If at first you don’t succeed… keep failing

Hey Berez! Enough with the embargo! How do you expect me to get the American cigars that I so cherish? LOL!

A pair of Republican congressmen ripped Congressional Black Caucus members for ignoring Cuba’s “myriad gross human rights abuses” Thursday, saying this week’s caucus trip to the island nation ignored the plight of political prisoners under the Castro regime.
They also urged the Obama administration to refrain from easing trade embargo or travel restrictions until the Cuban government releases all “prisoners of conscience,” shows greater respect for freedom of religion and speech, and holds “free and fair” elections.
The call from Reps. Chris Smith, R-New Jersey, and Frank Wolf, R-Virginia, came three days after the administration signaled that new rules on family travel and remittances to Cuba may be announced before President Obama goes to the Summit of the Americas on April 17.
It also followed statements from several Black Caucus members Tuesday arguing for consideration of an end to the trade embargo and other diplomatic restrictions placed on Cuba for five decades.

You want to talk about “myriad gross human rights abuses?” The worst human rights abuse since the revolution has been the suffering  the cuban people have endured as a result of our embargo. An embargo that has literally accomplished nothing. With the exception of keeping cuban families apart for the last half century. Exactly the type of hypocrisy we’ve come to expect from the “Family Values” party. A bunch of rabid anti-communist blowhards and demagogues who seemed to think that a corrupt, fascist dictator was preferable to the communist dictator who succeeded him. I mean seriously, enough is enough.–BEREZ
