Cuban-Americans as Canaries in Coal Mine

Regarding snootiness and backstabbery toward mainstream Republicans, Kathleen Parker is probably outdoing Peggy Noonan. I noticed something interesting: both of these "conservatives" were dissing Cuban-Americans years ago--not overtly, but snidely, in a Wayne Smith/ Phil Peters sort of way.

It seems we're the canaries in the coal mine to detect Republican turncoats. First they turn on us (the supreme chusma-yokels, and the safest to diss within their social circles) shortly they turn on their native chusmas, as in Palin and her supporters.

Regarding the Bay of Pigs, Noonan wrote: "The battle lasted half a day and the invaders quickly surrendered." The muchachos down at the Bay of Pigs vets assoc. could enlighten Ms Noonan on that issue. Upon Castro's debilitation in summer 2006, she wrote an article calling for an end to the embargo, despite the political pressure of Cuban-Americans.

And This column by Parker could have been written by Wayne Smith or Julia Sweig.

I just found this interesting.
