COLUMN OF THE
WEEK
Investor’s
Business Daily 3/23
In one of his last
acts in Havana, President Obama threw out a false equivalency between the
American Revolution and Cuba’s 1959 communist takeover. What are we to make of
a U.S. president who embraces such hoary Marxist equivalencies?
In his Tuesday
address to the Cuban people, Obama declared that the communist takeover that
led to the Castros’ 57-year dictatorship was a “liberation movement,” same as
America’s 1776 revolution. Obama’s well-known for his false equivalencies, but
this one stands out for its idiocy. “Here’s my message to the Cuban government
and the Cuban people,” Obama said.”The ideals that are the starting point for
every revolution, America’s revolution, Cuba’s revolution, the liberation
movements around the world, these ideals find their truest expression, I
believe, in democracy.”
It must have
drawn a stifled horse-laugh from Cuban military dictator Raul Castro.
Because the
fact is, the American Revolution — whose courageous patriots pledged “to each
other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor” — wasn’t anything like the
Castroites’ 1959 communist takeover. The latter was a gang of thugs’ brutal
destruction of a weak democracy with the sneaky aim of installing a
totalitarian tyranny. The American patriots of 1776 were all about a free
press, a fiery and open interplay of ideas, and the bravely signed names of 56
men of liberty standing up for what they believed in.
The bearded
Castroite revolutionaries were a different beast altogether. They claimed to favor
democracy as part of their Orwellian Newspeak, making use of willing media
toadies such as New York Times correspondent Herbert Matthews to fool U.S.
policymakers. But for those on the ground, the Castroite takeover was nothing
but a brutal leftist oligarchy intent on installing a communist agenda and
turning Cuba into a Soviet satellite. From the very beginning, the Castroites
and their so-called revolution had absolutely no democratic ideals. None.
Raul himself
was a leading communist party member from the very start, and his brother Fidel
ripped the false mask of democracy off to reveal his true communist face once
he entrenched himself as the Maximo Lider and couldn’t be thrown out. The
Castroites, including the dictator who stood at Obama’s elbow as he spoke, shot
their way to power and have since turned Cuba into a totalitarian hellhole.
To compare the
U.S. to Cuba is odious. Did George Washington shoot dissidents by firing squad
in summary executions to assure his supremacy of power? Did Washington imprison
thousands, including teenagers, executing many into open-pit mass graves as
now-vaunted “revolutionary” Che Guevara did, leering like a psychopath? Such
were the accounts of survivors interviewed by writer Humberto Fontova and
described in his 2005 book, “Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant.”
Did Jefferson
load up the dungeons with political prisoners? Did Washington expropriate
private property of political opponents, right down to their wedding rings? Did
John Jay end freedom to travel? Did Madison sic turba mobs to throw eggs and
excrement against dissidents in their homes? Did Adams drive millions from
their homes to uncertain fates on leaky boats? Did Treasury Secretary Alexander
Hamilton default on billions of dollars of debt of hated creditors, as Castro
did? Exactly the opposite. That’s the real record of the Castro “revolution.”
And for that
reason, there is so much wrong with what Obama said in attempting to equivocate
the two revolutions. To put the two events in the same sentence is an insult to
the U.S. and all the freedom and prosperity its revolution achieved, against
the horrific failure of Castro’s communism.

Saudi Arabia reach ‘frightening’ rate as 70th prisoner in 2016 is killed
It is a fact
that Arab/Islamic culture highly values honor and pride and has little
tolerance for those who dishonor Islam and Islamic "family values."
Because honor is so vital in Islamic culture, a whole section in Islamic law is
dedicated to forgiving and not prosecuting certain murders when they are linked
to honor, such as the killing of adulterers and apostates. Sharia has harsh
punishment for those who dishonor Islam or deviate from its values and
commandments……The true reason there are no "moderate" Muslim armies
killing ISIS terrorists.

With the

Establishment favorites Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Marco Rubio

consultants who picked every nominee since Reagan (Bush, Dole, Bush, McCain and
Romney) step aside to let the grassroots, also known as the “base,” work its
will this year? After months of waiting for Trump to self-destruct, the
Washington-based Republican Establishment has finally found a way to take back
control.
