28. Nope not all I care about.
I care about my government torturing people too. I care about wars of aggression my government starts. I care about the institutionalized repression that my government is attempting in regards to the homosexual community. I care about my tax dollars being spent on the promotion of specific religions. I care about my tax dollars being spent on weapons programs and propagandizing the public through fake media instead of feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, educating the ignorant, healing the sick, and achieving true equality amongst people.

I am not claiming that Cuba is without faults. That it is a model to be emulated. I am a strong critic of Cuba's policy on a number of areas including the lack of democracy and the high censorship levels.

But your notion that the US has such a position for moral authority as to you to attack the very comparison of it to Cuba makes you sound like an uneducated freeper. On this issue you've drank the Kool-Aid that is McCarthy-Reaganism.
