An Analytical Look at Current Events and our Culture

spacer.gif (437 bytes)Send The Punk Home!

     Sorry for the use of the word "punk"…however I feel it is sometimes necessary to use childish put downs to accomplish a higher goal. My apologies. Now on to business. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THIS CUBAN KID? THIS IS A NO BRAINER!!!!!!!! SEND THE PUNK HOME ! …..NOW!!!! A one-celled amoeba could settle this one. In their dedicated and never ending quest to demonstrate their total and complete estrangement from the attitudes and opinions of the majority of Americans and the rest of mankind the Republican party has done it again. My head is spinning from the hypocrisy 

rlinev.gif (309 bytes) "I guess a father is only important in a child’s life if he’s not a Commie." rlinev.gif (309 bytes)

…Aren’t these guys the party of Dan Quayle?….. who accused Murphy Brown of mocking the importance of fathers? … who preach that gov’t should stay out of the private business of families? Aren’t they always screeching about how a child needs a mother AND father? And accusing the LEFT of destroying family values and creating single parent families? …. I guess a father is only important in a child’s life if he’s not a Commie. And I guess kids born in a Communist country don’t need Dads?! Somebody pinch me! WHAT PLANET AM I ON? Am I nuts?….Is there a new world order? And aren’t these also the guys who are against immigration in almost every other case?….. 

And as for that most loathsome of low lives…..Al Gore. Who would have guessed there existed on this planet somebody with even less character, fewer core convictions and less courage than Bill Clinton?!!! I guess The Wooden One has been burning the midnight oil taking pandering lessons from the Master. 

And screw these idiots that are attacking Clinton and Reno for what should be lauded as a perfect operation. For once Janet Reno, the Empress of Ineptitude and her Keystone Kops operation, which ordinarily could barely be counted on to get a cat out of a tree without killing somebody, pulled it off. I thought for sure this would turn into Waco 2 . Where is the praise from the people so quick to condemn during the Waco debacle? Nobody was hurt. Which is more than those anarchists, who felt that they could do whatever they wanted with somebody else’s kid, deserved.

And Clinton’s critics who never miss an opportunity to disgrace themselves and everything they allegedly stand for, once again have demonstrated a level of gutlessness that is even more shocking than I would have given them credit for. These despicable Republicans, who never ever seem to be against the use of force in any context, and who constantly carp about how "the rule of law must be enforced " in every other situation that I can remember …..THESE GUYS ARE SUDDENLY CRITICAL OF UPHOLDING THE LAW???!!!!!! Republicans calling for RESTRAINT???!!! REPUBLICANS suddenly sounding like Peter Paul and Mary????? What the hell is going on??!!!!

Has everybody gone nuts???!!!! These people are beneath contempt. What were Clinton and Reno supposed to do? Does anyone really believe those nice folks in Miami were ever going to hand that kid over in a civil manner? Those kind folks who never said a bad word about Elian’s dad and even said they’d turn Elian over instantly if only his Dad came here….right up until the day he called their bluff and showed up? Well they sure showed their true colors!!!! Suddenly he was a child abuser!!!! I guess he must have been using telekinesis to hit the kid since they never mentioned it until Juan Miguel landed in the U.S. These people have no shame. They care more  about using this kid as a bludgeon against Castro than a little thing like obeying the Law of the land they now live in or allowing a little thing like letting a Father visit his son. 

And on a side note : Doesn’t anybody else but me notice the contempt for fatherhood that so many in this case have demonstrated? If that was the kids mother in Cuba that kid would have been on a plane the next day. Nobody would have dared make the claim that a 6 year old boy would be better off living free with strangers in America than with his Mom in Cuba. Nobody would have said it was OK to keep a kid away from his mother . But since it’s the dad…Ah fuck him! Who cares what he thinks or wants! He’s only the father. But if Communism is so evil that a father’s rights don’t count then a mother’s shouldn’t count either. So lets see these cowards try saying that. Amazing!! And if the father decides to defect…OK that’s fine too... I hope he does... Even if I still don’t get the yoga-like contortions the Right Wing has to do to justify immigration only in cases like where Communism is involved. Because we all know if this kid was from the Sudan or Haiti or any other country; some far worse than Cuba, none of these suddenly child-loving cretins would care. But if he decides not to defect, for whatever reason…. let him go back to Cuba. Period. End of story.

Now I despise polls and despise even more politicians like Clinton who rule by them ….but does the Republican party ever even peek at them??? The American people don’t even understand what all the fuss is about…One poll showed 68% say the kid should go home with his father 68%!!!! You can’t get 68% of Americans to agree on a salad dressing! If there is one thing the American people don’t like (if you’ll allow me in my infinite wisdom to speak for all Americans for a moment) it’s denial of freedom. And believe it or not freedom in this country also includes the freedom to choose to live without freedom in a Communist country with your kid …..as bizarrely ironic, wacko and contradictory as that might sound.
