Communist Cuba turns 50!

[Sailsia]

Of course we are generous. We sent 50 billion dollars in military aid to Saudi Arabia just a few months ago. Which other nation is doing THAT!

We're generously bombing the shit out of the middle east. Look at all those bombs we're giving them, and no gratitude lolz

inorite?
Those Arab civilians should get on their knees and thank us for generously giving their governments those tear gas canisters, rubber bullets, and air-plane bombs.

It's so nice to know you lump all dems together, and assume that because I'm center left, I'm a dem too. I hate the democratic party just as much as the republican party. They are both funded by the same corporations, and both parties assert corporatist policies. I'm unaffiliated. I view modern political parties as basic tools for corruption.

I already mentioned I hate Wilson, and favor Theodore Roosevelt more than any other president in our history. I also disagree with what Roosevelt did with the Japanese, but I think he also did a great deal of good too. Wilson was just a racist tool.

I can feel ya man. People are always calling me a liberal, and I have to teach them that Communists are not liberals. People just assume and generalize.

I feel you. What liberal supports the 2nd ammendment? Every good communist should own a gun, & have one to give a coworker or neighbor.

Edit: anyway thanks for all the posts folks. As Reagan would say "Bedtime for Bonzo". Goodnight NS.

On a more serious note, Liberals can vary in terminology. Laissez-Affaire to Social Progressive. Communist/Socialist is a league of it's own.

One of many definitions of a liberal is an individual who favors disrupting the status quo; communists and socialists fit neatly into this definition in most countries.

Yes, but I am not a liberal, in either the economic or social meanings of the word. I am not putting American social progressives down, at least they're not the greedy republicans or the ultra-capitalist libertarians, but I am not a liberal. I just get annoyed that people have no idea what the political spectrum actually looks like.

Lolz. I believe we've officially stepped into the Twilight Zone of politically apathetic realms, A.K.A this thread.

Well, happy birthday commie Cuba.

Which political spectrum? There are many.

Good point. I and all of my communist friends are all for owning firearms. We ain't liberals, and we ain't pacifist hippies either.

Dude, the political spectrum is a swirling penis of infertility and birth-defected children.

Everyone knows that.

Wait, if the penises are infertile how did the children get there?

Emphasize the and. Best of both worlds......somewhat....

Ah good for them i guess, so who wants to grave a sniper rifle and kill the Castro's?

While I'm not a communist, I also agree with the second amendment. Of course, it's probably not for the same reasons as you.

My bad, somehow I read your original post there as someone who favors the status quo. My mistake.

The embargo needs to end.

Yes. Seriously. It's people are suffering because of it.

[Sibirsky]

Show me a person who was elected based upon his government assistance policies, rather than other issues considered more important.

Rangel ran on a platform of foreign aid?

You make it sound like I have ulterior motives, lolz

That one's my bad for not making it more clear. *Show me a person who was elected based on his foreign aid policies.

[Sibirsky]

By the way, I maintain that the idea that the US is the world's most generous nation is a myth. http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2676

Americans are the most generous people in the world, measured by charitable giving as a percent of GDP. Americans give twice as much (1.67% of GDP) as the next most charitable country, the U.K. at 0.73%, according to this study by the Charities Aid Foundation (chart above is taken from the study). Americans give almost 12 times as much as the French and almost 8 times as much as the Germans. In fact, Americans give more as a percent of GDP than France, Germany, Turkey, New Zealand, Singapore and the Netherlands COMBINED!

I interpreted govt. assistance policies as welfare for some reason

It was clear based on context.

Maybe.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of fear you'll be dragged off in the middle of the night by "teh sibr poleez".

So you admit that we do not have control over foreign policy and aid?

Tell me, is Obama, who's campaign platform was basically "I'm not Bush" really that different on foreign policy?
