Cuba starts widespread rationing of food and other basics

[Common]

During Katrina Cuba immediately offered to bring medical supplies and doctors but $#@! Bush refused to let them. Where is OUR charity to that tiny islands people so close to our shores?

Castro, like Hitler, declared their respective countries democrat societies. Each held the most important elections only once.

I pondered after reading your reply. It is simply amazing that a group of people got together well over 200 years ago and drafted a constitution . one that is still a masterpiece of relevence and success of societal design thru the ages , magnitude and complexities of a civilzed people ?A "civilized" people which by extension defines the same spirit today brought forth by the Founders?

Government welfare has stripped most people of their dignity. They no longer have a need to strive, for it is all handed to them if they whine enough.
There's your despotism and corruption.
And yet as a nation, we are encouraged it than to work against it.

If ever there were a good reason to reject Marxism -- Cuba's it.

Just wonderful. Another dang chicken/egg thing to ponder. What came first Econonic Crisis/Missle crisis or was it Missle crisis / Economic crisis.

I have no problem with the Cubans. I hope they dont starve. Is the dictator to lazy to steal what they need from Mexico? They have all kinds of food there. Taco suffle' , Scrambled Taco, Taco Tacos, Cordon Bleu Taco, Taco Bubba Gump, PO Boy Tacos, Taco Loaf.
I need to dust off my dictator resume' and help out

The BRAIN tacos are out of this world! And PIG GUT tacos, too!
Some call it "The Last Supper"!

Fillipinos eat the most God awful food. I know I lived with a gal. She was my LBFM!

Bingo. This nation is a collection of people largely consisting of one group that is afraid of anything that is not a form of enforced conformity. A nation of people so needy of others to define for them what they can say, think and do that they want it to apply to those that are not afraid to think or step out beyond a sociatal norm . This nation is a collection of humorless and ignorant followers who either never had the ability to think or prosper or allowed the ability to wither via non use. There is a lot I would add but the above described are afraid to hear it and by design have enforcement to be sure they don't.

Really? I had decided on marinated dog paws in creme of raw sewage over a finely prepared layer of rat tails. I had a nice lunch today. The jewish kids down the street set up a food trailer stolen from the Puerto Ricans by a group of aspiring Hitler Youth and then stolen back by a struggeling rock band that was duped by counter protesters who had turned it over on the sidewalk in front of the First Methodist Abortion clinic
Dr StrangeDre the Gentile Shish K Bobs were excellent. So tender. The skin slid right off the arms.
