Cuban Soccer Players Flee The People’s Republic

Yesterday, Loanni Prieto and 5 other young Cuban soccer players, and possibly a 7th - an assistant coach who is currently “missing” - fled the Doubletree Hotel in Tampa where the Cuban national team was staying, to become homeless refugees here in the United States.

How could that be? Doesn’t Cuba have the best health care in the world? Don’t Cubans live in a nation free from oppression and racism? Isn’t El Papa Fidel the Glorious Leader? Tell me it ain’t so!

They were obviously kidnapped by the minions of Chimpy McHitler-burton and the Archangel of Satan Karl Rove!! And now racebaitingpovertypimp Democrats like sannitized and realitydenyingboob will command that these poor, kidnapped waifs be returned, at the point of machineguns, to the Socialist Workers Paradise of Cuba.

I lived in Atlanta in the 70’s,80’s and 90’s. There was a sizable Cuban population who fled the Utopian Paradise Castro had set up.
Most of them were Cuban Jews, the intelligentsia of Cuba, who left fame and fortune behind them and decided to flee, as did the intellectuals other religions. Most of them became quite successful in the USA contributing to the economic and cultural well-being of the community.
None of them ever talked about the fortunes left behind, only the misery their fellow citizens were suffering.
The Cuban government has very few intellectuals left on that spot on the globe.
The only people left to speak in glowing terms of a Stalinist superiority are accomplished athletes they want to trot out and expect them to ignore the scabby existence they endure in Cuba. Good for them, sometimes the truth is more important than a soccer goal.

How a Democrat would handle this:

By Monday they will have green cards and be signed up for SSI, medicaid,
and a housing voucher.
De ayuda.

If we did the same thing for all peoples fleeing communism the largest language group in this country would be Chinese.

Woof,
In all due respect, we are not talking of a Jimmah Carter-empty your prisons of criminals-send them over- type boat invasion here.
We will need the good Cuban people here who want to re-establish democracy in Cuba, re-establish relations with the USA, re-establish the worth of Freedom and Liberty as part of a Cuban citizenship.

The soccer players came to upgrade their economic positions.

If the money is right they will be on the Iranian national team.

Re-establish Freedom & Democracy in Cuba , way down their lists.

Woof, as far as I can tell, everyone - starting with Jamestown - came here to upgrade their economic positions. What’s your problem with that?

No problem with it.
Some people come to save their lives, say a draft notice into the Czar’s Army, or the Irish potatoe famine.
Some to escape persecution.
Most due to economic conditions.

WOOF - If we did the same thing for all peoples fleeing communism the largest language group in this country would be Chinese.

The Cubans are only 90 miles away. Plus their women are a lot hotter, no offense to the .7 billion Chinese ladies out there.

The soccer players came to upgrade their economic positions.

That’s one way of putting it.

That they’ve just escaped rank repression would be another.

If the money is right they will be on the Iranian national team.

Bull. That’s a big step down. These guys probably aren’t stupid. They know that America is the cream of the world crop. We’re the undisputed best despite the vile we get from the “world community”. The world is beating down our doors.

Re-establish Freedom & Democracy in Cuba , way down their lists.

You want to go down there and kill the communists?

It’s something America should have done long ago. Cuba is an island with a shortage of fish. There’s no excuse for that kind of dysfunction and desperation. We should kill the communists on principle.

But you’re probably not interested in solutions, so it makes me wonder why you bother at all.

their women are a lot hotter

its true. although some people really go for the asian women with the little schoolgirl uniforms on.

i love to hear you guys lauding the cuban-americans and their passion for freedom. now do a post on the virulence of the spanish speaking segments of our society. you all are so entrenched in dogma that you no longer think, spewing contradiction. i just came from a week in miami and my wife is a cuban american. check out the english:spanish speaking ratios down there. let’s have it, which side of the hypocrisy to you come down on more firmly, your hatred of spanish-speaking americans or the liking of the cuban expats?

“Virulence”? Good God man, that is GONZO!

Who were you talking to, anyway? Looks like you are trying to compare political refugee status Cubans to the illegals pouring over our Southern border as if they were one and the same.

likwidshoe on March 15, 2008 at 02:05 pm

spark, until you can prove that Cubanos are fleeing Cuba in order to create Fidel’s Socialist Workers Paradise in America you are full of shit. And your Girl’s family will back me up on that.

i dont think there are too many cubans fleeing nowadays. the drs are picking veggies in the fields. oh, a bunch did show up on bal harbor (millionaires, seaside) while i was there.

lik. my point then was directed at those who do not discriminate between those two.  miami is 50.9% foreign born. 67.9% of households speak spanish. and yet, it is a bastion of capitalism…

Thanks for making my point, yet again. Putz.
