You´re right, I´m smiling. It might be a small victory, but it sure is sweet! Take that fidel and company, no more American dollars from that source, or young minds to fill with vile propaganda. Little by little....

Val,

You reprimanded me for using the term "cojones", well used within the english language and even in TV to despict lack of corage as an un nesesary insult to put a point across "insult".

However, you use the term "kiss my ass" refering to Mr Wayne Smith use of the US court system.

Cuba American double standards?

Tango

Tango,

I did not post this.

Poor little rich kids can't play Che. Boo hoo.

It's entertaining to see those who cite "academic freedom" demanding to travel to a country which has none. Perhaps if they did their part in trying to secure such freedoms for Cuba, they would be allowed such travel- but not that bunch.

Tango, I'm not Val and Val isn't me?

Get it. I don't know what your beef it but you know what you can do if you don't like the rules...

If it's really an academic program, then it should last well beyond the two weeks of a typical vacation....right?

And mine too.

So henry what are your rules, same as in Cuba:

"Dentro de la rebolucion todo, fuera de la rebolucion nada".

Dont come up with "guaperias", because you are losing the moral ground here and you become no less than the thugs back in cuba.

Tango

Tango,

let me interject here. You made a comment in one of my threads that I deemed not only insulting but unmerited and I asked, respectfully, that you and every one else refrain from such stupidity.

Now you come into this thread and whine abut Henry using the term "kiss my ass" to wayne Smith. Your comment and Henry's are two completely different statements. Yours was meant to debase and insult, Henry's wasnt.

Thats neither here nor there, tho, because this is my house and we play by my rules. If you cant accept that and respect my house, kindly go somewhere else.

Val, no problem.

Henry, don't be presumptuous with Mr. Smith. It's already been established that his clearly preferred ass, Fidel's, tastes like chicken. I'm sure your ass is perfectly adequate, but Mr. Smith is no doubt an ass gourmand. You can't expect him to do without what he is so very accustomed to. Please try to be more considerate in future.

Tango,

No this is America where private property rights are respected. And since Babalu isn't your property, you don't get a say in how it's administered. You can do whatever you want, you just can't do it here.

The man's been a flack for Fidel, since he was Vice Consul in Santiago in 1957. No need to stop now.

HAPPY,HAPPY,JOY,JOY.

WARNING: reading Wayne Smith’s web page will make you want to puke.

In addition to being a leftist liberal SOB, Wayne Smith, “is Senior Fellow and Director, Cuba program: Smith is a CIP Senior Fellow and directs the Cuba Program and is a contributor to the National Security Program. He is a visiting professor of Latin American Studies and Director of the University of Havana exchange Program at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. He is a former Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. During his twenty-five years with the State Department (1957-82), he served as executive secretary of President Kennedy's Latin American Task Force and chief of mission at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana. In addition, he served in Argentina, Brazil and the Soviet Union.”

The National Security Program is an organization associated with Wayne Smith’s Center for International Policy, whose mission, by the way, is to promote “a foreign policy based on cooperation, demilitarization and respect for basic human rights.” That is, of course, unless your “basic human rights” are being violated by a government of the left.

One of the foundations that “support” this organization is none other than ARCA Foundation. Remember little Elian Gonzalez? Remember the dinner party thrown in Georgetown for Juan Miguel Gonzalez and little Elian by the heirs of R.J. Tobacco fortune, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Elizabeth Bagley? The Bagleys ARE major contributors to Democratic Party candidates. They have also lobbied (for years, and years, and years, etc) to end economic sanctions against Cuba. In fact "Smith Bagley (director of ARCA) and the Arca Foundation is the pro-Castro lobby's sugar daddy. Arca is a walkup window for free checks passed out to any and all comers with an ideological ax to grind against U.S. policy on Cuba."

Wayne Smith is in fact a very busy leftist liberal #$%&. He is also a “member” of “Global Exchange” an organization that supports the END of ALL travel restrictions to Cuba. He is also among the signatories of a petition (as is Lisandro Perez, and Juan A. Martinez, both FIU professors)

Wayne Smith also Co-Chairs ECDET (Emergency Coalition to Defend International Travel) and among its members you will also find Lisandro Perez.

Henry,

Good old Wayne Smith. I remember listening to an interview once where he called Castro an "egalitarian".

The dictionary defines that as" "A belief in human equality with respect to social, political and economic rights and privileges."

Oh Wayne, credible means: "Offering reasonable grounds to be believed."

BTW for what its worth, my dictionary told Way Smith to go kiss....
