fidel castro took those buildings. we basically signed an agreement with them to normalize relations. we did not get any of those buildings back. we did not make them pay reparations for all the people they murdered. they looted the people of cuba and we made them do nothing. that is the type of foreign policy that leaves most americans scratching their heads. this is not the way americans do business. we stand up for people. we stand up for human rights. there is i know human rights and cuba. there are more political prisoners at the end of this process than the beginning of this process. we are rewarding terror, strong men, and once again, it will loom large over the 2015 ---- 2016 presidential race. the american people fundamentally disagree with the foreign-policy approach of this president. sean sullivan: looking at the 2016 bits, there is more than a dozen candidates. who is resonating right now with conservative activists? who is hitting home at the base? matt schlapp: first of all, i have not endorsed any parti

unfortunately, that republic came to an end in 1959 with the communist take over by fidel castro and the atrocities that have taken place since. that government remains in power to this day. and it still is the dream of the cuban people to have a cuban republic that will put into practice the allies that were formulated here at this san carlos institute. there's a lot of talk about norm normalization between the united states and cuba and we all dream that a normalization of relations would mean a bringing of freedom and human rights to the cuban people. i am concerned that all the talk is about an open cuba instead of a free cuba. a cuba that is open for american businessmen to go there and to make money instead of concern about the rights of the expandcuban people and the cuban people to enjoy the basic human rights that every human being is entitled to. all that i hear with this openness is we're going to be able to go and to do business and that will being a great if americans could go in there and do business with any cuban who they chose to do business with. that's not the case
