Travel to Cuba?

In 1957, a journalist from the NY Times who was imbedded with Castro’s rebels kept writing about how great Castro was and how great he was going to be for Cuba. Well, 52 years later what you see in Cuba is people trying to leave anyway possible, deteriorating structures, poor economy and other miscues too numerous to mention. We know that reporter got it wrong.

Now this week we have 3 Democratic members of Congress and the black caucus go to Cuba and then come back and talk about how great Castro was and how we should open travel to Cuba. All I can say, after over 50 years of Castro in power that has practically destroyed this country, violated human rights and murdered countless Cuban citizens, these Democrats appear to have the same intelligence that the Times reporter had. But then again, why are we not surprised.
