Blanket
Indictments
Blanket indictments are many times unfair. By a blanket indictment
I mean lumping people into groups because of their ethnic makeup
or the way they happen to believe and criticizing them as a
whole.
We hear a lot about liberals and conservatives, the left and
the right these days and both sides have their share of good
hearted, well meaning people who sincerely believe their way
is right and I can understand a compassionate stand, provided
it is presented in a sensible fashion, even if I don¹t
happen to feel the same way.
And they both have their share of kooks.
What I can't abide is someone who feels bound and determined
to follow a particular line of thought just because it is espoused
by the political party or elitist group they align themselves
with.
People are not sheep and should not be herded around as such,
people should act as the individual's Almighty God made them
to be and follow their true beliefs, even if they disagree with
their compatriots.
I wonder how many people are going to defend Sean Penn and Danny
Glover for going to Venezuela to visit a vowed America hater
Hugo Chavez?
Is their any defense for this behavior other than they just
want to thumb their privileged noses at the all of us, just
to say, I support the enemies of the nation that has given me
so much fame and wealth?
Hugo Chavez is a little tin dictator who is rapidly ruining
Venezuela. He will fall, as such people always do, but the suffering
and bloodshed he will impose on the people of that country could
very well be catastrophic.
He is nothing more than an old line, iron fisted, puffed up,
totalitarianist, cruel and bent on building Venezuela into a
military power and aligning himself with Fidel Castro and the
Mullahs of Iran.
Wrong move Hugo. Fidel Castro has succeeded in turning Cuba
into an island of despair by turning his back on the country
that would have been his best friend. Like you, he was naive,
he actually thought America would allow
soviet missiles ninety miles off our shores.
He tried to export revolution and only plunged what should be
a prosperous tropical island into nation of poverty, with nowhere
to turn for help since Russia dropped him like a hot potato.
I remember back in the day when misguided teenagers would go
to Cuba and be filmed working in the cane fields and talking
about how cool Fidel was. They never looked down the side streets
of Havana and saw the abject misery and fear the Castro regime
brought to Cuba.
To this day people wear Che Guevara tee shirts never realizing
that the man they advertise over their hearts was in actuality
a cruel, sadistic revolutionary who practiced wholesale slaughter
and whose brilliant military exploits were mainly hog wash,
myth, proliferated by Che and an agreeable American media.
Fidel Castro could have been a great man who would always be
remembered as the hero, who liberated Cubans from the cruel
hands of Juan Batista.
But as the saying goes, Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
And Fidel yielded to the temptation, imposing his own brand
of cruelty on the long-suffering people of Cuba.
But Fidel is a mortal and like all of us, one of these days
he'll be gone. Let's hope his influence leaves with him.
Cuba libre!!!!!!!!!!
Pray for our troops
