The solution is quite simple; terminate our diplomatic relations with China. Restore the China embargo from the 70’s. Then the GOP opposition to lifting the Cuban embargo will make sense.
The #Republicans are all upset over President Obama’s plan to lift the trade embargo against Cuba which dates back to 1962. Apparently, they want to avoid the debacle that occurred the last time an American president normalized relations with a communist country. You may recall that President Richard #Nixon visited Communist #China back in 1972 and ended up normalizing relations with China. (AUTHOR’S NOTE: You young folks can Google it.) The #GOP really rose up on that occasion to try and stop the president. No wait! That’s not right. Nixon was a Republican. I guess I had that wrong. Anyway, that was an entirely different set of circumstances because China had a great record for human rights at the time. No wait! Did I get that wrong too? Nixon was vilified for making “another concession to tyranny.” No wait. I’m wrong again. It’s Obama who was vilified. Now I think I got this straight – The GOP said that this act by Nixon is “part of a long record of coddling dictators and tyrants.” Damn! Wrong again. It was #Rubio who said that about Obama. It is hard to keep these things straight because the GOP politicians flip flop around like fish trying to swim to Cuba. Now I’m confused. Can someone please explain what the GOP is upset about?
