La Siempre Fidelísima Isla

"Cuba is the country to which I would move if I really did want a government that persecuted those who engaged in homosexual acts." I have written that many times, here and elsewhere. It really, really, really gets under certain people's skins. Well, now they can take the matter up with Fidel Castro himself.

Now that there is no longer an American Administration full of people who have never recanted their Trotskyism, President Obama should lift the entire blockade, which only attracts sympathy to this regime that does not deserve it, perhaps most notable as the model for Britain's impregnable pseudo-comprehensive schools by means of which the real, but vigorously self-denying, ruling class perpetuates itself from generation to generation.

He has already shown his indifference towards the Israel Lobby that so damages American (and Israeli) interests. So he should have no problem against the anti-American activities of vastly less numerous Cuban pretend-exiles, who are in fact economic migrants and free to go back any time they like, and who, far from being conservative, merely wish to restore the Cuba that existed before 1959, a giant drug den and brothel for the American super-rich.
