Noted violators of human rights: Arizona law is brutal, racist, really uncool, and Marx would, like, totally hate it!

Well if any group of people would know about gross violations of human rights, I guess it would be Cuban government officials.

Cuban lawmakers have passed a resolution denouncing Arizona’s new immigration law as “racist and xenophobic,” recalling an old dispute in the process: the argument that the United States’ purchase of Arizona from Mexico in the 19th century was tantamount to theft.

First Mexican president Flippy Calderon bashes our immigration laws, which are nowhere near those in his nation on the brutality scale, and now, Cuba is bashing Arizona? Sorry but isn’t this sort of like OJ Simpson lecturing faithful husbands about how they treat their wives?

Let us take a peek at how Cuba treats its people and see what actual huiman rights violations look like.

The tightly controlled, communist-run island has long been criticized for its human rights record, which includes the jailing of 200 political prisoners, the banning of a free press and the outlawing of opposition political parties.

Cuban citizens are required to carry identification with them wherever they go, and can be stopped by police and sent home if they are found in a part of the island where they don’t belong.

Folks, I try very hard not to curse on this blog, but there ae some things that just punch my buttons, and make it sooooo hard to stifle the urge to say “Fuck you you bottom-feeding Communst bastards” to the Cuban government. Oh, and fuck you too Flippy Calderon, or maybe I should say Chinga usted Flippy!
