4. Pity you don't communicate with people who go to Cuba.

There are innumerable stories which have been related by Cuba travelers, starting YEARS ago about tourists they've met from other countries, like Canada, etc. who have told them over and over that travelers absolutely DREAD the day the US will open the floodgates and Cuba gets overrun by U.S. interests.

Many have mentioned they have gone there precisely to see Cuba before the US Americans destroy it.

Has absolutely nothing whatsoever with "Castro supporters," as anyone sober would grasp. These people are tourists, not "commie lovers."

Maybe there's a conservative site where people welcome lunatic right-wing name-callers and hate mongers would enjoy your compulsion.

You didn't realize?You're unaware that attempting to claim posters are commie-lovers is name-calling Judi Lynn Jan 2015 #7
