Not only did the bearded SOB rape Cuba, he exported Communism throughout the Americas, and into Southern Africa.


Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

I repeat; Fox News is independent from the Federal Government and the Democratic Party; The New York Times is independent of the Federal Government and the Republican Party. So, in the USA, the original idea was that each side's press would out the other side's politicians and policies and shenanigans. It worked pretty good then and it works pretty good now.

If you don't think the independent press had a huge hand in the withdrawal of US forces from Viet Nam we lived on two different planets back in the Sixties. LBJ said something like "Oh hell, if we've lost Walter Cronkite we've lost the American people" after Cronkite came out against the war.

I ask again, if Fidel and Raul produced such great health care and education systems how come their stellar performance won't stand up to a free and independent press? If it was so exceptionally good why did the Castro brothers need to eliminate the independent press and replace it with a state controlled press?

Your refusal to answer that question strongly validates my argument.



I am glad to be here.

Well, I see we've worked out that minority of the popular vote thing; it was the illegal votes. The President elect says so himself...Geo

King, you are baiting people, but I will briefly rise to it.

Castro overthrew a failed dictatorship which denied people for the benefit of itself and a rich business class, he replaced it with a tyranny of murder, imprisonment, and torture.

The billpayers were the Cuban people. The argument they are better off is specious at best. Assuming you were right, which I do not believe to be the case, it is improvement with a collar and chain attached.

I doubt you would accept a golden bowl with the denial of basic freedoms. I don't believe the Cuban people would if they really had the chance to vote.

I won't bother with addressing the tiered Cuban medical system, or their free universal education, neither of which is what "great minds" like Michael Moore would have us believe.

On the other hand Cuba had great fishing for black bass at one time. I don't know if they still do or not.
