My review of Maria del Boza's Scattering the Ashes:

Reading about the betrayal by the Kennedy administration of the invasion by Brigade 2506 was one of the first topics that shaped my view of things. It may have been in "None Dare Call It Treason" which I read in  1964. In any event, it made a great impression on me as a twelve-year-old  boy. In the same time period, I was reading "Reminiscences" the  autobiography of Gen. Douglas MacArthur and "Conscience of a  Conservative" by Sen. Barry Morris Goldwater.  Reading details of  Giron in Maria's book, details which were unavailable in 1964, brought back  all of the personal anguish which I felt at the time and somehow it was a  reassurance that the frustration and anguish which I have held close to my  heart all of these years was a validation; a validation of my own  life.

The failure to defeat Castro by actually supporting actions like  Brigade 2506 has been the most disastrous blunder in American history.   Certainly, I think that it ranks as first place as the damage that Castro  has inflicted upon the world as a Soviet client state has had the most  direct impact upon my country.  The betrayal of Chiang Kai-Shek and the  Alger Hiss conspiracy with Joseph Stalin at Yalta would rank second and  third.  Every time I view something by the CBS news department, it reminds  me that I'm in "internal exile" in my own country.

I have a  great respect for Maria del Carmen Boza for writing about her family in  such a close personal way as it exposes her private life to the public.  To  bring all of their vastitudes and personal strengths and weaknesses to  public view gives me a greater appreciation of myself and the value of life  itself. For this gift I can only say "thank you."

I’m sure someone will be publishing a book soon about Obama’s far left leanings. The anti-American oratory coming from some of Obama’s minister friends is just the tip of the iceberg.

Anyone who thinks that our economy is in bad shape now and is pessimistic about future job creation and human needs should think twice before joining the Democratic Party. We are no longer in a period like 1948- 1970 when America had an advantage over the developing world. We now must compete with the BRIC countries and the social activists on the left are leading us down the wrong road, one that leads to national bankruptcy and a loss of both economic freedom and ultimately civil liberties. Obama could be the Fidel Castro of America.
