The Congressional Black Caucus Should Just Stick To Throwing Galas

I firmly believe that were it not for double standard liberals would have not standards at all. How pray tell do these Congressmen and Congresswomen demonize the Bush administration for waterboarding yet laud Fidel Castro a known murderer! Let's take a look at his record shall we:

"Castro tried to get Nikita Khrushchev to nuke several southern cities in the US in the early 1960’s, including New Orleans and probably Baton Rouge.
He incarcerates more people as a percentage of population than Hitler or Stalin did.
He murdered 17,000 Cubans and (several dozen U.S. citizens) with firing squads and dumped their bullet-riddled bodies in mass graves.
He has impoverished and brutalized Cuba to the point where 20 percent of its population risked their lives to flee. And prior to his glorious reign, Cuba took in more immigrants per capita than any country in the Western Hemisphere . More Americans lived in Cuba than Cubans in the U.S. , and Cuba even had to turn away European immigrants.
Castro sent his agents to torture to death American POWs in North Vietnam ’s Cu Loc POW camp outside Hanoi in 1967. "(Source)

It's very ironic that Bobby Rush (D-Ill) former black panther member de facto "racism chaser" would feel comfortable with Castro. Rush describe his time with Castro as "like listening to an old friend". You would think at least Rush would have some knowledge of Cuba's record on racism since he is in the racism business. Heck Wikipedia has a plethera of information regarding racism in Cuba:

"According to anthropologists dispatched by the European Union, racism is systemic and institutional.[2] Blacks are systematically excluded from positions that tourism related jobs, where they could earn tips in hard currencies.[2] According to the EU study, blacks are relegated to poor housing, complained of the longest waits for healthcare, were excluded from managerial positions, received the lowest remittances from relatives abroad, and were five times more likely to be imprisoned.”[2]
Enrique Patterson describes race as “social bomb” and says that “If the Cuban government were to permit black Cubans to organize and raise their problems before [authorities] . . . totalitarianism would fall”.[5] Esteban Morales Domínguez, a professor in the University of Havana, says that “The absence of the debate on the racial problem already threatens . . . the revolution’s social project”.[5] Carlos Moore, who has authored extensive on the issue, says that “There is an unstated threat, blacks in Cuba know that whenever you raise race in Cuba, you go to jail. Therefore the struggle in Cuba is different. There cannot be a civil rights movement. You will have instantly 10,000 black people dead”.[5] He says that a new generation of black Cubans are looking at politics in another way.[5] Barack Obama’s victory has raised disturbing questions about the institutional racism in Cuba.[2] The Economist noted “The danger starts with his example: after all, a young, black, progressive politician has no chance of reaching the highest office in Cuba, although a majority of the island’s people are black.”[6]
Jorge Luis García Pérez, who was imprisoned and tortured for 17 years, states “The authorities in my country have never tolerated that a black person oppose the regime. During the trial, the color of my skin aggravated the situation. Later when I was mistreated in prison by guards, they always referred to me as being black”.[7]"(Source)

First PSBO goes abroad and apologizes for America, then his posse (the CBC) goes to Cuba to get all warm and fuzzy with a murderous communist dictator -- and still his acolytes are hopeful and want to give him a chance. What's next? Oh yes, how could I forget North Korea spits in our face by launching a nuclear missile and PSBO intends to scrap our nuclear missiles. Seriously, in order to support Obama you HAVE to be in serious denial, absolutely detest this country, or be a complete idiot or all of the above. So since the CBC are Obama supporters and are complete morons the most patriotic thing they can do moving forward is just keep on throwing galas it seems to be what they do best--although I'll never buy another ticket.
