Liberals

make Cuba into warm, fuzzy 'alternate'

Of all the arguments

surrounding the case of Elian Gonzalez, the most

disturbing are Janet Reno's reference to Cuba as having

just "an alternative political system," and

some legislators statements that giving Elian citizenship

would require us to also grant it to Haitians in the U.S.

Didn't we fight a cold war

against Communism because we believed it cruel, immoral,

antithetical to freedom, and unresponsive to the human

spirit? So what is this about just an alternative

political system? Don't liberals oppose

dictators-for-life or just right-wing

dictator's-for-life?

Castro's troops murdered 41

men, women and children on the tugboat "March

13th" who were attempting to escape Cuba on July 13,

1994, washing babies from their mother's arms with fire

hoses on the decks of their coast guard vessels. You

probably hadn't heard. For some reason it was not

publicized too well in the liberal mainstream media. One

woman, Maria Garcia Suarez, lost 14 members of her

family, including her 10-year-old son. Is this the

"alternative political system" to which we want

Elian Gonzalez returned? Is this about cozying up to

Fidel Castro so that Bill Clinton can add to his sad

legacy the normalization of relations with Cuba?

So what about the Haitians?

Didn't we "Clintonize" Haiti? Didn't we send in

the troops in 1994 to "restore democracy?"

Haven't we spent over $100 million dollars to remake

Haiti in the socialist Clinton-Gore image? So Haitians

ought to be standing in line to get back, shouldn't they?

Or are we saying that the mission was a failure and the

money misspent (like so much else the last eight years)?

What better way to restore hope in Haiti than to

transplant those fortunate Haitians who have been in the

U.S. back to their native land where they can participate

in "building socialism," along the lines of the

Clinton-Gore plan for the U.S.

To suggest that anyone

would be better off to live under Clinton-Gore's

socialism, Castro's communism or any other fraud of an

"alternative political system" typifies the

legacy of lies in the Clinton-Gore Administration and

defines their decade of deceit.
