"A Cuban-American and Patriotism in America"

By José Reyes 9/5/2007

I am a Cuban-American which simply means that I was born in Cuba and I was raised here in America. Cuban-Americans are mostly concentrated in Florida but could be found throughout this great nation and in every single state. We love Cuba and we are very proud of our beloved and besieged country of birth but we admire the United States of America just as much and "That's a Fact Jack". We protect and defend this country to the end, after all, it was America that accepted, with open arms, "all" Cubans who fled Cuba when Fidel took over in 1959. This humanitarian act was unjustly discontinued in 1994, when ex-president Clinton decided to illegally change the status of Cubans fleeing Cuba from Refugee to Migrant, although Cuba's unelected leaders were still in power then and still are, right now. I love this country and will protect it with all I my might, but there is growing concern that has been constantly bothering me since 1992, yeah that's right again, when Bill Clinton came into power. This is when the emphasis of belonging to either two particular "groups", Conservative or Liberal, became necessary to observe and/or judge a person or a political party. Americans, which includes all Cuban-Americans, began to split up into 2 groups, Conservatives and Liberals. The new Clinton presidential atmosphere at the white house was about youthfulness and change, starting with the song played when the final results came in and Clinton and Gore came up on stage, it was that corny Fleetwood Mac song, "Don't Stop". On the other hand, representing the Republican party, you had a stubborn George Bush who was close to the edge of becoming a tyrant, so this made it much easier to vote Clinton's way. Clinton found the right tactic and was able to win, but it wasn't because he was loved by the American people, that's for sure. Clinton then proceeded to split the country in two, where one was forced to, by public opinion to think as a liberal or as a conservative. This was the main goal and the main objective of the Clinton camp right from the very beginning and was probably planned for many years before he even became a candidate. Clinton was the one who initiated this separation and has created a big problem and an enormous concern in the Patriotism department in America. The Conservative image makers are as much to blame, for they fell into the tender trap constructed by the Clinton Party. Although it was a big mistake by the Republican party, I think it was done in a defensive and protective manner, but contributed in the separation of the people. The exact thing happened with the US media, for this was their big chance to obtain more control of their misinformation network of reporting. Now, what is the result of Liberal and conservative thinking and what about those who do not want to be identified with either group? Before I continue, to clear things up for those who are not sure of Conservative thinking and Liberal thinking, I have the dictionary definitions and description of both here "in general" (Online TheFreeDictionary.com):

So now that you have read the definitions provided here, where do you stand? Are you a Conservative or a Liberal? Tough isn't it? I say 90% percent of you agree partially or completely with both, but I feel because of the political situation that has been placed upon us by Mr. Bill Clinton, we are forced to choose from one or the other. I personally have chosen the Conservative ideals and for several reasons which I will explain later, but I am in favor of all the liberal ideals also because both of these ways of thinking add up to one thing, that is a DEMOCRACY. These ideals were split by Mr. Bill Clinton and the leftist media in this country. Mr. Clinton and the media's constant admiration with communist ideals enforced by the iconic communist leaders they marvel has placed all American with a crazy predicament. Well, conservative or liberal, I agree with both as you know, so how would I choose and vote for a leader in an election here in America, a leader that will preserve and defend "Democracy", a man or Woman that will be voted by the people and will be for the people. Take a look at all the candidates who are running for president, Republican and/or Democrat and choose which one will preserve and defend democracy in America to its fullest. I personally have decided, hands down, I will take "any" Republican in a heartbeat and I will "show" you why. I will show you the two sides and then you choose. I say 90% of you will choose the Conservative side after close analysis. Here is a link I created on my website that support Republicans: Conservative Websites Listing

Democratic Candidates:

Republican Candidates:

Here are some Liberal (Commie) Websites which support Democrats:

Now where do you stand? As an American citizen I hate anybody who is a liberal in the times we live in. They do not fall under the real definition listed above of what liberals is suppose to think like. For a matter of fact, they are anti-American and fall under the category of Communism in my book. These so-called Liberal websites are the strongest supporters of the Democrat party and are connected with several communist websites here in America and Communist ruled governments around the world. As you can see, the so-called liberal websites are more concern with degrading this country, they do not have any solutions in their criticism, all they do in a very negative way, is discriminate their fellow so-called brothers and sisters. They concentrate on problems in America that are very evident to everybody and connect it to the Republican party, like they are solely responsible for "all" the problems here. Meanwhile they have no concrete support or examples to support their arguments. If you read the Conservative websites you get more of a feel of the truth, although they might sometimes exaggerate a little to get their point across, they still at least supply the reader with plenty of evidence and examples to support their argument. As I work myself back to Mr. Clinton, who started this separation of Democracy, the true liberal is still in the Conservative thinker, the liberal the Bill Clinton administration created is a politically correct, anti-American communist. So for all you true liberals out there, try to disassociate yourselves from these phonies. Coming soon on November 2008, the wife of Mr. Bill Clinton, Hillary, will be competing for president of these United States of America, all indications show her in front and unless something drastic happens, she will be nominated for Presidency. Vote as a true American, as a true Liberal, forget about the term Conservative, although you agree with the thinking process of one and vote for Democracy! Speaking as a true American and as true Patriot, vote Republican, your kids will have a better future. Speaking as a true patriot of America and a true Cuban Patriot with plenty of experience in communist tactics, vote Republican or don't vote at all, you will regret it in the future.
