He would have made a good El Presidente.
Here was an awfully offensive passage:
“I hope that Cuba and the United States can resolve the 40-year-old property disputes with some creativity. In many cases, we are debating ancient claims about decrepit sugar mills, an antique telephone company, and many other obsolete holdings. Most U.S. companies have already absorbed the losses, but some others want to be paid, and many Cubans who fled the revolution retain a sentimental attachment for [sic] their homes.”
Sure, easy for Carter to say: Have your property stolen, be forced to flee your country, and get over it, gusanos. The lack of sympathy and compassion in his statements is horrid. “Decrepit sugar mills,” “an antique telephone company,” “obsolete holdings” — such derogatory and belittling language. Not all of us get to sell our peanut farm to ADM, for a very handsome — and suspicious — price. And how about that “sentimental attachment for their homes”? Sentimental. That’s the problem with those romantic, emotional Latins: They just don’t know how to take rape. |
