Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

The 44th – Next Stop Havana

The 44th President may end up undoing something that his predecessors have been doing for decades. Cuba has been off limits for thanks to numerous Presidents. 

But Barrack Obama is going to name a very Pro-Cuba Transportation Secretary. 

The trio, former SEC commissioner Mary Schapiro, retiring Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood — a Republican — and former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, could play an important collective role in restoring investor confidence and reviving the economy. Obama was expected to announce some, if not all, of the appointments today in Chicago.

[...]

Obama’s choice of LaHood, a Republican congressman from Peoria, Ill., to serve as transportation secretary, fulfills a promise to name Republicans to the Cabinet. LaHood, who has transportation legislation experience, would play an important part beginning early next year in shaping how billions of infrastructure dollars are spent to stimulate the U.S. economy.

Schapiro and LaHood’s selections were confirmed by a senior Democrat with knowledge of the process who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the nominations hadn’t been announced.

[...]

LaHood, a former transportation committee member, enjoys a reputation as a moderate. LaHood also has a good relationship with many Democrats, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., who will be Obama’s White House chief of staff.

In Congress, LaHood has championed lifting travel restrictions to Cuba. He testified at a hearing in September that U.S.-Cuba policy “makes no sense today when Cuba poses no significant national security threat, and many Cold War travel restrictions to other parts of the world have already been abolished.”

That’s right we’re going to have a Cuba lover in the Cabinet. Well, since America now shares many of the same economic policies as Communist Cuba, I guess it isn’t a threat any more. :( Add to that Obama’s own Marxist theory of Government, and well, it is a match made in Havana. 
Obama may follow through on his promise to change America. Yep, we’re going to embrace our enemy with open lips …. er, borders.

    Sooner or later somebody was bound to forget that we embarked on this embargo because Castro bloodily grabbed power and then simply stole whole industries and other private property to build his communist dreamland, without paying for them. That’s what “stealing” means. The reason we won’t trade with him is because he is using the resources of OUR citizens to sell us what WE already owned. Simple economics. Now, of course, we shouldn’t be trading with him because he imprisons and spies on his people and won’t allow free elections. He’s not big enough to get into the “Axis of Evil” club, but he is qualified.
