Libya--the Mideast Cuba?
I was just a teenager back in 1959 but I can still recall the great hullabaloo, predominantly positive hulabaloo, over Fidel Castro, with the media referring to him as the “George Washington of Cuba” and exulting over their darling’s victory over the evil Fulgencio Batista, with teachers all a-bubble with excitement since Cuba was finally free.
Not only was Batista, El Hombre, a dictator but he had illegally seized power, had consorted with gamblers and known criminals, and suffered from the severe liability (to American leftists) of being friendly toward the United States.
Similar to the 2008 hype for Barack Hussein Obama, his successor, Fidel Castro was hailed a a savior, a man of the people who would bring joy and prosperity to his island nation. Fidel couldn’t quite walk on water as Obama could but he seemed to share most other Obama qualities and oratorical skills, sans teleprompters.
Not known at the time, with the able assistance of his fellow Marxist revolutionary, Che Guevara, Fidel would imprison and murder tens of thousands of his countrymen, come close to initiating World War III, and reduce Cuba to an economic basket case.
An added bonus for leftist Castrophiles is that, unlike Batista, Fidel hates America.
Although they may not smoke cigars because Islam and Allah frown on tobacco products, the Libyan rebels now on the verge of deposing Muammar Khadaffi and hopefully doing unto him what Iraqis did unto Saddam Hussein may very well turn out to be far worse for U.S. interests than both “mad dog of the Middle East” and the mad dog of the Caribbean.
Khadaffi was certainly not one of America’s best buddies and continued to support international Islamic terrorism yet he, allegedly, abandoned his efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction in 2003, after America massively visited mass destruction on Afghanistan and Hussein’s regime.
Nevertheless, “The devil you know . . . ” and Libyan rebel devils may soon make the United States yearn for the good, old Muammar days.
Our president, peace-lover that he is, refused to concede that our war in Libya was even a war.
The White House opted to describe the conflict as a “kinetic military action” while we kinetically led NATO forces against Khadaffi loyalists, launched hundreds of kinetic Tomahawk cruise missiles against Tripoli and loyalist strongholds, and gave Syria’s equally-treacherous Bashar al-Assad a free pass.
You see, war bad, kinetic military action good in Obamaese. As for Assad, the Obamians haven’t a clue what to do.
Like Fidel Castro who was deemed good contrasted with Fulgencio Batista, the Libyan rebels are likewise considered the good guys compared to Khadaffi. Like Castro, they are likely to bite America on its collective arse, only more severely. . .

Sharia, DOJ, Border, Cuban Surprises!
Sharia, DOJ, Border, Cuban Surprises!
We all just love surprises, no? Well, most people seem to even if I don’t although I have to admit some surprises can be entertaining.
For instance, it came as a total surprise that Muslim Sharia law can supersede the Constitution in America. At least that’s the case with Hillsborough Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen in Tampa, Florida.
Judge Nielsen was all verklempt over a lawsuit against a local mosque, the Islamic Education Center of Tampa so what else could he do but conclude, ”This case will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law” to determine whether the mosque followed Koranic law in a matter involving an Islamic scholar: http://bit.ly/gtALT4
The mosque attorney made more sense than the judge when he said, “The mosque believes wholeheartedly in the Koran and its teachings. They certainly follow Islamic law in connection with their spiritual endeavors. But with respect to secular endeavors, they believe Florida law should apply in Florida courts.”
Makes sense to me. I mean, Tampa isn’t London.
Equally surprising, and galling, was the decision by Eric Holder’s Department of Justice to deny justice in school bullying situations–an area of law for which we are still searching for federal constitutional authority–toward straight white people. President Obama and AG Holder have already, repeatedly, demonstrated an antipathy toward white Americans and now have furthered that discrimination by vowing to apply federal law selectively.
They will “enforce federal laws that protect students from discrimination and harassment at school because of their race, national origin, disability, religion, and sex, including harassment based on nonconformity with gender stereotypes.” http://bit.ly/dE2r6H
If you’re some poor, normal white kid being harrassed, pummeled, discriminated against, you’re SOL. If you’re black, yellow, Kenyan, Buddhist, gay, transgendered, the feds have your back.
Another surprise, at least to our present government, is that all those millions of illegal aliens–sorry, undocumented, poor people . . .

News Melange: ICE, Fidel, Rodney King
News Melange: ICE, Fidel, Rodney King
From the Good News/Bad News Department: The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, affectionately known as ICE, announced that as of September 5, 2010 it had apprehended 506,232 illegal aliens over the course of about 10 months. That’s about 50,623 bad guys and gals per month nabbed by the agency, which is pretty outstanding enforcement.
That’s the good news.
The bad news about ICE, which could also be termed the TBA, for Teats on a Bull Agency, is that they also announced they had released 506,232 illegal aliens who are now no longer considered illegal aliens but rather fugitive aliens.
ICE/TBA takes a curious approach to law enforcement and fulfilling its mission; its approach is founded on placing trust in its apprehendees.
In effect, our federal agents say to the criminal, illegal aliens, “Now, you be good, okay? Just show up on the appointed day so we can have a hearing and deport you. Got that?” The illegals gladly say, “Si, senor!” and are never seen or heard from again,. . .

Amusing Paranoia, Goofy Silliness
Amusing Paranoia, Goofy Silliness
“Man doth not live by bread alone.” He also needs some laughs amidst all the dire warnings and true dangers in our world to make that bread more palatable.
Fortunately, mankind being what it is, someone is always out there who will temper the serious with some chuckles, intentionally or not.
Amusing Paranoia: Fidel’s Cuba has long thrived on keeping its slaves paralyzed with fear.
Ever since the Bay of Pigs fiasco when JFK made the mistake of listening to the dovish Adlai Stevenson and refused to furnish promised air support for the Cuban espatriates’ foiled invasion to take back their homeland, Castro’s Communist regime has employed the “fear weapon” to keep his subjects in line.
Why Cuba’s 11 million sheeple would be so terrified of becoming free people again is only explicable by 41 years of Communist brainwashing which has made them virtual automatons.
Che Guevara-less, they labor in state-owned sugar cane fields, sweat on state-owned Cuban tobacco leaves, and toil in state-owned factories, ever mindful that those damned Yanquis will somehow mess with their Utopia on Earth.
Things haven’t changed much since Fidel fell down, nearly broke his crown, developed diverticulitis, and passed the family dictator baton to baby bro, Raul.
Which Castro is responsible for the latest invocation of paranoia is debatable but it’s evident that old time Castroism is still alive and well: According to Reuters, Cuba has launched “war games” in anticipation of “a possible invasion by the United States.”
Designated “Bastion 2009,” the preparation is necessary because there “exists a real possibility of a military aggression against Cuba:” http://bit.ly/7DfMoF
Either Fidel and Raul should get a reality check, or at least buy a vowel.
With Obama residing in the White House and their residing in presidential palaces, the likelihood of an American-sponsored invasion of Castroland is on a par with Obama’s determination to bring about American solvency and to adequately protect the United States.
The Castro tag team should rest easy in their opulent surroundings content in the knowledge that they’re perfectly safe. Under their system of government, all Cubans are created equal although some are more equal than others. And they’re in the catbird seat.
Goofy Silliness: The grand ol’ dame of Democrat politics, Helen Thomas, has been a White House fixture since, I think, shortly after Grover Cleveland ran for his second term. . . .
