Obama Riles “Chicken-Hawks” with Handshake

by James J. Tenant

Republicans flew into a rage when President Obama shook the hand of Cuba’s President Raul Castro during President Nelson Mandela’s funeral. Castro is communist. Our own (R-TX) U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, fought alongside Fidel Castro (Raul’s brother) during the Cuban Revolution. Has Obama ever shaken the hand of Sen. Cruz’s dad? I would never shake the hand of any Cruz-clan member.

There are some national security problems associated with Sen. Cruz though. Like all congressional reps, Sen. Cruz holds a “secret” level military security clearance. It’s folly to think Cruz disclosed on his own security clearance application that his own father has communist ties, and allegiance too.

This major security compromise rises to a much higher level; Cruz’s father has routinely publicly called into question the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate. Should USAG Eric Holder arrest Sen. Cruz?

Chicken-hawks (1%ers) want to bomb Cuba. However, neither they nor their kids would ever fight and die for America in combat. The fighting and dying in America’s pre-emptive race and religious wars has been outsourced onto the backs of America’s poor and working class families. All-volunteer military manning scam! This plantation scheme was created by wealthy whites who continue to saddle African Americans with a perennial 15%+ unemployment rate.

Fifty years ago, blacks had five representatives in the U.S. Congress, a 15% unemployment rate, and faced voter-suppression tactics, too. Lo and behold, today, we have 43 empty suits-dresses in Congress (Congressional Black Caucus—CBC), and literally nothing has changed in our society. I have to give the CBC membership some credit though (spayed-neutered), they are always the best dressed congressional reps, coupled with some of those very fashionable hair-dos worn by their female membership.

From 1955 to 1975, 58,000 American patriots were killed on Vietnam’s soil, 55% of them African Americans—though we only comprised 10% of America’s entire population during that war. Can you say culling?
