Rand Paul is a............

I give up trying to explain it to you.

if a kid passing thru our airports coming from North Korea or CUBA,
appeals to us for assylum, then we shoud let him stay here, out of mercy.
If he changes his mind, then let him go wherever he wants. THAT IS my vu in the matter, Bill. 100% libertarian

Sorry it the child had been 13 years old at the time
I might had given some credit to your claims that he wish not to
go back with his father,

however I saw that film where his so call Miami family had him parrot the words
anyone could tell had been place into his mouth.

You can not get take a young child away from his parents
and if you can get him to parrot a statement that he or she does not wish to return
to his family used that as an excuse not to return him.

Is it not strange that now he is a teenager and had stated many times he is happy to be home with his father
I am sure you will grant such statements with any credit.

I thought about this thread as I weeded and tried to pull out the landscaping stones a former owner used in lieu of gutters.

Not to have returned Elian to his father's custody, as his father wished, would have been a crime against the family.

There are many details of this family's story that we do not know and will never know, details which, frankly, don't matter.
We do not know of the relationship between Elian's parents.

I skimmed some of the reportage at the time and learned two interesting details: that one of Lazaro Gonzales' brothers, the famous great uncle of Elian, promoted the return of Elian to his father and that the father objected to the son being the subject of so many television news stories. So, the family was internally divided and Juan Miguel wanted privacy for his son.

That leaves just one more item to remember: that had Elian been forced to remain in the US,
he would not have been free.
A forced residency isn't freedom.

Sorry but the young man is happy

and people can be happy under a government you do care for or even I do not care for.

And a child have a right to be raised by a loving parent instead
of the joke of the Miami family along with a caste of thousands.

We have no right to harm a child to made a point.

when communism collapsed in Russia,

The corruption of the Government, the brutality of the police, the regime's indifference to the needs of the people for education, medical care, housing, for social justice and economic justice ... is an open invitation to revolution. ”

" Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., when asked by the U.S. government to analyze Batista's Cuba

US official documents that have been recently been declassified show that, between October 1960 and April 1961, the CIA smuggled in 75 tons of explosives into Cuba during 30 clandestine air operations, and infiltrated 45 tons of weapons and explosives during 31 sea incursions. Also during that short seven-month time span, the CIA carried out 110 attacks with dynamite, planted 200 bombs, derailed six trains and burned 150 factories and 800 plantations.

Between 1959 and 1997, the United States carried out 5,780 terrorist actions against Cuba " 804 of them considered as terrorist attacks of significant magnitude, including 78 bombings against the civil population that caused thousands of victims.

Terrorist attacks against Cuba have cost 3,478 lives and have left 2,099 people permanently disabled. Between 1959 and 2003, there were 61 hijackings of planes or boats. Between 1961 and 1996, there were 58 attacks from the sea against 67 economic targets and the population.

The CIA has directed and supported over 4,000 individuals in 299 paramilitary groups. They are responsible for 549 murders and thousands of people wounded.

In 1971, after a biological attack, half a million pigs had to be killed to prevent the spreading of swine fever. In 1981, the introduction of dengue fever caused 344,203 victims killing 158 of whom 101 were children. On July 6th, 1982, 11,400 cases were registered in one day alone.

Most of these aggressions were prepared in Florida by the CIA-trained and financed extreme right wing of Cuban origin.

We have the right to comply with his expressed wishes.

Elian was effectively kidnapped when the distant relatives in FL decided, under pressure, that the child should not be returned to his natural father, from whom the child was first kidnapped by the estranged mother. Perhaps the child, staying in Cuba, will help with the eventual and preordained demise of communism in Cuba.

Does anyone have the video that Elian Gonzalez so call Miami family film of him stating his wishes to remain in Miami?

I look for it on Youtube without luck as I would wish for all to see how this poor child were prompt to made that video.

I remember seeing such videos in connection to POWs but never a young child before or since.

Thank god he was removed from the control of such people.

Slavery my rear end you do not engage your mind at all do you when it come to evil commies.

They are both members of the party in good standing so they might by your way of thinking be slavers but not slaves.

let them get a little out of line and see what happens.
