Myriam Marquez Asks ALL the Right Questions
Thursday, April 9th, 2009After writing my post about the CBC’s trip to Cuba, I found a marvelous article that Myriam Marquez wrote for the Miami Herald. Ms. Marquez’s column asks all the right questions, which is why I’m recommending everyone reads it. Here’s a sample of Ms. Marquez’s column:

The CBC is willingly blinding itself to the atrocities that Fidel commits on a daily basis. What’s stunning to me is that they were turning a blind eye to these atrocities while our president was profusely apologizing for the United States’ actions.
What’s wrong with this picture? The Leader of the Free World spends a week apologizing for the United States, the greatest liberator in the history of the world while seven members of the CBC heap praise on a despotic ruler who imprisons men who “think outside the communist box of limitations.”
What’s wrong with this picture? The Leader of the Free World didn’t lift a finger to stand up for the country he’s president of while the CBC’s puppets didn’t lift a finger to stand up to one of the most evil totalitarians in the history of the Western Hemisphere. (more…)
