The New Enlightenment

The New Enlightenment

Although it is not yet recognized, I believe we are on the cusp of a New Enlightenment. The most exciting aspect of this era is it is being spearheaded by the Cuban exile population. This understanding of how things are and how they should be have been brought about by the pain of 48 years of absolute power yielded by the Castro regime. It has forced Cubans everywhere to stop and ask what is right and what is wrong. The New Enlightenment is all about the nature of governments and what they should and should not be allowed to do. The Cuban exile has now had 48 years to contemplate with reasoned thought about what has happened to Cuba and why.

The Cuban exile knows exactly what has happened to Cuba and what will happen to the rest of the world one day if we continue to permit unchecked statism to grow like a weed in a field of ignorance. While I talk to a great many people about social and economic policy, the vast majority quickly glaze over in lieu of their deeply felt concern over whether Paris Hilton will wear underwear tonight or not. This isn't the case with Cuban exiles. They know exactly what is important and what is not worth wasting time with. The Cubans on the island may not yet know what is right but they certainly know what is wrong - Fidel Castro and communism. The enlightened Cuban understands communism is just another form of monarchy that replaces a man called king with a man call comandante. But both demand complete control over life and death of their subjects. Fortunately these great modern thinkers known as "Cuban exiles" understand totally what is needed to fix Cuba and they have a passionate desire to do just that. They have stood alone for decades telling the truth in the face of the Castro lies. Only now is the rest of the planet becoming aware of this fact.


The New Enlightenment will be recognized historically one day. Let me just say it is an honor to be a part of it and I thank you all for the privilege of being in your elite company. I think you are the greatest people on the earth!
