Elian Gonzalez Joins Cuba's Young Communist Union
« on: June 15, 2008, 05:11:40 PM »
HAVANA —  The Cuban boy at the center of an international custody battle eight years ago has joined Cuba's Young Communist Union.

Communist youth newspaper Juventud Rebelde quotes Elian Gonzalez as saying he will never let down ex-President Fidel Castro and his brother Raul Castro, who succeeded Fidel earlier this year.

Now 14, Elian was 6 when Miami relatives lost their fight to keep him in the United States and he was returned to Cuba in mid-2000 with his father.

Elian had survived a boating accident off the Florida coast that killed his mother, who was attempting to get to the U.S.

Juventud Rebelde says in its Sunday edition that the boy was among 18,000 people who joined the group on Saturday.

Did he really have a choice?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Clinton/Reno's finest moment has come to fruition.

And it only took 7 years of brainwashing and "re-education"...

He's 100% propaganda.

From the day he was returned to Cuba it was inevitable. He'll probably end up a shining example of the great life afforded to the Cubans by their government...or some kind of b.s. to that extent.

Piss on Elian, then.

He got special treatment on his return.  His family got a beautiful new house, Dad got a great job, food, appliances and toys have been flowing from the Government.

But, for this case I agreed that he should have been sent back to his Dad.  It was quite the presumption that he should be kept away from his only remaining parent.

And I'm sure it was entirely his decision. :banghead:
