The Black Caucus met with Castro and humiliated themselves, following Obama and his bowing and scraping to the king of Saudi Arabia. This is equality? Since when do you proclaim your independence by subjecting yourselves to virtual slave holders? Did the Black Caucus meet with Alian Gonzalez, the Dred Scott of our time? Not likely, reality has nothing to do with bombast and liberal two dimensional thinking. If the Black Caucus was for freedom, then why are they members of the former slave holder Democrat Party?
One of the female members of the caucus, after traveling through unspeakable poverty in Cuba, said some of the Cubans were better off then some of the people in her own district. Was she jealous of Fidel's more effectual rule over his subjects in relation to her own? Perhaps she should resign and admit the failure of liberalism in this country. Both her district and Cuba are suffering from long term, single party rule.
My own home city of Pittsburgh has lost roughly half its population in the last fifty-six years as a result of over seventy years of Democrat big city politics. Most of the people with money and initiative simply moved to the suburbs; which have prospered in comparison to Pittsburgh. Not to be outwitted, which is very simple to do, the Pittsburgh and county Democrat politicians want to consolidate the more than hundred and thrity communities in the surrounding Allegheny County into Pittsburgh in order to spread the cancer. This explains why communities just over the Allegheny County line, like Cranberry Township and Cannonsburg, are now prospering. These communities remain outside the proposed new liberal commune.
Both the Castro brothers and the Black Caucas continue in power by blaming everything wrong in their subjects' lives on the inequities of America, without ever solving the real problems. Day-to-day problems should be handled by individual initiatives. But freedom is such a dirty and scary word to socialists of any stripe.
Even in such an absurd and surreal a setting; Fidel Castro invoked the memory of a Republican, Dr. Martin Luther King. The irony was lost, naturally, on the self-deceived.
