Continuous Violations of Human Rights in Cuba | Babalú Blog: an ...

The repression in Cuba continues unabated.  Here is a sampling from a Cuba Fact Sheet published by the Cuban Transition Project: The recent talks between General Raul Castro and Cardinal Jaime Ortega were seen by many as a gleam of hope for the political prisoners and dissident movement on the island. This signified the first time in five decades of the Cuban revolution that the communist government was negotiating with a national and independent organization like the Cuban Catholic Church. During the talks, General Castro promised to transfer some political prisoners in poor health to [more...]

The P.J. O'Rourke Interview | Right Wing News

In the Civil Rights movement, we were taking a good hard look at rule of law and equal application of the rule of law to all people. I think this can also be said about some of the more sensible feminist arguments, too. Not the Bella Abzugs, but women were arguing that they had a right to equality before the law. And here we were leaving out a very large minority of Americans who were being totally, totally left out of rule of law.
