Marco Rubio: Lost, Lonely Boy

Cuba Libre!

Or, in other words, "free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, they're free at last!"

The Cuban people, that is. Not those who've lived in Florida for one, five, 10 or 50 years and think our government is wrong in finally dealing with "the Cuban issue" by reversing a policy that has failed for more than a half century in attempting to create democracy, but those who actually live in Cuba; who have, with incredible fortitude, withstood the onslaught of the Castro regime. To Cubans in Florida I would say "you're HERE and they're THERE! And THEY are the people we're trying to help, and will help with the move toward normalization. But not everybody understands this, including little Marco Rubio, who has lived in Florida all his life and is finally having to come to terms with the lie he has perpetuated about when exactly his parents really left Cuba.

But forget the idiot Rubio for a moment. What I want to know is how can Cubans here in the U.S. not want their homeland (their "homeland" – ha!) to be free? Over and over again, such exposure to democracy has worked around the world, specifically throughout Europe in the past quarter-century. But the opposition to Obama's announcement want to keep up the same old, tired tactic … "tell us, naysayers – after 50+ years of failure, how do you expect this strategy to suddenly work?" Of course, they've been expecting it to do so for … oh, 50+ years.

Now if you're part of the old-time Cuban guard, I understand, to a degree. But the likes of Marco Rubio?

For those who, like Rubio, oppose this move because the Castro regime still oppresses its people … ("Really? It does?!?! Big surprise! Of course it does, you dumbass!") What Obama is trying to do is help the people, not the regime.

It's time to drown these rats out and we need idiots like Marco Rubio to get out of the way.
