I am amazed that there are still posters who are seriously trying to refute CCSF's inanities.
I still don't understand why him and a couple of others haven't been banned for bigotry and trolling (if either of those are bannable).
Regarding the topic matter though, I say that if a policy isn't working (like the old Cuba policy), change it.
Sorry. There are people in this world and on this forum who aren't as "progressive" as yourself. They have every right to have their say and be heard. Just because you disagree with them doesn't make them trolls or bigots any more than your ultra-"progressive" views makes you a troll. I am quite sick of so-called "progressives" as yourself calling to ban or ignore the few conservatives on this forum who express their conservative beliefs. There is nothing progressive about censorship.Serious question: would you be opposed to the banning of a poster who came out in support of slavery? Of revoking a woman's right to vote? Some views are just inherently abhorrent, and eventually society catches up and breaks down the religious or governmental structures that are imposing them writ large. I'm sorry that you haven't caught up because you were indoctrinated as a youth. I hope you can break out of it, I really do; when I broke the dogmatic shackles it was one of the most liberating days of my life.
This statement is so flippantly incorrect, it is astounding. Cuba revoked any support of terrorism as a foreign policy tool in
1992. Nor does Obama shirk our allies. Stop drinking the partisan kool-aid and actually take a look at what Obama has accomplished and does.
