>Translation: you've been there zero times and only know what you've read from your Progressive news sources and Michael fucking Moore.
Not an American, not interested in Michael Moore -- there are actual historians and accounts not just pop culture, and I've visited several times (and a large number of other parts of the world too).
But the use of "progressive news" as some kind of bad source paints a picture.
I went both times as part of a humanitarian mission to bring medical supplies. Cuba sucks. Great people. Horrible government.
