Yes, we do live in a Republic, where a mob like the Cubans encamped outside the home
where Elian Gonzalez is staying have no right
to ram their ideology down the throats of others...
How can we 'prove' that the majority and the laws are against them? Proving the laws
is simple.
I'd hazard a guess that if you and I decided to loiter on any street in Miami, we'd
soon have cops telling us to move along. If we
didn't, we'd find ourselves arrested.
For some reason this simple anti-loitering statute is NOT being applied in this case.
Any state in the union would recognize a biological father's right to have custody of
his own son, over the claims of a maternal
grand-uncle, unless it could be proven that for some reason the father was an unfit
parent. Far from proving that, the Miami
relatives have actually bolstered the claim that the father was fit, by publicly
questioning for months why the father didn't come
see his son in Miami -- if they considered him unfit, why suggest he should come?
As for what the majority of the U.S. citizenry thinks about this case, almost everyone
outside of the Cuban community says the kid
should be returned to his father, irregardless if the father asks for political
sanctuary here, are returns with Elian to Cuba.

They have the same rights as all citizens, no less, but certainly no more. One has to
wonder why the Cuban mob parked in permanent
encampment outside the home where Elian is staying are being given special treatment.
One wonders why this Cuban child should get
any more special treatment from the INS and the Justice Department than a child
escaping from Haiti.

Speaking only for myself, it is quite common to use a nickname on the Internet, in
fact it is more common than not. In my case I
use the nickname, and only sign with my first name, to avoid stalking.
As for my politics, my postings to this list over the years should easily answer that
question.
It is not a matter of whether one is Communist or not, or whether one supports Castro
or not. It is a matter of upholding U.S.
law -- the kid was part of an operation to enter the U.S. illegally, after all. And
he DOES have a living parent, who is fit to
care for him. If the father lived in Georgia, there would be no discussion. The only
reason you and your ilk give for denying this
father his right to take custody of his own son is because you don't like the country
he comes from.
If this was a case involving a mother escaping Iraq with her child, and the father
back in Iraq wanting to take custody of his child
after the mother's death, I would still support the father's right to raise his own
child, even though I have Saddam Hussein and his
politics.
