It's a celebration of the Cuban Revolution and Fidel's birthday," said Vicente Panama Alba, one of the organizers of the party to be held at the St. Ambrose Church, on 130 Street between Lenox and Fifth, deep in the heart of Harlem, the daily said.
The celebration will also be a reply to those in Miami who, shortly after news broke of the temporary transferring of powers in Cuba, went out to Calle 8 to celebrate.

"The Cuban worms [in Miami] and the US government hope for a transition when Fidel dies," said Alba, who added with a smile, they are way behind, because that process began in 1959."

According to Father Barrios, "the serious matter here is that the United States dares threaten the sovereignty of another country. It is amazing that the United Nations Security Councils permits this."

slavery
n 1: the state of being under the control of another person [syn: bondage, thrall, thralldom, thraldom] 2: the practice of owning slaves [syn: slaveholding] 3: work done under harsh conditions for little or no pay



Father Barrios said that in addition to paying homage to Cuba and Fidel, afternoon festivities will feature a wide variety of topics including current events in Lebanon, Venezuela and Puerto Rico, US immigration, the war against Iraq, and those who are looking forward to the impeachment of George W. Bush.

Make no bones about it: Cuba is an island of slaves. What else does one call a place where the people eat what one man feeds them; work at what one man decides that they work on; march when one man tells them to march; say what one man tells them to say and think only what one man tells them to think. What else do you call a place where the people are kept from progressing as individuals, where the people are kept away from information, where people are isolated from the rest of the world?

Cuba is just one big island plantation.

And now, in a country that sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its sons over a century ago in a war to eliminate slavery, we have people taking to the streets in celebration of the life of a slaveowner.

This only goes to prove just how far the left will go to advance its anti-American agenda: they will ignore human rights violations, they will ignore affronts on basic civil rights, they will ignore their own history and they will ignore right from wrong.

And they will take to the streets today and show us all their ignorance.

The same way this thread has to do with liberals, I'm sure:

I think Jimmy Carter, Harry Belafonte, and Danny Glover are liberals or am I mistaken. Have a read:

Fidel's social circle may have narrowed in part for the way he returns favors. Jimmy Carter is surely still smarting from the way Fidel allowed him to visit the island and praise its economic and political liberalization, only to follow up by outlawing the very reform movement Mr. Carter praised. Fidel subsequently rounded up dozens of dissidents, most of whom still remain in prison. That crackdown cost Castro some political capital abroad, including a brief protest from the European Union. But a year after Mr. Carter's visit, 160 self-described artists and intellectuals renewed their support for the island dictator in an open letter. The signatories included four Nobel Prize winners along with actors Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte.
