maybe you should move to Cuba then
Cuba deserves little praise.. they’re basically living in the 1950’s and being cut off from the United States is no excuse for the opression they live under.
Are you kidding me? Really? She was elected in a public election? She’s not terribly bright…
Spoken like a true communist.
CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRESENTATION OF LIBERALISM AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
Wait, wait, wait…
She thinks they “went around Cuba looking for a leader for the new country”?!?!?!?!?!?
Castro ran a guerrilla army out of the jungles near Havana! He wasn’t some lawyer that they just ‘found’… he was one of the revolutionary generals! And he didn’t throw Che Guevera out of power, he deposed Batista! What the everliving crap is she on, and why is she an elected official!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
uhhh
What am I chopped liver?
Hey Baby, you lookin’ good! I could use some o’ dat booty.
Let’s go to Havana where we kin go parkin’ in a rusty ‘55 Ford.
Bring lunch.
You have got to be kidding me. Who is she talking to that they are applauding? This nut bag needs to be put on a boat to Cuba to run for office there. If the people in her district elect her again they deserve to have their voting rights rejected. What an asso.
If it’s such a paradise, why are Cubans risking their lives to come to US?
Is it any wonder California is beginning to resemble Cuba–bankrupt, overflowing with the jobless, horrid education system, flocks of folks trying to escape. As they say, you get the government you deserve–and with Watson, Waxman, Boxer, Pelosi and the rest, California not only deserves to be a third world cesspool, it is moving there at a record pace.
Be proud dumb-o-crats, be very very proud!
One year ago, such a bold statement would have meant certain ridicule and probably defeat for this “representative” (and I use that term VERY loosely these days). Not now. Now that Chairman Maobama has made it “cool to be commie”, such statements will be revered by the left-wing as “courageous” and “speaking truth to power”, and other utter nonsense.
It’s time the right stand up and start calling it what it is: the Democrat Party’s agenda is to convert this country to communism, or at least, European-style socialism. Statements like “Rep” Watson’s completely vindicate that assertion and contravene any outcry by the left that we’re just trying to scare the mainstream.
Wow! Do they really have people this stupid in LA??? People, are you listening to this poor excuse of a
Congresswoman? Apparently not, which would explain how she got elected.
What about me taking over all media? Why don’t I seem to count to you?
Cuba has probably one of the worst health care systems on earth.
Hey Hugo, I’ll see your media takeover and raise you a citizen nation security force.
Why don’t you ask all the people murdered under Castro and Che how they fill about their brilliance.
I’ll see your raise and raise to you a banking takeov…wait… an automobile indusrty takeo…wait…
I fold.
Holy cow…… they don’t even have enough toilet paper in Cuba and it is 2009.
What the hell is a matter with this woman?
If Cuba is so wonderful why are they still coming/swimming to America?
Vote this one out! Ding a ling a ling.
HAHA Hugo… never try to out Com a Commie.
We still on for that tupperware party this weekend?
This woman is one of Fidels “useful idiots”. She can join the ranks with Michael Moore. She needs to see therealcuba.com and see what “free health care” is like..Cuba has a two kinds of “health care”. There’s the one for tourists and “useful idiots” like Ms Watson, Michael Moore, OLiver Stone, etc and there’s the one the people of Cuba see. The “health care” the Cuban people get is appalling and disgraceful.
Ack, I forgot…
I scheduled a centrifuge party with Ahjmadenajhad(sic), Putin, and Kim Jung-Il…
How about next weekend after you cram through your healthcare?
sure thing…
catch you on the flip side
I am outta here
I’m going there for my next heart transplant. But I hear I have to bring my own pillow and sheets.
Cuba is such a paradise they have to make it crime to try and leave.
As others have said, if you like Cuba so much, move.
AND SHUT UP!
America…yet another psychological indoctrination of the black community by a black slave owner!
Black America…wake up you are being used as a tool and are considered a fool by the “man”….the new slave owner!
Only today…the new “man” keeping you down is black!
Wake up and stop letting them brainwash you.
They made it in America…why are they trying to keep you from making it?
Because when they constantly tell you that you are a victim…they can control you.
They control your way of life, your votes…they own you and they know it!
Only you can break these chains of victimization and slavery!
There will be no country coming to your defense to free you…only you have that power! Only you can do it!
Start by not believing the propaganda coming out of the mouths of the new slave owners…the black leaders of today!
Only you can control your destiny…take it and succeed!
============================
THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!
1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!
IMPEACHMENT OR THE “ORIGINAL” KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
Where was this woman when she was making this comment? Where in America would she feel comfortable enough to make that statement? People like her are the greatest threat to our nation that we have ever had. Wake up America before it is too late!
Oh My God, do you believe this HS! My god people wake up. Our country is being subverted from the inside. WE AS AMERICANS MUST STOP THIS AT ANY COST! WE have a group of people have been brain washed with the communist ideal and if we are not careful we will be communist. It is time to fight by any means necessary to prevent our nation falling into the trap of big government. Stand and Fight!
Oh Brrack and Hugo…. you guys are crazy!
No can do Hugo….I think I’m going to go on another vacation.
let me know when you get a chance I got a new book for you to flip through.
peace out
Yea, it’s so wonderful, that people are fashioning cars with flotation devices to escape to the U.S.
These libs don’t even try to hide there contempt for this country anymore.
Hitler was brilliant too!
I look forward to your book… by the way I got this awesome new brown shirt I’ll wear.
Just to clarify… That is Diane Watson of L.A. (Los Angeles), not LA (Louisiana).
No wonder these people made Obama President if Castro meets criteria for a good leader. What’s bad is good and what’s good is bad. WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON SENSE?
Go to Drudge Report, and look what Maobummer and Jay Rockefeller have instore for us-useing ur home computers via our servers.
I thought I was okay with 20,000 reloaded rounds? I’m already setting-up to press-out another 10K tonight, and through the weekend.
Our Congress is full of Communists…we need to get them out ASAP!!!!!!!
shut the fu up nigress,and hooray teds dead
Ohhhhhhh Myyyyyyy Godddddddd, Did you hear her say “They kicked out the wealthy”? Then she takes away the revolution from Fidel and makes him out to be a poor lawyer (maybe a community organizer) working away in his office when Che comes a calling looking for a leader. Oh My God. How did you people elect this unintelligent bovine train wreck? Really please respond if you voted for her because I want to see if you can read or form a coherent sentence.
[...] here:Â LA Congresswoman Praises Cuban Revolution & Castro’s Health Care System Filed Under: Latest News [...]
America is now waking up to the fact that Progressives and Obama are socialist. She is saying it. Oh and congresswoman, if you went to Cuba you could not wipe your butt, as they are out of toilet paper…oh hail castro.
All I can say is WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!! DON’T YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MURDERED BY COMMUNISM IN THE LAST CENTURY?!
okay. yes. worked up a little on that one.
Aside from which, she is either lying or ignorant about Fidel’s involvement in the Cuban revolution. Even that bastion of accuracy, Wikipedia, will reflect that Guevara met the Brothers Castro and together, they embarked on their bloody revolution. Guevara was the point of the gun with which Castro took Cuba. (Overthrowing the rich people was such a glorious victory, because now, only one person in Cuba is rich: Castro)
This is what the MSM and Socialist/Liberals have given America. Undercover Communist Politicians.
Any normal American who thinks being Liberal is a good thing – should be embarassed by this representation.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!!
If you think she’s an “isolated incident”, she is not. I think the majority of this administration feels exactly as she does, but cannot say it out loud…yet.
I totally agree with the commenter above, that blacks in America are being lied to and used to stir up racism and division. Divide and conquer. Take a look at history, a close look, and then decide if the Dems are the party you should be affiliating with.
Stop all this nonsense, people. I just contacted the Congresswoman’s LA office and obviously her words – all of them – were taken out of context. There will be an explanation posted anytime now….anytime now…anytime now…anytime now…
Here is Obamas real problem.
Conservative Talk radio needs to be destroyed.
White Amerika needs to go back to when they were told what to think by Liberal newspapers and liberal TV.
Liberal Prograssive ideas is what is best for Amerika.
We need more immigration, we can never have enough non assimilating people with less education than high a school dropout. When Obama gives the next Amnesty to 20 million illegal aliens ( undocumented nation Builders) that are already here they can bring in 80 million poor sick relatives, this will make us a wealthy country, anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to keep white people paying trillions for social programs to promote social justice. They should continue to pay trillions for a hundred more generations or until there are no more white people. Anyone that disagrees is a racist.
we need to never let white people forget only they can be racist. Anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to shut down the Internet as too may white people are starting to think that letting immigrants that have a religious or territorial grievance into Amerika is a bad idea. anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to shut down the Internet as too may white people are starting to think that multiculturalism and Diversity and affirmative action tastes like Jim Jones kool aid. anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to only elect presidents in the future that go to churches where everyone there thinks white people are blue eyed devils and has a pastor and minister that spends his life promoting hate against white people but when the minister decides to move he moves his family into a 95 percent wealthy white community instead of the hood. Anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to stop the FBI from releasing crime statistics that show year after year that white people get killed by blacks at a 100 to one ratio compared to blacks killed by whites, and white women are raped about a thousand times more often by blacks than blacks are raped by whites, These statistics are racist and ignore the structural societal nature of the problem and should be dismissed and never revealed as they are racist and imply whites are being targeted by blacks. Have we forgotten already only whites can be guilty of a hate crime?
Anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to never let whitey off the hook for things white people did like buy slaves 300 years ago in an era when everybody else was buying slaves, while never mentioning black ancestors that sold black people to whitey 300 years ago or how whitey killed 600,000 other whiteys in a civil war to end slavery in Amerika yet slavery still exists in black Afrika. Anyone that disagrees is a racist.
We need to keep affirmative action going even though it no longer gives to ancestors of slaves in Amerika but now provides funding to any person of color that steps off a plane so in effect we are giving affirmative action to the world as any prograssive will tell you all the worlds problems are caused by whitey and he needs to keep paying, anyone that disagrees is a racist.
Finally, people that complain about Glenn Beck need to remeber Beck looks an awful lot like frosty the Snowman. Everyone knows from attending college and being taught by progressives that even frosty the Snowman is a racist. anyone that disagrees is a racist.
Thank God I don’t live in this woman’s district. I’d be embarrassed someone would think I voted for this idiot.
The woman is barking mad.
They must put something in the water in CA. How can sane people vote for these fools and keep a straight face?
I am not sure what is scarier, her praise and comments about Fidel being super bright, or the people I hear in the background blindly clapping for her comments praising a communist oppressor…
Following up on my comment above, I asked the nice young lady how the Congresswoman’s history of Cuba clashes with that of —- Castro himself. I’ve never heard the story that he was out in the countryside – a country lawyer? – and he was discovered after the revolution. Hell, he had a gun and led guerillas alongside Raul and Che. What the hell was she talking about? She’s a certified nutjob but she’s obviously not Socialist; if she was a Socialist, she would know her history.
Che what? Che kicked out the richies … then went out and found someone to lead the revolution? I can’t believe anyone but a pure idiot would say such an amazing thing. Check out the Cuban revolution … like … from a book. Fidel pretty much ran the revolution; Che joined up, later. Ignore any and everything the Cuban hostess said when you went down there on your fact-finding vacation, Diane. Fidel and Che were murderers. Period.
Isn’t Castro the guy in Florida who makes the convertible chairs? Limbaugh was right- no matter how white folks accept bl;ack folks, black folks will always blame white folks more and more. It ain’t about race, you racist LA goofball, it’s about policy. But if you want to inject race, how come you folks destroy every neighborhood you move into? Just askin’.
I did go to Cuba, it was a hell hole. You want to know what I learned? Communism = no toilet paper/ no food. The local people in Havana live like rats. There healhcare didn’t look all that great to me, I saw quite a few sick people begging for money on the streets. There were check points everywhere. If the Cuban system is so great, then she needs to move there. Oh by the way does this lady not realize that Fidel and his cronies are predjudice against blacks…What a bunch of idiots.
The audacity of that woman to praise that murderous thug Castro as bright!!! He’s so bright that the country is running out of toilet paper!! We need to take this country back from these communists NOW!! YES WE CAN!! YES WE CAN!!! (ps watch beck tonight)
Yet another blithering IDIOT sucking at the public trough who is far to STUPID to actually earn a living…here’s an idea you moronic tw*at…MOVE YOUR FAT STUPID ASS TO CUBA AND GOOD F’N RIDDANCE…too bad your parents didn’t believe in birth control.
This idiot brought to you thanks to the Democrat party.
Change…it’s ALL you’ll have left.
I would love to have seen her audience. I think I heard two, maybe three people clapping.
I suppose her constituents are even less intelligent than she is.
As the son of Cuban immigrants this is about the most insulting and
ignorant statement that could be made. Did she visit the political prisons?
Has she checked the political executions that have gone on for decades? She is
Seriously? Are you kidding? Who are the idiots that allowed this woman to put herself into office? You know what? Let
them all move to the island of cuba and make it their own country. It is already under a communist dictatorship and a
wonderful national healthcare system. Hell, they would have to fight about it anymore! The Liberal State is already set
This is a disgusting display of what has happened to the Democaratic Party. It is now the Socialist Democratic People’s Party and they are intent on destroying this country. This kind of crap has to be stopped, NOW.
Castro killed his political and cultural foes without abandon and this whore praises him? This is who she idolizes? If this isn’t a wake up call, then you’re deaf, dumb, and blind.
America will die under these fools.
Hey, Delmar Jackson – stop playing the race card, quit being a victim, and grow up!!!
…and this history lesson my friends is why public education is far inferior to home/private schooling.
Seriously? Are you kidding? Who are the idiots that allowed this woman to put herself into office? You know what? Let
them all move to the island of cuba and make it their own country. It is already under a communist dictatorship and a
wonderful national healthcare system. Hell, they would have to fight about it anymore! The Liberal State is already set
up for them…..oh, wait….these type of people cant do this for themselves. They need the rest of us to do the working
and the fighting….
My nephew is a Doctor and has been to Cuba on mission trips to give shots and medical aid to children who have no meedical help, food or anything.
Is someone giving praise for that????
I can not believe what I just heard. The Talking dont know………And the knowing dont Talk! VOTE THESE NUTS OUT! This is a wake up call All you people who just heard this dribble coming from an American Representative. Appauling and sad!
California – the land of fruits and nuts! This is cold hard proof!
I don’t know whether to become a DemoKraut or a Commicrat. I guess I will wait for someone to tell me whhat line to get into.
Cuba (Kubarrrr to you Massachuttes’ers) has already solved its problem of illegal immigration.
Man is she cementing the “All light skinned black congress women are stupid” stereotype.
Che was a great revolutionary, no he was a great murderer.
He was a failed revolutionary, just ask the folks in brazil where he was killed.
This LA respresentative is as loopy as they come. Sounds like she and Maxine are cut from the same red cloth, why is the west coast so crazy for socialism. I think they are actually more in love with Stalin, he just killed his distractors.
if cuba is so great why don’t you move there? eh, watson?? does she not realize how many people have left the island on anything that floats? who the hell would risk their life to go there? I think its a miracle that her brain has enough power to keep her breathing.
How can someone praise a system of government in a country whose people can’t even buy toilet paper?
YES WE CAN…Build a http://www.NewNation.org …YES WE CON!
Have all of Obama’s Commie friends decided to come out of the closet at the same time???
It’s a toss-up deciding which is more ignorant – the mental-gnat spewing her incoherencies or the slack-jaws in the audience responding with approving hoots and hollars. What’s really laughable is that these are the same people who called GWB a monkey
A glittering jewel of colossal ignorance…
Its difficult at best to believe that this imbecile of a woman is an elected member of Congress.
DATELINE: NOT FROM CNN CENTER IN ATLANTA – Unearthed CHAPPAQUIDDICK DIVER Radio Interview.
I just passed a stool that is smarter than this Congresswoman.
Congresswoman, I can’t believe that this dumb bitch is a Congresswoman.
What a freak’n joke.
Oh Lucy…. you’ve got lots of ‘esplaining to do!
Did we forget what the word TREASON means. Sadly, history is doomed to repeat itself.
Why doesn’t she give up her gold-plated Congress health care so she can go wait in line at a cuban clinic with no medicine?. It’s time to start drug-testing congress/senate people. I’ve never seen such an array of losers,pervs,dumb broads and eunuch males. Drug test before they vote on legislation- just like McDonalds.
Here’s hoping that the LA congresswoman’s sentiment is widely broadcast. I want all of America to hear her and to learn from her and about her. As a former Miami resident with close ties to the Cuban expat community, I can say, without reservation, that this woman is a complete idiot! She is my poster woman for the state of the Democrat Party in 2009. What a pathetic person. Hey LA, is this the best you can come up with?!? In Miami, she wouldn’t be elected as dog catcher. Ask anyone who risked their life escaping from Cuba if they share the congresswoman’s sentiment. Me thinks not. Dems, you must be so proud!
Castor’s the coolest dictator ever!
I Love the Cuban Men!
They like it when I go down there and play “Cabana Boy” with them – http://www.crewclub.net
She should ask Dr. Biscet how good that health care in Cuba is .
Oh yeah , that’s right she can’t since he’s been rotting in a Cuban jail for giving Martin Luther King Jr. I have a dream speech.
(yes Dr.Biscet is black and not to happy with the change that occured in Cuba and he grew up with that change)
If she loves Castro’s health care so much maybe she should swap places with Dr. Biscet because he would be very happy to have ours.
Here’s the BUZZZZZZZZ….SHUT UP ABOUT CUBA’S HORRIBLE, DISASTEROUS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, GRINGOSSSSSSS
MY FAT-AZZED, 450lb FRIEND MICHAEL MOORE SAY’SSSSSSS IT’SSSS GOOOOOOD…
THIS DIM BULB CONGRESSLADY/EMBASSESSSSSSMANT SAY’SSSSSSS IT’SSSS GOOOOOOD….
LIFE IN MY CUBAN PATIENT’S WOUNDS IS GOOOOOOOD……WE’RE HAVING KIDSSSSSS, 300 BOUNCING BABY LARVA’SSSSS
WHY DO YOU AMERICAN’SSSSSSSS ALWAYSSSSSS WANT TO “BREAK UP THE PARTY”?
Well, Herman Goering and Dr. Mengala were bright cookies, too. What a total moron.
is Watson a Cuban mole?
she doesn;t look like an American.
she doesn’t look like OBama either.
Fidel’s daughter? maybe!
Is there ONE black politician whom isn’t an utter fool?
Sick just sick!
Kennedy/Dodd Health Care Bill?
It must be some sort of a SICK JOKE…on US!! http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/mjk.htm
That’s what happens when you allow Black Liberation Theology nuts political power. They are anti-American, always have been and still are.
Look who the president is? A bi-racial waif with a muslim family past and a Marxist family past.
Any questions?
This is totally ridiculous and I hope that cubans as well as other victims of any communist regime would be outraged and stand up to this person who is clearly not educated in what it is to live under the rule of a communist dictator. Perhaps she should go live in Cuba!
But my real question is,I wonder how she would feel, IF ANYONE WAS TO PRAISE THE TREATMENT OF SLAVES, AND SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD ALL VISIT PLACES WHERE SLAVERY IS PRACTICED, and suggest that perhaps, WE SHOULD REINSTATE SLAVERY…I wonder how she would fee then.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died, suffered and risked their lives becuase of this very brutal and evil man she praises and apparently admires. People would not risk their lives in shark infested waters if life and the system was so wonderful. Those comments clearly demonstrate the lack of knowledge and ignorance and is the sign she should not be in any government position, given her views. Peopleyour Liberty and freedoms are in jeopardy because of individuals like these who complain about our country yet have never experienced living under such a brutal regime.
It is time we the people do really begin fighting back because oppression, Congreswoman, toward any group is not to be tolerated, not just against your own skin color. This also clearly demonstrates who the real racist are, how dare you praise Fidel Castro, learn the real history and what really happened before you praise a murderer
This is what happens when people vote just for the color of a person’s skin and not for what they stand for. Now you know why liberals want people to remain stupid. Are you listening, Peekskill, Ossining, Mt. Vernon, Yonkers NY.
Please…a little respect. The co-creator of the “Waitress Sandwich” has passed http://sonsoftherepublic.blogspot.com/search?q=dodd
Somewhere Joe McCarthy is smiling right about now.
2010 can’t come soon enough.
What we have here is a racist presidency. This is about the 12th time some dem congressperson or other lackey of the Obama adminstration has screamed foul using ’skin color’ as a ploy. This is the most divisive presidency in history and if The Messiah doesn’t keep himself in check (Prof. Gates) or his minions in check, there will be a race war in this country. Obama is only president because of affirmative action. The man has no credentials or qualifications whatsoever. What, he was a community organizer and a college professor? Whoop tee doo doo.
Anderson Pooper? Is it really you! Let me say girlfriend, you are delicious…”you rook mahvelous”….are those “Gloria Vanderbuilt’s” you wrapping that booty in?
I’m soooo star struck! My little heart is fluttering, no-IT IS silly, like, for real….my Chihuahua “Roxy” is even excited…
Anderson Pooper, your are one edible hunk of *anchorman* (I don’t mean TV, I mean like the HIGH SEAS!)
I might switch my fantasy sessions from that tall, dark, hot cup of black steaming coffee named Obama and “go with” you!
Ever heard his speeches? BORING, endless monologue about himself, his thoughts, his feelings, and telling everybody else what to do. Hey, sounds like an LA Democrat, no wonder she says he’s bright!
I am not concerned about the President’s blackness (or his whiteness), I am concerned that he is a marxist demagogue.
Let me start by saying Calrence Thomas is our best supreme court justice, better than Scalia, so spare me bogus cries of racism because the most racist people in America are black Democrats. As a general rule, general and not applicable to all, as a group, African descendants have proven to be a scourge on America. They are overwhelmingly anti-American, racist, violent, irresponsible socialists who have wreaked financial and physical havoc on Americans for far too long, much moreso than your average white Democrat. The same is true of present day Africans, who are constantly at war and demanding tens of billions in annual handouts from whites. Young black males (Democrats one and all) commit 2/3 of all violent crime in America and 96% of blacks voted for Obama. There are far more poor whites than blacks, but since they don’t commit anywhere near the amount of violent crime blacks do economics is clearly not the cause. The problem stems from the general lack of morals of all Democrats, the anti-white, anti-American “preaching” by the likes of Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan and nearly every other racist, Marxist, anti-American black leader.
Only goes to show how stupid her constituents are.
More wood added to the fire. I can’t even imagine what she would’ve said if she met Hitler.
Living proof that she didn’t need a high school diploma to be elected in Calikoko.
To further my point, I wonder also – what would be said if I as a white woman was to try and speak about slavery having never been a victim myself, nor any of my ancestors. If I were to praise the “good old days” of slavery, how would she feel. Then what makes this woman believe she can comment on how wonderful things are in Cuba, when Cubans are slaves on their own island. They arent allowed in tourist areas, and they cannot even fish in the waters, because they belong to the government….so they do it a night to feed their families. I am APPALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rations, anyone heard of those “hopefully” it will never be experienced here, even for people like Mrs. Congresswoman.I know many people who have suffered because of the Fidels and Chavezs’ of the world….very, very sad.
This is UNBELIEVABLE! How can people be this stupid and yet walk upright and wear shoes?!
It’s OK, she’s just all whee wheeed up.
If it’s so great (Cuba’s health care plan), then I would suggest that she and every other Congressman and Congressperson, give up their current plan and use it!
I doubt that Senator Kennedy would have lasted as long as he did with Cuba’s marelous health care system. And under ObamaCare they would have been forced to pull the plug on him. You know, since he is costing the system too much and being a burden on us…
When you go to hospital in Cuba you must bring your own bedding and they keep it when you leave! THIS IS TRUE MY FAMILY IS FROM CUBA!!! THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO GO THERE AND STAY!!!!
I don’t own a home in CUBA…yet. http://www.liveshot.cc/billions_and_billions.htm
I SERVED IN VIETNAM.
OOPS! My bad I had him mixed up with Ricky Ricardo!
Babaloo er’body! er’body in da house babaloo!
WOW!! Let there be no mistake as to where Obama and the lib’s want to take this county. My wife was born and raised in Cuba, legally immigrating to America in the 70’s. I challenge the Representative to have a debate with “ANY” Cuban and ask them where they would like to live. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
People flee Cuba so it’s easy to ration care and control a shrinking population. Wish this Dumb Congresswoman would move there.
2010 AMERICA make a list and support their defeat put this dummy on it!
This should be the last straw. We have to institute a test for our representatives before they can assume office. They must pass a written test based on knowledge of the country’s history and the Constitution. Legal immigrants have to pass such a test and it is a disgrace that we have people serving us who don’t even like or respect the USA.
These fools are in charge of voting how to spend taxpayer dollars. No wonder the money is gone!
This woman is a filthy racist pig. She is a race hustling loser. She should be run out of this country. She should not be allowed to live here. She should be deported. She is a Marxist and a filthy pig.
For people who make jokes about this, let me tell you, you won’t be laughing if you end up living under such a system. By then, it would be to late, and your government would have the last laugh. Really not funny, and very sad.
Forgot to mention this. Look it up. This Cuban worker’s paradise delusion, espoused by the idiot princess, runs counter to the fiscal reality not shared between Fidel and his prisoner-population. Forbes estimates Fidel’s net worth a 900-million dollars, while his people live in sub-standard housing, with rotten plumbing and a $10-15 monthly income, on average. Explain that discrepancy Mrs. Mouth.
I’m about to turn my internet off forever.
Castro was also a one time professional baseball player. It must have been a lot of WORK.
When our CONGRESSMEN/WOMEN show such contempt for their OWN FREEDOMS by praising a communist leader who has held his own people down for DECADES – we need to show them that WE DON’T WANT TO LIVE LIKE CUBANS!!
WHY do you think that so MANY Cubans attempt to get to the USA every year??
If anyone thinks the health care system in place in Cuba is better than hours
I hope the framers of this system that is getting forced on us gets in a part of
the system that uses word for word like it is in Cuba. Personally I would like
something else.
I would bet that the person who wrote those words also is very much in favor of
class warefare.
Jim
A fine example of a “useful idiot”
I pesonally am getting a little tired of these un-American types who many like her are elected leaders. Also I don’t give a damn about the color of her, the Presidents or anyone elses skin. This stuff is unbelievable – like a bad dream.
Switallas – August 28th, 2009 – 3:48 pm “Is there ONE blak politician whom isn’t an utter fool?”
Very few…J.C.Watts from Oklahoma, the retired Congressman from Oklahoma, heck of a ball player
too …a retired U.S. Army Col. from North Carolina named Huddleston is running next year against one
of Rahm’s DemocratSS
there are a few…most are drinking the “race pi mp” koolaide, getting rich, looking ~fly~, traveling to
Cuba, and Africa on “vacation” payed for by the tax payers $$$$ and if possible
stuffing the freezer with “cold cash”, like “Cold Cash” Jefferson of Louisiana…or getting impeached
like the criminal from Florida Alcee Hastings…
what’s to moderate? the truth?
A good number of previous posting here have said something like, “wake up folks.” Problem is it’s too late now — we’ve all overslept, and we are no longer the majority.
This Congresswoman and all those that voted for her are in full control, and there’s not much we can do about it. It will be the parasites feasting on the productive from now on. I hate it too, but just look at the numbers: after all that’s happened Obama is still just above 50% in approval ratings. There is a hard left core that wants what we have, and they are going to take it.
Sorry that so many of you were to lazy to complain during Bush-Clinton-Bush because the McCain Republicans have also done us in – although at a much slower rate than Obama.
They have been slowly cooking our old Liberty Frog for a long time now. He just now realizes it’s too late to jump out of the pot.
Every time you see & hear such an ignorant “public servant,” you can rail against their stupidity, un-American positions, destructive legislation & horrible voting record, etc., etc., but just remember WE VOTED THEM IN! We’ve got to do a better job of vetting candidates BEFORE we vote for them & if they turn out to be nutty leftist anti-Americans such as this person, we’ve got to vote them OUT & replace them with someone who serves the welfare of the people, not narrow special interests. All these rotten elected officials – we voted them in! Now, what are we going to do about it?
She forgot to mention her other beloved heroes:
1. Josef Stalin
2. Pol Pot
3. Adolf Hitler
4. Chairman Mao
5. Idi Amin
To the great shame of California, and all of America that stupid ignorant fools like this worthless speck keep getting ELECTED!
Her hero Fidel is the reason the once thriving country of Cuba is in ruins, it’s people starving, and where it’s ILLEGAL to try and LEAVE!
Did anyone notice the pride in her voice when she said “they threw out the wealthy…”? This is what she wants for America. Heil Obama.
Spoken like a true IDIOT. LA deserves her and Maxine Waters
This idiot needs to spend about 20 years working on a Cuban govt. cane field prison farm.
It is unbelievable that people still believe that health care under Castro is any good.
It is a three-tiered system:
1) Great care for those in the Communist Party, about 1% of the population;
2) Great care for visiting Westerners with cash who want treatments such as plastic surgery;
3) Horrible third world care for 99% of the population.
Fidel Castro, you are the best salesman on the planet! You can even convince otherwise smart U.S. Congresswomen of non-existant realities!
boy o boy is she igorant about cuba first it was batista who got thrown out. and rightly so and he was not an attorney he was a rebel living in the mountains although the country under batista
was corrupt and a dictatorship i believe the people were much better than under castro. anytime anyone goes to cuba to see the health care system they see what castro wants then to see i have been in the countryside and the conditions are horrible they dont even have blankets and pillows you have to bring your own this congresswoman is a flaming idiot liberal who aparently cannot think
on her own or try to get the truth they like countries like cuba beacuse everyone suffers together except the elite like her. she
makes me sick……..
SHE JUST STATED THE REAL LONG TERM GOAL OF HEALTHCARE REFORM.
let us all do as Castro does. Lock troublesome citizens away in the hospitals for the insane.
Oh BTW, he locked up AIDS patients too.
Does that ring a bell liberals?
This fool needs to be put out of office.
VERY SCARY, INDEED. WORSE YET, THOUSANDS ACTUALLY VOTED THIS PERSON INTO OFFICE.
“Is there ONE blak politician whom isn’t an utter fool?” Swatillas
Very few…J.C.Watts from Oklahoma, the retired Congressman from Oklahoma, heck of a ball player
too …a retired U.S. Army Col. from North Carolina named Huddleston is running next year against one
of Rahm’s DemocratSS
there are a few…most are drinking the “race pi mp” koolaide, getting rich, looking ~fly~, traveling to
Cuba, and Africa on “vacation” payed for by the tax payers $$$$ and if possible
stuffing the freezer with “cold cash”, like “Cold Cash” Jefferson of Louisiana…or getting impeached
like the criminal from Florida Alcee Hastings…
what’s to moderate? the truth?
Well I would say she has all the qualifications for Obama’s health “CZAR”. LOL
We should be more like the Communist Paradise of Cuba where Castro leaves and goes to Spain, the other Socialist paradise, for a simple operation? LOL
Liberalism is truly a mental disorder and never ceases to amaze me.
she must be Waxman’s half sister with those nostrals.
In Cuba you could be a king, a rich one at that, if you had a single roll of toilet paper. I just got 72 rolls at Costco. You gotta believe that Castro has an entire division of the Cuban army looking for his next roll. Citizen lawyer? My fresh wiped butt!!! He arrived in Havana with a gun and grenades and Che at his side.
I can tell this fool making these comments is a product of our enhanced inner city education system, one fully funded by Teddy and the rest.
The far left of the democratic party are a bunch of reds.
I’ve never understood black people’s attraction to Marxism. Is it the dialectic, “from each according to his means to each according to his needs?” (Pretty much our current President’s theory).
Ever since Angela Davis, these leftists bubble up with praise for societies where everyone is pretty much at the same level of misery. I guess people like this Congresswoman don’t give others in her race much credit for achievement, or pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
It’s still puzzling to me.
I do not see American’s building rafts out of tires and risking their lives and the lives of thier children to come to this country. My closest friend is Cuban, his father fled to this country during this “wonderful” revolution after his uncle was executed for not giving up his farm to the people. This women is a fool of the worst kind, stop voting for her.
Hey, Rep. Watson (& I use the term loosely):
If Fidel is running such a workers’ paradise, why is all the traffic LEAVING Cuba and not going the other way?
Please keep running your mouth, lady, and America will soon understand what the term USEFUL IDIOT (see Mona Charen’s book) really means!
You know…she is correct. Castro was smart enough to outlast fifty years of the most powerful nation in the world trying to conduct a “regeme change” in his country. He is still there. A dope like Sarah Palin would never have made it. Smart doesn’t necessarily mean nice.
How can she say that cuba has a good healthcare system?
Their revolutionary leader had to travel to Spain to get the care he needed because his country doesn’t have a system of healthcare good enough for the “President” of cuba….But I’m sure healthcare for the masses is sufficient enough.
Indeed the time has come once again to water the tree of liberty lest it wither and die.
Los Angeles ELECTED this idiot! Let’s see, what’s in LA…Hollywood idiots, Illegal aliens on welfare, ah..a large voting Bloch of nincompoops.
What is most astonishing is how someone so patently ignorant can get elected to public office.
I am so fed up with politicians who are so stupid! May as well include voters who are so stupid that they elect such stupid politicians.
What the heck is she talking about? Where on Earth did she learn her Cuban history? The people of her district (who voted for her) should be ashamed of themselves. No wonder people get frustrated with Government: This is one of our elected leaders of this country. And she wants to control our medical system….
This “Representative” must have bought the Michael More version of Cuba’s hospitals. Here is what the average Cuban gets for a hospital in Castro’s fiefdom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25_RgM1jHeo&eurl=http://www.babalublog.com/
No surprise she likes Castro and Obama. There is not a dimes worth of difference between either of them in their underlying belief system and their willingness to masquerade as moderates that they were not in order to get power (Castro as an “agrarian reformer” and Obama as a “moderate democrat”)
What IS it with Democrat politicians and communist dictators????
Are you serious? A perfect example of ignorance and stupidity. This woman, for lack of a better word, should do her research before she comes out speaking total nonsense & garbage. It is an embarrassment to hear a government official speak this way….and an insult to the fine Cuban-Americans who reside in this (”once”) great nation. Who knows, maybe all the recent events that have surfaced over the internet these past few months will finally face-slap every citizen in this country and realize that the so-called “CHANGE” is and will never be better. Wake up America, because you’ve been fooled.
Another Black Racist Communist…
Seems to be for every one normal black American there 6 of these losers in office.
“Most Brightest leaders I ever meet” in comparrison to? Ahmadinejad? Bush Jr.? Obama? Kim Jong Il? or Osama Bin Ladin? maybe your refering to Sadam?
She needs to get seriously sick in Cuba and not go to the hospital that is reserved for government officials and the wealthy (the one that Michael Moore visited when he filmed “Sicko”). She needs to go to one of the hospitals that are provided for the rest of the people. And, why is Cuba’s infant mortality rate so low? It’s low because they make no attempt to save premature babies. They let them die because they don’t have the facilities to care for them. And, they don’t count them as births, so their infant mortality rate is very low. U.S. hospitals try to save every one and count them all as births. I’ll bet she doesn’t know that either. How do these stupid people get elected? Maybe stupid voters.
This is what happens when you let Woodstock run your country.

“I am so fed up with politicians who are so stupid! May as well include voters who are so stupid that they elect such stupid politicians.”
Voters elect people who most closely mirror themselves. That is why we have such imbeciles in office – most voters are the same. Sad but true. Only 5% of the population are not politically naive.
More of her racist jargon is on this 2006 video in which she stated that Minutemen “wear hoods”… and is challenged on that by a black Minuteman…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLGTw_1PpaU
A much higher proportion of the members of the CBC are a joke, as compared to other constituencies. And she is no exception. Its too bad that minority districts consistently pick clowns to represent them.
Barrack is racist against his own people….he is keeping the black man down now by keeping him enrolled in his social welfare programs….blacks that have become successful in the US typically see this…the others are simply communists. Barrack is a failure.
Yeah i guess that is pretty smart, putting refugee’s on boats and sending them to the States for free health care. That we pay for but dont benifit from, how the hell did these people make it into office.
How did this lady get elected? Easy. “Gerrymandering” during Redistricting.
Why are the Cubans boating and swimming HERE if things are so Great THERE?
Also easy. They are risking their lives to come here and tell us how WONDERFUL their healthcare system is IN Cuba.
What a complete waste of skin she is.
I am a Cuban who came here before Castro got his hands on the country.
I am proud to be an American. This is the greatest country in the world.
Ms. Watson needs to emigrate to Cuba. She wouldn’t last a month.
You and your president will certainly be destroyed, if you can not like Fidel Castro’s
Cuba to demand your Government to service all your American Free of Charge.
Move to Cuba then – take your pal hussein with you.
@doc
Hey doc, not only do you have to bring your own pillow and sheets , you’re going to have to bring your own replacement heart. Preferably one ripped from the chest of a still breathing liberal.
I say we give the esteemed congresswomen Watson exactly what she wants. Next time she needs to see a doctor she get a one-way ticket to Cuba, and we could use stimulus money to pay for the trip. Finally we would have a case of government money that was well spent.
Wander why she is praising a DICTATOR? Why not praise Chavez? How about the Libyan dictator whatever his name is–Gaddafi or something. They are probably “bright” too, just dictators. To this @ss hat, that is cool. Think she based all of her “intelligence” on michael moore’s little fun-film where in I hear he praises the health care in Cuba (if you can get it). Are you surprised she is an idiot? The people in her district are the result of years and years of democrat-liberal socialism indoctrinating government and school system in California. Her constituents probably think she and obamalama ding dong are geniuses.
The Cuban system and the Cuban Health Care model are exactly
where we’re headed under this administration. Actually the groundwork
has been laid going back to the Dem takeover of Congress and before that to FDR. Crunch the numbers and it’s obvious that the Cuban system is in our future, if we continue to allow our ELECTED representatives to line their pockets while neglecting their Constitutional duties. It doesn’t
take a genius to figure this out. In the late 1940’s the leader of the Communist Party in the USA declared his work was done. WHY? Because the Democrats had taken up the Communists agenda and began to push it forward under FDR. It’s a matter of historical fact. Google it. In addition, FDR is the one who introduce the idea of a Second Bill of Rights, which again takes power away from the People and puts it in the hands of the Federal Govt. Then today I read that Obama and the Dems are in favor of “EMERGENCY CONTROL” of the internet. That doesn’t sound good to me. How about you? Suckers!
America wake up!!!!
These radical communist are taking our county down and will make us just another 3rd world nation.
Incredible, never dreamed I would see this in my life time.
God help us.
We need a revolution to get these people out.
This communist is no longer a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Wake up, America, and realize what these people actually believe. They are sick communist bastards who want to destroy the land of the free.
She should be immediate banned from returning to DC., pull he citizenship and drop her off in Cuba
[I am a Cuban who came here before Castro got his hands on the country.] (CSinMiami August 28th, 2009 –
4:51 pm )
You are Cuban loser, Ms. Watson is winner, loser must have no right to demand the winner to
follow your sucking crime to leave her or his own first place behind. What Ms. Watson should do is to learn the
good better best point from Fidel Castro to demand US military to seal US border and kill anyone trying to leave or
come, then demand US government to service all American Free of Charge.
Why is everybody getting so bent about this? She’s an idiot from a district of
idiots. She was an idiot before Obama and so were the third world wannabes that
voted for her.
This is nothing new. Let her talk. Let everybody see what kind of idiots are
supporting the idiot in the White House.
(We’ve already had a bellyfull of remembering one of the scumbags that supported
him)
For those of you who think Cuba Healthcare is so great, check out this website
It’s a bit disconcerting, but the congresswoman is clear proof, at least by her words, that the idiots of this nation are well represented in congress.
Birds of a feather flock together. Both she and Obama are in love with communists! I seriously question the sanity of anyone who voted for this failure of a congress woman. How’s that hope and change working for you America?
The really sad part is that this moron and a host of others will be re-elected – over and over and over again. Things begin to smell BAD when you allow life-long parasites (like this POHS) to eat at the public trough and spew crap like this without fear of losing their jobs. We get the government we elect and deserve no different (hate it – but it is fact)
VOTE THESE TREASON LOVING PARASITES OUT OF OFFICE!
I never thought I would see the day when members of the United States Congress were politically to the left of Russia…”oh Brave New World, that has such creatures in it”…
And to think that you foolish taxpayers who paid for her FACT FINDING trip are complaining!
All of you will be added to the “fishy e-mail” list that the Anointed One is compiling in the White House.
Knock it off…you have been warned!
Diane Watson–living, breathing proof that there should be an intelligence test administered to everyone before they are granted the right to vote. Of course, most of Watson’s Congressional district within The People’s Republic of L.A. would be disenfranchised.
How is it possible to be this disgustingly ignorant!!! Castro stole the political freedom from the Cuban people, and even murdered anybody who didn’t happen to agree with his own peculiar political agenda. When socialists take over, they can’t deal with any opposing viewpoints. The Democratic Party has NO STANDARDS for membership. Its become populated with nutjobs, Marxists and racists. This fool doesn’t even know the history of the Cuban Revolution. She thinks that the Argentinian psychopath, Ernesto “Che” Guevarra, led the revolution?! She thinks that Castro was just a Cuban lawyer who was later selected to lead the country?
I’m hearing that the state that she belongs to is attempting to recall her as a rep. Under the radar.
My goodness! I have been to Cuba….could it be the same Cuba this nutcake is talking about? It is definitely NOT the same Cuba I know. People I know in Cuba eat 2 meals a day and go hungry. The healthcare is good FOR A FEW, those who have tourist industry jobs or are connected to the govt. This lady is a disgrace to our government and I’s say California deserves her if they elected her! Get a life! Wake up California and America. Sad, sad, sad..
She has spoken like a true politician with her head up her A@#! The Democramunists are sending America to a place where it doesn’t need to be. As a Cuban born AMERICAN I can tell you first hand that she has NO CLUE what conditions are actually like on the island. Wake up America before we lose you!!!
All those benighted commenter’s that have no idea about which they criticize. I happens that Cuba has and has since the revolution, universal free health care, and the most advanced medical viral research center existent.
Cuba has and has had since the revolution, universal free education through graduate level, and sends Cuban Doctors all over the world, including the US to provide free medical services to the poor. The reason the economic situation is so bad, and people want to leave, is the tight embargo the United States has imposed for decades, for reasons hardly remembered any more.
Welcome to Hell…
Ed,
We are observing yet another reason why communists like Castro have long referred to their American admirers as “useful idiots”.
This woman is a G-D DISGRACE!
If you want to see how great Cuban health care is, go the the website “therealcuba” and click on the “free health care”
Well… is it true that Matt Drudge is gay? Certainly his readers like to “circle-jerk” as demonstrated by this comment board. Most of you don’t care about the Cuban health care example because you can afford to get your care in Switzerland, right? Marxists have “useful idiots”, but Capitalists have you people, the “clueless poor”. People who believe they are middle class today and will one day be wealthy. Suckers! Muy estupido, gringo!
When everyone is poor than thats who you work on. Cuba will never have an economy. Castro will not allow this. He is and will always be a dictator and you or anyone else can’t change his mind.
Today is the 46th anniversary of these words:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
I believe Dr. King would be ashamed at the bigotry that has engulfed the African-American community.
wow
I think the liberals are so deranged they don’t even know what is coming out of their mouths these days.
You wouldn’t even be able to be writing here if you lived in Cuba.
And, that moron speaking wouldn’t be able to speak such rubbish, as well.
omg, vote them all out as quickly as possible. They even believe their own BS now.
Cuba is not the total cesspool we hear it is through our own government. Sure, it is third world (part of the blame is due to the embargo–it’s OK to hate Cuban Commies but love Chinese Commies so Walmart can grow; OK to keep Cuba on the Trading with the Enemies List but take off Lybia, which is far more dangerous, off it; not OK to trade with Iran in 1998 but Halliburton can).
Now, why we let Cubans have “political” asylum when it really was economic asylum is beyond me. But, of course, we don’t want Mexicans coming here–that’s “economic” asylum. Let me correct myself: Companies want Mexican nationals here so they can pay cheap wages, then have them go back during the off season.
No, Cuba isn’t a paradise, but if it came down to an absolute choice in this country between conditions like in Cuba or a Christer Theocracy, I’d take the first.
hey Roger Blair,please move to Cuba….it is obvious you have no clue what it is like to live under that regime!!! did you know that your children are the governments property? and you have no say what so ever…Remember the Elian situation, the reason the father changed his mind after originally wanting him to stay is because his family was threatened, its very sad when people dont know what they are talking about
[Move to Cuba then – take your pal hussein with you.]
You can only call her to move to Cuba, cannot give her your good idea to help her to do better, you are too suck
to be an American.
[Wander why she is praising a DICTATOR? Why not praise Chavez? How about the Libyan dictator ]
Because she can do better than you not washed by your US evilest politician gang to see a real Free Leader
Fidel Castro as DICTATOR.
[America wake up!!!!]
Your election is a lie, no matter who’s elected, they are all the same only wearing different phony face.
The only way you can get a decent life is to demand all your Government to service all American Free of
Charge, your government has no right to abuse your public power to force anyone of you to pay tax to feed
their big greedy mouth or pockets. In order for your Government to be able to service all American Free of
Charge, you have to demand your US military to seal your border, not to allow anyone to leave, because
you must not allow any your American to burden other nation’s natural resource, not to allow anyone to enter
because you have to need the time to settle your all American down first. The idea is your all American citizen
can have your share of land with free water free electricity free phone free internet, all any thing your
government form must rely on to get a life all must be Free of Charge to you. Except the private house, all
public land and resource must controlled by your military and managed by your government, that means commerical
building must belong to your military, therefore, anyone want to do business, any foreigner want to visit
USA must pay rent to your government and those money must under your military watch. So that your government
can know what’s going on on the business and what’s going on with those foreigners, and your military can know
what’s going on with your government. You need your military to watch your government, you the people has no
way to be capable to watch those eveilest liars politicians gang to eat you all powerless helpless tax payers
bonelessly.
Roger,
The US embargo is an excuse. Its not like ships surround the island and isolate it. All other nations are free to trade with Cuba to their hearts’ content.
The good news for her is that the main stream media won’t cover it, they gotta cover the a**es of those they favor.
Communist. We’d be smart to start gearing up for the great purges. She forgot to mention that those soviet cuban a-holes aimed nukes at florida. I think I will vomit now.
Just when you get Bimbo Cynthia McKinny out of the US, another one takes her place!!! What are they breathing in LA??
Ok Dummy… Cuba is the best kept secret and letting a congresswoman know about how good it is there… Wow what a conspiracy and every one in congress and the senate and all the aids to them are all in on it. It seem that Cuba is not a paridise nor a model that I want to follow.
“Where ignorance is bliss; tis folly to be wise”
I’m a partiot not a Republican or a Democrat. I care about my country and I think everyone should take care of themselves if they can. If you can’t then I’ll do my share..No free ride for those who wont do thier fair share. Communism will never be tolerated .
Degenerated, not always true when you say, “and this history lesson my friends is why public education is far inferior to home/private schooling.”
I’ll put the top 100 public school educated kids in this country up against the top 100 homeschoolers/private schooling kids any day of the week in an academic contest.
Now, if you take the average of all the public school kids vs. homeschoolers/private schooled kids, yes, you are correct. But the level of inferiority isn’t “far inferior”.
seems to me a concerted effort needs to be made to vote all non-whites out of office.
Hey congresswoman,
Obama kissing the backsides of Fidel and Raul Castro didn’t get those Cuban political prisoners freed now did it?
This woman is clearly CRAZY!!! Has she ever lived in Cuba? Has she ever been in Cuba? My family escaped Castro’s regime over 45 years ago so that they wouldn’t be subjected to a communist government. Now this MORON would like for U. S. citizens to follow the same mentality??? She’s a complete and utter IDIOT!!!
Oh Roger Blair, I get it, you admit you are ignorant!!! that so sweet of you, but dont worry everyone know that!!!!
Stupid, stupid woman. She even has her facts wrong…. idiot.
Fidel is a Communist dictator which has one of the WORST human rights and press freedoms rankings on the planet. Like all Communist countries , Cuba is a prison country where armed guards make sure people don’t leave.
Leftists are just morons, they are completely irrational.
I just need to be part of this list of people that have responded here….The California Congresswomen is probably the most valuable proof that fools are elected to congress which is why the country is broke… If she believes this she will certainly believe you can cover another fifty miLliOn people for less monEy now and let every one have FREE milk in school and every one have a FREE HOUSES and after you don’t pay the morgtage you can have a FREE apartment with FREE food stamps and FREE medicine and FREE school and FREE television and FREE cell phones and FREE clothes and FREE heat in the winter and FRE air conditioning in the summer and FREE…….Well if everyone has all this stuff I can assure everyone that no one wilL EVER be FREE AGAIN……BECAUSE YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE PART OF THE TIME BUT YOU CAN NOT FOOL ALL OF THE PEOPLE AND SAY THIS WOMEN IS COMPETENT AT ANYTHING.
Watson. There you go again. Black folk/liberals trying to make it a racial issue. I guess your too stupid to know that many of the obamacare protesters voted for him. So much for your tired, pathetic argument that anyone who criticizes your messiah is a racist. By the way, you two do look alike – half white. Why don’t you both do us all a favor and go move to cuba?
Bob_in_Ala, what are they breathing in LA? Probably the same type of thing they are breathing in Alaska and Minnesota–Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman are proof of that.
[did you know that your children are the governments property]
In USA, you and your kids are all your evilest politicians gang’s slaves, because you pay tax to feed them to
get a life, they don’t service you back, you pay tax to got fined by your government, to got threatened
(Even in the Jury Summon, they threaten to fine you if you dare insist your free right not to go)by your government, to got jailed by your government, you got killed by your government, worse than any other forms
of government ever did to their own people.
[Remember the Elian situation]
That how Fidel Castro needs to help all American can be serviced Free of Charge like his Elian
serviced to make up his previous mistake.
Typical left wing nutbag. Deport her to Cuba, then we will see what she has to say about her beloved Castro!
Sometimes people like the congresswoman keep swinging at things trying to say something that may be profound. I think that they do it trying to make an image for themselves. If she truly meant this than she is truly misguided. I do not know how she can really believe this.
The irony is delicious. A communist state that blames its failures to feed and clothe it people on its lack of access to capitalism and investment. Does the Left not see its own stupidity?
A commmunist state that denies its people the freedom to travel abroad. Yet decries the lack of tourism.
A communist state that imprisons those who would send money abroad. Yet encourages welfare from individual Cuban-Americans.
A communist state that suppresses freedom of speech and press. Yet demands access to foreign media.
A communist state that caricatures America and Great Britain as imperialists. Yet sends its own soldiers to Mozambique, Angola, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Ethiopia in the support of dictatorships.
A communist state that exports only tobacco, sugar, rum and war. Yet decries the decadent indulgences of the West.
A communist state whose leaders reward themselves with expansve villas, luxury cars and the finest black market goods. Yet mocks the materialism of the great democracies.
A communist state who would imprison any Cuban participating on the “wrong” side of this discussion on the internet or in a coffee shop. Yet encourages violent protests in foreign capitals.
Simply put, Cuba has had a hands-off approach from the United States for 40 years. It has been allowed to succeed or fail on its own terms, without trading with or openly warring against the United States. Now look at it. See anyone sneaking into Cuba?
Cuba, like all communist states, has utterly failed. Whose fault is that?
Is more easy to break the iron chains of slavery, than to break the spiritual an intellectual chains. For all this communists marxists wannabe’s, that is precicely, where the real challenge lays. First and foremost, Ms. Watson you shouldn’t have no other interest, but the truth, and the truth, will set you free. If you were free, you didn’t have to look at Castro , Marx or Lenin etc.. When being tempted Ms.Watson, break away from indolence specially, when seeing other people running away from tyrants and torchbearers of real torture , and precicesly, that is what your “hero” Castro practice all this years. Personal an ancestral experiences shouldn’t entitled you,to wish others something similar. Ms.Watson, the American System the one you so much despise, is the same System who allowed you to belittle it so much. Think, please.
I just returned 3 weeks ago from Cuba (mission trip). I think Ms. Congresswoman needs to take a trip over and see the abject poverty and deplorable conditions the Cuban people have to endure. They stopped advancing 50 years ago. To say that the revolution and Castro were honorable is a slap in the face to every Cuban citizen.
Jojo, lack of human rights in China is far worse than in Cuba. But, we have to have Walmart and someone to cover our debt, don’t we? Lack of human rights in Saudi Arabia is worse than in Cuba. But, we have to have that oil, don’t we? Truth be known, we pick and choose which lack of human rights to ignore, and which human rights to complain about.
davethewave, “Cuba, like all communist states, has utterly failed. Whose fault is that?”
Don’t perceive me as defending Communism, but what in the heck is China? And, heck, the Soviet Union’s failure, if you will, came as the result of an arms race with the United States. Sure, we love to blame it on that pesky communism, but the arms race had a heckuvalot to do with it.

Every thing was free in USA before your evilest US politicians stolen the power from your US military.
Only when you can get every thing free, then you can have every thing made by the best gifted talent people

they indeed like to do instead of forcing to work for money. Your people forced to work for money instead for

You need to know the reason that USA called Free Nation because USA was used indeed every thing was Free, that
how USA could be a great super power. Had USA was controlled by your evilest politicians gang to force your
poorer people to pay tax to feed your sucking White House to live that waste, there’s no way your USA can be
super power. No way.
I think this says it all… Hailing Fidel Castro? What are these democrats doing? I think we all know they want complete control over each and everyone of us. This is nothing more than a power grab. Can you image if a Republican Senator where to have mutter these words what would have happened! Front page of every paper and the top news story of the day. Disgusting! Yes another reason to defeat this mindset, not the person the mindset…arrogance, corruption and control.
kueiyingwanglin, you don’t make any sense. We get a jury summons and that is worse than Cuba imprisoning any protester, intellectual, or anyone that defies his rule?
Castro is a thug, he just uses the language of leftists to put morons like you to sleep so he can rule with an iron fist.
You’re a useful idiot. Useful. Idiot.
You have got to be kidding me lady; why the HELL do you think they come here on raft boats; go to Miami and speak with the people that have come here from there, they will tell you alot different than what you have been LED to believe! THIS is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA where we are (suppose to be) goverened by the US CONSTITUTION, perhaps you better read it and then read it again. People stand up NOW or else we will be in far worse shape than you EVER thought possible!
Too bad she never got to meet Stalin and Mao, she would have loved them too.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to making it up to fit their utopian fantasy.

Diane Watson…dumber than a doorknob…clear evidence that representative democracy often results in representatives representative of the people they represent!
Dear God, Watson is insane! My mother & grandmother were born & raised in Havana, Cuba. I visited every year during childhood. My last was in ‘59 after Castro’s revolution. Castro killed several cousins who were against his communism. All my maternal family had to flee Cuba with only the clothes they wore, to give up everything they had to live in FREEDOM! My grandmother being old, left last, after we paid money to the Mexican Gov’t. We knew first hand how BAD communist Cuba is…everything is rationed, every ounce of food, etc. They primarily use alternative health. I refuse Obama’s Healthcare!

Jojo, lack of human rights in China is far worse than in Cuba. But, we have to have Walmart and someone to cover our debt, don’t we? Lack of human rights in Saudi Arabia is worse than in Cuba. But, we have to have that oil, don’t we? Truth be known, we pick and choose which lack of human rights to ignore, and which human rights to complain about.
”
I disagree, human rights in Cuba are any better than those in China. Cuba consistently has among the lowest rankings in press freedom in the world.
And because we have China manufacture goods or we buy oil from Saudi Arabia does NOT mean that I praise their governments. All 3 are horrible states, with Communist Cuba being a virtual prison, Fascist China not much better but at least making progress for millions of Chinese. Saudi Arabia has human rights issues more for women than men because of Wahabbi Islam.
We should all work towards improving human rights, but Watson is just an idiot for praising Cuba because she is a fellow leftist like Castro claims to be.
There is NO Hope for America if stupid people keep voting brain-dead morons like this? It’s bad enough we have Barney Stank (I mean Frank), Nancy Pelosi, Harry Red (sorry, I mean Reid), Obama and other left-wing commie nutjobs.
America: Wake up before this great nation is turned into The Soviet Union…
If Castro’s Health Care System is so great, why then when Castro needed surgery did they need to bring someone in from Spain to do the surgery? This women has horse hockey for brains!
I am Cuban,and believe me when I tell you that this Congresswoman,Michael Moore
and all the Liberals are a Bunch of LIERS,if it was not because we the Cubans
in exile send everything they need in Cuba most of our family would be dead by now,
we even have to send bed sheets,aspirins,all kind of medicines,please go to
http://www.therealcuba.com and you will see that unlike Liberals I am telling you the truth.
America wake up,Cubans risk their lifes to get amay from that Socialist Hell that
they call Revolution and Obamas word is change but it will have the same impact here.
Carlos
The socialists TASTE like real socialists!
Chavez, Stalin, Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Castro. They are no different. They don’t care about the people. They just use leftist and anti-American rhetoric to appease leftists and oppress their people.
THey stay in power as thugs, killing/imprisoning all dissent.
They are no better than mob bosses that rule with murder and intimidation, they just quote Marx and leftists cheer them
Truly leftists are useful idiots.
Diane Watson…dumber than a doorknob…clear evidence that representative democracy often results in representatives representative of the people they represent! And yes she represents a district from CA.
Like the venerable and esteemed Barney Frank quipped, “What planet do you live on?”
Okay, just when I thought we’d reached the tipping point, I see an overwhelming (if not unanimous) outrage over this nut job’s comments. Seriously, the way things are going, I half expected to see comments in support of this sad sack.
Way to go America (at least the part of America who is awake). I hereby revise my projected timeline for the total demise of the nation to the end of 2010 (from my previous mid 2010 estimate).
Call me surprised, a liberal democrat congresswoman praising the communists. Obama and this idiot of a representative, along with the rest of the liberal democrats should drop all pretense and just admit that they are nothing but a pack of communists. This is NOT the Democrat Party of JFK and he is rolling over in his grave at the suggestions that obama is somehow a part of the Kennedy legacy. Like all communists, they know they cannot achieve any semblence of equality by bringing people up to a higher standard so they will follow the cuban model and place everyone but their own ruling elite into abject, third-world poverty. The only problem is that there are still a few of us they will have to kill in order to make that happen: I am willing to fight to the death to keep my freedom. We will soon see who is equally willing to die in order to deprive me of it.
Just HOW STUPID are you…????????
Please….you go there…I…we…will stay here…you PUTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Have finally stoped laughing. I find it amazing someone with this much power, and position can be so devoid of historical fact. First cha guevara did not start the revolution. Fidel Castro was always at the forefront. cha guevara was not even a Cuban. He was an Argentinian who had moved to Cuba because of the revolution. He was a marxist, and was hell bent of turning all of South America into a socialist utopia. I’m amazed when I see young girls carring around purses with guevare’s picture on it. It show’s me just how much history there being taught in school. You may have noticed I don’t capitalize cha guevara name. Let me tell you why. During the revolution any decent was smashed with an iron fist. This carried over to people who were not a threat to the new regime. But cha precieved they were. An account was given by a Cuban who lived close to the prison where a lot of the people were being held. He said each night you could hear the sounds of people screaming out from the torture. One night in particular he heard a man screaming out forgive them Lord they dont know what they are doing. the man, and those with him were Christians. guevara though Christians presented a threat to the marxist dream. The man said that night it was cha himself who administered the punishment. and that punishment was a bullet to the head after they were tortured. After the revolution cha thought he would rule along side Castro. What cha did’nt understand was that Fidel did’nt like parterships. cha wound up with a bullet for his efforts. Did you notice how fitting it was that ms Watson was addressing a Church. And did you notice the amens she was getting. Lincoln was so right “You can fool some of the people all the time.” Now you see how someone so ignorant of history can get voted into office.
Are you kidding me??? Crazy Town.
I know for a fact that the home depot needs another fifty illegals begging for work from whites. There is plenty of space on our sidewalks for illegal fruit sellers. We have plenty of seats in ER for kids with the common cold to get free care. Let’s take over the world, make everyone an American and they can stay where they are and pay taxes.
Where did she get her info on the Cuban revolution? What a jerk!!!! If ya don’t like this country got live in Cuba or some other socialist.communist country.
When it came to brutality and murder, Josef Stalin made Hitler look like an amateur. Mao, the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century, makes them both look like amateurs.
One thing they all had in common? They were all leftist dictators. For the uninformed, NAZI was an acronym for the German Socialist Party. There was nothing “right wing” about Hitler.
Oh and Obama advisor and environmental “czar” Van Jones was an admirer of Mao.
Well pack your sh it then – cya!!
Maybe this idiot can help the Cuban revolution by supplying them some TOILET PAPER. I hear they are running short of it..!!
She doesnt even know the real revolution, she stated Che got rid of the rich and then they found Castro, what a crock. This woman is stupid and ignorant.
Like others have said, what kind of an electorate keeps some one of this low calibre re elected. They all ought to be ashamed.
John D,
This site is too vast to respond to individuals, but your point is well taken. But China has existed for thousands of years…and you don’t hear any Republicans saying how wonderful things are there and how much we envy their leaders. In fact the only person I can remember waxing eloquently about them was the zero during the Olympics. He LOVED their railroads, factories, and harbors. Funny how poorly he does off telepromter. Nobody told him that China’s ports are owned and run by Dubia!!!!!!!
Welcome to “Reparations” by other means, suckers. You elected this fraud. Own up, and then let’s get cracking. There’s work to do, scores to settle, and an acceptable stasis to create. . . .
Another example that intelligence is not a requirement to hold political office.
Speaking of her getting re-elected, do you really think those that elect her see anything beyond the color of her skin? This has got to be one of the dumbest women I’ve ever heard speak in public – no, check that, one of the dumbest PERSONS I’ve ever heard speak. And it has ZERO to do with black and white – she’s just dumber than a dead fish.
She must have learned her history from the Cuban governmnent who lie to their people every day. This woman should be tried for
treason. A woman with this philosophy should not be living in this free country. Send her to Cuba so she can live like the residents
there and not like a tourist. If the health care program was so good there then why are there people risking their lives in the
ocean to leave and come to the US?
Why does that sycophant “Rep.” Watson swoon over thoughts of Uncle Fidel and his version of Paradise? Is it because her district in L.A. resembles Havana: hopeless inhabitants who are dependent cradle-to-grave on the Almighty State and her leaders for subsistence? Of course, like her mentor’s Kingdom, all troubles in Watson’s district are the results of that big, bad capitalist, imperialist, racist U.S. That’s all.
But to borrow from Orwell’s “1984” (banned by Fidel),
“Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery.”
And I might add….Cuba is a Workers’ Paradise.
Ironic that in Cuba, she would not have a job (or at least her current one). Or maybe she wants to be a dictator herself.
I’ll trade a 0.01% higher infant mortality rate here in the US over Cuba rather than living in a communist dictatorship, thank you very much. Not to mention living in a country where Cuban trained doctors are fleeing the island paradise in rickety boats to come to the US. There was an article in the San Francisco Chronicle a few weeks ago profiling one such doctor. The haters will say that they are merely greedy and want more money. Well, the Cuban doctor is making a living in the US as a nurse, and that is fine by him for now, rather than living under a repressive regime.
Is there not ONE intelligent, honest black man or woman in politics?
Well California — now you have evidence to speak out about this representative who is not truly reprsenting her people in a manner that is worthy of her being reelected. Stand up for the Constitution, speak out with the facts and replace her with someone who champions ALL people.
The true face of the Democratic Party 2009!!!!
“He (Castro) was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met!”
Can you believe a United States congress woman would be praising Fidel Castro’s health care system. What is happening to our government is staring to become alarming in every way possible. Come on tea party goers. Lets make Sept. 12 a day that starts the turn around….http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/
It it’s so great why don’t you get your butt on a fast boat head for Cuba, Moron!! I’ll even buy you a GPS so you don’t get lost and have to turn back to the USA. Good riddance.

Then, your family must be phony, because real Cuba citizen must not need bed sheets,aspirins,all kind of

to help your own cubans to do better, you should be killed by any First Class American rather sooner than later.
Because no matter you sucking Cubans is coward or selfish suckers, your coming to USA can only make USA sucker
like you to become the sucking loser of your own country.
Jojo, I think you meant “I disagree, human rights in Cuba are NOT any better than those in China. Cuba consistently has among the lowest rankings in press freedom in the world.”
But remember, press freedoms are not the only freedoms there are.
Now, I can visit Cuba (not spend money there per U.S. law, but even the one guy who tried to get prosecuted to test the law wasn’t) and not fear reprisals for bringing a female companion. But visiting Saudi Arabia?
And, my contention is that we are hypocrites to allow trade with China but not with Cuba. Total hypocrites. That doesn’t surprise me when money is involved. Heck we even have looked China’s forced abortion policy in the name of $$$$$. Yet, the same people want abortion criminalized here.
Is this woman for real? How stupid can she Be? It is a shame that this woman is in the US government, how ignorant this person is !!! No wonder our government is all going down !!!
This crazy person loves communism, is a racist, hates the Minutemen and is a 9-11 truther – what the hell is our Congress coming to……………

Why you need a government to manage property for your military? So that you can have the people can understand
your stupid bad ugly evil civilians better to service all of you. Because military does not service you,
military gives you order, no matter you are civilians or public workers, when military order, you must follow,
no flixibility. This is why you need to have a group of people who love military and understand the civilians
sick weak wicked to service both side. Because military can have the skill and eyes to know how to kill,
therefore, they can kill any manager who lies, so that to make sure the public can be well serviced. Because
the government workers must service the public Free of Charge, the same time can risk their life if lies,
therefore, you can have the best integrity mankind team to service in your government to make your nation the best Free
Country. You have no integrity mankind willing to work in your government to service you Free of Charge, you must
have no government in any way. You rather just follow your military order to do whatever they order to you to
get a free life instead of slaved by your evilest politicians gang to force to work for money pay
tax to feed your evilest selfish heartless politicians liars gang to lie down.
There is truth in some comments here that relate to black Democrats’ historical admiration for Leninism-Marxism. Diane Watson is not an isolated case. Former Congressman Ron Delums was an open admirer and frequent visitor to Fidel Castro. The Congressional Black Caucus (all leftist Democrats) visited Cuba earlier this year and acted as if they had returned from Shangrila. The noted black author Alice Walker was recently interviewed by C-SPAN. Ms. Walker, a prosperous resident of California, couldn’t stop praising Castro as some kind of role model for her people. I suspect these deluded folks lie not only to us, but also to themselves. Do they really want true racial equality—or racial revenge? In a Marxist state, do they believe they would serve as commissars, ruling members of the “Inner Party”? Or just continue on as “useful idiots”? In any case, their bizarre behavior will, in the long run, do black Americans no good whatsoever.
[my contention is that we are hypocrites to allow trade with China but not with Cuba. Total hypocrites]
You need to know “hypocrites” is less evil than Shameless, “hypocrites” does not destroy your nation, shameless
is certainly destroying your nation, because shameless made your nation how low dare not say no, your nation
must falling under ground zero.
Your government should not trade with China, like not trade with Cuba. Because not to trade with Cuba is
a right thing to do, trade with China is your government’s heavy weighted crime.
The woman is an idiot. Castro has butchered over 1 million of his own people. People average $9 a month there. There is no industry, no innovation, no growth, no hope and no future, but this dumb bitch wants to rave about how great the health care system is. The embecile should move there if she feels that strongly about the Cuban healthcare system. And I can assure you what she saw was not the real health care system in action.
This just continues what the democrats of today are all about; remember this trip?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/04/08/AR2009040803769.html
(btw, how is the “Congressional Black Caucus” getting us past the era of racism? seems more like they don’t want to let it go – because then they can’t play the victim)
Fidel Castro needs to be alerted that your ass kisser not your friend, worse than your enemy. You must not allow
any your ass kisser to get the path or stick to contact with your power ring.
Please oh please Fox News…put this idiot’s rants up for all the world to see.
This is amazing that this woman can even function, as damn dumb as she is.
[Cheney: Obama Team Should Be Debriefing CIA Interrogators, Not Investigating Them]
If you indeed care your nation security, you need to seal your border, ban all import/export, ban any commerical
and civilian traffice on the air or sea instead of wasting your tax payers money to fund CIA to
committed the crimes like liars thieve treasons out of your own country. Unless your CIA only mission is to
kill any foreign government’s government workers or any foreign rich and famous suckers, otherwise, your CIA
can only do harm to your nation instead of secure anyone, those CIA suckers cannot even secure their own life
how dare you expect anyone of them can do any secure to your nation.
The Dome of the Rock is the “Abomination of Desolation” according to the Book of Revelations, and Obama is a false president (prophet). The national news media calls the messiah of this (Obama) nation (U.S.A.); pronounced the same way in English, amazing, this Muslim (Obama) is destroying by his ways.
What more do you want for proof? Do you really think the Lord our God does not warn his children of the end times and the eminent dangers that the world and the U.S. are in. The President (Obama) proclaims, “Shut up and get out of my way”; I say, get out and shut up, traitor, Judas.
Fools, this is my open and transparent policy I promised you, Obama said.
Obama continues to refuse to provide the nation with school records, passports, college theses, law school records, law firm clients, medical records, Illinois State Senate files, and other documents about his record:
I demand Obama’s lockup until he gives proof of citizenship to be the president according to the United States Constitution, and not that of an Indonesian expatriate, who is automatically disqualified.
Here is something for you to chew on Rep. Watson: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, it’s inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” —Winston Churchill
As an American of Cuban descent ( http://www.therealcuba.com ) with great love for freedom and *American Revolutionary* ideals, I cannot deplore this woman’s comments with adequate intensity in this forum, but I will try to elaborate on the real situation there to anyone willing to read my words. Please take a moment to hear what I have to say, and spread the word to your friends and loved ones as you see fit.
My family escaped Cuba in 1959 after the coup and luckily made it to Miami. But, this was not before my father’s cousin, then 16 years old and full of life, was kidnapped in Holguin for being publicly vocal about the communist atrocities that were taking place all around him. This included people rounded up and shot along walls, people run out of their homes by armed thugs, women beaten and raped by the so-called liberators. His bloody body turned up on the family’s doorstep six months later – covered in scars from extreme torture. Not only was he tortured, he had been shot in the throat and left to choke on his own blood in the light of dawn. Tell me – how is that for health care, Diane?
This was the final straw for them; even the house having been shot full of holes by automatic gunfire on repeat occasions by the thugs looking for my grandfather, making my grandmother and her children dive to the floor, was not enough to shake them at first. For their own mortal safety, they fled. My grandparents have passed now – they came here and worked hard and lived by simple means in rough neighborhoods of Miami and Orlando. They were sad for those left behind, yet happy to have a chance at prosperity – a chance for life without the visceral subjugation of communism.
Diane has been there, sure, but she did not the unvarnished true Cuba. She was shown the same useful facade which all the rich Americans and Europeans get to see on their communism-enriching tourist trips to the island. You see Danny Glover, Kevin Spacey, Harry Belafonte and many others palling around with Castro and Chavez in recent years as if they were Hollywood celebrities themselves. How woefully ignorant; how truly sickening.
It is not for the sake of convenience or an ideologically perverted and communist-espoused version of materialism that people have risked their lives and the lives of their loved ones to escape the current Cuban regime for five decades.
Fidel Castro and Che Guevara murdered and stole their way into power. There is no romantic altruism behind their so-called struggle; the Castro brothers intend to keep everyone under their thumbs (and under the thumbs of their hand picked successors – there is no pretense of democracy in modern Cuba and there will never be until the Counter-Revolution). Any concentration of power into the hands of the few, elite members of society is a serious concern to any person living in the Free World, and should be treated with extreme suspicion.
The fact that Cuba is now in ruins is a testament to the failures of Stalinist agriculture policies and the expansive oppression visited upon the Cuban people. Apologists for these most vicious assassins say that the United States is to blame, yet every other country in the world has normal trade relations with Cuba – Canada, Mexico, all the countries in Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia… If their economy had the proper means to trade with, they would not have a rusting, crumbling relic of the 1950s as a home. The fact is, the Castro brothers and their cronies *do not want* to shake up the status quo for fear that they would empower the people to the point of being able to make choices about their own destinies, which is how all totalitarian schemes have played out through history. How can a man take up arms against an oppressor if he is living hand to mouth? This is a great question for the ages, one worthy of reflection in our own times.
Speaking of questions well worth pondering … For all the so-called leftists (let’s call a spade a spade and say ‘communist apologist’ instead) across the Western world who may read this, let me ask… How do you think communist or truly socialist systems manage to redistribute wealth? How do you dismantle the bourgeois so that your wannabe proletariat can triumph? How do you take everyone’s personal belongings and suddenly render them as property of the state? How do you get people to cast aside their notions of success or excellence and trade them in for a copasetic malaise?
The answer? Through violence! Those of you who often consider yourself proponents of gun control, be careful what you wish for. You can’t make people leave their big fancy houses and give everything they’ve worked for to the state by being nice. If you consider yourself anti-war and pro gun control, you should have a hard time reconciling these ideas with the idea of a Marxist/Stalininst/Maoist/Torturist/Rapist/Opportunist takeover of the Free World. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with wanting to share what you have with total strangers – as long as you are doing it willfully.
Consider the words of Chairman Mao: “Political power grows from the barrel of a gun.” — Spoken like a true mass murderer.
I could go on but I will stop here for the sake of brevity in an online forum. I sincerely implore every person who reads this comment to go to http://www.therealcuba.com and get an idea for themselves, in pictures, about how ordinary Cubans live as a result of 50 years of bloody dictatorship.
VIVA CUBA LIBRE!
I do not understand how anyone elected to the United States Congress can speak out in favor of a Communist dictatorship. The two systems have nothing in common, and if one has sworn to uphold the US Constitution, how can that person praise a government that goes against everything that Constitution stands for?
By the way, I live in Spain, and I know many people who have taken cheapo vacations to Cuban resort hotels at Playa Varadero (which native Cubans, except the hired help, aren’t allowed to stay at). They all say that the place is a complete disaster, that outside the hotel complexes everything is crap, and they can’t believe the Cuban people can stand it. The urban legend – I don’t know if it’s true – says that if you want to be a nice Spaniard, buy stuff like cigarette lighters, Band-Aids, aspirin, ballpoint pens, toothpaste, and other cheap throwaway products before you leave, and give them to the Cuban people you meet. They’ll appreciate it because such stuff is hard to get in Cuba.
I also know a few old radical hippies who still believe in the Revolution. Pretty soon they’re going to be dead, since they all spend most of their time drinking and smoking at the bar down on the corner. Then there’ll be no one left but a few misguided Americans and a few traitorous Brits to worship Fidel.
she should be forced to live there for a year like our brothers and sisters are imprisoned to. i was there had chest pain and my cousin who is the chief of the cardiology dept and professor to students from all over the world had to use a baby monitor because his eco machine had been broken for 4 months and the hospital had not replaced it. this … Read Morevideo is an insult to cubans and our cause. to say that the cubans of wealth came to this country and fled lady you are so far removed from the truth of why families fled. we should force all these politicians that praise fidel to live there with all the same limitations that cubans have endured everyday.

Whenever a Dem/lib spews forth crap like this, you barely hear a peep out of the liberal media and Obama supporters. 99% of commentors here believe that this woman is a commie with a D attatched to her name. Hey you spineless libs, try blaming this loonytoon Diane Watson on President Bush. Libs are such a nuisance to our great nation. How on earth did they gain so much power???
Rep. Diane Watson is full of it. She has no idea about the necessities of the Cubans or the real situation of Cuba’s health care system .She is another fellow traveler “enthusiast” of the longest dictatorship in the world. 48 hrs in Havana as a guess of the communist dictator does not make her an expert in Cuba’s health care. I really wish, than in any given time, that she gets sick she will be sent to Cuba to be treated like the regular Cubans do. Clue: Most of the time you can’t find aspirins in Cuba’s pharmacies. Cubans get their medications from families, and friends or friends of the family from US or other foreign countries.
Stupid C*U*N*T!!!
Your USA is certainly falling into hells, if you don’t have guts to reform.
I suggest you:
1. to seal your border immediately.
2. Only Single man can join in your military. Single man include not ever married, widower, divorced. Military
have complete absolute control your entire national land and natural resource.
3. All government workers must be pure virgin female. They work for your military to service your public
Free of Charge, fed by your military.
4. Any military member falls in love with any government worker, both of them need to quit from the job and .
become civilian couple. If they divorced or any one of them become widow or widower, and they have no kid,
then, they can back to their militry or government to work again.
You have to seal your border in order to secure your military life, you have to have your military life secured
then you can have your national security. You cannot allow your sucking evilest politicians lairs to eat
whatever they want to eat, sink whatever the lowest, then force your military to give life to pay your sucking
evilest politicians lies like that happening in front of your eyes. You need to make all your sucking evilest
pliticians die for their crimes instead of forcing your military to die for your sucking evilest politicians’s crimes.
This woman is remarkable. She is thoroughly convinced conservative Americans are racists looking to destroy Obama and her entire race, and she is likewise convinced Castro is practically a saint. Hum. These black scholars join people like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams and Larry Elder and thousands of others to proclaim with reason and facts the exact opposite of what this insane woman asserts: conservative Americans are our salvation, and Castro is a murderer.
http://allanerickson.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/two-black-scholars-speak-to-our-times/
Dear RNC, Please use this pathetic excuse of an American (Diane Watson) in an upcoming TV commercial. I will gladly send you my hard earned money to reveal to the American people just how insane Dems can be.
Watson’s black socialist ideology is illustrative of the same culture that re-elected a convicted cocaine user/dealer as mayor of Washington, D.C. It is though these people defend crime and socialist marxist control so long as the crime and control advances entitlements and dependancy that governments like Cuba and leaders like a narcissistic Obama provide. They view goverment as the mother’s nipple from which all nourishment comes. The Democrat Party teaches them dependancy and reliance by dolling out the freebies and attribution of tax on others who work for a living to subsidize them. Watson is the bottom of the barrel as far as American citizens are concerned.

Less evil than your government view your the people to be slaved worse than any USA white slaved the black. Because
Black slaved by white got free house and daily needs to get a good night sleep, your sucking American people
paid your government got slaved by your government.
Why did the useful idiot “Hope and Change” drones give such a treasonous government? If we had any real Americans in positions of authority, they would call for her resignation, not cheer her when she touts a communist regime.
Instead, the Bolshevik Obama and his totalitarian gangsters are hell bent on destroying the lawful and rightful government in Honduras simply because they invoked their constitution to expel a Castro/Chavez wannabee and preserve their republic. Obama and his sick band of subversive traitors are actively working in the shadows to take away what freedoms we still enjoy before the majority of us realize we have lost our constitutional rights. Just look at the secret bill that was exposed today to give him the power to shut down our internet; thus removing one of the last unbiased news sources. That is called “Silencing the opposition”. So long 1st amendment! These people hold our constitution in total contempt and hate that it gets in the way of their diabolical plan to steal our country.
Obama should be impeached and deported to Kenya if it is ever proven that he was born there.
“From tiny ACORNs mighty Marxists grow.”
This is the kind of politician you get when most of your constituency is too stupid to get out of the rain.
If the Cuban system is so good why would hordes of Cuban’s risk life and limb to leave that county and flee to the us on man man “floating” crafts. This woman is absolutely nuts…I simply can’t believe what I heard….It’s getting harder and harder to be patriotic…I used to love America…
292 comments trashing this pathetic excuse for an American. Ms. Watson, I hope you visit this wepsite and see how much you are loved and appreciated, you Obama loving, leftist commie!! Please do America a BIG favor and move your arrogant black *ss to Cuba.
[She is such a pig, send her to Cuba. She does not belong in America if she truly believes her own BS.]
Then, you must worse than pig. Because pig does not look down any BS
Fidel gets his medical care in Spain. Google it.
I didn’t see Ted “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy, Robert “KKK” Byrd, or Chris “Sweet Deal” Dodd go to Cuba, Canada or Great Britain for their healt care. The U.S. has a 5-year recovery rate of 100%, Canada at 95%, Great Britain at 77%. Dodd went with the odds.
Watson should show us that bill for her medical care in Cuba. Don’t hold your breath. Liberals can talk the talk, but never walk the walk.
[If we had any real Americans in positions of authority, they would call for her resignation, not cheer her
when she touts a communist regime.]
If you have real Americans in positions of authority, they should do the duty you kill your US liar President
Bill Clinton to save your ears and eyes from seeing your current sucking lies in front of you.
Why is it that “progressives” are head over heels in love with the Cuban dictator? They turn a blind eye to the repression and the secret police in Cuba but rail against the same systems when they are run by right wingers? This woman is beyond a moron. What a disgrace for someone like this to play the race card and be elected. Wow – just an amazing story – so telling about the American Left.
[I didn’t see Ted “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy, Robert “KKK” Byrd, or Chris “Sweet Deal” Dodd go to Cuba,
Canada or Great Britain for their healt care.]
That how you need to have all your doctor hospital to care all your people free of charge, so that they don’t
have the room to make money out of your sick weak wicked evilest politicians liars to make all phony to take over their seats
to fool you the people how long life your sucking old thieve can occupy your Congress seats.
Please play this clip on the news as much as possible. Maybe America will wake up. How did this person get elected. Mind boggling.
[They turn a blind eye to the repression and the secret police in Cuba but rail against the same systems when
they are run by right wingers?]
Because you can have all your right to carry your fire arms to deal with secret police if you have guts to choose
to do like that, you have no way to get your freedom to do your righteous duty to refuse to pay the tax to
corrupt your sucking US evilest politicians gang.
Such brilliant words…and she’s not even a wise Latina!
Who in their right mind would vote this traitor back in office next election! WHO!!!
It is really hard to watch these idiots in office anymore!
If Cuba looks like you…the communist bloody murder who killed millions of people, you are a communist and you need to get the heck out of this government, your cooked lady…Because your a communit like your brother Obama.
Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it. Face it we have a quiet revolution taking place, from the inside. Unelected czars (Russian for Caesar) taking control of every aspect of American life. What you drive, what you hear, how you live and how you’ll die before it’s over. Best advice for healthful living: Clean House…….. Senate also. Vote ‘em out 2010!!!!
Good Night! Where do they keep digging these idiots up? It is scary…Maxine Waters..Babs Boxner, Queen of Botox Peolosi, and the list goes on. I have to say there are a lot of intelligent women, but the ones that we keep hear shooting of their mouths, put our gender to shame. No wonder we are called air heads. Just the hell up!
Well, we’re starting to find the communists.
Is this what you want for your country???? The liberals for YEARS have brainwashed our school and college children with watered down and embellished history and false beliefs. The American people care more about their next plasma tv purchase than they do about raising their children in the truth. My gosh WAKE up fellow Americans before it is too late! The Cubans are wiping their a s s e s with newspaper because of a tolet paper shortage—sounds like utopia hey?
correction: The Cubans are wiping their a s s e s with newspaper because of a toilet paper shortage—sounds like utopia hey?
I could have told you 40 years ago this is what Affirmative action would produce!
Most BLACK POLS/HACKS in the MARXIST STATES of OBAMALAND profess their gratitude for two-bit punk dictators like COMMANDANTE FIDEL + ‘FATTY’ CHAVEZ!!! Why don’t you axsk[ebonics spellung] if FIDEL has space for you in the CUBANO PARADISO waiting in lines for toilet paper, butter, rice, and electricity??? See if MAXINE WATERS can get a job for her husband as ambassador like he did under Pres. D^CKHEAD CLINTON???!!! Maybe youse could be appointed a CZAR by the WORTHLESS FLY-SWATTER-n-CHIEF’the OBAMA’in charge of BLACK PSEUDO-ANGST and DISCRIMINATION???!!! Ha.
Democrat president John F Kennedy is turning over in his grave as we watch this clip! He knew that Castro was an evil dictator and plotted to assassinate him. What the Hel has happened to the Democrat party????????????????????????????????????????? Vote all of these liberal loonies out!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve known many people who have left Cuba for political reason but kept in contact with their former doctors on the island. The medical advice handed out by these doctors is some of the most ridiculous I have ever heard. They are incompetent because of the inadequate education they have received, not because of a lack of resources. Unless you are in an elite specialty such as neurosurgery, “doctors” are set loose in neighborhood clinics after about 2 years of study. What’s a little malpractice? It’s not as if the citizenry has a right to sue doctors for malpractice.
First, get your history right before you speak to an intelligent group of people about Cuba’s history. Castro was in Cuba way before Che had any plans of socialism on the island. Having health care for all is needed only because the country doesn’t have any food to eat. You might have a healthy heart in Cuba, but what Cubans need are healthy minds. Minds free to think and have a democratic say in what they think and how they feel. Have the freedom to speak there mind, about any subject they want. Open up internet access to the whole country so the young people could see what is outside of there little island. And then….if they want to stay in Cuba they have that choice, but let the of that country experience what is on the outside…….
This is the kind of people in charge now. Now remember they know whats best for you so sit down and shut up! If you don’t think like them they have a nice re-education camp to go to.Who votes for these IDIOTS?
Blame Bush, play the race card yadda yadda…
Maybe she should go to Cuba and take some toilet tissue to the masses there…I hear they are rationing it.
I suggest that we all take up a collection and send her to Cuba with a one-way ticket. Maybe she can learn first hand how it is to live without electricity, air conditioning and an Escalade. Socialists are real quick to suggest that life is better on the other side, but they are the first ones to NOT make the move. I love them.
Hey maybe I could win an election in my wonderful Cuba. Oh what do you mean that they do not have elections in that wonderful regime.
Are you sure they won’t elect stupid democrat folk like me in Cuba?
TO the murdering tyrant Fidel and his murdering tyrant brother, who are decended from the murdering Spanards who killed millions of native people throughout South America, including Cuba, this woman is the dictionary definition of the term “USEFUL IDIOT” though is this case it demeans the word “idiot”.
They aren’t trying to hide it anymore….. Democrats ARE Communists
There must be a mistake in the spooling of all that newsfilm showing people LEAVING Cuba for the US any way they can. Perhaps they run it backwards, right, Congressperson Dingbat.
The Congresswoman failed to point out one very important thing. In Cuba, people who look like her are kept from all key positions. I’m certain no one told her that all those within the inner circle of the Castro brothers are white. Not one of the people who wields real power in Cuba is black.
When Fidel found Che baby getting a litle too popular for his liking, Fidel sent him off to foment revolution in South America, then droped a dime, maybe to US. Bye Che.
Dick Tuck,
Great point. The “white” Spaniards like Castro and Raul rule while the black and mixed race Cubans work the fields and struggle to survive.
Gee, that just might remind the congresswoman of the powerful white massa and her own black ancestors of the old south who worked the fields and struggled to survive.
I wonder if she knows the Democrat Party of which she is a member supported slavery, established the KKK as its terrorist arm, and instituted segregation in the south.
Above poster Dee, IU have been saying this since the beginning of the elections, people want to hide and sugar coat with words what the new democrat party and obama are and what they are doing, IT IS REAL CLEAR! ad all the pieces togther, The democrat party has become the New SOCIALIST COMMUNIST LIBERAL PARTY! PERIOD. And their goal is to Destroy America from within, But they see it as Change, to a communist style government. But to True Americans it is The destruction of America from within, no sugar coating here. The Democrat party is GONE! there may be a few good Democrats left but their party has been over-run By the Communist Socialist Machine Plain and simple and alot of Dems do not see this as the are being partisan and want to support their leader. BUT make NO Doubt, this is an attack from within to destroy America, maybe this is why in the bible we are not really around or in any position to help Israel, I don’t know. BUT the people that elect these Communist soft spoken LIARS! that make their intentions clear but in a NICE flowerier way, NEED TO WAKE UP no matter what party they think they are in, these people in the obama administration and the New Liberal Socialist Communist Party are here to destroy America, period. Now all the Muslims have to do is add in on it and poof we are gone. 2010 had better be a TOTAL Republican win or it’s over. If the republicans don’t when TOTALLY COMPLETELY overall this 2010, I would submit, the Rapture will happen after 2010, there is no way America can survive 4 years of total domination of this Communist people coming out of the closet to show their true colors.
She appears to be another victim of the officially atheistic American public school system where neither critical thinking is taught or Americanist ideals. How sad a sitting member of congress can heap praise on a cold-blooded murderer who seized illegitimate power and held on to it through terror. Castro took an island paradise and turned it into an impoverished country where the people live in conditions unfit for human habitation. No one’s trying to get into Cuba, only out.
Its amazing how Cuba supposedly can have the most lavish of health care but can’t produce enough toilet paper.
Would the congresswoman have such lavish praise for Castro had she been forced to use corn cobs or magazine pages during her visit to the people’s paradise.
I wonder if this airhead is aware of the fact that Viva Fidel, after the “glorious revolution” was shooting 200 hundred people at a time in a sports stadium in Havana. At first it was only “a few diehard opponents of the new government” but it went on and on, to the point his even his precious liberal followers in the US timidly tugged on his sleeve and asked him to slow down, or at least not do it in such a public place.
All of this is in the najor newspaper morgues, I’ll bet even the New York Times Democrat hasn’t “purged” their records yet. No doubt this “congressperson moron” has a “community acttivist” explanation for all this but it would be so much b……t.
All communists know one thing: the only thing that matters is force. Come and get me!
Great comments here on this…
“Spoken like a true Communist”
“Have ALL Obama’s communist friends decided to come out of the closet at the same time?”
“They aren’t trying to hide it anymore….. Democrats ARE Communists”
Wonder how much Soros money and Acorn thug labor went into getting this waste of Oxygen elected?
Wait! Wait! Is Watson calling OhBummer a fat old *ussy blabbermouth “who looks like her”?
Dick Tuck,
Speaking of airheads. Members of a congressional delegation returned from Cuba with only the most lavish praise for plantation massa Castro. Anyway, one idiotic congresswoman gushed how the people of Cuba lived better than her own constituents.
Eh, Madame Useful Idiot, that doesn’t say much for you does it? Dahhhhhhhhhh.
Maybe your constituents should start voting Republican since Democrats like you aren’t doing them much good.
I’m so glad that someone clarified that this nut job is from L.A. and not Louisiana.
We certainly have our share of crazies here but this delusional Obamanista takes the
cake. Ah, L.A. living up to your motto “Land of fruits and nuts”.
THE PART WE DON’T UNDERSTAND IS…
WHEN DID COMMUNISM AND ISLAM DOGMA *M-E-R-G-E* ??
AREN’T THEY MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE DOGMAS???
She’s fat. She’s Black. She’s ignorant. And she was elected by people who are (look) just like her. She’ll never be a Senator (that’s the next level up. This is as far as this cow will go. Consider who elected her and leave it at that. In her wet dreams she imagines she she’s Sheila Jackson Lee.
JUST SAY mooooo!!!
Another Worshiper of Obama, that our President wishes would just shut up and go away.
Let us send these losers a message in 2010 they will NEVER forget.
I cannot believe the lies this woman is telling everyone. My aunt died at the hands of the Castro healthcare. She had an operable brain tumor but because she was 57 years old they refused her any surgery. She died a horrible death full of pain, she lost her sight and the government moved in a government appointed caretaker who took over the home after she died.
I am sure the tour she was taken on was a government only medical facility for propaganda purposes. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE REGULAR FOLKS HAVE. I don’t claim to know her struggles but DO NOT CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND THE PAIN AND HORROR EXILE CUBANS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE GONE THROUGH. Why else would Cuban risk thee sea voyage from hell to get to the US?
If she likes it so much in Cuba she should get the hell out of here and move there. It is politicians like this that caused me to leave the Democratic Party.
Che kicked out the wealthy, and then found a lawyer named Fidel to to run the country?
You see, this is why the ignorant should learn to keep their mouths shut. Who elected this gem?
The Cuban people HATE the Castros and can’t wait for both of to pass on to their final “reward”. They love Americans. When the last Castro is DEAD there will be a public reckoning with the bureaucracy and secret police which won’t be pretty, but probably necessary. Libslime democrats here will pray some halfwitted offspring of Viva Fidel will turn up to continue the “revolution,” but there ain’t any. There will be an election. The libslime will pray some socialist pig gets elected in a tank job and send deaf, dumb, and blind Carter to put a stamp on it. None of it will work. The “worker’s paradise” wil finally become a decent place for the Cuban people. This fat cow of a congressperson will HATE it.
I would further remind the fat congressperson Obot that Viva Fidel’s DAUGHTER fled the country. No doubt she couldn’t stand life in paradise.
Life in Cuba can’t be that good. I ought to know…Cubans come
in daily to obtain a DL or ID from our offices.
God Save America.
We look to the left we see tyranny and slavery, we look to the right we see anarchy and chaos. Total government to the left, no government to the right. When we walk between the extremes we are free. Our founding Fathers knew this and set us on the middle road. My fellow Americans what road will you choose? As for me, I’m not a Republican or a Democrat – my allegiance is to the CONSTITUTION which defined the middle road. Long may it endure!
As a young person, I understood how this person got elected. Young Americans are the mob…feed them what they want to hear and you are a shoe-in. Most over 18 and under 30 citizens in the county haven’t thought for themselves since they cried for the mother’s teets…and even then, they didn’t understand why they were crying. Let’s face it…my generation is spoiled, coddled, undisciplined, and more worried about what others think than what is really important. I hate my generation…you all can see the result of following the masses…ignorance with an audience will be the downfall of our great country. Let’s get a strong work ethic back and conservative financial practices. It’s the only way out of the mess we are in.
Why is it that congressvoids like this one, who MUST go 300 pounds on the hoof, are ALWAYS whining about “starvation” in their districts? No food shortage in DC, Bessie, EH?
An aquaintance of mine bragged about how inexpensive health care is in her country.
She mentioned how the US should have free health care for everyone. She told me she never gets sick and doesn’t need to see a doctor, but she did have an appendectomy.
She went on explaining how inexpensive it was and pulled her shirt up and pants down
slightly to show me the scar. All I saw was pink scar tissue resembling
a pair of lips. It was the most grotesque scar I had ever seen. “You get what you
pay for”…remember this old adage!
Watson has a leadership role in the Progressive Caucus, which includes every so-called progressive, socialist, crypto-communist and moonbat elected to Congress. These remarks by Watson are par for the course. They love the idea of revolution and annihilating private enterprise and the wealthy. They are the enemies of this country, not its liberators.
Wonder why those slimeballs in the “conventional media” aren’t all over this one they way they jumped on Governor Palin. Guess being a stupid dummycrat in public is OK with them.
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE THE PHUCK ALL THE COMMIES CAME FROM.
THESE COMMIES HAVE COME OUT FROM UNDER THE ROCKS LIKE COCKROACHES AND ARE GOING TO TRY TO TAKE US OVER.
PEOPLE: WE ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN OBAMA AND HIS COMMIES. IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE GOD-HATING, AMERICA-HATING LEACHES.
DO NOT BE AFRAID AND QUESTION WITH BOLDNESS. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO YOUR COUNTRY.
anybody read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. We’re living it baby! Time for all hard working successful people to head to the hills and start our own community. For the first time in my life, which isn’t more than 3 decades, I feel completely frustrated, powerless, and that I have two options: 1. I have to work twice as hard so that I can support all the *ssclowns living off the gov’t teet. 2: I give up and join the masses. Well, if pride is a sin, I must be a huge sinner. We need to take pride in supporting for ourselves, realize others will have more, but always strive to achieve better…This is AMERICA! (or at least used to be)
Maybe she can get to the bottom of the toiet paper shortage in Cuba.
I hope that this stupid woman goes to Cuba when she needs first rate treatment of any kind.
Brain dead like her can’t even see the reality;
when the Rich-n-famous and who’s who of politicians from around the globe come to USA for treatment even though many of them have the STATE-OF-ART Government run medicine at home!
Whoever posted “She’d never last a week in Cuba” is spot on. Can you just imagine
her not getting her way and pitching a fit?
My guess: In Cuba for this *unt, one of two things would happen. She has to eat less because she is only given five, 1 ply squares of TP a day, or two, she get eaten by all the starving kids who can’t tell whether she is a pig or a human.
Diane Watson is plain and simply a Communist – and a dumb one at that.
This a very sad time we live in. This trader that should go live in Cuba and then tell us how good it is(NOT)!!!
This makes me sick !!! HOW DUMB IS THIS LADY!!!!! WOW!!!
This country is near civil war. Traders like this hunk should be put on a raft and sent to Cuba. Good luck with the sharks!!! We CAN ONLY HOPE!!!!
WAKE UP USA!!! WAKE UP!!!! OBAMA AND THE REST WILL HAVE US AS PAWNS SOON!!!
People is LA are bitter.
This woman is no different than most here…
Its not just the blacks that are painfully bitter here…
a very strong hate rests just beneath the golden California tan here…
really have to watch yourself…at least vampires have a fear of the sun…
Los Angeles people fear nothing but being alone…even if their alone because their right…
What in the heck has happened to us here in L.A., man we must be a bunch of idiots for this crazy congresswoman.
Wake up ignorant lady, people are afraid of castro, if they disagree with him they get put in jail! You’re a STUPID IDIOT, and I hope you NEVER get re-elected!!!
I’m Cuban. This is a typical extreme left with communist ideologies.
She needs to spend some time in a Cuban hospital to see what Cuba is really like!

The Real Mystery….
They merged because they are both anti-Christian, anti-American ideologies. Obama is only the forerunner. The way is being paved for the little horn to come.
Glad you people finally decided to get upset about commie traitors. I guess you haven’t heard that the “Congressional Black Caucus” goes down to Cuba pretty regularly to back slap with Fidel and Raul and to get their marching orders for revolutionizing the USA. Do you know about the situation in our universities yet? America is well on the way to a communist revolution within 20 years.
This is what all the “good god fearing folks in the US” should be organizing tea parties about. You need to cut the tree DOWN – not just saw some branches off of it.
And you might want to start realizing that the communists have been radicalizing the blacks in this country for about 100 years now. Blacks in this country are 99 percent communist or communist sympathizing right now today. And they aren’t so much enamoured of MLK’s non-violent resistence philosophy today as they used to be. They are being radicalized and moved toward violence. Both by communists and by Muslims.
Remember the black woman shrieking the night Obama won the election…”I won’t have to pay my mortgage!!…I won’t have to pay for gasoline!!”. At the time I thought she was a nutjob, but I now think she just let the cat out of the bag about a year early. What is wrong with the Democratic Party? Can’t you police yourselves? You are pathetic!!! JFK would have dragged chubby Teddy behind the woodshed and kicked his ever lovin @ss if he’d lived. Can anyone in the Democratic Party stand up and give JFK’s innaugeral address with a straight face since Liebermann got kicked out of the party? Wake up, Democrats!!!
She appears to be the product of the wonderful education provided in our country’s public schools and many overly liberally biased colleges.
We no longer teach our children meaningful history, or it is taught through the revisionist lens of Political Correctness.
Our journalists have failed us. Too many fail to perform research with due diligence (if they research at all), and often omit the relevant past and the facts in covering current events. Too many serve a useless pablum of “shock” and “feel-good” stories and call it “news”.
As a result too many of our people, including a number of our leaders, are history deficient.
They haven’t learned the lessons of the past and are unable to understand when real economic, societal, political, or military danger is at the door.
The world is not generally a place full of fluffy puppies and nice people.
Castro’s use of military and political power does indeed reveal he was one of the “brightest leaders”. But, “bright” does NOT equate to “good”. Castro was also ruthless and a master manipulator, responsible for the deaths and incarceration of many of “his” people…usually “guilty” of nothing more than political dissent.
I’m Cuban and I think this woman has no idea what the hec she’s talking about.
Congressman Watson, how about spending some time in a REAL Cuban hospital and
then let’s see what you have to say about the evil you are glorifying?
http://www.therealcuba.com/Page10.htm
This lady is crazy and so are the idiots in her district that elected her!
Viva La’ Revolution!
Has anyone in this country considered the broad consequences for the WORLD when the United States is destroyed? What of Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan, for starters? Who will defend Europe and Canada? What will become of Western Judeo-Christian civilization? Does anyone believe that anything other than chaos, anarchy and world war will result when the world’s lone superpower and force for restraint and control in the world is taken down?
Folks, I don’t care what the jealous and envious evildoers around the world say about us. It is the US that is the lighthouse of the world. We impose the Geneva Conventions for civilized warfare, we impose human rights issues, we impose standards for helping poor people and the dispossessed, we drive the anti-pollution and conservation movement. Other countries in this world are held in check from their true tendencies toward barbarity by the light that we used to shine with our influence in the world.
China is still a communist dictatorship. Russia is just as bad in spirit as the Soviet Union, and could be communist again. When the US becomes communist, it will lead to the permanent and everlasting ruin of the world for at least 500 years.
..COMO SE DICE CRETINA EN iNGLES?
Go back up the list and consider this posters comment:
THE REAL MYSTERY… August 28th, 2009 – 10:41 pm
He is absolutely, one hundred percent correct. The merging of Islam and Marxism is underway in the West. What does it mean? People cannot afford to be ignorant any longer. See what is happening in Europe. See what a nightmare Britain is turning into. Check out the world around you. Open your eyes, resist those who claim to be your “liberators” but only bring slavery and death.
…LA CRETINA ES PRODUCTO DE LA DEMOSAGRACIA. ESCUCHEN Y NO SE DEJEN SEDUCIR POR LOS COMUNISTAS/FASCITAS. WAKE UP ! ESCUCHEN:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgFJ0mqmkC0
This woman can’t even do a simple computer search on Castro/Che. How pathetic.
I have no doubt she actually did think he was brilliant. Even a nightlight looks bright when compared to a dimwit.
I’ve never seen such a thing in the USA before, where Communists are creeping out of the woodwork like this. They used to be ashamed to show their faces, now they stand up straight, puff up their chest and call us decent Americans “racists”. What nerve. Perhaps the Red Scare wasn’t just propaganda after all, as the lefties would like everyone to believe.
El proyecto polĂtico del fascismo es instaurar un corporativismo estatal totalitario y una economĂa dirigista. SOMEONE PLEASE TRANSLAT
For the love of God, can someone please put this woman on the first plane to Cuba and keep her there!!!!
UNBELIEVABLE!
Wake up, America—she’s a communist sympathizer and Obama is a radical leftist socialist, which is what this woman and everyone who worships Castro like she does is. Run!
When Castro had surgery he had a Spanish surgeon.
I’ll bet money most Cubans aren’t allowed a foreign surgeon.
FOOL……..a real fool.
Che Guevara was an international terrorist and mass murderer. During his vicious campaigns to impose communism on countries throughout Latin America, che Guevara trained and motivated the Castro regime’s firing squads that executed thousands of men, women and children.
WHT is this B***h is saying?
Talk about out of the woodwork? Stupid elected this one or maybe they can’t read English? Go to Cuba & stay There!Poor California it has been trashed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
American Blacks have been caught up in a Slave Mentality, first the Slave Master, next Pres. Johnson devalued them to the Welfare Projects, actually took the sharecroppers off their land, for the DelMontes of the south (Big Business)…FACT. After M. King was murdered, the fearful Libs. decided to control them with dangling carrots of just enough to keep them imprisioned in Poverty…This is how Liberals discriminate, keeping you religning on Gov. to keep you alive…..
This is how Castro worked for those on the sugar Plantations vs Business Peoples, this is how ALL commies work, just enough to keep you in line & beg for stuff from them….Slavery of the MIND & SOUL is communism…
Castro though, is one of those with almost a billion Dollars in those Swiss Bank accounts……FACT his worth is more then the Queen of England..This is a what power will do to these Liberal Politicans, they need POWER over YOU, under the vail of Compassion.
Are we speaking of the same Cuba in which people live under constant fear of tyranny and dictatorship. Isn’t this the same Cuba the citizens of which literaly risk death EVERY DAY to swim to USA shores.
The only people more stupid than this Affirmitive Action so called congresswoman are the fools who voted her in.
Cuba is a hell hole dictatorship where an attorney by education drives a cab to make ends meet.
People drive cars from 45 years ago. Homes are in state of decay. CASTRO HIMESLEF FLEW IN A DOCTOR FROM SPAIN TO SAVE HIS LIFE !! Eat that Ms. Congresswoman
Time has stood still since that ruthless dictator took over and people live in abject poverty and misery.
This idiot woman not only does not deserve to be in US Congress she really should be cleaning the floor of some gas station toilet, if she is qualified, which is doubtful.
She can’t really be that dumb can she?
This “lady” is an idiot! But the real idiots are the ones who elected her. As most cubans in Cuba, they have been indoctrinated and brainwashed into believing that the Democrat party gives a crap about them. The only thing the Democrat party wants from them is their vote. And the basterds use my hard earned money to do this.
WE, THE PEOPLE must take our country back before its too late. We must insist that oue elected representatives vote against any of Obama’s plans to socialize our country and destroy our Constitution. And then, lets throw all of these rear-holes out of office next election cycle!
Para Panfilo:
Cretina en ingles es “cretin” o “evil”, que tambien puede ser en espanol o “pendeja” o “hija de puta”.
Tu decides.
The American dreamworld is coming to an end. And we are finally… uh… still are NOT getting it, I think.
If you good people believe that booting Obama out of office and “fixing things” in 2010 is the answer, then God help you. People better start addressing the systemic, cancerous erosion that is at the root of all this communist crap. God love Glenn Beck, but all he’s doing is telling you to prune the branches. He needs to be telling you to take an ax to the roots of the tree. All the major institutions of this country are now in the hands of the communists, and its been going on for 50 plus years. Legal and justice, education, entertainment, news media, half of big industry, labor, environment, public policy, land reform, local and state counterparts… all of it, leftist to radical Marxist.
Joe McCarthy and all his ilk were absolutely right. You people have been warned for over 50 years about this crap, and you ignored it. It’s about time we woke up, now that its five minutes to midnight. Only one thing is going to resolve this situation, and it isn’t handwringing, voting and calling your congress-tyrant.
check out this site..The ten planks of the communist manifesto….http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7006/com-man.html
All these folks who laud Castro and the Cuban helathcare system should just set the example and go down there when they get sick. Just forget the fact that when Castro needed his major surgery, he imported surgeons from Spain. If you can’t go to the U.S., I guess getting someone from Europe is the next best thing.
She’s not a dumb as appears as she compares BO to Castro…..
The statists are circling the wagons, using whatever tactics they can do attempt to discredit anybody that opposes them. In typical Marxist fashion she used race and hate to try to sway the masses. This is their oldest card and they still think it works as well as it did in the 1970’s. They are scared and it is showing.
She’s ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! She’s comparing the current health care proposal and our current leader to that of Cuba’s and it’s leader. And she’s absolutely right, BO and Castro are birds of a feather, and that got into power the same way. With promises to help the people and pie in the sky dreams of “chamge” for the better. But eventually Castro showed himself for what he REALLY was, a Marxist/Socialist dictator and BO is EXACTLY the same. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Our country is being STOLEN from us from right under our noses! Idiots like Diane Watson need to be voted out of office, exposed for what she really is and sent to Cuba to live for a year or two to see how truly GREAT their healthcare is. And by the way, I was born in Cuba, my wife was born in Cuba, we BOTH still have family members there and I KNOW what I’m talking about, unlike this imbecile Diane Watson!
Castro, in my book, is ranked as the stupidest leader in the 20th century. 90 miles from the biggest economic engine on the planet, Cuba could have been the economic powerhouse of the entire Caribbean region. Instead it is a 3rd world backwater. Why do liberals think he is so smart? I don’t get it. Her and Oliver Stone should move to Cuba.
If all those people that “look like her” are so damn proud of Kenya…Then why don’t the just re-settle their homelands!!! Oh wait…They don’t have all the entitlements there…That won’t work! I bet Chavez would be happy to take a grundle of black American’s that agree with his govt. take over of that country…Seems like Blacks would be much happier any where in the world but the USA…They just can’t give up all the free s#!t…WORD!
Isn’t truly amazing how some people, like Congresswoman Watson, advertise their utter stupidity. The sad thing is that others agree with her moronic statements. Castro and Gueverra were murdering thugs who imposed an oppressive totalitarian government on the people of Cuba. When we say things like, “Ah that could never happen here in the United States.”, you have to take note of the fact, after hearing morons like this Congresswoman Watson, that there are leaders within the Democratic Party who agree with the tactics of Fidel Castro and Che Gueverra!! It is truly astounding how we have come to this point in our history when people like Congresswoman Watson and Barack Obama are tolerated and praised for their political philosophies. You don’t think it could happen here? Think again, my freedom-loving friends. It can happen because of the work of today’s Democrat Party. November, 2010 cannot come soon enough!!
If that communist congresswoman loves Castro and his government, she should move to Cuba. We need to “vote-out” this piece of cancer.
The Castro love displayed by black members of congress has to be more than just shared ideology. I suspect their loyalty has been paid for.
She should be recalled from office for violating the oath she took when she entered office:
“I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Watson Cuba is guilty of sedition. This piece of traitorous snot is a Congresswomen who took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. In her praising a Communist state, she shows us all her treasonous heart, just like her buddy, Barack Hussein Obama. How anyone so incredibly ignorant can be elected into (I was going to say, “One of the most powerful positions in the world, but slugs such as herself have reduced the nation to the status of a banana republic.)the U.S. Congress does not bode will for the survival of the Republic! Watson Cuba nor Obama are no George Washingtons or any of the great minds that tried to put together a system that frees us of the tyranny of government. Stupid, stupid person who condemns the atrocities to the American Indian and slavery, maintained by the State wants to give the State more power. Really dumb!
Congresswoman Watson:
With all due respect, let me school you. If you are black and a complete idiot, it’s not RACIAL discrimination of people point out that you’re a brainless twit. It’s INTELLECTUAL discrimination, and if that makes me a bigot, I am proud, proud I tell you to be one.
If I were black I’d be ashamed to share my race with you! I know many fine, upstanding black intellectuals and trust me, ma’am, you ain’t one of them!
Not even close.
How much did you have to pay to get people to vote for you?
This FOOL has government housing written all over her face.

She should kill her parents first for the crime they committed to give her birth in USA instead of in Cuba before she has that shameless to show up to talk.
These people are no longer even making an attempt to hide their Marxist leanings, and Americans still don’t believe it. The only explanation is that they know Americans are asleep. Wake up America!
My father had sold lots of horses to Cuba when it was free, before this wonderful revolution…after the revolution, the jackasses that took over ordered thousands of horses (and I’m talking about expensive American Quarterhorses and Thoroughbreds…slaughtered and butchered for food)…not to mention that day after day they lined people up in front of firing squads and executed them.

LOL. OLD COLD WARRIORS DIE HARD. EVEN WHEN THEY DO PASS, YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE ECHOS OF THEIR PREJUDICE TOWARD THE TRUE PROGRESS MADE IN CUBA. WHEN WE EXAMINE THE FACTS, CUBA’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM PUTS THE ONE HERE IN THE U.S. TO SHAME.
¡VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
Ok, come the conservative revolution we must have trials.
All seditionary congressmen and women will be given a fair trial. If they avocated and voted for unconsitutional laws, promoted or avocated communism, then they will forfet all property and funds, and be exiled from America. If Communist Cuba will have them, fine, otherwise, cast adrift at sea.
This person is in office?? why don’t we send her down there to live. Tell her to bring her toilet paper, as these poor people have nothing. We send our family medicine as they can’t get health care, sure, the Cubans have a great health care she is saying…not!!, I am sure Fidel and his boys do! GIVE ME A BREAK WOMAN!
Fidel Castro is a criminal lady!

Listen to her voice…arrogant…strident…anti-American. They used our election process to comquer America. Gracious in defeat? How long will you sit there letting this ObamaNation swell up…toxic infection by foreign enemies and their traitorous GateKeeper…the Democrats…who let them in while we slept. We are conquered…now what are you willing to do about it?
When she is down for a heart atack have the EMT ask her if she would like to be transported to Cuba for emergency treatment.
Isn’t it amazing that the Democrat love affair with the cowardly mass murderers Castro and Che still persists? I guess the typical vote from the “Party of the People (or is that the “People’s Party)” still can be had because of appearance instead of substance.
The way the regime treats blacks should at least raise some doubts in the minds of leftists like Wilson. But no, it’s still Viva Che and Fidel! ad nauseum.
Can you say: “Useful idiots.”
She is only as intelligent as her constituents…
Fidel Castro is one of the brightest leaders she’s ever met? The man who thought it was a bright idea to allow nuclear weapons to be placed in his country, causing an international incident and bringing the doomsday clock to one of (if not the) closest point to midnight ever? The man who thought it was a bright idea for communism to be the style of government for his new country? The man who runs his country with such bright ideas that millions of refugees have fled his rule? I’m thinking she’s not very bright and certainly not qualified to render an opinion on anyone’s leadership abilities.
Dems have for the longest time elected over and over these same people who blame all their problems on the mean vile Republicans, knowing all they have to do is supply them only with the basic freebies Dems give to think they are helping the “people”. These people for their totally uninformed reasons, continually dis-enfranchise themselves time and again by giving their vote to these same elitist leftwing pols, never having anything changed for the better …
“Only the socialist and the slave owner believe they have a right to the fruit of other people’s labor”
The residents of Louisiana must be the stupidest people on earth to have elected this idiot!
This woman needs a one way ticket to her beloved Cuba, we will sign her up for the free health care, she will get what she pays for.
Please, President Obama apologize to the million and half of cubans in this country for the ignorance of this woman. You campaingn on the principle of Unity. Litsen for once, Democratic Party Members, the problem you people have is as follows, you proclaim Democracy, but your Party is infiltrated by the bearers of an alien Philosophy,who have nothing to do with democratic principles. The problem democrats have is the lack of leadership with a backbone and ready to shout, enough of all this Socialist,Commuist or Marxist Experiment whatever the name is.. But voting is precious and the time will come when our vote will make us free.
The really sad part is that there are people who agree with her and she will probably get re-elected.
Congresswoman Watson;
Next time, when you decide to opine publicly about a subject as complex as the so called Cuban Revolution and its leaders, please try to educate yourself as best as you can before you do, so you don’t end up making such an embarrassing show of ignorance. To help you out on this matter, I will give you a couple of facts and a comment. Fidel Castro was the leader of Movimiento 26 de Julio, one of the many groups who fought against Fulgencio Batista. Castro led his group since 1953, when they attacked the Moncada Barracs in Santiago de Cuba, three years before he met Ernesto (Che) Gevara in 1956, in Mexico City. After the revolutionaries took power on January 1, 1959, Guevara was in charge of La Cabana Fortress, in Havana, were he managed over the killing of more than 500 people by firing squads in the span of a few weeks. None of those men shot in La Cabana in those days, weather they commited any crimes or not, were given the chance of a fare trial under the law, and were, instead, condemned before hand by the so called Revolucionary Tribunals, without access to a proper defence. Most of the death sentences were carry out at night, the same day of the “veredict”. When asked by an Argentinian friend who went to visit him in his office at La Cabana, about the legality of the firings, Guevara replied: “In this business of the revolution, either you kill or get killed.” And that is what he did best during his revolucionary life, to kill people, in cold blod or in combat, in Cuba, in Congo, in Bolivia, until he got killed. Concerning the “billiance” of Fidel Castro as a leader, the last time I checked, you should always measure the effectiveness of any human action, including the actions of any leader, not by its intentions, but by its effects. Castro took power in 1959 and instead of guiding the country back to democracy, by 1961 had stablished a pro-soviet totalitarian regime. In 1962, by allowing the installation of soviet misiles in Cuba, provoqued the October of 1962 crisis between the United States and Soviet Union, taking the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. By 1991, after loosing the economic support of the dismembered USSR, Castro had converted Cuba, one of the most advanced countries of Latin America in the 1950’s, in a poor nation with a dilapidated infranstrucure, a wreeked economy and moore than one million exilees (around 10% of the population). Measured by the results of his policies, Castro is one of the worst political leaders of the 20th Century. In Cuba, Ms. Watson, nothing is free, including the healthcare. It has been paid many times over with blood, sweat and tears from the Cuban people. I don’t expect you to take my word for any of these, but I sincerely hope you will educate yourself a little bit better, so you don’t keep praising the criminals next door.

What a joke of a congressman. I am cuban, lived there 27 long and terrible years.
Her history teacher was probably a wacko or she is just a numskull. Castro was not a general
nor was he found by Guevara to lead the Revolution. Castro was leader from the very begining of a
small group who prepared in Mexico and later went to Cuba to initiate the guerrillas against
Batista. Castro recruited Guevara in Mexico and made himself Commander in chief. A comunist
radical, and ideologue whose mind is very close to Mussolini’s. A fascist who owns a contry and
a criminal whose hands are stained with millions of cubans blood. I suffered comunism and it is
so disgracefull to listen to this crap in this country. What are you waiting for americans to
wake up? A communist revoluction? It’s happening right now!
She is praising cuba for kicking out all the wealthy to remake the country? Is she suggesting we do the same here? Doesn’t she realize she would be one of the wealthy to be kicked out, as well as her beloved Barack? I’m astonished that such narrow minded, unbelievably unamerican people get voted in. Is this where we thank Acorn for their rallying to get the ‘right’ people to vote? I am scared to death of the census next year and the election in 2012 with them in charge. If you’re a middle class white person…scratch that, if you’re a white person in any class say good bye to being heard at all.
Ok LA … You voted for this piece of _rap … Welcome to your ‘you don’t own a damn thing’ world … isn’t it great? NO? Then tell this UNHONORABLE idiot to get down to Havana for a PAP SMEAR and lets see how she likes waiting on a 3 month list for a rusty spoon to be shoved up her for it! And that’s cutting edge proceedure for them, just bring your own towels for it. Yeah Cuba is such a retirement destination … permanent retirement if you don’t go along with your Communist leaders that is!
This lady is sorely mis-educated and is irresponsibly mis-leading the people. (Nothing unusual for a Democrat “representative” from LA.)
She says that Che Guevera was responsible for the Cuban Revolution and THEN afterwards sought a national leader and came upon Fidel Castro.
Well, revisionist (lying) history lady, brothers Fidel and Raul Castro initiated the Cuban Revolution, THEN found Che Guevera and made him second-in command to Raul. Che Guevera never “found” Fidel Castro to be Cuba’s new leader; Fidel Castro installed himself as dictator following the revolution Fidel Castro and brother Raul had begun.
Try reading a history book, lady.
Try finding a new informed and honest representative, LA.
Who is this nut? Cesar’s right. Are we going to wait around for all our freedoms to be extinguished and replaced by socialism? Forget about any American dream now. All the money you make will go to the government and that poor crack dealer down the street.
This woman is the classic Communist definition of a “useful idiot”.
Did this idiot even graduate High School? Did any one in her district,for that matter.
She shows her stupidity and ignorance of histoy with her remarks
She is a disgrace to all thinking black people.
FACT- The Annual UN Human Development Report states that Cuba’s infant mortality rate and AIDs rate is lower than the United States. There are more doctors per inhabitant than any other country in the WeWesterN Hemisph
Who is really surprised here that a DEMOCRAT would admire MASS MURDERERS as her ROLE MODELS ?
The DEMOCRATS SLAUGHTERED 60 MILLION in Russia to turn that continent into one big _hit-hole. They want to do the same to your neighborhood!
If she is that oblivious and indifferent to the extreme suffering of the Cubans, DO YOU REALLY THINK PEOPLE LIKE THIS GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOUR SUFFERING !
Ramon glad to see you made it out. Liberals and Communist go hand and in hand. The more people a dictator kills the more Liberals like them. Gotta play that race card when you don’t know what the (where Kennedy is) talking about. Call H E L L 6 6 6 and talk to Ted.
People like her really don’t know the brilliance of America historically speaking. I mean, all they do is think about “slavery”, as if that’s America, but slavery was the norm throughout mankind’s history (including in Africa and all civilizations). America’s uniqueness is that they ended it. They started the ball rolling in 1776 — and before that really. It took great ideas to even realize slavery was wrong, because it was not always known to be and it was Western ideas that made that possible. So, that’s what I have to say about her little statement about “people who look like me”. It’s a thoroughly unjust claim. She is living in a free country. The best the world has to offer.
Now she praises Fidel Castro an enslaver, impoverisher, thug and murderer. He machine gunned down children trying to leave that island. I don’t know how intelligent Castro is, but I do know that he is evil and if that Watson entity wants a country like Castro’s, then she is no better than a slave driver. In fact, she is worse, because she should know better.
Oh, and not surprisingly, she got Rush’s point about him wanting Obama to fail wrong. Rush knows that increasing government controls and taxes will make things much worse for Americans, thus he wants Obama to fail in doing that.
Uhhh…I think I actually threwup a little in my mouth listening to this…
Everywhere else is great except the country they live in that allows them to speak their mind…even if it does show their idiocy…
Being a student of Latin America, I am appalled at the comments from this congresswoman. I cannot believe that someone who has benefited by the fruits of the United States could actually endorse a corrupt and failing system such as Cuba. If the congresswoman would visit Cuba she would find that most of the people do not have a desired lifestyle. They are lacking food. If she traveled to Cuba she would find that she would not have much of a food choice. Their health care is NOT good. There are waiting lines for everything. I would advise her to travel to Cuba for herself. This lady is really not well informed.
Americans please know who you are voting for next election. This is getting crazy.
Good grief. This is one stupid woman. Who is the “They” that went out and found a leader? It certainly wasn’t the Cuban people.
My guess too is that we should examine this woman’s financial portfolio. If this was 1959 in Cuba, she would probably rank among the “wealthy” that was overthrown that she references.
Carol,
The Congresswoman may have already traveled to Cuba. She states that she has met Fidel Castro himself and “he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met.”
The Congresswoman has traveled beyond her limitations; there is no hope.
No extra tutoring can ever help her.
Thousands in jail, sharing the same cell with all kind of human crap, just because they desagree
with the regime. Most of them intelectuals or just ordinary people who think, speak, and write
their minds. That’s your beloved revolution madam Watson. Millions (wich is the mayority of the
population) living in hell, without the most basic goods, undernourished, sick, sad, depressed,
dreaming of leaving to whenever. My mom just asked me to send her toothpaste and toilet paper
and even with american dollars it is dificult to find it. That’s your beloved revolution madam
Watson. Hospitals full of croaches, dirty, many of them without potable water. I remember the
nights I spent watching my dughter when she was born because of the croaches, the ants, the rats
and even scorpions craving for a tender baby body. I remember so many nights seating in a filthy
hospital with asma in line for some albuterol if there was any left. That’s your beloved revolu
tion madam Watson. I remember being fired from my job just for being a christian and not a
member of the communist youth party. I remember the mob on my moms’ door screaming, violent just
because of her opinions and beliefs. I remember speaking very low in my house about “the situa
tion” fearffull that even a neighbor could hand us over to the authorities accused of conspiracy.
I remember so many tears, frustrations, and sleepless nights dreaming of the day I could be free.
I remember the threatnings, the manipulations, the lies of a regime that spread misery among
the people while they luxuriate with the best of capitalism. I remember the day I said goodby to
mom and her last words: “I am proud of you my son, be strong, keep your faith in the Lord, I am
sad but happy. Live free and someday we will meet again”. Castro, madam is an assasing, a
murderer, a human disgrace. Tears, blood, misery, persecution, families torn apart, tirany.
That’s your beloved revolution madam Watson.
One only has to consider the source, to grasp what an assinine person Diane Watson really is. She has one thing and only one thing going for her, she is black in a black Congressional District. It takes about five seconds listening to Watson, before her racist personality takes over. She has been this way her entire political life. People like Watson are why race relations in the United States haven’t reached it’s full potential. What is the solution, a rational person might ask? The only hope is to reduce Democratic Party status back to a minority in Congress, take away their power and shut down the platform for the racist and anti-American comments they so freely shower upon us.
This is embarrassing, an elected official is this ignorant (maybe not that surprising). First she is historically inaccurate, Fidel lead the revolution (was not brought in), connected with Che while exiled in Mexico, returned to Cuba in 1956 and overthrew Batista in 1958. Second, the Cuban economy has been in a shambles for years, the majority of the population living in poverty.
Forget politics, I am offended by this woman’s stupidity.
Look at Socialist and Communist leaders…always rich and well dressed.
These people live a catered life, you know, been there done that, whilst the rest of us suffer and are subject to these monsters whims. America is not perfect, but if you have never lived somewhere else to see what America does offer, then shut your mouth.
Not one politician will live or lives like the rest of us. ROME has returned, its the fourth Reich people.
Its not about freedom… Its about control, stability, and security.
So Rep. Watson, Hitler was a Socialist… was he a great leader?
Her mother should of swallowed
She is a brilliant woman whose intelligence just confuses the hicks and rednecks. America needs more like her, many more. The revolution is here.
You have to know that she also approves of the slaughter and imprisonment of so many Cubans who have opposed Castro, just as I am sure she approves of the 70 million slaughtered by Mao, the co-darling, along with Castro, of leftist loons like her. Murder of anti-communists is necessary, in the opinion of the progressives, but God help us if we inconvenience any terrorists or leftist destroyers with our methods of interrogation to save American lives. Even making the muslim jihadists uncomfortable with loud rock music, or in posture positions, is cruel and inhuman to the Obambots, while millions of unemployed and destitute are acceptable, as long as the banker enablers, Georgie boy Soros, and Emmelt of GE are paid off by comrade Obummer. Hitler also enlisted the bankers and industrialists in the National Socialist takeover of Germany as a first step to his dictatorship. We are in a literal fight for our republic and possibly our lives, and there is no common ground with these loons, only surrender of your principles, morality, and work ethic. They will never stop pushing and demanding, no matter how much you give up to accomodate their marxist plans, until we mimic Cuba, or at least Venezuela in the assault by Obummer’s mentor, Chavez.
America,get ready to fight!
This is what we have running our government !!!!!!! It is no wonder things are so screwed up. Where do they find these people, and what did they promise to get elected? The larger question is who would vote for them?
If the Cuban Revolution was such a great thing, then why do thousands of Cubans every year face losing their families, their jobs, and even death to come to this country. I guess that she doesn’t respect the patron saint of liberal Democrats, John F. Kennedy, who fought so hard against communism and Fidel Castro.
Once again, Watson is showing that she is an incredibly stupid, foolish woman. I don’t care what the color of her skin is – she has no business in politics. She has demonstrated time and time again that she has no intelligence whatsoever when it comes to governing our country.
How do scum like this get elected? The mainstream media and the Communist Democrat Party brilliantly have brainwashed the mindless masses over the past 8 years that George Bush, was the evil one, repeating the same things over and over and over and over and over, illegal war, illegal election, Bush is evil, and on and on and on, convincing even Republicans and Moderates that we needed CHANGE! Bought into it hook line and sinker (although Bush and all the inarticulate Republicans certainly did not help their cause by remaining silent trying to maintain some sort of dignity, not wanting to offend their enemies,what a messed up strategy! Obama, his cabinet and cronies are all frauds and Communists. This country I live in is America—land of the brave—home of the free! How many of our soldiers have died for the love of freedom and what this Country was founded upon?? We must push these people out the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this is NOT what the majority of Americans want! If you love America get involved!! Educate your children and family! Kick all of these ignorant spineless cowards out of Washington!!!! I don’t want to live in a frickin Cuban-like country!
In a socialist country, only those at the top are well off, the majority of the population remain bottom feeders who will never have an opportunity to better themselves. Here in America–The wealthy and elite, politicians, actors and entertainers—they will continue to live lavish lifestyles—-Keeping the rest of us controlled with the crumbs thrown our way—is this what we really want for America??
Alchie Collns,
Its not the “rednecks and hicks” that are confused. They didn’t put this woman
in office.
BTW Alchie, did you know its the “white” Cubans like Fidel and Raul Castro who rule the
country and the black and mixed race Cubans who work the sugar plantations?
These poor souls even have to ration their toilet paper. I wonder if the Castro
brothers do.
She is totally unacceptable as a Democrat, as an American, as a Human Being…… She needs to take her racist a$$ to cuba and live with her idol. Let’s see if she even makes 1/10 of the money she gets here, for doing absolutely nothing. And as far as obama looking like her. She’s right about that he has no bal1$, so throw a dress on him, paint them lips of his red and clip on some cheap gold jewelry and there ya go, twins! With statement like these from our elected officials, is there any doubt where they are trying to take this country. Funny the only one that ever starts the racist issue are the black people, if you look in their direction, you are a racist, if you disagree, you are a racist. LOL there was a report at one of obama’s meetings showing people bearing arms in public, one man had an assault rigle slung over his arm, they pulled in real tight just to show the gun, trying to make you think that it was some red neck hick with a gun, that bore ill will towards obama, but when FOX showed the whole scene, they p[anned back and lo and behold it was a black man. See how they manipulate the news. They don’t want you to know there are black people who are against the obama and the democrats. I hate to see what pelosi reid franks, waters dodd, and the rest will start calling the Black Americans, if they start letting their voices be heard.
This is unbelievable. Beyond words, I can’t stop laughing, except for the fact that this is real and people in this country actually elected her. The world has gone insane!
apparently he is the only leader she has met if he is the brightest one. if you hate America that much leave and make room for someone else.
I don’t know the racial composition is of this Representative, but I can guess.
A bigger mystery is: Why on earth do minority group vote in blocks? Why do they inflict nut-cases like this on the country?
I am white, but supported Alan Keys. Yet, 90% of blacks voted for Obama. Why?
Today, most of the folks in minority groups (as well as others) seem bent on looting the wealth of this country. Don’t they realize that when they’re done, if successful in destroying the greatest wealth-producing engine the world has ever seen, none of us will have anything?
Truly, I tremble.
Oops. I meant to say I didn’t know what the racial composition of her DISTRICT was!
YES WE too CAN have the healthcare system amd lifestyle of Cuba. We just need to step back and allow Obama to show us the way.
Blacks are prone to communism because they know the gap between
black and white abilities are so great that equality will
never be acheived without redistribution.This was widely
known by people from the 1930s my grandparents they told me,
but the media now obscures facts like this.Sad but true.Vote for
any black politician at your own peril.they are all Marxxists!
Here is a link to her email: http://www.house.gov/waters/IMA/issue.htm NOW she only accepts emails from people in her district so here is the address I used for it to go thru. 12345 Freedom of Speech Lane, INglewood, Ca 90301 They should allow everyone to email all congressmen and women no matter what district, becasue when they say stupid sh1t like this it is to the whole country, not just their district.
Now the rest of the country will finally know how screwed up California has been. Who votes for these Ignorant LOSERS. It’s got to be voter FRAUD!!!!!! TEA!!!! TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IN OUR STATE AND COUNTRY!!!! VOTE Them ALL OUT!!!!!!!! All of Public Servants who work for US Tax Payers should be very worried this next election time 2010/2012. The Communist will go!!! FREE AMERICA and GOD BLESS US !!!!!!!! By the way Osama Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Finestein, Boxer,Frank, Kenndy, Waters, and Ect…………ALL Communist LIERS!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve sent her a one way ticket to Cuba, free of charge.
I wish the caption would have read,”CA CONGRESSWOMEN PRAISES CUBAN REVOLUTION ETC….”. She is not a LA congresswomen. LA is a city, they don’t have a congress. It makes it look like this racist idiot is from Louisiana. We have enough of our own without trying to give us credit for more. Please keep us out of this one.
She must have been elected on the EEO program. Because there is no other way this nincompoop could possibly have been elected on her own.
WHAT AN INCOMPETENT BOOB.
Yes wee weed can. Yes wee weed can play the race card, again, and again, and again, and again – until it loses all meaning. Yes wee weed can.
Want to see the Cuban Health care go to: http://www.therealcuba.com. Pictures & descriptions. LETS SEND THIS MARVELOUS MAXINE TO CUBA FOR HER HEALTH CARE.
What a revisionist bunch of BS.
Fidel and his brother were murdering leftist guerillas.
I’ve been to Cuba. The country is in a state of economic collapse.
What good is health care – when the water is contaminated and people live
in squaller outside the major cities? She has definitely drank the koolaid.
Didn’t I just read where Cuba was running out of toliet paper? I know I did.
COMMUNISTS! They are coming out of the woodwork wike cockroaches!
I hate WAR!
Black nationalists (unrepatriated Africans in America) like the congresswoman are showing their true colors. The Kenyan and chief is the best thing to ever happen to this country as he and his fellow travelers will open the eyes of even the most brain dead among us.
Even though it would be very entertaining, this country doesn’t need an armed revolt. What is required is the repeal of the 19th amendment, followed immediately by the forced repatriation of all Africans in America currently incarcerated, on probation, or parole, or on any kind of public assistance.
If these folks want to know true racism they will find it in Africa. Let’s not lose site of the fact that it was Africans who sold their ancestors into slavery, not Whitey.
Reverend Dr. Jay
No you are wrong. Not ALL blacks are COMMUNISTS (the correct word), LOTS of blacks hate COMMUNISTS and the USURPER!
All Democrats are basically socailist
Half the people are total fools, its shame so many are in our government, they would fit in so great in Cuba, China etc, what a dimwit commie.
This woman is not only a fool, but doesn’t have her facts straight. First of all, Che Guevara did not throw the rich people out. Everyone who could get out, got out,and that was 1/6 of the population before the flights out of Cuba stopped. More would have left if they could. And it was a lot more than the rich. Second, Che didn’t go looking for a leader and found a lawyer named Castro. Castro was the one who planned the whole thing and Che came along.
When the hell are we going to stand up and take back our Country from these IDIOTS that who knows
God voted into office??????
Everyone knows that capitalism does not work.
if fidel had not taken cuba it would look like
one BIG McDs restaurant with fat unhealthy people.
none of the charm from the past would have been left.
Everyone chips in to help the common good of everyone.
Women are liberated and treated as “equals”
socialism now, socialism tomorrow, and socialism forever !!!
What on earth is she talking about? Cubans have high levels of doctors per capita but they don’t exactly have access to the finest medical equipment around. Somehow the healthcare system doesn’t quite make up for 0 infrastructure harsh, food rationing, the fact that tourist waiters make about 10x more than doctors… the list goes on.
PS elected official, your history of the Cuban revolution is a little off. And by a little off I mean totally inaccurate. Castro founded the movement while studying law at Havana U (from which he never graduated). He organized student uprisings, fled in exile with his band of revolutionaries to Mexico where he clandestinely trained for guerilla war. It was there that CASTRO found GUEVARRA, a Argentine doctor who had just wandered up through Guatemala. Guevarra was merely a rebel column commander under both Castro and his brother, and not a particularly talented one. He held high positions in the early rebel government before leaving to fight miserably unsuccessful insurgencies in Tanzania and Bolivia, where he died. PS I know this because I read in my spare time. I hope you’re reading this and learn to at least have a vague idea of which you speak before you do so in public. Nice try, but not even close.
This woman, and everyone like her needs to move to Cuba, seeing as how she is literally kissing Castro’s feet. I don’t understand comments like this coming from the mouths of FREE American citizens.
I really hope that the people in California wake up and vote these people out before it is too late. At some point too late will lead to a revolution.
No wonder California is so broke. The great social experiment has failed.
In my experience, those who embrace socialism are those who have lived under a version of it in American families. Generally upper middle class white kids who have a bone to pick with their parents. Embracing socialist ideals is a passive-aggressive way of lashing out at their successful parents and justifying their own failure to succeed on the same level. I’m not making this up, I’ve seen it over and over again. They have come to believe that if all things are distributed equally, everyone would be as well off as they are. The problem is, the entire nations standard of living would drop to just above poverty level and there would be hopelessness and despair amongst our best and brightest. These upper middle class, angry white kids have had it so easy their whole lives that they mistakenly believe that same level of comfort would be achieved if the government were everyone’s mommy and daddy. And these lazy upper middle class white kids have been taught by angry upper middle class white kids that decided to become professors in our colleges because they were afraid to compete outside of the petri-dish environment of university living. Most of us don’t have a mommy and daddy to save us from the cold harsh realities of the world kids. Before you prescribe socialism for America, be fair, be honest, be a real man or woman, travel to Cuba and live under socialism for two years. Then report back. Take your Socialist Idealism and swallow it with your next dose of prescription drugs… go back to sleep and let the rest of us move on with the task of building this country up.
She is queen of the poverty pimps.
Dean,
I wonder if Fidel or any of the other white Cuban ruling class ever help out on
the sugar plantations. I wonder if everyone equally rations toilet paper.
Instead of fat unhealthy people he has skinny unhealthy people.
Charm from the past indeed, rattletrap cars from decades past.
You wonder what the hell is wrong with California? What the hell is wrong with out country? Just listen to this. Go to Cuba and stay.
Everyone ought to visit and pay close attention to the material presented on therealcuba.com
Look closely at the “Cuban healthcare” photos and read the stories that Castro doesn’t want anyone outside Cuba to know about.
therealcuba.com
WHEREVER a Democrat majority exists, poverty exists also.
The Left never CREATES opportunities (conditions which foster opportunities) for wealth and individual prosperity, the Left proliferates amidst those who exist in poverty and deprivation. Thus, what they “create” (and this is proven time and time again, nationwide, as also worldwide) is more Leftwing-ism securing more and more poverty and deprivation.
Wherever the Democrats are in majority, poverty proliferates.
Strange that Ted (kennedy) didn’t go to Cuba for his health care when he was alive. Btw, has anyone heard of nay medical breakthroughs coming out of Cuba?
Mr. Abbott: I have never seen this aspect of Upper Middle Class Aristocratic Radicalism better explained. I want to add that this Radicalism is fed to students of all classes every day by nearly every social studies teacher in America. Social Studies Morality is being imbued into every kid in this country since it took over from the teaching of History after World War II. The vast ethical vacuum created by the irrelevance of Christianity, especially the Protestant Liberal congregations like the United Church of Christ (in which I grew up and which are now worse than the “country club” churches they attacked in the 1960s), are now little more than Liberal political gatherings on Sunday morning…Ethics and Faith and Values of the Church have been replaced by Social Studies ethics preached on the tax dollar by the Evangelists of the new Faith at the front of the classroom. The American Federation of Teachers and NEA are solidly Liberal Democrats who preach on the tax dollar to a captive audience mandated by government to be in those seats. Someone quipped that the Church of England was the Tory Party at Prayer. This is an analogy to the condition of public education. The Social Studies classroom, the English Classroom and even science classes (to the degree that they have become “Green” indoctrination gatherings studying “Pond Scum Biology”) all preach the New Morality and New Faith and New Evangelical “Activism”… they all go forth become Fishers of Men… Every day they teach their captive students the NEW Guilt and NEW Shame and the NEW way to do penance for the crimes of our EVIL nation, conceived in Racism and Gender Prejudice…. and Theft and Imperialism…The Republicans don’t understand how much has changed. Conservatives tend not to see change.. they see their immutable “Truths” as being eternal and, therefore, only casually in need of defense or assertion. Containment is not enough… “Roll Back” is necessary.
@ Delmar Jackson August 28th, 2009 – 3:19 pm
…adding to your post there is the suppressed fact that some who owned slaves in the early Americas were, indeed, Black themselves.
And that over ninety-percent of Africans sold into slavery by their relatives in Africa were sent to South America and the Caribbean (NOT TO NORTH AMERICA), where they were then owned there (South America mostly) by other Blacks, or those of mixed race, Blacks and Hispanics.
South America imported about 90% or more of Africans during the slave trade years.
All this time, that documented fact suppressed out of a Leftwing need to defame “America”.
And Castro has a long history of racial hatred for Blacks. He’s lately trying to worm his way around that by claiming that “the Rightwing” in the U.S. opposes Obama based upon race, while it is ugly Fidel’s long-standing history as to racial antagonism in demeaning Blacks (who he deems inferior mentally to Hispanics).
Same with Hugo Chavez, by the way.

This is what happens when people choose security over liberty and freedom. Blindness is the result, even towards factual evidence (i.e. Cuban history). USA – DO YOU WANT PEOPLE LIKE THIS IN CHARGE?
You crackers bes stop dissin Sista D. She do her bes to represent. She wont be you escape goat. She should sue you all for defecation of character.
Congresswoman Watson should set the example and go to Cuba for her personal health care. She better take her own toilet paper with her or she’ll be in for a rude surprise.
It is sad that people with some education continue to fall for /buy into the words of Communists rather than judge them by results.
Blacks(40% men are felons).(75% of the women) have
babies without a daddie in the home.Has any race
seen their standard of living rise at the same time their immorality
increases? Usually morality is the best predictor of success. This
proves to me the gains blacks have made was given and mot earned.
Typical uneducated left wing nutjob ! Vote her out ! Just plain stupid !
Fresh water,
Its also a fact that thousands of black slaves were owned by free blacks in
the antebellum southern United States. African chiefs,kings and middlemen profitted very
handsomely from this despicable trade in human lives. It stands to reason that
Europeans would need the help of Africans in the slave trade since this was the
territory of powerful African tribes and kingdoms.
Also, it must be stressed that slavery was never about race, it was about the powerful
of every race preying on the weak of every race.
BTW it was said that the African king Mensa Musa (sp?) travelled with an entourage of
4,000 slaves. What color do you suppose they were?
The Romans were said to be the most brutal slavers on the planet. What color do you
suppose most of their slaves were?
Wow!! How out of touch with history and reality is she? How do people believe ANY thing she says?
This DUMBASS needs to talk to people that lived there and were jailed and tortured.
I know this restaurant owner in Floirda that is from there and he had relatives that were placed in large barrels of water — and the person stands in the barrel of water defecating, urinating… untill they succumb and die and drown in their own feces. That’s how that ‘brilliant’ man Castro treats people that don’t fall in lock step.
People of LA — wake up and toss this congresswoman out of office.
Rep. Diane Watson [D] is a dumbass.
Blacks have committed more homicides in America(80,000)than have terrorist,
since 911 when (3000) homicides occurred. Where is the war really?
Let’s give credit where it is due. Fidel Castro is completely colorblind.
When it comes to Useful Idiots he only cares that one is both useful to him and
a total idiot. Race is never a consideration. This should be reassuring to the
Useful Idiots of the left and Hollywood who come in all colors.
Getting a little off track here… If Rep. Watson thinks the Cuban Medical system is so great, perhaps she can explain why, when El Presidente himself, Fidel Castro needed expert medical care, the Cubans had to call in doctors from Europe. Spain, to be precise. Certainly, the cream of the Cuban medical establishment must have been available and eager to treat their great father? Eager? Maybe. Competent? Maybe not, thus explaining the lack of eagerness.
What a foolish woman. This proves that just because people get elected to public office does not necessarily mean they have wisdom or basic intelligence.
I’ve been deep into Cuba through CityTeam Ministries and have seen first hand what a tragic country Cuba really is. The people are prisoners in their own towns living under oppression that comes from their own midst as government-hired neighborhood spies turn in neighbors for suspicious behavior. The black market runs rampant so people are constantly looking over their shoulders. The lauded education system is a joke as studying 1950’s Russian farm equipment does not make one an Engineer, particularly while now being employed as a pig or egg farmer. We should not mimic this cruel nation – we should pity it.
This congresswoman has been duped by the propagandist Cuban government – as have many other gullible Americans. And by the way, just because someone (Castro) is “so smart” does not make them good or effective as a leader. History is laden with many brilliant, smart leaders who produced evil empires and led their people with oppressive regimes.
Hey, Los Angeles, elect good and knowledgeable leaders, not ignorant fools.
This woman is truly ignorant. I experienced Fidel Castro’s system first hand as a Cuban citizen, not as a visiting US Congresswoman who was given red carpet treatment by the longest ruling dictator in the history of the planet. It is awful and oppressive. Human rights do not exist in Cuba today.
Anyone interested in dropping her a line: http://www.house.gov/watson/
Wow, the stupidity of this woman is astounding. Perhaps she was brainwashed while she was down there visiting her hero, the El Presidente himself. She might as well state that Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were very bright leaders as well.
This is a fine example of what you get when you vote for a person solely on their race! This lady is a lunatic, if her constituents did not vote her in because of her color then why? At the end of the day, LA…you get what you vote for and ultimately get what you deserve with the choice you made.
Just think if the Obama dems stay in power we will have more of this dimwit in Congress.
This broad won’t go away. The people voting for her are just as stoopid as she is.
Watson is representative of her dumb constituients and black culture itself. She is a lot like obama. She gets her information from racist preachers ala rev wright, and racist teachers, als professor gates.
These lazy dopes watch a michael moore or oliver stone movie and think they understand the world. She is an idiot true, but so is the head idiot in the white house. I wonder when watson and her fellow black caucus members will want to rename that place. Maybe mandella house or malcom x house or if watson has her way, castro’s hacienda.
Are you kidding me? I’m Cuban and I can tell you first hand that this is a total lie. Cuba’s health care system is horrible. That is why Fidel Castro himself had a team from Spain operate on him. Fortunately for me and my family we came to the U.S. just before thing got really bad. The only people that get to enjoy what Cuba has to offer are tourists. Local Cubans are not allowed to go into tourist hotels are shop at tourist markets. They have to wait in line for their provisions(if any are available) just like good little communists. Esta prieta no sabe lo que dice…
My father fought in the bay of pigs invasion, the cubans of that time had the total gratitude to the USA for taking them in, THEY LOVED and LOVE the USA!!!!!!!! Those Cubans LOVE the USA TODAY AND WILL FOREVER… people think the idea of change as obama promised is a good thing, what they dont know ids that fidel offered the SAME SLOGAN of CHANge, AND THAT WAS BACLK IN 59..MY PARENTS ARE MORE AMERICAN THAN ANY BORN HERE, AND THEY LOVE THIS COUNTRY, they the astonishment that somehow history could repeat itsel a mere 90 mile from the American soil is unbelieveable, but seems to be exactly where we are headed, people just do no seem to realize that once you are there, it will be very dificult to get out….the grass ALWAYS seems greener on the other sidw of the fence, but there is no greater country in the WORL THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERRICA…where you have a choice and a voice, if you dont like it then L E A V E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and take this woman with you.
It always snows heaviest before it ends.Always darkest before the dawn.
The nastiness of the left is at such a pinnacle that it represents the
end of their reign.
The American dreamworld is coming to an end.
If you good people believe that booting Obama out of office and “fixing things” in 2010 is the answer, then God help you. All the major institutions of this country are now in the hands of radicals, and its been going on for 50 plus years. Legal and justice, education, entertainment, news media, half of big industry, labor, environment, public policy, land reform, local and state counterparts… all of it, leftist to radical Marxist.
Joe McCarthy was right. We have been warned for over 50 years about this crap, and we ignored it. It’s about time we woke up, now that its five minutes to midnight. Only one thing is going to resolve this situation, and it isn’t handwringing, voting and calling your congress-tyrant.
God love Glenn Beck, but all he’s doing is telling you to prune the branches. He needs to be telling you to take an ax to the roots of the evil tree.

“It always snows heaviest before it ends.Always darkest before the dawn.

Angl, we aren’t even close to the pinnacle yet. Not even remotely close. You haven’t seen anything. And I sure hope you never do. But, this has been going on in America now for 50 plus years, and the watchmen were laughed at and ignored. Now, we are going to reap the whirlwind in some fashion, either in falling down or getting up. How sad. It never needed to be this way, but the tea parties are way, way, overdue.
Let us never forget that it was a pro-Cuba communist traitor who murdered an American president, perhaps even at the behest of Fidel Castro.
Lee Harvey Oswald. Your dreams are coming true. If only you had lived; You might now be Obama’s Homeland Security Czar.
This is why I left the Democratic Party…sad part is Obama also believes in Communism but knows not to admit it in public.
PHOTOS OF ACTUAL CUBAN HOSPITALS AND CLINICS (not the Havana tourist hospital…these are of hospitals the Cuban people have to use)…
THAT’S BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS MADE UP OF COMMUNISTS.
EXCEPT FOR A HANDFUL OF BLUE DOGS, THANK GOD FOR THEM.
I don’t know what she’s talking about. The President doesn’t like her at all. He’s MUCH prettier.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE LIBERAL NEWS IS GOING BANKRUPT ! PEOPLE ARE FINALLY ON TO THE LIES, AND ONE WAY REPORTING. BUT DON’T WORRY LIBS ? OBAMA IS SHUTTING DOWN CONSERVATIVE NEWS, AND GOING TO BAIL OUT THE LIEING ONE WAY REPORTING. NOW HE WANTS TO BUILD A MILITARY ARMY, STRONGER THEN OUR OWN TO KEEP THE PEOPLE IN PLACE.NO JOKE ! BESIDES THE GOVERNMENT TAKING OVER EVERYTHING .FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS GOING TO BE SILENCED, AND A S.S. WILL BE BUILT ! HIS CZARS ARE MADE UP OF CRIMINALS, ADMITTED COMMUNISTS ! HE BANKRUPTED THE U.S.A. PURPOSLY ! MAKES CONTROLLING THE PEOPLE EASIER, ALONG WITH HIS S.S.ARMY WERE IN A TROUBLE ! AND A REVOLUTION WILL BE UNDER WAY ! NO WAY ARE AMERICANS GOING TO LIVE UNDER COMMUNISM ! TOO MANY VETERANS STILL ALIVE. THE RACE CARD TOOL IS ALL WORN OUT.
I find it very interesting that a great many stories are linked directly to Breitbart.com.
One might think that Mat Drudges editor is also none other than Breitbart himself, Oh ! wait it is Breitbart..Gasp what a shock.
Now all we need is for Andy to come out of the closet himself, or maybe Mat Drudge can out him just like he was outed by MSNBC.

(Pun intended)
Brilliance is relative…
You ma’am are a true IDIOT!
Cuba’s vaunted medicine (a la Michael Moore) is stuck in 1959. There hasn’t been a new drug or new med. instrument in use there since the revolution.

FIDEL KILLS PEOPLE, A$$ HAT. GET A CLUE.
When the pope went to Cuba in the 90’s, he forgot his popemobile,so Castro improvised strapping a phone booth to a 56 Belair. Just to show you the greatness of the leader who has provided his people with healthcare. where no child is left behind, like in this horrible country. The revolution has been a success. just look at the faces of the happy youth in Cuba. look at their rice cookers. So make fun of the dwindling toilet paper. I want to see you laugh went comrade Obama cuts off your supply of the soft capitalist-wipe. The congresswoman spoke the truth. Cuba has a better standard of living than Hialeah, Fl. And she knows a lot of history, but not the distorted kind you robots read. A smart and very good looking broad, might I add. Honor to the leader who smokes. Viva le pew!!
Greatest generation WW2(segregated).Cruddiest Generation 1964-2009,integrated.
In Cuba we can live in freedom. We don’t need computers other than to debunk your hateful press. We all know that Keith Olberman character. a true socialist that you have to admire. With all of the main press services in the tank for the most holy Kenyan it should be a cakewalk to ram thru all of the most pernitious agenda. What can a bunch of disgruntled republican do anyway? We in Cuba applaud the frankness of our new ally in the congress. Keep up the fight to liberate the United States from the tyranny of capitalism and join us at the soupline. We’re having Spaghetti a la che, and remember, when it comes to che’s sauce, the more water the better.
Sounds like the new democrats have turned into the old Communist party complete with Obama’s many Czars………….
You people don’t see what’s coming? Obama is taking over everything. He’s trying to shut up the radio talk show hosts. He’s going after the Internet now. Pretty soon you’ll be paying for the air you breathe. We’re screwed people. It’s time for a revolution.
Govt workers and politicians have great health plan and the rest of us are going to have a lousy plan. Sort like the pigs in Animal Farm.
Obama is destroying this country and the constitution and it looks like we’re too late to do anything about it. How you liking your change lefties?
Wait doesn’t this go against onumbnuts saying he is the last Kennedy? I thought Kennedy was in on the Cuban missle crisis. I guess she missed that part.
TERMINATE her citizenship IMMEDIATELY and deport her to Cuba. She is clearly a traitor and is guilty of HIGH TREASON.
She needs to step away from the crack pipe…. maybe there’s some $$$ left in the stimulus package somewhere for a one-way ticket to Cuba…good riddance!!
My granfather who came from Cuba in 1967 told me that one of his friend who fought with Che told him that Che couldn’t stand to have black people around him. So you black American who wear his t-shirt think about what I JUST WROTE.
An Obama marxist clone as is most of Obama’s czars and his administration. I was around when Castro took over and came to New York. The NY Times and other media treated him as a God and turned over the city to him. Nothing has changed in the far left liberal lying media. And most of the readers/listeners don’t know or could care less.
Here is a link that shows pictures and videos of Cuban hospitals for the real people, i.e. non-party members and tourist, of Cuba. Its frightening…
This low-life, piece of garbage, Diane Watson, is truly a reflection of the stupidity and ignorance of the people who elected her. Her ignorance knows no boundaries. It seems that every comment in this page recognizes and acknowledges the incompetence and stupidity of this woman. However, we are preaching to the choir here. It is important that every person who takes the time to comment here also take the time to send those comments to this poor excuse of a human being. She needs to know that her stupidity and ignorance will not go unnoticed.
Hey Hugo, they just installed a new red button in the White House today that can shut down all the private sector website on the internet. You got one of them yet?
Is there ANY representative from California that isn’t a blazing liberal idiot? No wonder the state is bankrupt, apparently both financially and intellectually. You know what they say… every democracy gets the government it deserves. It’s hard to believe any group of Americans would be stupid enough to deserve this blathering communist, but elections don’t lie. At least not unless ACORN is involved.
Most of the american conservatives are dumb IDIOTS when it comes to health care. They know NOTHING about the world outside USA and blindly trust the smoke coming out of talk radio. Fact is that a lot of developing countries generate the same or better outcomes at a lower cost through what would be ridiculed in this forum as “socialized medicine”.
I will give the example of a small state in India called Kerala where average life expectancy,infant mortality etc. are comparable with that of the US and they achieved it with a fraction of the money spent in US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_model
“Kerala’s infant mortality rate is 15.3[5] per 1,000 births versus 57.0 for India[5] and 7 for the US. Its adult literacy rate is 91 per cent compared to India’s 65 and the US’s 99. Life expectancy at birth in Kerala is 75 years compared to 64 years in India and 77 years in the US. Female life expectancy in Kerala exceeds that of the male, just as it does in the developed world”
Pretty soon, except the dumb-bats in forums like these, americans will have no option but to go to countries like India for their healthcare needs also (already most of the manufacturing and service sector jobs have gone to china and india thanks to the free-market policies of bozo republicans who thought progress can be achieved by americans selling houses to each other). Ther is already a flourishing medical tourism to states like kerala in India which have comparable, if not better, healthcare quality.
Then we will see that the vaunted american model insurance nonsense will collapse under its own weight.
You guys can keep posting nonsense in this forum about your stupid healthcare system while the rest of the world laughts at the IDIOCY of americans.
Castro was and is a murdering thug. I guess we know what to expect from our new Emperor, and his civilian national security force that’s, “just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded” as our military.
The sleeping giant is awake, and “they” will be stopped, fore “they” have underestimated the American people. We will not live under an oppressive regime. We still have the constitution which stands in “their” way, and we will use it, just as “they” use “law” to their advantage. We have only begun to fight!
Markos,
Do you know if these countries have to deal with the lawsuits that drive up
medical costs?
Do people abuse their health with morbid obesity in these countries?
Can you name any world famous medical centers in these countries that draws people
from around the world. You know, like the Mayo Clinic.
Tell us about all the medical research and discoveries coming out of these countries.
Is Cuba to be the new shinning example that the US must follow and emulate? Free Health care,any other
items that we should know about? Let’s not forget the great free life Cubans have to do as they please
with no resources whatever. Once you get past he sugar cane your done. Le’s have Cuban sty;e health care
what a great idea.
I’d like the CIA to investigate just what exactly the Congressional Black Caucus,”CBC” members talked about behind closed doors when they all visited Castro back in April 09?!
Rightwing dumbos,
Before piling on to Diane Watson, why don’t you moron’s do a little search on the web on cuban life expectancy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
For US, it is 78.11, for Cuba it is 77.45 by the estimate of CIA
by UN estimates, cuba has 78.3 and US has 78.2 years of life expectancy.
So, if we go by CIA estimate, the difference is about 7 months. Is that all the screwed up healthcare system in US could achieve after spending 18% of GDP?
No wonder George Bush and his fellow thugs were able to sell Iraq war to such a bunch of dumb idiots. If someone shouts “communism” or “socialism”, IDIOTIC americans will swallow anything.
Try to learn something about the world around you instead of watching the drivel coming out of the 1000 cable channels. Soon the world is going to progress further, deeming america irrelevant.
Is someone stopping this idiot from going to Cuba?
Markos,
Try to get your facts straight. Its the tax friendly policies of these countries
that draws our businesses to them. Its the tax and spend insanity of the Democrats
and lefties who are out to “get” the rich and big business that drives industry and
business to these other countries.
Obviously, these countries have a good capitalist sense and is their citizens, not ours,
that are better off for it.
Hey Markos,
If you do go to Cuba, stock up on toilet paper. The people’s paradise is rationing
it.
Mary,
You are starting to spout the talking points you heard from Limbaugh and Hannity.
There are plenty of medical facilities in India that rival the best facilities in US. There are plenty of americans that go to countries like India for surgeries because the costs are far lower and quality is about the same. Often they found the care to be much better.
Get ready for the globalized world when the emerging powerhouses like India and China are going to go after your health care jobs. They have already taken your manufacturing and service sector jobs thanks ti the foolish free-trade policies of George Bush and his cronies.
Mark my words, there is NOTHING great about existing american healthcare system. I have lived in Kerala and lived in USA. I can tell you that access to healthcare is a lot faster in kerala than USA.
Let me give you some statistics about kerala in dollars and cents.
It costs about $2-$5 to visit a specialist in kerala while you will pay around $100-$200 in US for comparable care.
I had sprained my ankle and went to a urgent care facility in US, it cost me(or my insurance company) around $400 for doing NOTHING, but providing a $20 worth cast (which was billed buy provider for $80 and I could have bought it at walgreens/walmart for $19.99). I had to pay extra for the pain medication at drug store.
An american friend went to India and he had to go to a similar facility in India due to some burns he had suffered. It cost him $4.75, at which included her prescription.
If you still think you have a great system in this country, you are living in fool’s paradise. On second thoughts, strike that, you have already proved that with the support for Iraq war.
All I can offer is my genuine sympathies for brain-washed idiots in this forum. You are the real “useful idiots” for the insurance industry that is milking you.
Let me tell you, you are no different from those who went through reeduation camps in communist countries. here you go through that voluntarily in the form of listening to limbaugh, hannity and the idiot called glenn beck.

Defendants. §
APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
Plaintiff Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes has received what appear to be facially valid orders mobilizing her to active duty with the United States Army in Iraq on September 5th, 2009 (Exhibit A). Captain Rhodes is both a US army officer and a medical doctor, a flight surgeon. On May 15th of this year 501 brigade out of Fort Campbell, KY, currently stationed in Iraq, has requested a support of medical personal in Iraq. Two days ago, August the 23rd, an order was given through the chain of command via e-mail for Captain Rhodes to arrive in San Antonio TX, Fort Sam Houston for Tactical Combat Medical Care Course (TCMC) to be held from August 30th till September 4t and next day, on September the 5th to arrive in Fort Benning in Columbus GA for immediate deployment to Iraq for a period of one year and twelve days from September 5th, 2009 until September 17th 2010. Captain Dr. Connie Rhodes wants to serve her country and fulfill her tour of duty, however as a US army officer and a medical doctor she has severe reservations regarding legitimacy of Barack Obama as the Commander in Chief and repercussions of her service under his orders, particularly in light of mounting evidence of him having allegiance to other Nations and citizenship of Kenya, Indonesia and Great Britain.

I knew that Fidel studied to be a priest and then was drafted by the Yankees, but a lawyer? Thanks for the enlightenment on the leader who required that all citizens in the 80’s use every part of the chicken because he refused to deal with the US on a level that would not only benefit his position in the world, but make his country just a tab bit better to live in. It gets me how some black bimbet from southern California can spend a week or so on some island in the Caribbean and come away knowing everything there is to know about the place. Just because you are able to put together coherent sentences does not afford you the luxury of making such broad statements. And they wonder why there is so much anger in America today!

Mary,
You are a fool like any other republican if you think that it is the “tax friendly” policies of China and India are drawing the jobs to those countries. You are no different from a commununist. A communist has his faith in marx and communist manifesto. You believe in that third grade actor Reagan and belive that tax policies are the be-all and end-all reason for everything in this world.
Truth is that, countries like India and China invested in human capital because of their erstwhile socialist policies (where education was heavily subsidized) and they churned out graduates from their universities who can compete with any american. Now they are reaping the rewards of that investment in the form of plenty of jobs while americans are suffering a 10% unemployment. Even the banks like Citi and BofA which were given a bucket load of bailout money by Bush administration is shipping jobs to India as quickly as they can while laying off americans.
I have worked with Indians and Chinese and it is not just the cost factor.Most of them provide a lot better quality of work than the whiny americans like the ones we can see in this forum, who only know how to shoot the messenger instead of looking for the root cause. That coupled with the cost makes it a no brainer for companies to ship overseas, especially when Bush administration was ready to embrace because of his firm faith in the religion of “free-market capitalism”.
The sheer idiocy that can be found in these right-wing forums baffle me.
Let us say Cuba is a basket casse because they followed USSR and the they have nothing to show except their healthcare system which produces comparable outcomes as US according to CIA fact book.
Let us look at another country that was allied with US since its independence. This country played a major role in defeating USSR in Afghanistan. Yes, I am talking about Pakistan.
Now India and Pakistan became independent on the same day. India pursued socialist policies initially and focused on educating its citizens. Pakistan allied with US and tried to create trouble for India. US overtly and covertly supported Pakistan against India during cold-war, since they perceived India to be a lackey of USSR.
Fast forward 60 years, India is becoming an economic powerhouse. Fewer than 1% of US population is Indian origin, but at least 5% of MDs in US are indian-americans. India became a major exporter in software exports, sucking millions of american jobs.
Pakistan also “flourished” during this time through multiple military regimes(most of which were supported by US during cold war), and became a major exporter of terrorism culminating in 9/11. Their implementation of capitalism was so perfect that at one point about 20 families controlled most of the national wealth in that country (US is heading that way with income inequalities rising). To distract the rest of the population, religious fundamentalism was encouraged by rulers of that country in the form of madrassa education(akin to republicans challenging evolution and science in US), while kids across the border in India was mastering the latest technology to compete with the rest of the world. Anyone challenging the existing notions in Pakistan were attacked and abused (by rightwing madrassa educated “useful idiots”) just like the rightwing does in this country these days. The role of madrassa is taken by Glenn Becks and Hannitys and Limbaughs in this country.
Now compare pakistan with Cuba. How many fidel castro supporters came to america to commit terrorism?(even though CIA tried to overthrow and assassinate castro on numerous occasions).
When I read rabid right wing forums like these, I think the right wing in US is looking for a “pakistanization” of US.
This woman is a frikkin’ lunatic. To think I wore a military uniform for 24 yrs for a POS like this! I’ll drop her ass over Cuba with no chute!
For the most part, only white Americans oppose the national health care plan. Blacks and Mestizos know they aren’t going to have to pay for it, white people are. Blacks and Mestizos as a group are huge tax recipients. They don’t pay any net taxes. White men are the only significant group that pays more than they get back in taxes. They pay MUCH more.
Markos, you are a fool.
Jonathan
Hey jackass republican shit-head, do you have any valid arguments to counter me for the facts that I have presented in this forum?
Otherwise, I suggest you masturbate like a monkey in front of a picture of Sarah palin as you would do every day
For the racist Joe G.
How about asians? They pay a lot more in taxes than they receive. So should an asian say that the gun-toting, swastika tattoed white trash in trailer is feeding off their tax money?
No wonder insurance industry has found plenty of “useful idiots” for their cause among “angry white men” listening to Limbaugh and Beck!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_States
“Overall Asian Americans enjoyed higher median personal incomes than any other racial demographic”
Joe G.,
So should asian-americans be concerned that Bristol Palin and other irresponsible white trash like her are taking their earned money through various medicaid schemes like TANF, AFDC etc., funded by their taxes?
Race would be irrelevant to the discussion of socialized medicine —- except that racists like OhBummer and Watson hide behind their race as a ruse for SHUTTING UP their critics. The OhBummer Wrecking Crew are supposed to be allowed to shove their “gift” of socialized medicine up our bxtts and we’re supposed to SHUT UP because they are black —- and therefore they should be immune from criticism. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Phony Baloney!
It is not an isolated incident for DAMs party. There may be 99% of DAMs and liberals pay high regards to Communist Castro. They may prefer communisms to our capitalism as well.
Some moron just touted Cuban life expectancy?! Now you know that cheap murderer Castro hasn’t been using the crappy Cuban socialized medicine scheme to put a rosy touch of color in his cheeks again. Oh, no. The Cuban socialized medicine scheme is for the suckers who haven’t yet found a way to blow him up. Castro has been using a team of “real” doctors to restore his health. What is the life expectancy of a Cuban who stands up in public and denounces the Castro scumbags and calls for their overthrow? Five minutes? Five hours? Five days? The Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Cuba —- or whatever name the Castro despotism now uses —- practices torture — so they might keep the captive dissident in this example alive for quite some time, trying to find out who his or her friends are. OK —- and how abour the Cubans who climb aboard a fkg postage stamp and sail it to Florida — what’s their life expectancy? In short, dear reader, in this immediate discussion we have two enemies right here and right now —- the Castro dictatorship —- and the scumbags who defend the Castro dictatorship and would love to impose a similar tyranny on the rest of us.
you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, or even lead your country to prosperity to be a great leader. Castro,Stalin, even Hitler were brilliant leaders that molded their small countries into superpowers of their time. Their intentions may not have been correct, but that doesn’t mean that they were “Antichrists” or “devils advocates”. they were simply men doing what was best to their countries.
but the one thing that suprises me the most is that hundreds of people can sit on blog and reiterate the same garbage about how Obama is evil and we need to “act up and fight” against a government that in the end is our protector.
what a dumbass! let’s get her a ticket to cuba. i’m pretty sure we could swap her for a cuban who would tell the truth about cuba’s healthcare system and comrad fidel.
I’ve been to cuba and i am not offended. Of course most people in this country who have not traveled are disturbed by this. This is what traveling is about, opening the mind and forming opinions by actually seeing things (sorry religeous people). People should look at countries and people from around the world as being different from what another, not better or worse as most rednecks think. Its unfair to just critisize the cuban system when i ive seen many capitalist and democratic countries much more depressing than cuba ie mexico, india, and many more. I look forward to the day when american policy in this country is not shaped or voted for by non traveled, racist, closed minded selfish idiots that think we are entitled to anything we want just because we think we are the best. wheres my soy latte
What a sack of trash this Congresswoman Watson is! Here is how f’n brilliant Castro is:
“On Thursday, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro accused the United States of seeking to “eliminate” Venezuela’s leftist government and amass power in South America through a controversial deal allowing it access to military bases in Colombia.
Castro said the real US objective in Colombia was to “eliminate the revolutionary process” begun by Chavez, a key Cuban ally, and to “gain control of the oil and other natural resources in Venezuela.”
Someone needs to tell Fidel he has no need to fear, Comrade Obama is here!
This youtube song immediately came to my mind.
This is what the progressives Dream about
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmNSEbgt1Dg
I’m just a dumb racist honkey, but I wonder if she’d care to explain why Fidel had to import Spanish doctors and medical equipment when he got SERIOUSLY sick?
This women would make a perfect poster child for the modern Democrat. What a piece of trash. But the really sad part is she gets elected for saying things like this. That means a majority of her consitutents think like SHE does. How pathetic is that?
Markos,
Let’s get a few things straight. First of all I am a political Independent,
refusing to support or belong to any political party.
Second, my opinions are based on life experience and working in the medical area
longer than you’ve been toilet trained.
I also come from a city that has been destroyed by union greed. The only “whiney”
Americans are these unions who think the world owes them and who are the Democrat
Party’s most loyal supporters. They’re presently on the verge of destroying the
economy of another city near me except the employer is threatening to fire them all
and move to a more tax friendly state and hire non union workers.
I well remember when India and China, both socialist controlled, were basket cases.
Capitalism is what is responsible for their prosperity. People can use their ingenuity and
are willing to work hard. These countries do not have unions to deal with, just
people who want to work and earn. They invite foreign investment and when these
companies can go somewhere that makes it economically worthwhile and there are
people willing to work hard, they go. Just like the above mentioned company I said
would go to another state. Its economics 101 Markos, not rocket science. Give a
business friendly environment and people willing to work hard and you will have
prosperity. Being like the Democrat run state I come from that wants to “punish”
big business and the rich and let union greed run amuck, and you have a state that’s
an economic sinkhole.
I’ve see how insurance, medicaid, and medicare are badly abused by those who think
they are getting something for nothing. People sue thinking they’re sticking it to
the insurance companies. Guess who the insurance companies pass the cost on to?
Bingo.
If you want to keep medical costs down have insurance only for catastrophic illness
and free market and competition otherwise. As long as there are third party payers
like the gov’t or insurance, costs will skyrocket. Maybe a little tort reform
wouldn’t hurt either.
Yes India combines surgery and tourism. Its called capitalism. It does wonders
for the economy. It gives people jobs. South Africa has cosmetic surgery and safaris.
Its called capitalism, it gives people jobs. The Chinese love SUVs. Being the
gov’t has allowed for more economic freedom, i.e. capitalism the Chinese are becoming
more prosperous. In fact they were lecturing our fearless leader Obama on being
a more responsible capitalist! What a hoot!
Maybe if Castro followed the example of the formerly socialist Indians and Chinese
the Cuban people wouldn’t have to ration toilet paper.
Markos,
I worked with many of these foreign doctors and you know why they came to the US?
To escape gov’t controlled economies and the resulting economic stagnation and relentless
poverty.
Medical care is cheaper in India? Tell me, do Indians sue their doctors right and
left, hoping to rake in millions from insurance companies? Do moronic juries grant
them millions for frivulous lawsuits? Do Indians take more responsibility for
their own health, i.e. better eating and activity, which too many Americans do not?
Markos, of course I can counter your silly, childish arguments. And I have no wish to counter your silly childish name calling. However, you are still a fool. A Marxist fool.
Why are we so afraid of Cuba? Do they pose a military threat to us? Hardly likely. More likely that our leaders are afraid that some of their ideas might just be good ones. Can’t have that now can we?
Markos, I just read your insightful post, thanks for that interesting perspective. I am afraid that it will be pretty much ignored or trashed my the undereducamated Bush supporters that inhabit this area.
Obama He said what he was going to do. No One listened. Corrupt in Washington like none other in history. Where is the F.B.I. to investigate Acorn. These people like Van Jones are they C.B. I. checked? They are trying to hurry before the stupid American’s catch on. Our Tax money in trillions given to groups to do What? like our service people? what the hell is this? To help coward Obama pound his agenda down our throats. Pelosi is a nut case,They have sure planned well & use smoke screens while they plot & plan how to cream us over at everyturn.TAX TAX TAX get all $ then shoot us or what???????
We need to call out comments like this…did she know that Cuba rounded up those with aids and put them in detention center? that the rich pay for better, faster care under the table? in some hospitals you have to furnish your own basic items like sheets?
This stupid old sow needs to pack her happy a** right on over to Cuba and stay there and and she needs to take the dirt bags that elected her along. Ever since the election of Obama, these cock roaches have crawled out of the woodwork and are scuttling around all over everything. How pathetic!
Clearly, these Congressional Black Caucus members were payed off on their visit in April 09 to say these types of things about a communist country or maybe thats just what they believe we Americans ought to be, under communist rule!
Maybe they were all given ocean front condos for their visit?
Qualtrough,
How about naming some of those great Cuban ideas that we are so afraid of.
“Destroy a President who looks like me.” Actually, not. Mr. Obama is reasonably good looking.
wow anyone check the iq’s of people who voted this blow hard in?
If you and your ilk think Cuba is so great then move there, we don’t need you!!! See if your comments and protest are allowed when you open that pie hole of yours.
Rather than condemn her, we should celebrate and revel in the comments of this demented lady. When she and her ilk take over, no one with views outside the party line will be allowed to speak (a perk already enjoyed by the comrades of the Cuban Utopia). Then we can look back fondly at the good old days when everyone could speak their mind, even those with only half a mind.
Pigtrough,
FYI Bush is not President anymore. The Marxist fascist al-Qaeda sympathizer, Hugo Chavez wanna be dictator, B Hussein Obama, is.
She needs to run with a brighter crowd!
I voted for her because she looks like me.
Hmmm, I love her anti-America pro Marxist leanings. I could use another Afrocentric government hack who could promote my policies that will ruin America. This is my revenge for all the people of color. I, Barry Obama, will place Czars in power who are minority radicals or Progressives who will further the destruction of America. Wait till I censor the internet and radio! Your leader, Barry.
Castro is one of the brightest leaders she has met? I wonder how many leaders she has met altogether? And just because you are bright, doesn’t make you a good leader. Actions speak louder than words and Cuba is a wreck. Obama is bright too, so were many nut cases who rose to power in the midst of crisis.
How do these people get elected? Are we all insane?
She makes Maxine Waters look like a genius. This nightmare has to be stopped one way or another.
Dear Ms. Congresswoman,
There is a reason why Miami is Cuban.
Her lack of knowledge about facts regarding the Cuban revolution are simply amazing. This was no simple gaffe either. Just type “Cuban revolution” in to the search engine of your choice and you will be able to click on a link with enough information to show how out of touch with fact this lady is. Castro was one of the leaders of the revolution, not some citizen approached by Che after Batista was removed from power and asked to lead the country. Castro was responsible for the revolution!
Her misrepresentation of simple facts such as this should frighten her constituents to death. If she is this misinformed about someone she praises, and about something that takes a quick Internet search to become informed about, how can anyone trust anything she does in Washington is based on an informed decision? If she has this worldview based on non-fact, how can we trust that she is competent enough to be in any position of power where her decisions affect the livlihood of other people? If she can’t even get historical events correct, how can we trust she knows what she is talking about when she tells us to accept this healthcare bill?
When was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? Have you EVER read the Declaration of Independence?
An excerpt: “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.”
To see the entire document: http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/freedom/doi/text.html
It is astounding how so few can demoralize so many in the name of “Government”. Do you truly feel they are working for you? NO, they are only there to satisfy their own agenda, their own self-interests. It is our duty, our responsibility, to remove the despots and install representatives who represent US!
WAKE UP AMERICA! 2010 is just around the corner. Let your voices be heard! VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD, NOT WITH YOUR HEART!
There should be term limits on every elected official, not just the POTUS. We need to clean house, open the windows, and let some fresh air in.
Back in 1776, The People demonstrated that they had had enough. They got rid of tyranny, oppression and dictatorship. They revolted. If not for these brave, intelligent men, we would not be the USA. We would not be free. We would not enjoy the freedom we now have…although it’s hard to say how much longer we will have it. If we continue to let our “representatives” in Washington have THEIR way, our lives as we know it will come to an end. Is that what we truly want? THINK ABOUT IT. Educate yourself. The mainstream media is not telling you the whole story. Learn. Get involved. Write to your reps. Tell them you’re pissed off and you’ve had enough!
If enough of us do this, we will win back our country and the freedoms we used to have.
We are the majority. They work for us. They swore to uphold the constitution of the United States. Do you really think that’s what they are doing?
ACT. VOTE. DO THE RIGHT THING. IF NOT FOR YOURSELF, DO IT FOR YOUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ULTIMATELY WILL PAY.
Markos,
Just so you know. In the wee hours of Sunday morning, around 2am, I responded to your posts that were addressed to me. My comments are still awaiting “moderation” so please keep an eye out for them. I hope they get posted today.
She should be required to give up her Congressionally provided Health Care and be required to have all her Health Care provided in Cuba. This would be a good test case — If she gets better care in Cuba all Congressmen and Senators etc government personnel receiving that costly bad US care, should be required to give up their government provided way too costly care for Cuban Care.
She is so ignorant and clueless she doesn’t realize she is a communist. She is a product of the great society education system and her constituency in the moron community elects her because they are racist. While “they” have been somewhat dormant for decades there is no question, they have gone active and we are now living a revolution unlike any we have seen in our era. Virtually every great American institution is under attack. Revolution occurred in Cuba in the late 50’s, although it was violent, this one I would say is even worst because it is non-violent type that it creeps up just like in the “frog in the water pot analogy”.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
There is nothing written to preclude America from vanishing. Except YOU!! Its up to each and everyone of us to fight for what we believe in and speak out where ever we are where ever we go.
Take America back from the socialist/communist. before it is irreversible.
Markos,
How much does that $5 dollar doctor visit in India cost for an Indian when the exchange rate is taken into account? What percentage of the monthly income for an Indian is a $5 doctor visit? How comparable to a $200 visit in the US is that $5 visit in India to an Indians checking account? What will happen to the cost of that visit once ambulance chasing lawyer’s jobs are lost to India? How much do doctors pay in insurance protection from malpractice lawsuits in India? Life expectancy is due to more factors than just the quality of a nation’s healthcare system by the way.
Simplified,
An excellent point. $5.00 to an average Indian might be the equivalent of $200.00 to the average American. Standard of living and monthly income must be taken into account.
Also, such factors as more healthful eating and activity. I’m still shocked when I encounter intelligent educated people who see no connection between their morbid obesity and their myriad of health problems. Or people who have plenty of money for drugs, cigarettes, booze, dogs, junk food, and cable TV but can’t pay their light bill or find the time or money for a doctor visit.
Just another liberal democrat who wants a Cuba or Venezuela style revolution in America.
Hey dumb ass lady, Castro had to go to Spain for medical treatments!!!
Another usefull idiot! FREE Bandaids and Asprin do not make quality health care.
Steve,
I wonder if the black and mixed race Cubans also have the option of Spanish doctors that white massa Castro has.
I would suggest this congressperson and her supports move right on over to Cuba. I’m sure Castro has a few unairconditioned, bathroom free, tin roof shacks he can free up. Firing squads are entertaining no matter who you are!
It’s pretty easy to give everyone health care when you only worry about those whose backs prop up the government. Children and especially the old need not apply.
I don’t understand how any country that can’t conquer indoor plumbing should be the bell weather for anything.
Send her to Cuba!
Get use to her. She will be re-elected over and over again by her constituency. No matter how ignorant, corrupt or anti-american she behaves. She has a job for life and knows it. In your face crackers!
This has to be a Republican plant. Not even a liberal or a democrat could be this stupid.
Can’t add to anything that hasn’t already been said here. This moron in the Congress is another example of the failure of government schools — not only here, but the idiots who voted for her.
Her intelligence and intellect are obviously not the reasons she was elected. Just looking at her photo ………. gee, I can’t see anything that caused people in her district to consider her to be qualified ……. oh wait ……….. nah, I can’t suggest that, because it would be racist.
wth…she has a phd?

@Jonathan August 29th, 2009 – 6:42 am
You are absolutely correct. Unless something is done about the actual source of this diseased mentality, idiots like this will continue to get reelected election after election, regardless of term limits or if a non-incumbant runs.
Here are other “bright” leaders lady: Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao. This lady is so naive that she cannot see how Fidel and now together with Chavez, have been pumping drugs into inner city Black neighborhoods for decades. Or maybe she gets a cut.
And people applaud? “”Che” Guevara “kicked out the wealthy”? Well, maybe he should come back and start with the US Congress Democrats. Democrats have more millionaires and wealthy among them than Republicans. Che guevara killed hundreds, thousands of people without due process. What Che did was eliminate the middle class in Cuba, the most prosperous, liberal and progressive middle class in Latin America. He was Fidel’s henchman to eliminate the social democrats, and even the Cuban Socialist Party (PSP) and installed the Communist Party of Cuba through a massive purge. Thousands of honest people ended in jail or shot. Homosexuals were put in concentration camps by Che. He even prohibited blue jeans, rock music and long hair. When Fidel was done with him he turned him over to the CIA together with the Russians.
Cuba is ranked 39th and the US is ranked 37th by the WHO. So, close but no Cigar there Congresswoman. She probably got this impression from watching Michael Moore’s Sicko, and entirely unbiased expose of the broken US Healthcare industry. I will say that it is pretty sad that we are 37th on the list, but comparison’s to Cuba are no way to bring people to your side in the debate. Try again.
Who is so stupid that they would elect this lady to any office? Come on voters do a little bit of research. She shouldn’t be allowed to work the window at the DMV
I was in Cuba in 2001. Their health care system is effective for very basic stuff. My companion, who is type 1 diabetic, noticed many people with amputated limbs and found, in many cases, it a result of primitive diabetic treatments. She also visited with a couple local doctors. Her opinion – she would be dead today if faced with the Cuban system for her health care. Seemed to me you would be fine with Cuban system for colds and flu. Dead with serious ailments like diabetes, cancer, etc. Also, individuals with conditions like down syndrome seem to fall through the cracks. They stand on corners filthy and begging. Let’s face it – people who go and are shown the paper thin medical veneer of Cuba’s system by Fidel himself are going to think it is not bad. These whirlwind diplomatic “tours” are so political and PR based I am surprised some of our politicians think them legitimate. Including this crap in our debate over health care is crazy. This lady needs to spend a few weeks with the people of Cuba in a private situation away from Cuban officials before she comments in any way.
A good reason why public schools need to be privatized. How on earth can someone be so stupid? Unfortunately, Democrats love the dictators of communist and socialist countries.
They are no longer a political party in my view…instead, they are an enemy of the United States.
Thank God! I am so grateful to have been illuminated by another brilliant graduate of the LA public school system and LA City College, serving us all since 2001 in the US Congress. Why are you all beating up on her! She has done us all a great service by providing an outstanding example of the intelligence, erudation, and wisdom guiding this Congress in their efforts to remake America in their image. My vote for “poster child for Intelligence in the 110th US Congress.” With representatives as capable as this one, is it any wonder why our country is going in the direction that it is?
Mary,
You may claim that you are an independent, but you are spouting right wing talk radio here.
Now let us assume that India and China were basket cases before they adopted capitalism (which is incorrect because India always had a mix of capitalism and socialism to this day) and all their prosperity is due to “dog eat dog” capitalism. If so, how can you explain countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Pakistan that got out of colonial rule about the same time as India and China and were staunch allies of US during cold-war and followed capitalism from day one couldn’t match India or China?
The answer is that India and China were able to provide the basic necessities of their population (like education, healthcare) in the early years which put them on a path to benefit tremendously from globalization. After all, if there are no computer science graduates in India, how can they do softwar exports? How did a basket case country become an economic powerhouse just because they adpted capitalism, because if that is the case countries like Indonesia or Philippines or Chile should have prospered more than India because they were practising a “purer’ form of capitalism as defined by america longer. Less said about the american ally Pakistan, the better which is a true basket case after 60 years of capitalism and religious fundamentalism (which may be the warning for US, as US I fear is headed down that road with nutty religious extremists in republican party controlling it. Sarah Palin is the true manifestation of that symptom)
Even this day, Walmart can not operate in India because India wants to protect domestic retailers. Similarly AT&T is not anywhere in the cell phone revolution happening in India because Indian companies are operating in that market. So those governments are ensuring that their citizens are taken care of first before americans unlike the corporate owned government of US. Americans were the suckers that exported good paying jobs to India and China in return for practically NOTHING (well, except for the housing bubble financed by chinese money).
My neighbour is a doctor from India. He paid around $300 for his entire medical education in a good university in India because govt subsidized his education. That is one of the reasons why certain states in India are able to achieve better life expectancy, comparable to US. Some of those states have govt run health care facilities like UK (along with private institutions). Same for education institutions. So there are better checks and balances in those countries.
Ironicaly during my last visit to India in the state of Kerala, I realized that very few people there have health insurance, they pay the costs out of pocket and they didn’t feel that they need a support system like insurance because they have true choices. I didn’t hear about people losing their home because of illness. If you can not afford to go to a prvate hospital, there is a public hospital(some of which have very good standards) which actually keeps the costs in check for private hospitals. No wonder their life expectancy and infant mortality rates are almost the same as US, with a fraction of the cost.
Someone brought up the factor of exchange rate. Based on what I described above, even after factoring in the exchange rate, it doesn’t take away a significant portion of one’s income.Otherwise, insurance would have become a lot more prevalent in those countries, as a backup. If I had to spend $400 for ankle sprain which may be 10% of averge monthly income in US, but the $4.75 somone else paid in india is a lot smaller percentage of their income. They probably have a lot fewer law suits, but that is a marginal difference as even after capping malpractice suits in some states, costs continue to skyrocket because of mismanaged insurance system.
That is what we need in this country. Let us subsidize teh medical education to some extent, provide a true public option that can contain the costs nd compete with insurance companies and implement some tort reforms. In the process, if private insurance goes belly up, so be it. After all, under true capitalist system, if you can not compete, you should go out of business, right? In US, there is no true alternative/choice to existing insurance racket, often blue-cross has over 50% share in some markets.
Reason for insurance companies to be afraid of public option is that, under the covers, insurance companies are very inefficient. It is one of the least efficient and productive sector of our economy. Based my experience in dealing with insurance and providers, I can vouch for the fact that they should have some of the worst computer systems and processes.
Once it took 8 weeks for United Healthcare to process one of my claims properly and even in the end, they couldn’t follow a simple instruction to send teh check to me since I had already paid the provider, and it took another 6 weeks for the provider to mail me the check. I know IRS can process my refund a lot quicker than that. Then I leaned that United Healthcare was fined by 38 states for claims processing irregularities and no wonder private insurers have a 30% overhead.
Wow. I wonder why Senator Ted Kennedy didn’t go to Havana General for his brain cancer surgery?
Give me a break.
Thanks Drudge and Breitbart, to keeps us informed. You always will be attacked, by pseudo brainwashed “intellectuals”. You can go to the best colleges in the world.You can, by memory pass all your exams,but intellect and wise judgement can not be acquired at any price.
Cuba, the land that demonstrates that liberal demoractic policies do work.
Wonder why the “efficient” private insurance industry morons are scared of public option?
http://triad.bizjournals.com/triad/stories/2008/07/21/daily31.html
“The Insurance Department said Thursday that the fine of $786,656 settles alleged issues about the way United Health processed claims, the way it handled customer complaints, and other business matters.
The settlement is not part of a high-profile agreement that 38 states and the District of Columbia signed earlier this year with UnitedHealthcare
In 2004, the company agreed to pay $2.2 million to settle what the state claimed were “systematic problems” with its claims processing, Pearson says”
This is what Ditto headss in this forum wants americans to subsidize – INEFFICIENCY. I can attest personally for the claim processing errors at UHC as I was a victim.
I don’t think my comments in this forum is going to change thinking on the part of anyone, as I can see from the rants in this forum, most of the right-wing nuts here are ignoramuses who had scant exposure to other countries or cultures. This ignornace, not Obama’s spending, is going to accelerate america’s flight to irrelevance.
And they continue digging their own graves…..
I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read an idiotic response about torture in cuba, considering Abu-Gharib and other torture schemes conjured by Bush and the jerk-in-chief Cheney.
Americans idiots talking about torture in cuba will drive their Korean SUV to the wal-mart to fill it with trunk load of chinese made c*ap and later put $100 worth of gas from Saudi(from where 9/11 hijackers came from, not iraq- for the conservative idiots who still think saddam was behind 9/11). Yes, the same china that perpetuated tiananmen square and occupied Tibet and still torture the tibetan citizens!! Talk about HYPOCRISY!!
But americans can not say anything about China as China has america by their balls. Bush and Cheney mortgaged american future to China with the aid of wallstreet that facilitated teh flow of chinese reserves into US housing bubble to the tune of $2 Trillion (amount of chinese foreign reserves). Even if China takes over Taiwan tomorrow, american can do little for the same reason.
It looks like cold-war, which was briefly suspended due to demise of Soviet Union, will be ultimately won by China. Thanks to conservative idiots starting with Ronald Reagan through Sarah palin.
Mary,
I want to correct a few myths that you were peddling earlier
India has unions. The state of kerala which has a life expectancy and other human development factors comparable to US, has plenty of unions. As a matter of fact,Kerala was the first place in the world where a communist party came to power through a democractic process. It doesn’t look like they suffered terribly because of that. Again, most americans have very little knowledge about the outside world other than what they hear from talk radio and idiot box aka TV. As a matter of fact, one may be able to have a more intelligent conversation about issues outside US than in US.
Compared to that China may not have unions, but remember there is no free-speech rights in China. Are you saying that you prefer a chinese example because they curtail free-speech and freedom to organize? Let me remind you, in China, all birthers and Dick Armey’s freedom-workers would have been thrown into prison before they organized their first protest. I find it really funny when I see americans praising China and then condemning cuba for human right abuses when the fact is that human right abuses in China is far worse than that of Cuba. US can afford to do an economic embargo against Cuba because cuba is a very small, yet we can not do it against china because we have reached a stage where we can not live without chinese goods financed by chinese reserves.
Now let me say that I agree with a few points you have made in your post like
– taking responsibility for ones own health
– Limiting insurance to catastrophic illness, so that the medical costs becomes more transparent to users which will foster competition. But the main issue here is that catastrophic illness from an “ability to pay” could be different for each person.
– Better disease management and preventive care
Castro CHANGED the democratic process in Cuba and imposed and enslaved the cuban people,without a lawful elections,he accussed the USA of all kind of names. Imperialists, thieves,exploiters of cuban resources and so on..but how the story teller Castro end his little fable. Well he sold Cuba to he russians.The same Russia who enslaved millions of her own people and chained them for years. The same Russia who created their own torture chambers and Gulags, as centers of Aparteid for the dissidents of the communist beloved Motherland., and ladies and gentlemens that is the same system that they claimed is going to make us, americans, free. Capitalism for Castro and his enforcers, Communism for the rest of the world.
Let freedom ring an ignoramus american right wing nut wrote
“Castro CHANGED the democratic process in Cuba and imposed and enslaved the cuban people,without a lawful elections,he accussed the USA of all kind of names”
STUPID AMERICAN, do you know that Batista who ruled Cuba before castro was not a democrat, but a dictator (he used to be supported by communist party of cuba initially) who usured power, but was recognized by republicans like Eisenhower and Nixon? No wonder insurance companies and right wingers are getting so many USEFUL IDIOTS for their cause, because average american like this “let freedom ring” is incapable of seeing anything beyond rhetoric!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgencio_Batista
“Fulgencio Batista y ZaldĂvar (January 16, 1901 – August 6, 1973) was a Cuban general, President, and U.S.-backed dictator.
Batista ousted outgoing President Carlos PrĂo Socarrás, cancelled the elections and assumed government as “provisional president.” Shortly after taking power by force the United States government recognized his regime
An American journalist David Detzer, who visited Havana in the 1950’s, described the scene thusly:
“ Brothels flourished. A major industry grew up around them: Government officials received bribes, policemen collected protection money. Prostitutes could be seen standing in doorways, strolling the streets, or leaning from windows. One report estimated that 11,500 of them worked their trade in Havana. Beyond the outskirts of the capital, beyond the slot machines, was one of the poorest, and most beautiful countries in the Western world
”
American govt used to support dictators all over the world(including Saddam) to further US interests even if it is to the detriment of people living in those countries. Before castro, american puppet Batista ran prostitution rings and gambling with the help of mafia.
Conservative fools, is batista your ideal democrat? No wonder US was able to support dictators in Indonesia, Iraq, Chile, Philippines, Congo etc. while opposing democratic governments in countries like India. Read some history by utilizing your broadband connections, baffoons. The world is getting tired of sheer american stupidity.
To Markos,
I LIVE in a developing country in Africa that was once under socialism. IT DID NOT WORK!! You are nuts!! I didn’t work here or any where else. I also have friends who live in India in various places. You paint a very limited dumb picture of the reality in India. Mother Therissa would have had nothing to do in Calcutta if the health care system was so great.
What are you smoking dude?
Moron “let freedom ring” also talked about “as centers of Aparteid”
Do you know that apartheid was a segragation system practiced in racist south africa that imprisoned mandela? Do you also know that your beloved jerk of a leader Dick Cheney voted against a motion urging the relase of Nelson mandela while Cheney served in the US Congress?
Do you (like most other right-wing nuts) have any frikking idea what you are vomiting in forums like these? If America is in decline, it is because of people like you with zero knowledge of facts other than rhetoric.
Now go back to listening to Limbaugh and Beck to make sure that you won’t be able to think logically
What is wrong with this woman did she ever finish the 2nd grade what a dumb B…. and getting to be more typical of your commie .It is hard to think anyone with more than a high school education could even think of voting for such a POS oh but they voted for obuma so that explains it all.Send her and obuma and the rest of the dems to Cuba.
Cubas health care system is worse that ours according to the World Heatlh Org.
We’re listed #37 they are #39. All in all not too bad for a tiny communist country.
Batista was a Dictator and a Tyrant he has to flee Cuba because the whole population abhored him. But the free cuban people never thought or had in mind that the blood of so many martyrs were going to be shed to sat a communist activist , neither,to gave power to a bigger tyrant, as criminal as Batista was. And let us remind to all Castro defenders ,that Batista was a member of the Communist Party, long before Castro even born. Read cuban History and the knowledge we’ll make yo free. Insults and ignorance won’t change the facts. The communist always love to kill the messengers of bad news.
We live in the a very Scary time. There is a strong movement a foot.
I love the America we grew up in. I dont want Cuba style govt here. If you want it. Move there.
We believe in a constution. We believe in our founders. We believe in ourselves, not govt
Hey Markos–First– give me one example of American government torturing Americans in America. People like you are so blinded by your own hatred that you can’t see any side but your own side. Your party is as responsible for America’s financial collapse as anyone-Clinton was in bed with China during his 8 years—- You can’t be serious— to try to put the entire blame on Bush for the housing and financial collapse–You are either ignorant or disingenuous. This was was the result of years of missteps in the financial industry going back to the Carter years. Loaning people money to buy houses they can’t afford was and still is a bad idea. Just because the bubble burst right before the 2008 election (How convenient for Obama–maybe you should look a little more into the timing of all of that) doesn’t mean Bush caused it all (he didn’t) And do you really think that Wall Street is comprised of Republicans?? Give me a break! In the 2008 campaign -Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers and elsewhere put their cash behind Clinton, Obama and John Edwards over the Republican front-runners, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings. At Goldman Sachs, the largest of the firms, employees donated $542,000 to the top three Democrats and the top three Republicans from Jan. 1 through June 30. 2007
More than 63 percent of those dollars went to Democrats, with Obama getting the bulk of that cash — $184,750
Democratic-Leaning Companies
UBS: 72.7 percent to Democrats
Citi group: 66.6 percent to Democrats
Goldman Sachs: 63.4 percent to Democrats
Lehman Brothers: 63 percent to Democrats
Morgan Stanley: 54 percent to Democrats
Did you get that?
So Markos, Who is behind greedy Wall Street??? Sounds like those greedy rich Democrats to me!
Take a look at some of your Democrat leaders—Charlie Rangle,Chris Dodd, Barney Frank—Three of the biggest phonies and crooks in Washington—but they can apparently lie better and yell louder than their critics and fool Democrat constituents like you into keeping them in office so they can keep lining their pockets. Our political system has become so corrupt that the people no longer have any faith in either party as they stand. We need a cleansing in Washington. If you think your bunch in D.C.(including Obama) really care about the well being of Americans over themselves(I just fell off my chair over the thought of it) think again. The Democratic Party has suppressed their voting block and fooled them into thinking that they are incapable of bettering themselves on their own. We need less Government and more accountability. The LAST thing we need is a complete take over of our Health system by the government!
This woman can’t even get her history straight. Castro was the leader of the Cuban Revolution from the start (Moncada Barracks attack in 1953). He met Che Guevara in Mexico in 1955 and brought him back to Cuba in 1956. Che was always subordinate to Fidel in the revolution. Che commanded columns of troops. Fidel commanded Che and the other column commanders. Then there is this problem: During the revolution Castro promised free elections in Cuba within 18 months of taking over the government. Fifty years later, still no free elections. What he did do was use force and the threat of force on the Cuban people to impose his will on them. Obama promised a transparent government when he was elected. Haven’t seen any of that either. And he is trying to impose his will on America with cap and trade and health care. Not hard to understand why this woman feels the need to defend both.
How on earth do these people keep getting elected ?
I think we have hit the absolute lowest stupidity in congress. She needs to be recalled by here district for espousing a belief in a communist country and believing it to be better than ours. The people who voted her in should rise up and get railroad her out of Washington. Get ready folks it time to stand up and tar and feather her and the other supporters of communist socialism.
Amerika! Land of the formerly free.
What a stupid bitch!! I am a victim of the Cuban healthcare system. At age two, after waiting for many hours to see the only dermatologist around for several miles, standing in line in the heat, my young parents turn arrived and they explained that I had these strange marks on my face that other docs were not sure if it was due to chicken-pox because I had no other symptoms. The so-called dermatologist took me, without my parents permission (they were 20 and 23 years old at the time). As my parents waited, and in horror heard my screams through the closed doors, this dermatologist cauterized my skin lesions, which would have probably healed on their own. All he needed to offer was an opinion. However, in countries with socialized medicine it does not matter if you are a qualified physician. You work for the government and you fill a vacancy like any other typical incompetent government worker. In socialized systems, there are no checks and balances. In socialized systems, there are no law suits or complaints. In socialized systems, there are a lot of made up statistics that are then regurgitated by international bodies without any supportive evidence. So today, as I live as a naturalized U.S. citizen (because my parents had the foresight to leave Cuba, legally in 1980, with visas in tow before the plane even landed), I still have the scars on my face from the painful cauterizations given to me by a so called dermatologist from Castro’s socialized healthcare system that this fucken bitch wants to bring to the U.S. She hates the wealthy, she implies, as she defends the admitted murdere Che Guevara… Well she actually hates the middle class with money, those that worked hard for their incomes and are therefore reluctant to give it away so readily. She hates those with money that won’t just give it away to her pet causes, while she hides hers in off-shore accounts, like every typical liberal. This fucken bitch needs to be taken out of office one way or another. She is a huge danger to our country.
This woman has a brick for a brain. So the Argentine Che Guevara was the “liberator” of Cuba, and he “found” Fidel “among the population”? Perhaps she should ask for briefing by the CIA so she can find out how the Cuban Revolution came about. In the meanwhile, she will shame the US to no end, besides being a “useful idiot” to rob us of our Freedom and Liberty. I guess that she does not mind being a slave of the Government.
If anyone wants to see the “Great Hospitals” that “the most intelligent” communist leader has built for Cuba, and what now Obama wants to build for us, here they are. These people are beyond reason.

Isn’t Socialism a Glorious System?
The Afro-Cubans are the most die-hard supporters of Communism in Cuba. It is not surprising that it is blacks in this country who want to bring Communism here. Scary, but not surprising.
Debbie, great post!
Markos,
Apartheid was a system in S.Africa and Republican Cheney voted against the release of Mandela?
Gee Markos, did you know segregation(apartheid) in the old American south was instituted by Democrats? Did you know the KKK was founded as the terrorist arm of the Democrat Party?
Did you know the Democrat Party was the pro-slavery party?
Are you aware it was a Democrat president, that icon Franklin Roosevelt, that put American citizens of color(Japanese Americans) into concentration camps, after confiscating their businesses and property?
Ever hear of George”segregation forever”Wallace? He was a Democrat. How about Bull Connor, the police chief responsible for turning fire hoses and attack dogs on black civil rights demonstrators? He was a Democrat.
The Civil and Voting Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 were passed by the power of Democrat President Lyndon Johnson and the help he got from Republicans. Democrats were too busy filibustering.
Had Democrats had their way, black Americans would have spent more time at the back of the bus and away from the voting booth.
Oh, and one of those filibustering senators, Democrat Robert Byrd, former klansman and klan recruiter, has remained in the US Senate to this day. Democrats apparently had no issue with him.
This is really funny….
I would love to see her move to cuba and run her mouth like she does in the USA.
We would not be seeing much of her after that.
She said a mouthful “…say what you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leader I have ever met.” I guess that does not say much about the people she congregates with. Looks like the congresswoman praises Che Gueverra and Fidel. So does the Kenyan President.
Congresswoman Watson,
Well, some people used to say the exact kind things about “Il Duce” Mussolini…
Only a faccia di culo could admire such men…
Whoever the world knows Castro and Mussolini are examples of despotic dictators…
Caio
What an ignorant socialist pig to praise a communist tyrant. Never mind the human right violations, the socialist system does not work you fool. I am so disgusted by your rationalization of a system that oppresses the mind and spirit. Even when Fidel had his recent life threatning surgery they had to bring a surgeon from Spain.. not Cuba. !!
THE ONLY GOOD COMMUNIST IS A DEAD COMMUNIST. My concern is that I am not sure if there are more communist/socialist in the USA than in Cuba.
Of course Fidel praises our new government…they share the same ideologies. !!!WAKE UP AMERIKA !!!
Where is Bob Dornan when we need him. Anyone who thinks a communist dictatorship is a good thing is an enemy of America. When the leaders of the nation knew and understood that the American Revolution was fought to be free of dictators like Fidel Castro, Ms.Diane Watson would have been frog marched to the nearest gallows. We need to re-establish the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities and purge the commies before they destroy our nation.
If this lady is for really real and she’s legally sane, then all I can say, especially to those of you who elected her to office, you get as good as you got. And, considering the pathetic state you Californians have let yourselves wallow in, why right now a dictator ought to look good to you…obviously 99.999% of you are incapable of logical thinking and displaying individual incentive or personal creativity. We here in Texas, along with some other states are investigating our options under the Constitution to secede from the Union. Californians might consier it before the Union forces you to uh, well, get lost.
There’s no fool like a Marxist fool! I think Lenin called them “useful idiots.”
I think that along with a covenant/promise to get our country OUT of debt, the most important character trait for a Congressional candidate should be a firm belief in the Constitution and a dedication to our Country. People like this DO NOT BELONG in CONGRESS!!!
Wow she was elected into office,.. Those of you that did that know how you must vote this time around!!…. No more queens or kings, no more people that look up to communist in history, no more elites. We need people in these positions that have run a business, people that know what a gallon of milk cost, people that are “like me and you”, normal working americans… This lady plays the race card like its an “uno” game, when these issues are not about race. Real america needs to wake up and take this country back into a direction everyone can be proud of again. We are a nation of doers, not takers – lets remember that people!!!! Sad we have lost our way,…. Please for everyones future take back control of these elected officals.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!!
What a MORON! This dirtbag women is a complete fool. Wake up America, your country is under assault by people who are not fit to be called an American! You people who voted the marxist BHO into office need to read U.S. history to understand what the Founding Fathers wanted and crafted for a nation meant to lead human potential. This dirtbag and her president MUST be voted out of office!
As Lincoln said, “you can fool some of the people, all of the time”.
GO TO GENERATION Y and see How BAD the system is really….
http://www.desdecuba.com/generationy/
God Protect Us!! Thank You Amen
Just vote them all out next round of elections.
This representative Diane Watson has no idea what she is talking about. Just this morning I heard a pastor from Cuba reporting on church growth under Castro’s oppresion. He told a story that really had nothing to do with health care, but rather how God is calling the people of Cuba to himself. In doing so, he described how a mother who could not get an anitbiotic for her son “because medicine is so scare here,” prayed for him. Ultimately the boy became well, and the mother joined the throngs in Cuba that are turning to the Lord despite communist oppression. The striking part of this for me was the pastor’s descripton of the lack of medicine in “what Fidel Castro has built there,” as the representaive breathlessly states. Given that the pastor described as an aside that which he had been living with under Castro in a report where health care was not at all an issue and for which he had no axe to grind, the representative seems to me to either not know what she is talking about, or is a fool, or is lying. Maybe a bit of all this.
Mary,
Apparently it seems you stopped learning history since 1964 like all other republicans
- Do you know that southern democrats like Storm Thurmond, Jesse Helms, Richard Shelby etc. left for republican party once civil rights laws were passed? Do you know that republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater was aganst the civil rights law?
- Republicans who supported civil rights were from north-east and new england and most of them have moved to democratic party since then. There are hardly any republicans left in those states in US Congress or senate now(after teh defeat of Chafee and defection of Jeffords and Specter).
- Nixon formulated “sothern strategy” to formulate the resentment among southern whites and that has since then consumed the republican party to this day. Gone are the days of Abraham Lincoln, Eisenhower and Nelson Rockefeller , now it is the party of Jesse Helms, Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell and Sarah Palin (and Joe the dumber sorry plumber).
- Finally republican Dick Cheney voting against releasing Mandela in the 80s was a manifestation of this racial hatred among republican follwers. To justify his vote, Cheney accused Mandela, a disciple of Gandhi and follower of non-violence, of terrorism!! A braindead frikking actor called Reagan sitting in President’s chair vetoed the motion from US Congress demanding freedom for mandela. I believe the veto was to appease the RACIST base of republican party at that time. By then, republican party has become what democrats were a hundred years back.
http://www.commondreams.org/views/080300-102.htm
“When Rep. Dick Cheney voted against a 1986 resolution calling for the release of Nelson Mandela and recognition of the African National Congress, Americans did know this man had been waiting decades for his freedom. In a larger sense, so had all black South Africans. The tenets of American democracy — one man, one vote — were denied to the majority of citizens, along with the most basic economic and educational needs. ”
So much for the republican hypocrisy about freedom and human rights!!
The really sad thing about all of these comments is that she and her followers will not read or agree with the truth. We have a long way to go to convince poor and illiterate people that a free enterprize system is best for this country and their welfare. How many times have I seen groups of people have a chip on their shoulder about their standing in life, and how many times have I seen politicians try to benefit from those feelings of minorities in this country. I pray that people of all backgrounds will stand up and be heard. This administration is getting out of hand. God Bless America!
Mary the stupid republican claimed Robert Byrd filibustered Civil rights law. But she failed to point out that the same Robert Byrd suported Barack Obama (along with fellow senator Jay Rockefeller) during the primaries even though the rednecks from his state voted against obama 2:1.
It seems mary the republican seems to hvae stopped learning since 1964, typical of most ofthe republicans.
Republican idol and the village idiot Ronald Reagan proclaimed the following about medicare
http://pushingrope.blogspot.com/2009/08/reagans-medicare-scare.html
Actually this is the same talking point that IDIOTIC republicans are reciting even now. Village IDIOT reagan claimed that medicare will turn america to SOCIALIST.
I challenge republican idiots to come out against medicare now with the same talking points as Reagan. Let us see how senior citizens are going to respond to that :)
Glenn Beck has been talking about this all week. This is all part of the radical group STORM who are part of the Obama administratiion. They feel that they can destoy our government through chaos and misdirection using inner city hooligans and misguided white useful idiots.She is merely recruiting for their cause. These people are followers of Hugo Chavez, Fidal Castro, Marx, Lennin, and other Marxist.
Their goal is to bring down capitalism and fullfill the Obama Doctrin. Redistribution of wealth by punishing achievers, taking over business (banks, auto industry, insurance, health care) while promoting the unachievers. Look at what they have done with the unions who destroyed the auto industry, how many more ways can this administration reward them. they have given them taxpayer money, the unions own GM and Chrysler now. Then they have the balls to reward them more with Cash for Clunkers, but the American people went out and bought Japanese cars with the money. This government(2009)couldn’t run a lemonaide stand in Arizona in August, hell I don’t even trust them to deliver the mail.
Debbie like Mary seems to have a selective recollection of history. In her case, she is aware of the history for the last couple of years, but seems to have forgotten the fact that republicans were at the levers of power since 1980s.
Current financial mess can be traced back to the push for deregulation initiated by republican idol and the village idiot Ronald Reagan and another idiotic follower of Ayn Rand called Alan Greenspan. Both of them were republicans. Greenspan was more of an idealogue than a qualified Fed chairman, this guy didn’t even have a Ph D. in economics or related discipline.
Financial services firms in wallstreet were ardent republican supporters. Have you heard of Phil Gramm who helped to repeal Glass-Stegall act and became a UBS director later (and called americans as a “nation of whiners” and americans were suffering from “mental recession”)? He was a republican and a McCain campaign chair. That is probbaly when wallstreet realized that republicans have overreached and are completely out of touch with reality (especially after they heard McCain claiming that “fundamentals of american economy are sound” only to suspend his campaign a few days later)
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/21/nation/na-wallstdems21
“In 2000, by comparison, Republican George W. Bush went on to win the White House after collecting nearly $4 million from the industry versus Democrat Al Gore’s $1.4 million. In 2004, Bush received $8.8 million, twice what Democratic Sen. John Kerry collected.
”
So let me ask you, IDIOTIC DEBBIE, how will it be democrats fault when republicans were the overwhelming beneficiaries of wallstreet largesse from 2000-2007, during which the financial crisis was formented? Why did hank paulson bail out AIG, but not Lehman Brothers? (because demise of AIG would have sunk Goldman Sachs where Paulson was the former CEO)
As I stated before, republican jerks spout the nonsense they hear from talk radio. Independent research is anathema to them, as these limba-trons are incapable of logical thinking?
BTW, I am not saying democrats are not guilty of cozying up with Wallstreet. Both Clinton and Obama are guilty of that. Obama has appointed Tim Geithner, a man who presided over the credit crisis as president of NY Fed and reappointed Bernanke who couldn’t prevent this crisis. Both these men were blinded by their faith in wallstreet’s ability to self manage just like Greenspan.
I missed this gem of an argument from STUPID DEBBIE where she takes solace in the fact that american govt didn’t torture any americans!! What are you claiming frikking sh*t-head? People outside US are not humans and hence they can be tortured? Or are you going to claim that G-d gave the rigt to americans and bush/cheney to torture other human beings!!
What a shame!!! Are you a human or some type of low-life scum? No wonder america is sliding to irrelevance for the rest of the world with these type of arguments. Rest of the world will soon give a rat’s ass about americans as they realize that americans don’t deserve any sympathy as self-centered americans like Debbie don’t care about the rest of the world.
At least John McCain has the guts to come out against this type of idiotic logic and he stated this morning that the torture backfired.
You know something? When the Chinese finally invade our piece of crap country, it’s gonna be a walk in the park for them, while they stick an AK-47 up everybody’s snout. I am so fed up with this minority BS that’s been going on for 45 years. And it’s the liberal white politicians who created this mess for more votes. Where the heck have all the ADULTS gone?
Time to flush the toilets in 2010 and 2012!
Oh Markos if we could only have an intelligent debate! But its apparent your brain damage is irreversible–Cuba tortures their OWN people, China tortures their OWN people, N.Korea tortures their OWN people, Iran tortures their OWN people, and so on and so forth. AMERICA does NOT torture their OWN people (at least up until now). (which you in an earlier post were comparing the US to Cuba and NKorea on torturing their citizens) And the only people you are whining about (that we are supposed to have tortured) are the filthy scum terrorists(which I suspect YOU are one) who are really not human beings-but animals and should not be afforded the same rights as human beings. I know you are trying hard to appear like you know everything but with your unintelligent rantings and false statements you really are making yourself look rather hebetudinous. Now get out of my Country you Communist!!!!!!!!
Excuse me people. Don’t y’all understand what district this jacka$$ comes from. IT MUST BE south central. I mean where else are people in this Country that stupid and that ignorant. Hold it… Let me take back stupid, that’s not nice. I’ll rephrase it with…SUCKERS! Suckered in by this commie piece of ****! Black folk are lead into the polls and TOLD what to vote. They are fed such excrement, and buy into it. It’s all for reparations man. We are gonna make Whitey pay! So they BLINDLY go into the booth, and blindly vote for the commie. If! and when they see there congressperson at work, and see and hear the things they do…..THEY JUST don’t care. It’s all about getting back at the white devil. Y”all dig??? It’s a shame because I have so many Black friends and co-workers who get it. They left the plantation. And let me tell you…they’re paying the price. It must be so painful to see a Black Rep go out and say such babble, and then be blended in with all Blacks. (share the same opinion).
As a Cuban-born AMERICAN… It makes me sad to think….This is an American, an American person who represents other Americans. OMG!!!! What have we done. Well, what have “you people” done?? Who have you elected here??? I’m right back in CUBA!!!!! Holy S**T!!!!!! Sarah…where are Babe? Plz just say your running already and stop teasing us. 2012!!!!!
She thinks she looks like Obama? Wow. The lady needs glasses.
Obama looks like Kermit the frog. Skinny legs, big friendly smile. He makes you feel like you want to be his friend.
Watson looks like Kermit’s love interest, the always preening self centered Ms. Piggy. Acts like her to. Uneducated with a poor grasp of history. Self centered. Both Watson and Ms. Piggy think the whole world circles around them. Both Watson and Ms. Piggy would hold up a brutal hell-hole of despotism that its citizen gladly float across miles of shark infested water in everything from car tire “inner-tubes” to 1950’s era trucks rigged with 50 gallon barrel floats, just to escape.
A question for you, Ms. Piggy… AHEM, Mrs. Watson, if Cuba is such a fine place and Castro is such an example of leadership, why are so many people in Cuba willing to place their lives at such risk just to escape?
It is interesting that Watson looks to Castro for an example. In a way, he is an example she appears to be attempting to follow. Castro represents the people of Cuba much as Watson represents the average people of the United States.
Rep. Diane Watson might as well start giving complements to Osama Bin Laden and Adolf Hitler. I’m sure they’re very bright in her mind.
She’s probably getting her “facts” from Michael Moore and his schlockumentaries.
STUPID JACKASS DEBBIE,
If the people tortured by US are terrorists why did your leader McCain got on the TV today and claimed that it generated more recruits for Al-Queda? tacit admission that many who got tortured in abu gharib were innocent, eh?
If China tortures their people, then why are stupid americans like you doing business with China? Why couldn’t you enforce an embargo as with Cuba? Oops, I forgot, Chinese have americans by their balls and americans are spending borrowed chinese money. White trash like Debbie won’t be able to live without buying c*ap from walmart
Take your head out of Cheney’s ass and think for yourself at least once. Already your stupid theory about democrats causing the financial meltdown is debunked with a simple google search (something which most stupid americans like Debbie couldn’t do before Iraq war)
“When the Chinese finally invade our piece of crap country, it’s gonna be a walk in the park for them, while they stick an AK-47 up everybody’s snout. I am so fed up with this minority BS that’s been going on for 45 years”
Actually Chinese wouldn’t have to invade US. Useful idiots from rightwing would have provided them the rope to hang them with as their communist leasers taught them.
No matter what party is ruling or who lives in the White House, people like this lady will always have constituents. They will always be illiterate and ignorant because their leaders want them like that. And if one of their own rebels to that, they make sure he is taken out.
Markos,
You like most lefties have a selective memory. Also when you’re given some historical facts you don’t like you behave like a spoiled brat. Why don’t you grow up and give intelligent arguments instead of your infantile name calling?
Is there some reason you chose not to address the history I mentioned? Fact remains that it was because of Republicans that black people didn’t spend more time at the back of the bus. Really grates ya, doesn’t it? Fact remains it was Democrats who terrorized and suppressed black people for decades. Really grates ya, doesn’t it? Fact remains it was a Democrat icon who put American citizens of color into concentration camps. Really grates ya, doesn’t it?
Democrats who filibustered the civil and voting rights acts also include Al Gore Sr., Robert Byrd (ex-klansman), and J.Wm Fullbright, none of whom who became Republicans. I can find nothing about George “segregation forever” Wallace turning Republican or Bull Connor leaving the Democrat Party.
-Let’s see, Democrat Robert Byrd used the “n” word on national TV. I understand that while the Congressional Black Caucus objected they were fearful of this very powerful white senator. Well, Sen.Byrd has never been a man to tolerate black folk who get just a little too uppity, has he Markos?
-South Carolina Democrat senator Ernest Hollings, who as governor of S.Carolina flew the confederate flag in opposition to civil rights, “joked” about African leaders being “cannibals”.
-Recently Democrat congresswoman and senate candidate Carolyn Maloney used the “n” word while criticizing her opponent. Of course she loathes and never uses this word. LOL, right.
So tell me Markos, all these eeeevil Republicans in the south have done what to black people? Come on tell us. Exactly what have Republicans done to black people in the south?
Have laws been passed segregating black citizens as they were under the Democrats?
Does the KKK rule openly and supreme as it did under the Democrats? Have laws allowing lynching been reestablished? That’s another thing Markos, congressional and senate Democrats opposed anti lynching laws, Republicans supported them.
So what if Byrd supported Obama, he’s a Democrat isn’t he? What did you expect? Isn’t it something how Democrats tolerated him after his filibustering of civil and voting rights? Apparently his klan history was of no relevance either. Hey Markos, what if Byrd were a Republican? You’d be in hog heaven wouldn’t you! LOL!!
Republicans have been in power since 1980?
Markos get YOUR history straight will you. From 1954 to 1980 the Democrats controlled the senate until Republicans took it in 1980. In 1986 the Democrats retook the senate until they lost it in 1994. The Democrats controlled congress from 1948 until 1994. The Democrats took power of both houses again in 2006.
Concerning the communist Chinese. Well, they have been lecturing your guy Obama on fiscal responsiblity. No surprise since he put us so deeply in debt to them with his “stimulus package”.
Until your next rant Markos, aidios
If Castro was/is such a ‘brilliant leader’, why have the citizens of his ‘brilliantly lead’ country risked life and limb to escape to the US ever since he became their ‘brilliant leader’of Cuba? I am truly curious as to what would be on your list of criteria of being a ‘brilliant leader’, as well as how you define the term, that would have caused you to make such a statement.
Congresswoman wants to use violence to “kick-out” the rich!
Date: Monday, August 31, 2009
Representative Diane Watson held a town hall meeting last Thursday where she praised Che Guevara for using violence and murder to “kick-out” the rich people of Cuba. Che Guevara was known for his brutality against his own troops who tried to defect from the rebel army.
Che Guevara joined Fidel Castro’s leftist army in Mexico. There Guevara trained with military forces for the explicit purpose of over-throwing the Cuban Government.
Guevara was known for his brutality shooting defectors and sending out execution squads for those members who went absent without leave. During guerilla operations in Cuba, Guevara was known for summary executions of spies and informers.
Well what do you expect from a racist Fascist left wing Nigra, the truth? Certainly you jest.
If all the black folk say and believe that people don’t like Barrack The Hussein because he is black as opposed to the truth, which is the FACT that The Hussein is a Fascist wannabe Dictator, I will not back down or let them get away with throwing out the race card.
The Hussein has surrounded himself with Communists and revolutionaries which makes one wonder why? His people praise Chavez & Castro, why you ask? Because that’s what they want to do here. Have a revolution and destroy capitalism and make the U. S. another 3rd world country.
The revolution that WILL take place will be the overthrow of The Hussein “The Usurper” government and it will be replaced with a true Republic. Remember that there are 80 million gun owners and most of them do not intend to live under a Fascist Regime.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, She is a freaking idiot, she should have replaced Leno. What a dum bass.
Dear American hater MARKOS (MARXIST)
Whilst you tell everyone here how stupid and ignorant we are, we all look at you.
Public Schooling has failed. Private Schools are succeeding. Where is the accountability?
Cities are broke. Where is the accountability?
States are broke. Where is the accountability?
The United States is broke. Where is the accountability?
Medicare is about to bust. Where is the accountability?
Social Security is dying. Where is the accountability?
Public Roads are in disrepair. Where is the accountability?
Government out of control. Where is the accountability?
Do you see a pattern here? Nothing that the Government gets their hands on works. Say $10,000 toilet seats? Nothing.
How could anyone want to give them control of our health unless they are set to prosper from it?
Markos. Just what will the MARXIST give you? Look to China, USSR, N. Korea, and your beloved India for a class system of slaves and rulers.
Are you a ruler? Someone like you full of hate and dislike for his fellow citizens? Yes you would become a common Breaucrat “master”.
You are for you and like you have already shown, full of hate and dislike. A true lefty.
Markos the American hater gets all his misinformation from inside his cave—I wasn’t aware that John Mc Cain won the presidency nor was/is the leader of anything–duh–what an idiot! Quit googling all of the left wing wacko sites for your misinformation and tune in to the real news and you might learn a thing or two! By the way former vice-president Dick Cheney is more of a man than you will ever hope to be! God bless Dick Cheney…what a great American patriot!
The World Health Organization lists Cuba’s health system even lower than the USA. I’m sure Ms. Rocket Scientist doesn’t realize that.
The USA already has a severe physician shortage but Cuba has a much worse doctor/patient ratio than the USA.
Is that Ms. Watson’s dream?
Viva la Revolution! 40 years and no progress.
I don’t think the revolution will ever end
- because the Cuban govt is in charge of everything, so why change anything?
“Ted Kennedy was a Clinical Clunker, now he is a Shovel-ready project”
It’s not supposed to be a Party issue…it’s not supposed to be a race issue. But if i were a “Dem” or African-American, i would be speaking out against the sheer STUPIDITY of this woman and petition to never let her in Office (or even the public) ever again. And who pays her salary, huh!
This lady should read a couple of history books before opening her mouth. Che Guevara DID NOT lead the so called revolution, Fidel Castro did, and he promised there would be elections which never happened. He also said that he was not a comunist. He said it in English!!!!!! So don’t say you don’t understand. He also sent a letter to Nikita Jruschev asking for a nuclear strike against the US. Just google it, you ignorant traitor.
As a Cuban American, I demand this IGNORANT WOMAN APOLOGIZE TO ALL THE CUBANS… HER BARBARIC REMARK IS SHOCKING! Does she know how much the Cubans are suffering… how Cuba is a Country that has NOTHING; NO FOOD,NO MEDICINE, NO WATER, NO ELECTRICITY ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS A DAY AND SHE DARES TO SPEAKS HIGHLY OF A TERRORIST KILLER LIKE CASTRO… My family had damage to their homes during the past hurricanes, the damage is still there since there’s no building supplies… WHAT WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN…. I DEMAND AN APOLOGY FOR MY FAMILY AND FOR ALL THE CUBANS THAT ARE SUFFERING… SHE SHOULD RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!
CARLOS, from your uneducated and ignorant comment, it is obvious you are not a Cuban and haven’t suffered like we have… I bet you, you’re probably Mexican… Let me tell you a little history, Cuba, before Castro, was just like the USA.. Cuba now is WORST than any 3rd World Country… they have NOTHING… Every other country in the world, people have the freedom to come and go as they please.. NOT IN CUBA, YOUR ONLY WAY OUT IS VIA A RAFT… you have to risk your life on a man made raft and expect that your chances of being EATEN BY SHARKS OR DROWN, ARE EXTREMELY HIGH.. do you think that if it wasn’t that bad, people would risk their lives AND THAT OF THEIR PRECIOUS CHILDREN, on a daily basis just to get out of there… THE CITIZENS OF CUBA ARE DESPERATE. Cuba is a country were time has stood still for 50 years… it has nothing to do with the embargo, b/c they get everything they want from other Countries… But unfortunately, the TERRORIST CASTRO, keeps all the goods and doesn’t share with his citizens… Your comment is ignorant AND PATHETIC since you don’t know the history of my Country. My people, my family members are still living in that Country and are suffering…no soap, no deodorant, no toothpaste, parents don’t have milk to give their children, they only have power and water, a few hours a day, no food, no medicine, no A/C, no refrigerator, no roofs over their heads and the LIST GOES ON AND ON… NO INCENTIVES TO BETTER THEMSELVES B/C THERE IS NOTHING. CUBA before Castro, was wonderful, now is worst then a third world country… so the next time you visit Cuba, don’t go as a tourist and have all the luxuries my people can’t have… Go and live with one of the NATIVES and see how they suffer on a daily basis… HOW THEY STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE… as you should well know, citizens of Cuba can not go to restaurants, that’s only for the tourist, they can not ENTER A HOTEL, that’s only for tourist, they can not go to a bar, club, etc… they are excluded from having all the leisure you have when you visit the Island… so yes, we have suffered and my family is still suffering from this terrorist named Castro…
What an ignorant Fool Ms. Watson is !!!!! How in the world did she ever make it to Congress ??? She not only does not know what she is talking about but she does not even know what happened in Cuba with Che Guevara. What an Imbesil !!!!!!! She should be kicked out of Congess !!!! This is who is running our country. And you guys still think Democrats is what we need???? What a Joke!!!!!
99% of the 700 commentors on this website agree that this Democrat LOONEYTOON congresswoman is a closet commie. This gives me great hope for our future. Americans are loyal and patriotic to this great nation. We know a commie when we see one. Trouble is, Ms. Watson could care less about how we feel towards her. She is black, proud, and very arrogant. How in the world are these commies voted into office? PLEASE vote for the Republican party in 2010. We must stop this liberal crap from spreading any further.
I agree with Watson. Yes Castro is brilliant! The most brilliant psychopath in power, in the world for 50 years. One who has brilliantly managed to take Cuba back to times prior to colonial times when at least people could find food on the markets or plant it or sell it. He has brilliantly destroyed a prosperous nation and sent millions of Cuban out of their homeland. I have been in this country for 49 years and I still can’t wake up from the dream I have been made to live without my asking. I thank God I was able to find a new home which I love completely, but I can’t be totally happy knowing Cuba is the way it is when it didn’t have to be. That pain is something that doesn’t go away.
Senator Watson and company, why don’t you ask more Cubans how it really is.
Markos: You have the same disease Chavez and Castro (and Obama as a matter of fact)
have: diaherrea of the mouth. And a professor complex (only you know all the right
answers, everyone else is stupid).
Enough with the history lessons: India, Pskistan, blah blah blah. This a-hole
congresswoman is praising Cuba and saying a lot of stupid things too, so ignorant
it’s hard to believe (or maybe not)
Cuba is a s…hole ever since Castro took over. I am so glad I got out never
to be back, for no reason. Keep your Nazi Castros, the bastard won’t live forever and once dead the truth will come out.
You all that are outraged at this ignoramus congresswoam, direct your energies
toward her: flood her offices with mail and photos and plain facts about Cuba. She might save all to use in her next trip to Cuba for toilet paper or she might wake up
She has to have SOME inteligence. Mail her about Panfilo, Dr Darsi, Dr Biscet,
Las Damas de Blanco, la primavera negra, maybe she will begin to believe we left
Cuba for a reason and one reason only: Castro murdering, pillaging, stealing
People, there is a jackass named Markos. I don’t think he is American, Markos sounds like a guerrilla name, you know: “Tania”, “Alejandro”, “Carlos the Jackal”. But his bullets are words against people who know the truth about Cuba because, like me, I LIVED IT, and he obsviously did not…unless he is a Cuban spy. still did not suffer none, those bastards are commies, sucking up the poor cubans blood, living high on the hog while others suffer. Markos, who are you, you bastard?
Also, people, I mailed a lot of literature to the other jackass, Ms Watson, about the truth about Cuba. I doubt it will make any impact, her brain is very, very small and is adoctrined already, but there is hope, always hope for the best and prepare for the worse.
I want to respond to a Nat Turner (Is that your real name?) The infant mortality stats in Cuba, it may be true but look for the abortion reports, off the charts! To the point that the Cuban population is not growing normally, what with people leaving like rats leaving a sinking ship and what not also. The AID stats: I don’t know now but at the beginning Castro put all the AIDS victims in asylums, quarentine, incomunicado and they were treated humanly…to the point that some people got infected on purpose because the food and medical care was so good! The fabled medical care is down the toilet lately: Fidel is paying Chavez with doctors. I heard that sick people are treated by nurses as there are not enough doctors. Up to now the “revolution” guaranteed rationed food, lunches at the factories and schools but now they can’t afford it, no subsidies from other countries, tourism is way down so I heard they will stop those free lunches and the ration card as well. The ration cards was put in place in the early 1960’s and it’s still in use! Yes, it’s good healthy to eat less, no Mc Donalds, no obesity!!!
Mary aka idiotic republican,
You (and debbie) proved with your posts that you are the one suffering from selective amnesia. I was trying to show the true picture by showing a mirror to your face. You didn’t like what you saw, right? So you had to start a verbal diarrhea here, since you don’t have any logical arguments left.
Are you going to claim that failing/biases of a few southern democrats at that time as that of the democratic party when majority of the democrats (in congress and senate) were in FAVOR of civil rights laws? When Lyndon Johnson signed civil rights law, he remarked that he had signed the south away (to the republicans) for a generation. Why did he say that, if southern democrats were all anti-civil rights, since it was “solid south” for democrats for nearly 100 years? He figured most of the racist democrats will move out of democratic party and since south was heavily RACIST, he knew that would happen, after all he was from south.
In 1964, there was only 1 republican senator from south and he opposed it, along with fellow southerners. All non-southern democrats supported the senate bill, but 5 republican senators including Barry Goldwater opposed it, wonder why?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Passage_in_the_House_of_Representatives
Now some more questions that will expose your STUPID argument
- Why didn’t former clansman Robert Byrd support Hillary, why did he support Obama during primaries? If he was a racist, he could have supported Hillary since most of his red-neck stated voted for Hillary.
- Why did republican party eagerly embrace racists like Jesse Helms, Storm Thurmond etc.? Why did they embrace the legacy of southern racism through Nixon’s southern strategy because every one knows that republican party is the RACIST party today.
- What % of minorities (by this I mean non african american ninorities) are voting for republican party since civil rights law of 1964?
Let us be honest, today’s republican party looks closer to the defeated democratic party after the civil war. They have become irrelevant in all parts of the country except south. Even in 1964, democrats had 2/3rd majority in the senate and they had 21 of the 22 senators from south. Today most of the southern states have republican senators.
Everyone saw the UGLY RACIST face of republican party during Sotomayor hearing. People are not going to forget that.
Markos, you’re wrong. Your propaganda is laughable. Your facts are a joke. The Democrats were and still are a racist, elitist party, and Fidel is a racist too. Robert Byrd was a Klansman and he always has been a Democrat. Martin Luther King was a Republican. So, just keep calling people names and we’ll keep laughing at you. But, keep those canned propaganda points coming. We are laughing at your efforts.
Markos, keep typing out those long propaganda posts of yours. But the Cubans keep coming here, just like the East German refugees did, and the Soviet dissidents and all the others who come here to America. Nobody is going to Cuba Markos. Not even you. Your words are mental flatulence. It doesn’t matter what you say. Reality kicks your a**. HEY! Here comes another Cuban, washing up on Miami Beach! Why don’t you ask him if he wants to go home.
MARKOS The only one with verbal diahrrea is you, tovarish. Like King Juan Carlos said to
to verbal diahrrea sufferer Chavez: Por que no te callas? Why don’t you shut up already?
Only you know the truth, you and Castro, sit at the right hand of God, pompiuos a-hole.
Markos,
Again, grow up.
Ever hear of filibusters? It was the Democrats filibustering that caused the problem. It was the Republicans who LBJ had to turn to for help in breaking the filibuster and passing the legislation. Live with it.
It was Democrats who founded the KKK, supported lynching, established segregation, and supported slavery, live with it.
It was a Democrat president who put American citizens of color in concentration camps because they were American citizens of a certain color. Live with it.
LBJ was concerned about signing the south away? That can be interpreted anyway you want.
Could he have figured angry Democrats, who controlled a segregated south, might not be happy with blacks having the right to vote and having civil rights? Could he have figured blacks would oppose Democrats and support Republicans? To this day I cannot understand the blind devotion blacks show Democrats.
Again Markos, please address my question. What have the “racist” Republicans in the south or anywhere done to deny rights to black Americans? Have the reestablished the Klan? Segregation? Supported lynching?. You know, like the Democrats did. Tell us Markos and enlighten all of us. Settle this argument once and for all.
Why did the Republicans embrace “racists” You might ask yourself the same question of the Democrats Markos.
-Why did they have no issue with Byrd, filibusterer of civil and voting rights, ex-klansman and klan recruiter, who once referred to black Americans as the “darkest specimans of the wild”? Was anything said of his use of the “n” word on national TV?
-Why did they have no issue with Democrat senators who filibustered civil and voting rights?
-Why has nothing been said about Democrat Congresswoman Maloney using the “n” word when criticizing her senate opponent?
-Why was nothing said about Democrat Senator Ernest Hollings, who as governor of South Carolina flew the Confederate flag to oppose civil rights, “joking” about African leaders being cannibals?
You were whining about embracing racism Markos??
Why did Byrd support Obama? Maybe he intensly disliked Hillary. Obama was considerably more charasmatic and likable. Gee, maybe it proves he’s sexist! Those are the only reasons I can think anyone would support Obama considering his complete lack of anything that would pass as qualifications. Maybe you can enlighten all of us as to his qualifications to be president Markos.
Good question as to why minorities support Democrats since black people would have spent more time at the back of the bus without Republican help. Tell me how the lives of black people vastly improved under Democrats. You might start with the 32% unemployment rate of Detroit which is majority black and has been run by Democrats since 1960.
Again, please name all the “racists” in the Republican Party and everything they have done to deny black Americans their rights.
The Sotomayor hearings Markos? So its racism every time a non white person is criticized or questioned about their qualifications?
Speaking of racism, wasn’t it Sotomayor who said her gender, race and life experience made her better qualified to be a judge than a white male??
Now tell me Markos, your reaction if a white male said his gender, race, and life experience made him better qualified to be a judge than a black, hispanic, or Native American would be ……what?
Uh, Markos,
In case you didn’t notice, your source only proves me correct.
Only in America can ignorance reach such levels… what a fool, how about the thousands and thousands he has murdered???
You’re on drugs, Markos. Move to Cuba. Maybe Fidel will give you a job starching his dress shirts and walking his poodle. Maybe you can floss his teeth for him. So, King Fidel passes the royal crown to his brother. King Kim Jung Il passes the throne to his son. Looks like you are in love with these monarchial despots Markos. You have a fetish for communist royalty?
OK, guys, mission accomplished!!! Markos got out of the kitchen, running out to papa fidel for further instructions.
Wonder if anyone remembers that Batista was half black just like Obama? Even if they have a good health
care system (which I doubt) Try getting health care if you’re gay. Oh yeah, it’s a crime down there.
And Che was a cowardly murderer, that military leader stuff about him is total crap. Read Humberto
Fontova’s book about Che. All the other ones were approved by Castro.
Batista did not look like Obama, Obama is half pure African. Batista’s skin tone
was fair, he had Indian type hair, but he was a dictator nevertheless.
He was a military man with little education, just like Chavez, who also tried to
give a coup d’ stat in his country and now is doing, dictating legitimately.
The book is out on Batista, a lot of people liked him. I was a child in 1953,
the year Castro attacked Moncada Barracks, about 6 blocks from my home in Stgo
de Cuba (are you listening congresswoman Watson, a little history lesson for you)
However after that Batista had many opportunities to kill Castro but did not, instead gave him amninsty and Castro went to Mexico, financed his revolution among other sources, Americans and Congress–IRONY
Ms Watson: second History lesson: In mexico somebody introduced those two SOBs to each other: castro and guevara. To me, because of that, Batista was benevolent compared to Blood-thristy Stalinist Castro
JFK – Democrat president murdered by a Cuban sympathizer, Marxist named Oswald.
JFK’s recently deceased brother Teddy headed a Democrat party that embraces Castro today. Castro murdered his brother, but Teddy had nothing to say about the sellouts in the COngressional Black Caucus who slap Castro on the back and brag about him all the time. Teddy had nothing to say about these brainless amoebas, these filthy immoral traitors who would sell their own ethnic community back into slavery along with all the rest of us. And for what? The perks and the privileges of elitism? What swine! I hope the ghosts of those who died at the Bay of Pigs are on hand at Judgement Day to see them condemned.
The harshest judgements of history will be leveled against all who allow the destruction of our beloved Constitution, without so much as a whimper or a finger raised in resistance. I can imagine no greater crime to be committed in the history of the world than to betray our founders work. To spit on blessings so unique and singular. No greater crime can be imagined than to condemn the entire world to a return to the dark ages of tyranny and hopeless stagnation.
