Remember who Obama’s State Department just spent the last week cozying up to at the Organization of American States conference?
Yes, Cuba. Well, guess who had some State Department nabobs on the payroll for the past three decades?
A former State Department official with top-secret security clearance and his wife have been charged with spying for Cuba over the past three decades, passing information by shortwave radio and correspondence exchanged in local grocery stores, federal prosecutors said.
The couple, Walter Kendall Myers, 72, and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, 71, were charged with conspiring to act as illegal agents and to communicate classified information to the Cuban government. They were ordered held in jail pending further court proceedings.
State Department officials said last night they were still assessing the potential damage to the government’s security and intelligence operations and declined to comment further.
Within hours of the couple’s appearance yesterday at U.S. District Court in the District, a novel-worthy tale began to emerge from court documents and law enforcement sources, depicting an elderly couple of famed lineage, living in a Northwest Washington neighborhood and traveling abroad under code names, motivated by ideology to pass information to Cuban agents.
I hope we throw the book at them big time (oops, Charles will probably accuse me of inciting violence). Not only did this couple compromise who knows how many of our secrets to the Communist Cuban government, but who knows what damage has been done to the opponents of the Castro regime inside Cuba? How many democracy activists and Cuban supporters of freedom found their way into the inside of one of Castro’s gulags, all because of this couple of “ideologically motivated” gringos? Shows once again why the State Department (even under Republican Presidents) has a reputation for being infested with anti-American communists.
If the lefties want to take a break from their hoot-monkeyish condemnations of pro-lifers so as to start blaming people who are actually responsible for the deaths of others, Walter and Gwendolyn Myers would be a good place to start.

First, ya hoo
I really do hate the left, they do not care how many they kill to get what they want.
Well treason carrys the death penalty. Lets see what the libtards come up with. As they are “so old” carousel should be in order. Lights are blinking.
They won’t get treason. There will be a statement about Cuba being an ally and not wanting to harm relations.
Then there will be a statement about how Israel has spies here and that we need to be more accepting of others, then the case will be silent and we’ll trade them as a sense of goodwill to Cuba.
I’m having a hard time imagining what they (the Cubans) got out of it.
Let them swim to Cuba.

re: #4 by ChenZhen

I have not been to a get together with my family for over a year, next month we will be getting together and let me tell you there will be fireworks. There is nothing like a Massachusetts moonbat gathering like my family and like always I will know I have won when they all start calling me names.
re: #8 by BBEV
LOL, yeah just let it bounce off. Just off handedly, start talking about all the new taxes on things, in a positive manner, that’ll throw’em. They think were living in Shangrila now.
Just checking on what I’ve missed on the web today and saw this at Gateway Pundit. cj’s head will explode over this one.

Hell I’m happy that Massachusetts is going to raise it’s sales tax from 5% to 6.5% hell I say raise it to 10% I live in New Hampshire and we will be happy to make all your sales for you flat landers.
re: #12 by BBEV
Hah, serves’em right. Yeah ours in Cali is almost 9% now, you lucky b*stards. Not just the sales tax though, but all the others too that O will impose directly and indirectly on them.
re: #13 by Sparky
Hell, go down to South Gate or Pico Rivera, tax rate there is 10.5%
You know what, I just remembered, RFK was assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel on Wilshire this day in 1968.
I still remember Mom freaking out when she heard the news. She was ironing Dad’s Navy khakis in the kitchen….
re: #14 by savage
Got your passport out of here yet? Calipornias only gonna get much worse, what do you think the legislature has up their sleeves?
re: #16 by Sparky
I’ll get a load out of LA and drive as hard as I can east of here. I’ll probably end up in Nebraska or Montana, possibly one of the Dakotas.
re: #17 by savage
I’ve been thinking of some land up in the old stomping grounds in NE Washington, very remote with mountains. Probably cheap right now, build on it later. I’m holding on here for now, but if they whack us any more it’s either up there or to Belize. It’s all an adventure!
re: #18 by Sparky
Well, it gets pretty cold up there near the Canadian border. Pretty country though.
Rodan, are you near those floods? Sounds menacing.
re: #17 by savage
Hey Savage, come on over here to New Hampshire, we had a 1% growth last quarter and the lowest unemployment in the North East and with all the states around us growing there sales taxes I see good times here.
Hi Everyone,
I you would like, please test drive a new political test I created at http://www.gotoquiz.com/tim_s_political_test_2
I’m hoping it can be a starting point for a test to find actual use for vetting political candidates and whatnot. Please let me know how accurate you think it is for you!
Thanks,
TQC
#21 BBEV – Don’t congratulate yourself too much quite yet. I happen to know that one of the biggest employers in the state of NH is laying off more than half of their workforce on July 1. Going to devastate the western side of the state.
Nothing will happen to them but Jonathan Pollard will stay in prison until he dies.
re: #22 by tqcincinnatus
Nice quiz, TQC,
Libertarian-Leaning Conservative here. Maybe a term limits question on all branches question just get it out in the open.
McCarthy was Right.
Communists are here as spies.
Since we didn’t do anything to the first batch from Russia (thanks to the dems that defended them), we have a new batch.
re: #22 by tqcincinnatus
your quiz said that the authorities have been notified that I’m a conservative gun owner and to expect a visit from the SS.
(kidding, I’ll take it when I get home)
My test:
Yup.
