The Congressional Black Caucus took a guided tour of Cuba, hosted by the Castro bros. The CBC members are highly impressed with Castro, no praise too lavish or gushy or ignorant. For some reason they don't report on the political prisoners, religious prisoners - surely the Castros showed them the prisons and graveyards, don't you think?
The Left falls for this stuff every time.

Stan, long term reader of your blog and I appreciate the work you put in for it. My comment is unrelated to your post but has to do moreso with Christianity. I am a young Christian and from what I can tell from your blog you have a healthy walk with Jesus, so I just want to ask a question:
Is it ok for a Christian to practice Yoga or Chi Kung? Another friend of mine is also wondering about this. We do not buy into the 'chi energy' and 'tao' stuff, we would only be doing it for health benefits and the stretching. What do you think?
I suppose the question also deals with the whole meditation aspect of it. It is a bit of a dumb question but here it is
I occasionally do yoga-derived stretches myself. The stretches have no ideology attached to them, the ideology is separate and I'm not even sure what it is. I am not familiar with Chi Kung, but the same caveat goes: if the ideology is ignored, the body can use some stretching.
I also do some meditating, again with no ideology attached. There are many different definitions of meditation. The one I use is to try to clear the mind, try to bring it to a halt by focusing on breathing and the body rhythms. This rests the psyche I think, and leads to clearer thinking. I admit to being only partially successful in halting the internal realtime conversation that is part of being conscious; it is hard to do especially at first.
But again, no ideology, just rest and maybe an openness for truth.
Be aware that I cannot speak for Christianity, I speak only for myself.
