Obama's Office Flies Che Flag — Page 2

I don't hate anyone. I just question things I hear from snake oil salesmen and zealots. The first have greed behind the things they say and the second have demagoguery bending their words. There may be a truth behind each of them - but I have to do some digging to find it for myself.

NEVER. That would be a violation of their sacred responsibility as a broadcaster.

(i love ya, joe, but that last one's cnn! )

Here- We can all agree their accuracy is undisputed!

"but I have to do some digging to find it for myself."

And while you're digging you have no problems casting insults at other people.

I know my Miles.

And I'm not talking Harold Gould.

Or relevant. But boy, Goth sure likes to trot out that old chestnut.

Joe i wasnt offended by your posts... :) no worries. i was just commenting on the fact that i have met many people in the past who are shocked by my feelings about Che. they usually dont think he was that bad of a guy or dont know anything about him and are confused about why it would affect me negatively or rile me up.

my grandparents (both college graduates in cuba) came to the USA in 61 with nothing (they came by plane, so no rafter jokes! hahaha). both highly educated people starting from scratch, they lost it all. all they have to remind them of their country are a few photographs and their memories. they LOVE LOVE LOVE america. they love that they came here with nothing and were able to become successful business people again. they are very well off, as are my parents (college graduates here in the USA). They attribute all their success to the opportunities the USA offered them. They are grateful to the USA, and they wish they could see their Cuba again, but they still talk freely about "those days" and what they remember. My grandfather remembers the day he tried to go to class at the university and it was closed. He remembers when the government took away his first small business. I learned all about Che not just from the history books, but from those who lived it. and i completely understand why they're so apprehensive and scared by democrats that are as liberal as Obama... they automatically fear "socialism"... i get it. i know they shouldnt be scared, you know they shouldnt be scared, but they are! its hard. they're old. it still stings for them. Its fresh in their mind.

to javero - no my parents arent exactly thrilled about me being a democrat. in fact, they're downright disappointed... but like i said above, they equate being a democrat with being "too liberal". and its harder for them to accept... even worse for my grandparents... i'd say most Cuban-Americans, especially those from Miami, would definitely NOT be democrats. lol.

findingnamo - I cant tell if you were joking, if you were, then ok, if not, then whatever... good for you.

and to lildog - you may not think communism is "evil", but are you saying "it's not that bad"?
