in my decision to close RCAB. Let me say for the record, if such a thing even needs to be said, that there has been no miraculous transformation at Babalú that would justify any claim on my part to success. It is essentially the same blog, at once anti-Fidel and anti-Cuban, that it was on the day that RCAB first challenged its presumption in claiming to speak for all Cuban exiles, much less Cubans on the island. I never seriously thought that Babalú could be reformed, not from within or without. Marc Másferrer's departure proved the futility of entertaining hopes about its self-regeneration; and, I suppose, the closing of RCAB confirms that the patient is beyond all human agency and must be given for lost. What has changed since last year is the perception which others have of Babalú's "Founding Editor" and principals . And I don't even take credit for that. This transformation they have accomplished themselves since I merely reported and analyzed the disrepute which they sowed and harvested, and pointed out, for the benefit of the connoisseur, what I considered the "elixir" of their vintage crops. As Martí said, "The wine of the plantain is bitter, but it is our wine." Well this is not our wine, however bitter.

From the onset, Babalú mortgaged Cuba's freedom to George Bush. Sadly, in this case, there's not going to be any bail out. One would have thought that after our collective experience with Castro (and a succession of U.S. presidents without a clue) the Babalunians would have been wary of entrusting Cuba's future to any one man. Bush, bold and reckless in everything he did, was uncommonly cautious in his approach to Cuba. His embrace of the "Wet Foot/Dry Foot" policy, which he upheld twice as long as Clinton did, and his indifference to the systematic dismantling of the trade embargo at the instigation of Republican congressmen (like the ascendant Flake), demonstrated that what Bush prized most was stability in Cuba, and if stability had to purchased at the cost of Cuban freedom, it was a bargain that he was more than willing to strike. In fact, when Obama decrees, as he shortly will, that the Castro regime can now buy on credit everything which Bush allowed it to buy with cash, the embargo will in effect be null and void, despite the congressional laws that codify it.

I hope the Babalunians will recognize then the indispensable role that Bush played in "normalizing" relations with Communist Cuba right under their crapulous noses. No American president was ever more beholden to Cuban-Americans for his political success than George W. Bush. He himself acknowledged it on numerous occasions, which makes it hard for us to deny it now. But to him our support was an entitlement, not an obligation. Ditto for Reagan and every other U.S. president who ever trifled with our love of country or led us to believe that he was our "great amigo." The bad intentions of our enemies have always been seconded by the bad offices of our "friends." That is the root of our national tragedy and Barack Obama's election is its fruit.

This much I will say about the president-elect: he lied to everybody, but he didn't lie to us. From the beginning he was crystal clear about his intentions towards Communist Cuba: unconditional capitulation on Castro's terms, not ours. Obama wants to build democracy in Cuba by solidifying the position of the anti-democrats. The U.S. has tried in the past to bolster the position of dissidents on the island: it has done very little and that very badly. Obama's approach dumps the dissidents in favor of those who really call the shots in Cuba. Surely he cannot be so naive as to believe that this is the royal road to Cuban freedom. Either he considers Cuban freedom unimportant or unsalvageable and is content to substitute the sufferance of the U.S. for it, or he regards Communist Cuba as an example rather than as an admonition.

The future of Babalú was also decided on November 4th, though Val & Co. haven't realize it yet with perhaps one exception. Not just because Obama will institutionalize Castroism and assure that its brand of feudalism will survive to the last Cuban generation. But also because Babalú will partake in the general decay of all blogs once the government sets out to regulate the blogosphere by extending the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" to it and criminalizing all anonymous blogging or commenting.

The bell is tolling and it does not toll just for us (though we seem to be the only ones listening).


POSTSCRIPT:

RCAB also learned today that our esteemed colleague Black Sheep of Exile will close due to the same reasons.

Manuel, the sky is indeed cloudy, but it is not falling, not only is it not falling, it will be clear at the end of the storm, all storms end, at least here in the USA, remember what I recently told you, this is not Cuba and it will not become like Cuba, change is a constant and many things must change or face extinction, even the apparently perennial darkness that has prevailed in Cuba for the past fifty years has seen rays of sunshine, brief and fleeting yes, but nonetheless the light has managed to make it through, don't give up now when the need for courage is great, remember always that part of our responsibility is to keep the flames alive no matter what.

Light up the darkness.

Yes, Latins tend to be a bit dramatic; it's part of our idiosyncracy to feel passionately rather than to judge everything dispassionately. This does not mean, however, that our feelings always betray us, nor that what is deemed logical will always prevail in a world without rhyme or reason.

I have no doubt you will close this blog for you are a gentleman and mean what you say, I am profoundly sorry to see you go, I will miss this blog and your posts dearly, I do hope you reconsider and open another where we can speak of Cuba and it's history because you are a master at it, it's a pleasure commenting here where everyone may have their say without censorship.

Absolutely true, they call those thinkers "progressives." And that is exactly why progressives run this nation, and the conservatives do not.

Wow, this must have been the conversations that the Cuban immigrants had right before they started fleeing in mass, during the 1959 revolution. Interesting, oh so interresting. That is the first thing the Cuban Chicano immigrant does when he is kicked out of power, he flees. And leaves the women behind, like Vana.

Poor things, i almost feel sorry for them, "almost." I feel sorry for them, that they couldnt imagine that America was so angry with conservatism. Just like Batista-lovers like Manuel, who could have cared less that his countrymen were suffering under Batista. Manuel, could have cared less that America suffered under Bush. And Manuel, would have gladly given the inept Bush another 8 years to run the nation. Until yes, and unfortunately America would have had our own revolution, which would have left Manuel scracthing his head the next morning wondering why half the nation was so upset.


Manuel, your beloved right-wing, religious one-rule strict conservatism only works in the middle-east. Go move there, if you want to live like that. Go on now, get now boy, so you can be happy. Go on, get!!

Rick said...

Hey, folks, let's not focus on me, let's keep the focus on Manny, where he wants it to be.

Which motivates me to add: your journey with RCAB, Manny, has brought you to a destination where you have finally recognized just how much you and the Babalunians are alike. Criticizing them has become more of a critique of your innermost self and doesn't feel the way it used to. I see it in your writing and the way you embrace the ideology and paranoia of George Moneo.

I, quite frankly, am surprised this revelation didn't come to you much earlier along in the journey. You lasted almost a full year longer than I thought you would, and for that I give you credit.

But in the end, the terminus is the same. They will never adopt you, Manny, like they have so many others, but for you and the Babalunians alike, it should be enough to know that you all share the same philosophy.

Welcome home, Manny. Now go get the needed rest that you have waited so long for.

Manuel,



Why have you so humbly conceded defeat to Rick? Basically, you have laid down on your back, with all fours stuck up in the air.
I never thought i would see the day when Rick could boldy strut into RCAB, get your ass told off, and then strut right back out.

It is like watching the WW2 footage of the Nazi battleship Bizmark being sunk. One could marvel at the Bizmark, but at the end of the day, the good forces in the world, knew it had to be sunk, because it was being used to support pure evil.

Similiarly, at times i marveled at RCAB, but i always suspected tht the captain of the ship was a closeted right-wing whacko, who quietly was a Bush supporter. As Obama's power started to grow. Manuel, dropped all pretense, and exposed RCAB for what was suspected all along. And that RCAB was neo-con shrill blog that proped up corrupt right wing whacko shrill blogs like Babulu.

Now Rick, and others, are making the last strafing runs at the smoldering ruins of RCAB. As RCAB, at the end of the day was nothing but a Bush-loving neo-con blog, that deserves its watery grave, without any commerative flowers thrown on top!!

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

Rick:

When you walk into the lion's den in a SPAM suit, expect to be followed around. I know that this is a new experience for you, as it is for the Babalunians when they visit here. RCAB's threads evolve in whatever direction the commenters want. I don't carry a whip or a blunderbuss. And, yes, some commenters do occasionally get out of line, but I prefer that to making everybody toe the line. That's why I think your decision to ban the Babalunians' from commenting on your blog is such a big mistake. It's not your responsibility whether they shine there or not if they provide you with an opportunity to shine yourself. Without the give and take, this feud of yours with Val & Company is soon going to fizzle out; for which I, at least, will be heartily sorry.

I can't help but wonder how things might have evolved between you if you had accepted Val's long ago invitation (subsequently withdrawn) to visit his "Man Camp." I know that you, too, must regret that missed opportunity for anthropological research.

As I recall, you predicted before SotP closed that RCAB was on its last legs. As it is, it will have lasted just as long as your own previous efforts.

I am not into pop psychology, but I will agree with you that parsing Babalú's words for nearly two years has allowed me to stake a more compassionate stand for hardliners, by asserting, as I have on hundreds of occasions, that it is not acceptable to confuse Castro with the Cuban people, which error has led to Val's calls for "rivers of blood" to flow Cuba and his invention of the "Human Pressure Cooker."

BTW, I did not "embrace the ideology and paranoia of George Moneo," as you are pleased to call it. I was predicting the Doomsday consequences of the election of Barack Obama when George and the other Babalunians were still thrashing John McCain as too "liberal."

And, yes, I could use a rest. Besides, I have already pick Babalú's bones clean. I leave all the rest to you.

Manuel A.Tellechea said...

BTW, Rick, your comments made me realize that I am the "Father of Compassionate Hard-lin[e]ism." Thanks for the insight.

Dear Manuel;

I will surly miss you. I read the blog because of your superb writing; but must admit that I don't read most of the comments since I find them extremely juvenile and brutish. While I understand and commend you for your open policy, I do find it a waste of time to read anything that fantomas, longfellow, and a few others have to say.

I hope that, someday, you open a blog to speak of Cuban history and current events with serious commentary and not all the clowns that find a place on this blog.

I don't presume to tell you what to do; I'm merely expressing my wishes.

I wish you well and know that you will be successful in whatever you choose to pursue.

Godspeed my friend.

Sharpshooter said...

Manuel,
I read with sadness your post regarding the final days of RCAB.
I also saw the news about Black Sheep of Exile closing down too. I knew they had closed their comments section recently but I was not aware they were closing and folding too.
This is very bas news indeed. Now more than ever we need to hear different and clear voices that are a counterpoint to the orgy of praise and obeisance we see everywhere else from all quarters. Every dissenting voice that lies still and closes is a nail in the coffin of our freedom of speech. Please try to have your voice be heard somehow from among the cacophony of Obama like clones and sycophants. I cannot believe that you are giving up the fight, just folding the tent and be a quiet spectator from the sidelines while the goths run amok. Try to reconsider and let your voice be heard. Don't give up the fight so fast. You will be sorely missed.

Fantomas said...

Barack Obama sedujo al electorado judío estadounidense -de todas formas votante tradicional del Partido Demócrata- pese a la polémica por sus raíces musulmanas, debido a que tuvo gestos contundentes con los que se ganó su confianza, opinaron expertos.

Los sondeos a boca de urna indican que 78% de los judíos que votaron prefirieron a Obama por sobre su rival, el republicano John McCain.

Comparado con candidatos demócratas anteriores, el porcentaje es más importante que el obtenido por John Kerry (74% en 2004) y similar al de Al Gore (79% en 2000) y Bill Clinton (79% en 1996 y 1992).

La comunidad judía estadounidense, de 5,3 millones de habitantes (1,7% de la población total de EEUU), es la segunda del mundo, por detrás de Israel“Los judíos parecían aumentar su voto republicano estos últimos años, pero Obama revirtió la tendencia”, opina Jacques Berlinerblau, profesor de civilización judía de la universidad Georgetown de Washington.

Lo llamativo es que las intenciones de voto por Obama entre la comunidad judía no superaban el 60% a principios de julio, agrega.

De hecho, durante las primaria demócrata (finalizada con la nominación de Obama en la convención de septiembre pasado), la mayoría de los judíos votaron por su rival Hillary Clinton.

A fines de julio, Obama hizo un viaje muy logrado a Israel, donde le prometió un apoyo “indefectible”. Además, el mes anterior ya se había pronunciado a favor de reconocer a Jerusalén como capital de Israel, al presentarse ante el American Israel Public Affairs Council (AIPAC), principal lobby pro-israelí en Estados Unidos.

En cambio, la decisión de nombrar a la ultra-conservadora Sarah Palin como compañera de fórmula de McCain a fines de agosto alejó a parte del electorado judío de los republicanos. “Sus inclinaciones populistas se asociaron a una tradición antisemita”, según Berlinerblau.

La comunidad judía estadounidense, de 5,3 millones de habitantes (1,7% de la población total de EEUU), es la segunda del mundo, por detrás de Israel. Políticamente muy activa, tradicionalmente vota a los demócratas.

Durante la campaña electoral, corrió el rumor de que Barack Obama -cuyo segundo nombre es Hussein- practicaba secretamente el islam.

De hecho, Obama es cristiano, pero parte de la familia keniana de su padre, a quien prácticamente no conoció, es musulmana.

“Su segundo nombre no tuvo ninguna influencia en el voto de los judíos”, opinó el demógrafo Ira Sheskin, de la universidad judía de Miami.

“Una parte importante de la comunidad judía estadounidense temía a Obama y se inquietaba por cuál sería su posición ante Israel e Irán, pero la magia de este hombre logró revertir las cosas”, agregó.

Obama declaró durante su campaña que estaba abierto a dialogar con países a los que el actual gobierno de George W. Bush considera enemigos, como Irán.

El entusiasmo por Barack Obama se explica también por la historia común de las comunidades negra y judía, según Sheskin. “Los judíos siempre estuvieron del lado de los negros, porque ellos también -y durante mucho tiempo- sufrieron discriminación”.

El nombramiento de Rahm Emanuel -que posee nacionalidad estadounidense e israelí- como secretario general de la Casa Blanca fue bien recibido por la comunidad judíaEsta afinidad se ha visto sin embargo afectada estas últimas décadas por las opiniones antisemitas de algunos líderes negros, como Jesse Jackson durante su campaña a la presidencia por el Partido Demócrata en 1984 o Louis Farrakhan, jefe del movimiento “Nation of Islam”.

Obama podría ser “el puente que restablezca los nexos entre ambas comunidades”, según Berlinerblau.

El nombramiento de Rahm Emanuel -que posee nacionalidad estadounidense e israelí- como secretario general de la Casa Blanca fue bien recibido por la comunidad judía. “Eso muestra que Obama no está contra Israel”, dijo Berlinerblau.

If I thought there were anything that I could do to stop Obama from flinging himself at Castro, I would at least try. But no one can stop him except Fidel himself. Jerry Ford was within days of lifting the embargo and recognizing the Castro regime when Communist Cuba unexpectedly invaded Angola. Nothing less than that -- and possibly not even that -- would deter Obama from surrendering unconditionally to Castro.

I am thinking of hosting a debate between the two of you.

I can think of nothing better to crown the end of Western civilization.

If you both agree to a crash of your worldviews, let me know and I will referee the encounter.

Before the fight (I mean, debate), I will post a poll to see who is the crowd favorite and set the odds accordingly.

Betting will be allowed.

Enrique, pack up the suit and call your handler at the Cuban Embassy to the UN, you've been made, Manuel te partió el trasero, he didn't even have to touch you, the long hand of Tellechea's law reached all the way to your hideout in Puerto Rico, for all we know you may also be the CJB, besides from all the other personalities that are obviously you.

How much are you being paid by the Casstro clan to destroy the opposition? Are you being paid by the US taxpayers also when you collect your disability check and food stamps? By the way, there's nothing wrong in my opinion with people who need to receive disability payments and food stamps, but I don't believe that you've fallen through the cracks of society's safety nets, you had the Casstro boys make the cracks for you so you can fulfill the missions that they have assigned to you while in the USA. When are you going to be recalled? There's no point in continuing on, remember, YOU HAVE BEEN MADE....AGAIN

Advise to Cuban Americans:


Bush's betrayal has been absolute. There can be no doubt that Reagan is rolling in his grave at how Bush allowed the opportunity to rid this hemisphere of communism slip through his hands.

Now you have another republican president to choose in 2012. My advise is to choose carefully. Just because Pailin is a conservative, it doesn mean she loves Cuban immigrants. On the contrary, her conservatism ought to give you pause. Because many conservatives, are in fact conservatives because they dont like immigrants, including Cuban immigrants.

Nevertheless, good luck my friends, as Bush as indeed ushered in some of the darkest days in the Cuban-American history.

You Cuban immigrants hurl around the word commie so much, that you have forever destroyed its meaning. Even worse, the speaker creates a backlash against him, i.e., the election of Obama who was called a commie thousands of time. How did that work out for you on Nov 4?

Just like the archaic cold-war insult, commie. The Cuban immigrant speaker who hurls thid empty language are equally bankrupt and devoid of both words and ideas. Hence, the creation of the leftist super-majorities in the house and senate.

Again Cuban exiles, you need to think carefully about the future of your Cuban-American community, and which conservative President will become your spokesman/spokeswoman for the freedom of Cuba.

If you are so reckless as to choose the "unsinkable" Sarah Pailin as the spokeswoman for the Cuban-American community, then you deserve everything you get.


Nevertheless, choose wisely my friends. As another loss to battle-hardened Obama leftists in 2010/2012, will be a loss that the Cuban-American community will never recover from.


Thanks Bush!!!

Anonymous said...

I would like to point out, taking a cue from a Cuban (how should I put it?) colleague of mine, Cubans aren't immigrants. They're refugees. Refugees are political, not econimc. Immigrants are economic based. One member of my family is an example of the latter. Furthermore, I wouldn't reckon to say all conservatives exhibit such nativist sentiment as John/Cenutrion/Fantomas proposed. Reagan was one such example, a man that saw fit to help those fighting Commies by giving them all available means to do so. Bush got sidetracked by 9/11 and probably never cared, as evidence of keeping wet-foot dry-foot in place.

Sir, you cant compare the 80's, where the immigrants werent the largest minority in the nation, like they are now. In the 80's, there werent tens of thousands of immigrants marches through major streets of America. In the 80's, the immigrants didnt have enough people to remake the electoral college make in the favor of a leftist President, as they have done with President Obama. In the 80's entire television, radio-shows, and poltical careers, like Trancredo werent built on Spanish immigrant bashing.

If you dont think for a minute, that Gringrich will not make the Spanish immigrant the focale point of the 2012 election, then you are being purposely ignorant.

Excuse me sir, but Castro remains one of the bloodiest terrorist who has committed many more terrorist acts against America then al queda. Castro above all should have been included in the axis of evil for the terrorist acts that he has committed against our citizens, including Cuban-Americans.

You sir, are everything wrong with the Cuban-American movement. You sir, are a Bush apologist, and a xenophobic apologist. Nothing more, nothing less. So go back to apologizing for people who deserve none!!

Angel Garzón said...

El Cuco, you've got it right, it must be the coca paste mixed with the caffeine and methamphetamine as a cherry on top, Hitler used to have a drug cocktail injected by his personal doctor every morning, meth was one of the stimulants in the cocktail, it was also used on the German soldiers and the Waffen SS troops, especially during the early years of WWII, I guess the Casstro people use it also.

Matt, you're right, that's how we look at our status, if you're old enough to have watched the PBS series "¿Qué Pasa USA? when it was originally broadcast back in the 1970s, you may remember that a frequently played musical score included in its lyrics the line "...lo que era exilio se convierte en imigración...," technically speaking it's considered immigration, but we prefer to look at it from a detailed observer's point of view rather than a broad-brush, generalized one. Unfortunately for us Cubans, Reagan chose to use the soft power approach to dealing with Cuba as endorsed by the Council on Foreign Affairs, but before Reagan decided to follow that course he tried to negotiate with Casstro secretly and was turned down by Havana.

John aka Fantomas, I vividly remember the late 1970s and early 1980s and how the supposedly Gringo "friends" of our anti-communist cause were calling radio programs, writing to newspapers' OpEds, appearing on TV and calling the White House and their Congressmen to convince everyone to stop the "invasion of lazy Hispanics from Cuba," even at the company where I worked at the time one son of Polish immigrants stated that he would move out of his town if a Cuban coworker of ours was able to bring any of his relatives to live with him because he lived in the same town as the Cuban coworker did, it took me and a Filipino who was married to a Cuban girl to defend the other Cuban and his desire to bring his family to freedom, when confronted with the truth about our community the Polack had to back off, I remember the angry redneck demonstrators holding placards filled with derogatory statements against the refugees and the family members that had traveled to the holding camps where the Mariel Boat lift refugees where being held, I remember one specific Cuban from Miami that was interviewed by a Miami based Spanish language TV station reporter and when asked about how he felt concerning the hateful demonstrators he replied in Spanish that all he wanted to do was to pick up his relatives and leave that town (where the camp was located) to NEVER AGAIN (emphasis his) return to that town and State. I remember the anger of the xenophobes back in the mid-eighties when Reagan proposed a general amnesty for illegal immigrants which was eventually passed by Congress and which Reagan signed into law. So what the hell are you talking about? You may believe that rewriting and revising history is something that you can get away with, well guess what, fat chance pal, not while people like me are alive to tell the truth and recount the real history that we've experienced, so go somewhere else with your Clintonian style of historical revisionism, it won't work here.

Hey dude, i know all to well, that nearly all of America considers Cuban immigrants, as "mere" immigrants. We dont ascribe a special immigrant status, upon Cuban immigrants as they place upon themselves. If asked, "most Americans would say send the Cubans back to Cuba." This is particurly true of conservatives within the Republican party.

Angel Garzón said...

John aka Fantomas, the GOP has many different wings within it just like the Democratic Party does, there are xenophobes the like of Pat Buchanan who believe that most if not all "ethnic" USA citizens should be returned to wherever they came from and that belief includes descendants of immigrants by a number of generations, these folks are known as "Nativists" and they are just as xenophobic as their Democratic counterparts who are commonly labeled as "White Blue Collar" or "Working Middle-Class," these are the folks that presented our community with the most bitter opposition to us escaping to this country, they call themselves "staunch anti-communists" and "Loyal anti-socialists Americans" they believe themselves to be "True Blue and as American as apple pie" most of them are basically laborers or working class, many of them either dropped out of High School or barely finished it and they are mostly registered members of the Democratic Party, they are the so-called "Reagan Democrats," folks who share some of the Republican principles of a strong defense, secured borders and hard work ethics, when you blabber about trying to place the blame of xenophobia exclusively on Republicans you are being dishonest, xenophobia knows no party line, I am a registered independent who usually votes for the candidate instead of the party line, but of course those who prefer to stick to being dishonest as you do, never bother to discern the details because those details don't suit your purposes, so take a hike with your ridiculously childish and simplistic idiocy, it won't work here.

tumba asked: So, why do most Cubans- including Angel- support the republican party ?


Good question! There is a 3-part anaylsis to answer that question. First, it important to note, that most Cubans are in fact liberal in their hearts. Honestly, from what i saw "overall" only fun-loving, open-minded, free-spirits could build a liberal oasis like Southbeach in Miami. And have no doubt, Southbeach is one of the most liberal places in the entire world. You will never find such a free-wheeling place built by "hard-core" conservatives like those that live in Utah, or Alabama.

Historically, Cuban-Americans "used" to actually vote their liberal spirits, until the Bay of Pigs. Then the republicans came along and offered them money, support, training, if they would pledge alligience to the republican party. Keeping in mind, that they would also act as a buffer to a communist invasion from the Atlantic ocean.
Note, there are a handful of Cuban-Americans that actually earn a living from the republican party to keep the Cuban-American in the party. Politicians, radio show hosts, and yes, even bloggers.


Then the Berlin wall came down, and the communist invasion never came. But yet, the Cuban-American republicans were still useful. As the nation became politically divided, and Florida became a swing state. The Cuban-Americans would pay the republican party back by single-handedly electing them a two-term American President. Never before in American history had a "group" of people done such an historic act.

During this time of course, the nation became increasingly divided. The conservatives needed to streghten their base. They do this by scaring the nation. The boogeyman could not be the black-american anymore. As they have become severely weakened by the sheer numbers of the Spanish immigrant. Moreover, the Spanish immigrant was transforming entire cities, something that black america never did, with a few notably exceptons like Atlanta.

And here we are today. The republican party nightmare is coming true. A total transformation of their nation as they once knew it, at the hands of Spanish-speakers. Not only by pushing the conservatives further away from the new Spanish-speaking cities. But out of entire states, like California, New Mexico, large parts of Florida, and new even Texas. Worse, the Spanish-speaking immigrant in the West are the power players, not the southern states.

But even with the conservative boogeyman, being the Spanish-speaker. The Cuban-American must continue to be subservant to their xenopohobic conservative masters. Because: 1) many long for acceptance from the xenophobics, as they remain ashamed that they are immigrants 2) fear that the "few" Cubans that make money from the rnc, will call them commies, if they dont toe the republican line 3) they want to be on the powerful side in the nation, which "used" to be republican

This is what makes this election so devastating to the Cuban-American community. As Henry Gomez, likes to brag, President Obama won Florida "without" the Cubans. Thereby, making the Cuban-Americans and their desires, disposable to "both" parties. And at the end of the day, the Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans have politically positioned themselves to have a seat at the table for a generation. Cuban-Americans as Henry Gomez states, "had no part in making the world's most well-liked American President in history."

The Cuban-American has lost again, as their spirits remain torn and lost. Too bad for them!!

tumba said: But, hey, you can continue

Actually, California doesnt kiss xenophobic conservative asses, just as Pete Wilson. The xenopohobic conservatives lost California for a generation when they tried their Trancredo stuff there. Except, the California conservatives forgot something there. The Mexicans there are not self-loathing. I know, i almost got my butt kicked by one for making a remark. You can make fun of a Cuban for being an immigrant. But you will defiantely get an ass-whipping by a Mexican.

"Angel, I disagree with you. I think Democrats are way .... way more tolerant than Republicans..."

Tumba cuatro, people are people and as I said, xenophobia doesn't recognize Party lines, perhaps your personal experiences are guiding your opinion, I can respect that, but keep in mind that using that as a basis I can say what I've said, I don't think that you are someone that has been involved with politics as I have, my personal experience in NJ where I've lived ever since I came to the USA in 1974 has been that the upper echelons people who run the Democratic Party here are mostly tolerant because they need the minority votes, having said that, I can also tell you that the majority of them will not live in any of the cities and towns that have a minority population that exceeds 35%, the 33% mark is what's considered the cutoff point, once that threshold is reached the "For Sale" signs begin to pop up exponentially, my father-in-law owned a gorgeous house in a suburb of Newark called East Orange for about fifteen years, by 1976 what had been an "All America City" trophy winner in 1962, had become about 36% African-American, by 1982, just six years after 1976 the city had become 86% black, that is one example, another is the town of Harrison which by 1974 was 95% Anglo-American, by 1982 it had become 75% "Hispanic" many of whom were Cuban, both municipalities are examples of what always takes place in NJ when "minorities" move to predominantly working class white Democratic municipalities, I've seen it happen over and over, municipality after municipality, all of them Democratic majority, the messgae is vote for us but stay the hell away from us, you don't belong here, stay in the "inner-city."

Contrast what I have stated above with the predominantly Republican municipalities in NJ and the "white flight" is barely negligible, I cannot account for what has happened outside of the NJ-NY-CT-PA areas, but those four States I know very well and with luxury of details, the difference is humongous and the truth is overwhelmingly indicative of Republicans in these States being more tolerant.
