Boycott Spain?

A reader wrote asking us to join a boycott on Spain.
Which we won’t do.
Why?
Do you think that “Spain” is what Moratinos or Zapatero or the big business represent, or that Spain is what the Spanish people put together as a whole with their culture, traditions, and work?
Great logic, brainiacs.
So we have to boycott Spain due to the politicians –a bunch of communist pricks, no doubt- but because of them we need to harm the business of a lot of farmers, cheese and wine producers, and many others, who have absofuckinglutely nothing to do with the red policies of the government and much less with the Spanish big business.
Let me tell you one thing, those reds will be out of business in the next elections in Spain, most likely without your help.
True, a lot of Spaniards are sex predators who are going to Cuba for a cheap thrill.
Will you paint all Spaniards with the same wide brush?
Yes?
Well, what about Americans breaking the laws of this country going to Cuba for the same sexual cheap thrills? There is a bunch of them down there as we speak, just for you to know. And there was Gary Glitter, so get another brush for the Brits.
Also, I hate to break the news to you; the United States is a larger trading partner for Cuba today than Spain.
And we have criminal regulation of the dry-foot wet-foot, so you are escaping Cuba and the American Coast Guard returns you to Cuba’s own “firebrand” tormentor.
And we have more senators and politicians, and farmers and academics going to Cuba than any other country in the world.
Are you going to boycott the U.S.A? Let me know where the hell are you going to go.
If you’re willing to consider the whole population of a country the target of your tantrums do not think for a second that people are going to think of you any differently or that you’re going to receive any consideration, after all, you come from a fucking terrorist country! Or you’re really planning to tell me that Kasstro’s Kuba is not a terrorist country.
Let me give you a hint here on the rules of capitalistic market, something is for sale, yes?
Well, in order to sell you need a product or a service, money to be exchanged, and you also need a seller and a buyer to complete the operation.
Kasstro sells Cuba –as Kuba. There are business opportunities down there and Americans and Spaniards, Canadians and Chinese, Portuguese and German, Italian and Israelis, all of them are buying. I blame them for trading with stolen property with a tyrant, but I can’t paint all of their countries with the same wide brush in foul smelling brown paint.
The one I blame and boycott is Kasstro. He is the responsible for the apartheid in Cuba.
Are you boycotting Porsche, Volkswagen, Siemens, Krupp, Mercedes Benz, Ford, and German engineering? They all supported Hitler!
What message do you exactly send when you say boycott Spain or whatever other country? I will tell you, you’re saying that you are grossly mistaken confusing the identity of the politicians with that of the people, and that you don’t give a shit if the small business owner and the people of that country suffer just because you dislike the politicians and the big business based on their territory and their actions with regards to Cuba. Which is your right to dislike, we also dislike them, don’t get me wrong.
That’s not the cleverest recipe when trying to gather the solidarity and support the Cuban people needs today more than ever.
Now, let’s say that you successfully boycott Spain. You will find that you need to be consistent and boycott the whole damn world, because every country has business in Cuba, and yeah, almost every country has some john in search of a jinetera right now in Cuba.
Do you realize that you’re advocating for the isolation of the Cuban people, and that’s exactly what kasstro wants?
I mean, you’re playing by HIS book.
No Journalistes sans Frontiers visiting Cuba, some of them are Spaniards and they are the ones with the command of the language to communicate with the Cuban you find on the street. No more music impresarios –who are saving a bunch of Cuban musicians from starving to death and from ostracism, and who are helping them to leave the island unlike the Estefans, for example. No more people helping Cubans to survive, and not more people smuggling things in and out for the dissidents. Great!
Jineteras? They will be always there. That’s call'd Earth’s oldest profession for something.
No Spaniards? Who cares? You have all the crews of the different nations merchant marines roaming to all of Old Havana looking for cinnamon colored beauties. How many of them are American? Or do you think that the vessels that participate on the American trade with Cuba are manned by Klingons?
When you are at it, please also propose to boycott the whole damn European Union, Japan, South Korea, The Phillipines, Israel, South Africa, the NATO, the whole ex-USSR, England, and do not forget Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Of course you can also boycott Venezuela, I don’t like Chavez, what the hell. Don’t by anything from the weak private industry in Venezuela so Chavez can gain momentum and take over them. Don’t get me wrong, do boycott the petroleum from Venezuela, because that’s in the hands of Chavez already.
But the others?
One day you will have to build Planet Kuba if you keep at boycotting everybody.
Are you boycotting Saudi Arabia and Iran? Don’t think so, because you’re car is still running, unless it runs on ethanol from the Midwest. Iran? Yes, this country buys things from Iran. Surprise?
By the way, boycott the American Army. They bought Cuban cigars for Satan Hussein, they were apparently “mission specific”, to keep the deposed dictator homey and comfy until his date with the executioner.
I hope you don’t eat any chorizos or Manchego cheese, and that your bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate kasstro’s death is not “producto de España”. I also hope that in your childish tantrum you don’t go and spit on the graves of your Spanish ancestors, wait, you can’t do that, they are most likely buried in Cuba!
