Ummm ... just who is this ad intended to attract? The Orlando Bosch crowd? The Luis Posada Carilles crowd?
Unreal.

(160,656 posts)People like Miguel Saavedra, of the reactionary Vigilia Mambisa, who seems available 24/7 for galloping to any location, with his bullhorn and signs to protest any perceived change in US hostilities toward Cuba.
When and if the embargo and travel ban are lifted, this man will be lost, no one to listen to him on his bullhorn, to help him throw CD's of leftist musicians, and Cuba supporters under his steam roller.

It appears the longer these "exiles" are away from Cuba, the wilder their yarns get about how wildly they have "fought" the revolution. Meantime, in Cuba, the people have been able to create universal education, total health care, secured homes for everyone, and no more people starving, living without indoor plumbing, electricity, kitchens, or having to live with internal parasites as they did before the revolution, when people even had to get permission from the local landowner in hope they could see a doctor if they got too sick.
Those hard times, shared by the majority of the population didn't affect the pure blood Spanish, of course, the descendants of the plantation owners, industrialists, politicians, etc., like Saavedra, and the Cuban politicians in the US. They loved it when they were all the very big fish in a very small bowl of so many suffering fish. Those were the days. They were not willing to allow change to bring healing and security to the masses, when they could have all the cheap labor they could use by keeping them exactly as they were.
"Fighting Castro in Cuba and here at home." Ha! That's a hot one. They fought EACH OTHER in Miami for years, creating what the FBI termed Miami as "America's Terror Capital." All the fire bombings of homes, stores, theaters, art dealers, travel agents, restaurants, bankers, in Miami, belonging to people they thought supported Cuba, or mere dialogue with Cuba, the car bombings, the C-4 bombings, which they learned about in the US military, etc., etc., etc. They didn't have time to actually fight anyone else other than the other "exiles" they suspected for one reason or another.
They just couldn't take it when a nation said "no" to them and their racist, murderous greed.

(17,751 posts)All the polls reveal that "fighting" the Castro's is not priority #1 with the S Fla Cuban-American demographic.
Local, domestic, foreign policy, economics - the priorities of most of us - are the interests of the majority of the Cuban-American diaspora now.
