Why are people in Miami waving Cuban flags?

[eleny]

Sheesh. :sarcasm:

[MADem]

1. Waiting for RAUL, perhaps?

Wait till they find out Raul is Fidel, without the charisma and the world view.

[Robbien]

16. Bush/Rice feel they now can take over Cuba. Ha! They haven't met Raul

In one rare interview in early 2001, Raul spoke with unusual frankness about his older brother's eventual death and encouraged the United States to make peace with Cuba while Fidel was still alive.

"I am among those who believe that it would be in imperialism's interest to try, with our irreconcilable differences, to normalize relations as much as possible during Fidel's life," Raul said in the interview with state television. Later, he said, "it will be more difficult," implying he would be harder to deal with.

Cuba belongs to Cubans. It is not something the US can do with what it will.

2. i don`t know... i guess they must be cubans

i`d wave my swedish flag but that would be stupid

[ribrepin]

3. Yeah, I noticed that too

Maybe they'll go back to Cuba--not too likely. They're all Chimp-lovers anyway. If anyone but the Cubans were waving flags from another country, they'd be fried in oil. Remember the mexicans.

5. Thanks, that was my point

But I forgot that there are different rules made up daily. Hard to keep up!

[ribrepin]

7. Yup, special rules for different ethnic groups.

Also, special rules for anyone who is not a neocon. Long live the American empire. :sarcasm:

24. I doubt the Cubans would want the Miami Cubans back.

Or that the Miami Cubans would be willing to go back and help modernize Cuba enough so that they would want to be in Cuba.

4. They think they will be able to reclaim all those cool classic cars

they left behind.

[eleny]

6. I was just thinking about that tonight....

That the Cubans will be able to get parts. After all these years.

22. I have three things to say to this:

1.) Lots of Irish Illegals here -- never sent back.

2.) I LOVE being a traitor! Damn, it feels good!

3.) Consider your nasty, unamerican rant alerted on -- I hope some other DUers reading this will also press the alert button.


Ta! Have a nice day rereading "Mein Kampf."

13. They always have.

Many cars have the Cuban flag on them.

15. I was talking with my Miami sister

about TS Chris and she told me her son was out early this morning and phoned them at 2.00am because Cuban-Americans were on the street celebrating Castro's death. Of course they started their own rumour.

The statement read on Cuban TV yesterday was a letter written by Fidel after the operation -Richard Gott(BBC International).

I love Fidel -get well my brother and friend.
Add.

17. The loyal Cubans obviously have more flags

than the self exiled Miami ones : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/5234162.stm

18. Indeed

[IndianaGreen]

19. I thought those were Puerto Rican flags

:P



Five equal horizontal bands of red (top and bottom) alternating with white; a blue isosceles triangle based on the hoist side bears a large white five-pointed star in the center; the design of the Puerto Rican flag was not based on the United States flag, but rather on the Cuban flag. It was designed in the 1890's by the Puerto Rican Section of the Cuban Revolutionary Party in solidarity with their cause. The colors were inverted to preserve national identity.
