On Self Loathing "Latinas"

Another month , another canine reference to Cubans in the Miami Herald. This time a little more subtle.

Anybody with a brain has long suspected these anti-Castro schemes are little more than slush funds to reward the loyal and pacify the rabid. Unfortunately, they've also helped subsidize intransigence by keeping it well-clothed and fed.


An editorial gem courtesy of the Castro haters hater, Ana Menendez, and the pages of that Racist Rag and bird-cage liner extraordinaire, The Miami Herald, with some words of wisdom about the measly $5 mil a year the government has been wasting to help Cuban dissidents on the island.

You know Ana. Everyone one knows someone like that. A self loathing “Latina”. Arrepentida. Ashamed of her own people.

Think about this: These folks that are jumping up and down with their dropped jaws and pointed fingers at the fact that some child in Cuba might have gotten a Nintendo game , wouldn’t bat an eyelash if the same government spent twice that to save a couple of beached dolphins in the keys. That’s the way they are.

To Ana and Oscar:

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
You should have stayed on the farm
You should have listened to your old man
--
You know they won’t hold you forever
They didn't sign up with you
You’re just a present for their friends to open
too young to be singing the blues
---
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
can't plant you in their penthouse
you'll go back to your palms
---
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh someday you'll decide the future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
---
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
---
Maybe they'll get a replacement
There's plenty like you to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

What have they done to foster freedom to Cuba? Exactly, nothing!
I wish they would take their self hating(about being Cuban!) "kramer" style of hostility somewhere else.
