Celebrating Apartheid and Repression in DC

In The Atlantic, blogger Steve Clemons gives his seal of approval to the Cuban dictatorship's celebration of apartheid and repression.

He writes:

A new bar is opening in DC, called "Hemingway's Bar", in the invite only Cuban Interests Section. This is vastly better public diplomacy than the US-Cuba tit-for-tat shenanigans of the past.

Small scoop, but on October 6th, the Cuban Interests Section (aka, the Cuban Embassy if we ever get back to normalizing relations) will launch a clever bit of public diplomacy by opening "Hemingway's Bar."

Of course, one has to be invited as the bar is on Cuba's side of the line inside its sort-of-embassy, and my hunch is that some will make the list and others won't. Sorry Ileana (and Mario).

And as commerce can't change hands between Americans and Cubans -- the drinks will be free. I plan to go and will want a "Hemingway Daiquiri" -- double the rum, and no sugar.

Basically, the Castro regime is exhibiting at its Washington, D.C. diplomatic entity what it practices on a national scale in Cuba -- limiting access to carefully-vetted foreigners and other useful pre-approved invitees.

It's obvious why the Castro regime is doing this -- for control and propaganda.

But why would anyone (with the slightest conscience) want to share a daiquiri with the longest and most murderous dictatorship this hemisphere has ever seen?

Meanwhile, over the weekend, the Castro regime (with its German Shepherds and all) brutally assaulted and arrested over 20 Ladies in White and their supporters.

Cheers! (sarcasm)
