Show me one posting where I have complained about any comment directed towards me or asked for anyone to be censored or asked them to shut up?

You’re just angry that your hero Lie-onel Fernandez sold you out with the Castro brothers, even if its just for opportunistic reasons since North and South America has turned left!

Don’t be surprised if by the summer Lie-onel is wearing a Che Guevara T-Shirt!

PS

It was I who made the first request that the Gusano from Cananda not be banned!

He sure stuck it to Uncle Sam, the Cuban people, the Cuban diaspora, the rightful Cuban property owners,
the international and local business owners, many of his close confidants and heroes of the revolution like Camilo Cienfuegos, Che Guevara, General Ochoa and others.
And let's not forget Francis Caamaño who was sent to his sure death and the thousands that were shot by the whim of the "revolution"
who were not guilty of capital punishment crimes.

ZonaDominicana “He is just playing all sides favor in order to win influence.”

I agree,
And the native Americans never got what they really deserved.
Mexico will never got Texas, Cali, etc states that they lost.
Will Spain get back what they lost?
Will the French get Haiti back?
Will the decedents of slaves get their 40 archers and the mule?

"Alfabetización

Fernandez meets Castro

During his official visit to Cuba that began on Monday, President Leonel Fernandez met with former Cuban President Fidel Castro. Fernandez said they discussed the world financial crisis, problems in the DR and Latin America, Dominican history and politics and the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
As reported in the Miami Herald, the Dominican President said that they also talked about the possibility of developing exchange programs with the Cuban Art and Film Industry and Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Institutes. Fernandez said he told Castro about his government's interest in signing agreements with Cuba in the agricultural and educational sectors, and expressed a particular interest in the highly successful Cuban literacy program "Yo Si Puedo".

Fernandez commented that the 50-year US trade embargo with Cuba is a failed policy, which is likely to be reconsidered by US President Barack Obama.
During his visit, Fernandez is expected to attend the signing of several bilateral agreements in agriculture, culture, science and technology and education. One of these would allow Dominican teachers to be trained in pedagogical practices that have already been implemented in Cuba. Fernandez says his goal is to move the Dominican education system away from the rote learning system.
Fernandez commented that continued cooperation between the DR and Cuba could help the development of the DR educational system. Today Fernandez will address the summit on the topic of globalization and the problems with development.
This is Fernandez's third official visit to Cuba as head of state. He was the only visiting head of state to attend the 11th International Economists Meeting on Globalization and Development Problems, in session in Havana.

March 5 (Bloomberg) -- One year after Cuban President Raul Castro promised “more openness” in dealing with dissidents, journalist and poet Normando Hernandez Gonzalez has been taken from a hospital ward back to the prison where he has been held since 2003.

Hernandez Gonzalez, 39, was the youngest of 75 dissidents arrested during the “Black Spring” of 2003. The crackdown resulted in brief trials and prison sentences of 25 years for journalists and artists whose “crimes against the state” included his articles critical of Cuba’s health, education and judicial agencies.

Liberals will believe any press release from any country that uses the US as an excuse for their problems.

The Cuban Literacy program is a sham and a lie. Youths recently arriving from from Cuba test lower in language arts than those from other Latin American Countries.

"if you ask a cuban in cuba who won the cold war their answer will be the soviet union. they still dont know there is no more soviet union."

Actually most of the cubans that I've met who were raised in Cuba were typically well read and able to converse on a wide range of topics. Judging strictly from the ones I've encountered there is very little doubt in my mind that they are the product of an educational system that is superior to most latin nations or the American public school system for that matter.

The Friday Morning Cuban Gusano Terrorist History Report!

1992: Cuban American National Foundation mounts campaign against the Miami Herald, whose executives then receive death threats and whose newsracks are defaced and smeared with feces.

1992: Americas Watch releases report stating that hard-line Cuban-Americans have created an environment in which "moderation can be a dangerous position."

1993: Inflamed by Radio Mambí commentator Armando Perez-Roura, Cuban-Americans physically assault demonstrators lawfully protesting against U.S. embargo. Two police officers were injured, sixteen arrests were made. Miami City Commissioner Miriam Alonso then seeks to silence anti-embargo demonstrators: "We have to look at the legalities of whether the City of Miami can prevent them from expressing themselves."

The photo is phony? There is a shadow for Lionel and none for Fidel. Also, Fidel's beard seems cropped as though his head was superimposed over the the body of a stand-in and it is not even on the same scale as the Presidente. It is so obvious, gives doubt to the veracity of the photo and the questions the editor's acquiescence to print it.
