One of the bitter political ironies you might enjoy, PW, is that many of the older "red-neck"-minded conservatives used to agree with you right down the line. They thought that the US government had no business whatsoever telling its citizens where they could and could not go.
Like so many other practices and beliefs, the old "traditional conservative" belief in freedom to travel is another belief that today's Republican Party and today's so-called "Conservatives" have sold out on in order to hang onto power. Otherwise the former Dixiecrats might have told the Cuban exile political establishment where to stick the Cuban travel restrictions as long ago as when Ronald Wilson What's-his-name was in the White House.
