How Cuba’s Bitter Sons Shut Down the U.S. Government
In Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, the Tea Party found the perfect pawns. BY Achy Obejas It’s the open wound of Fidel Castro’s revolution being poked at by Jim DeMint, that makes Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz do what they do. Left out of all the thousands of words written about the GOP's government shutdown, about the party's nihilistic willingness to crash the world economy, about Republicans' laser focus on obliterating the Affordable Care Act (ACA), was the fact that two of the poster boys for this suicide mission were the sons of Cuban exiles whose fears about socialism were willingly and willfully exploited by the radial Right. Make no mistake: It's the open wound of Fidel Castro's revolution being poked at by Jim DeMint, the former South Carolina senator and mastermind behind the shutdown, that makes Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz do what they do. http://tinyurl.com/oh9px6j Interesting concept, and one that never occurred to me and most others, I suspect. -- Religion: together we can find the cure. |
