    Nixon visits the chi-coms. A Cold War strategic move that actually drove a wedge deeper between Sino-Soviet relations. Nixon's trip to Communist China was one battle of the Cold War that led to Reagan winning the Cold War.

    Do as you like, but it doesn't change the fact that Cuba hasn't posed a threat to us since the 1960's, and even then it was the Soviet union that instigated it.

    And you call me a fledgling idealist. In case you missed the news, Che Guevara died back in 1967, so he isn't running Cuba anymore. As much as you don't like it, people in the real world have to deal with people they don't like, and unless you think we should shut ourselves off completely from the rest of the world, diplomacy is how we keep bad people from doing things we don't like.

    Asinine thread.

    Obama being photographed in front of some foreign leader's image is no different than what other Presidents have done on dilemmatic
    trips.

    Should I judge you every time you hold a $20 dollar bill? I depicts the image of a man who today would be brought up
    on charges in the Haig for crimes against humanity. By holding that bill, are you condoning his actions in sanctioning The
    Trail of Tears?

    By the way - Ayn Rand was selfish, self-absorbed and long-winded. Placing her on a pedestal is foolish.

    Obama quote:

    "Hopefully, we can learn from Cuba about improving human rights in America."

    Are you saying that America has a perfect record when it comes to human rights? Before you start repeating right wing talking points, you should understand the context in which it was made.

    Getting a decent education or healthcare isn't a human right. It's just Marxist propaganda to achieve a totalitarian agenda.

    The Cuban revolution was just that, Cuba's revolution. Why should Americans be so concerned about it nearly 60 hears later? Do you lose sleep over it?

    Look,, it's not about Obama posing in front of a mural or whatever, it's about the right's blind hatred of anything not Republican.

    Obama could kiss the feet of the newly resurrected Jesus Christ and Republicans would find fault.

    Correction, we don't really like anything that's not American.

    BTW: Jesus Christ was the son of God and for some reason God made Jesus the only white, blue eye man in the Middle East back in the day, ever noticed that ? :smile:

    You don't think it's PC liberal revisionist history do you ? You never know.

    I've heard more than a few liberals claim that Jesus was a liberal.

    But if Jesus were alive today, he would probably be a Deputy Sheriff on Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County Sheriffs Department.

    There are a few theories why Jesus is depicted as a Californian surfer type. One theory I believe is quite smart and possibly accurate. Nothing to do with "PC liberal revisionist history" whatever that is.

    Jesus surfed ? Narley.

    Obama claims he was born and raised in Hawaii but Obama don't surf. Something smells like rotting pineapples.

    How many blacks do you know who can swim ?

    How many blacks have you seen playing for the NHL ?

    How many blacks do you see sking on the snow covered slopes ?

    What happens when ice or snow melts ? It turns into water.

    What's the big deal? Obama was just paying tribute to his boyhood hero.

    Well the swimming thing has to do with a small amount of body fat and the others has to do with the cost of learning how to Ski.

    African American's can on average outrun most others thus the NFL.

    But when it get's to Intelligence...the ratio's are all the same for all races.

    I always thought he was a carpenter. Maybe I'm thinking about a different Jesus.
