After blogging on Cuban issues for a couple of months, I've decided to update the categories with two new sections, Anti-Castro Hardliners; and Sympathetic to the Cuban Government; The original Cuban Connection section has elements of both of these. For all you Castro-hating, Democracy espousing readers out there, revel in the irreverence of the 26th Parallel and Cuban American Pundits. Fidel sympathizers can commiserate with like-minded lefties on Cuba Solidarity and Hands Off Cuba.
Just from monitoring the web on this issue, I can say that the anti-Castro, pro-Cuba Democracy advocates are much more committed, judging by the frequency with which blogs are updated; much more active, judging by the amount of anti-Fidel Castro blogs; and wonderfully uncensored.
What fun is blogging if you don't know what the other side is thinking? Enter them at your own risk.
C'mon guys... Let's not allow an ignorant, cantankerous honkey and a naive, contentious simpleton get us all in a huff.
I'd just as easy let them wallow in their own warped credulousness than feed their bigotry with direct replies.

:::takes in deep breath::: ah, the air in here is quite thick... John you have succeeded in yanking my chain in the past, to see how far I would go and how many bites I would take, but in the end I've just come to realize you're a waste of breath and energy. I could go on and on, but the world seems to look a little brighter and turn a little better when I just sit back and read you bullshit, without actually responding to it. It's been fun... hope you and your cowboy hat enjoy the sun, and make sure you get some spf 50 on that "real" American skin of yours, I've heard you people burn easily.

John,
I am with you 100%. I recently moved to North Carolina from Miami. It was time to get away from all the f-ing cubans. Yes you are all "chusma". I was raised in Miami by my cuban grandmother and mother and know first hand how crazy those people are. I have seen Miami change from a clean friendly city to a dangerous, overpopulated, overbuilt, overpolluted, unhospitable, hostile one. I have known most Cubans to be inconsiderate, confrontational, name calling, unreasonable, unjust people.
But as luck would have it, my boyfriend who I love is a marielito no less. We argue all the time. What upsets me is when he says things like "Dade County belongs to the cubans" and "cubans are better than Mexicans" I am so glad that I now have you to back me up. Hey lets have lunch in Blowing Rock! Lol

I would like to know where this Cuban Chicano stuff came from. I am Chicano, conservative and support a Cuba without Castro. I have never heard of a Cuban Chicano. Someone will have to shed some light on that.

Just the title alone is racist. Alysa, you've got to be kidding. This is what is wrong with this country, people like John thinking he is too good for others. I am puro Chicano and proud. I do not feel Chicanos are any better or worse than any Latino group and or human being. It must heart to be so damn racist. Some day you might have to move from where you are now! You know us Latinos we sure do multiply! :) Keep running you pendejo!
Cuban Chicano? :) LOL!!!!
