Ted, If they were Haitian and had the criminal record that they have, I would have said the same thing. When is being politically correct more important than the truth? You will not get an argument from me on this subject. In fact, you may be missing the point of what it means to be politically correct. It means conforming to the leftist agenda. It has nothing to do with truth. If there happens to be a truthful fact that conforms to leftist agenda, fine, otherwise, the fact has to be hidden, or changed to a falsehood. The people who try to speak the truth that does not conform to leftist agenda are silenced through intimidation. In this particular case, the leftist agenda is to send the boy to Cuba. So any insult of anyone disagreeing with this position is fine. Telling someone to "go back where they come from" generally does not conform to the leftist agenda. You would generally be called racist, insensitive, bigot, accused of discrimination or whatever else that is in their arsenal of accusations that would have an effect of silencing you and forcing you to publicly apologize. This is because most of the people who came from somewhere recently came from some third world country. The assumption of the leftists is that these people come with a third world way of thinking (which conforms to the leftist agenda), so the more of them the merrier. (This assumption is incorrect in many cases. I know people from Africa, Asia, India who despise collectivism as much as any European) In this particular case, you are free, in fact encouraged to call any Cuban, especially Lazaro (sp?) a criminal. It is politically correct. Joe
