Remember folks, this Cuban immigrant (Mr. Alvarez Jr.) reminds us to use our heads so that history doesn't repeat itself. I was in my mid teens when this happened and vividly recall watching many TV news spots showing exactly what this man and what this letter is talking about....

Letter to the Editor from a Cuban. . .

A most interesting and foreboding letter.

From Richmond Times-Dispatch, Monday, July 7, 2008 ~

Dear Editor, Times-Dispatch:

'Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day, and on July 4 I celebrate America's. This year is special, because it marks the 40Th anniversary of my independence. On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba, and a few months later, I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress. 'I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year.

The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.

'When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said, 'Praise the Lord.' And when the young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll bring you change,' everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!'

'But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education, it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans.

And now I'm back to the beginning of my story.

'Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?
'Would we?'

Manuel Alvarez, Jr.


Now Sir, just so that some idiot out there won't write in and comment to me that an armed dictatorship such as Fidel's can't happen in this country, I want to make it perfectly clear that we are NOT talking about that part of this man's letter. I have met and talked with certain folks who literally think that Obama is akin to the next Messiah and are NOT examining and questioning his vague promises of change, without asking the aforementioned questions. PLEASE....think before you vote this coming November. Examine everything you can about BOTH candidates and at least make an informed decision....
