It's Communism, Stupid!

It's Communism, Stupid!
It's interesting how the protesting this past week throughout Cuba is being spun by our main stream media. While The New York Times, CNN, and other news outlets have at least been reporting the street protests, they have very carefully avoided using terms such as communism, socialism, or Marxism. But those are the exact things that the thousands of protestors are marching against.

Video on social media sites show the Cuban protesters marching with an American flag and chanting "freedom!" Thousands demand an end to the communist dictatorship, but as far as our media is concerned, these people are framed as "anti-government" protestors. No, these are anti-communist protestors, idiots!

Meanwhile Democrat jackasses like Maxine Waters and Cori Bush continue their race baiting hate towards America. Considering how racist this country is, I wonder how black women like those two ever get elected, let alone prosper and obtain wealth?

No one in the news media will ask them, "If America is such a horrible racist country, why are millions of people from other countries trying to get in?" Or "Can you name another country that offers people more opportunity, better living conditions, and greater freedoms than America?"

These questions are never asked because the media is part and parcel all in with the Marxist agenda espoused by our so-called representatives in Washington. These liars just keep on and on and far too many stupid people continue to vote for them. Sickening.

The Cuban street protestors would love to have a little of the freedom of speech afforded to America-hating athletes like Colin Kapernick who refuses to stand for the flag and ends up with a lucrative endorsement deal worth millions. Or Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry who gained fame by disrespecting our national anthem and was cheered for her bravery by fellow American haters. Try doing that in Cuba or China and see how that works out for you. Idiots.

Far too many in our country have been brainwashed into believing that we live in a racist country where only the white men can succeed. They go along with the far left and buy into every lie they are told. Why don't they simply look around them and see just how many from every race, creed, and color have prospered under the American flag? They don't see that or they discount that. Brainwashing does that to you.

No one knows the atrocities of communism any better than the people who have escaped those authoritarian regimes. Sen. Ted Cruz, himself the son of a Cuban immigrant, took to Twitter to express his solidarity with theÊthousands of protestersÊthat flooded the streets in Havana protesting the worsening conditions in the communist country.Ê

Cruz said the communist regime has brutalized & denied freedom to generations of Cubans, and forced my family & so many others to flee or be murdered." he tweeted. "The American people stand squarely with the men & women of Cuba and their noble fight for liberty."

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., made a comparison between the protesters who took to the streets of U.S. cities last summer with the protesters in Cuba, tweeting, "Protesters in America: Burn the US Flag, a symbol of freedom, liberty, & justiceÑideals that EVERY American possesses but so often ignore. VS. Protesters in Cuba: Fly the America Flag & are willing to die for the freedom, liberty, & justice that's synonymous with the USA."

Communication strategist Giancarlo Sopo, tweeted a video of protesters holding an American flag while they marched. "This is deeply moving," he posted. "Watch as Cubans wave American flag while marching against the island's 62-year-old communist dictator on the streets of Havana. Never forget what America represents to millions across the world."

It's nice to know there is still a place where people respect the American values of individual liberty, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and justice for all. Where waving the American flag is a true symbol for all of those values. Too bad that place happens to be in communist Cuba.
