Cuba Is Now An American Tragedy Time Magazine is celebrating the Obama deal with Cuba on this month’s cover and with an article inside titled, “Welcome to Paradise.” They call Cuba the New Cuba. They want us to rediscover the “charm”. This is the Cuba the propagandists want you to believe exists but it doesn’t. We aren’t going to bat for them and now we are being sold a lie. It’s one of the biggest lies they’ve ever told. American people aren’t getting the truth on this or much else. Barack Obama’s “deal” with Cuba is a tragedy for the people of Cuba and for the American soul. We gave away any leverage we had to better the lives of the Cuban people by employing Obama’s magical thinking to a cruel and heartless dictatorship. We sold out everything we have stood for in the sphere of human rights in exchange for false hope.
