Castro Dead

[20X11]

He Said That? 11/25/16

From Fidel Castro, who died today, “I Won’t Be a Dictator,” interview with Ruth Lloyd (January 1959), printed in The Spokesman-Review (24 May 1959):

I am not a dictator, and I do not think I will become one. I will not maintain power with a machine gun.

That’s what they all say.

Yeah, then the US elected that jackwagon son of a rumrunner Kennedy as president.

Good riddance I say, good riddance.

Many members here said they'd leave CO when the 7/13 CO gun laws went into effect.
Many Cubans in Florida have long said they'd move back to Cuba when Fidel died.

I expect similar numbers following through on their statements in each case.

To be fair, Raul is still in charge down there (and every bit as bad as Fidel if not worse). I think most those Cubans in Florida you're talking about assumed his death would be the result of a revolution.

Yes, I am happy about it just as a Jew would be happy at the demise of Hitler or Arafat. Some history...
Fulgencio Batista, Castro's predecessor, was a dictator. A brutal one just as bad as any in Latin America...a region renowned for its lack of democracy. Batista was a smart man and allied himself with US business interests. And he used his position to enrich himself and oppress any opposition. Castro's revolution was not always billed as a Communist one and there were several other actions fighting Batista that were not aligned with Castro. But in the chaos of the final days of the revolution, Castro came out on top.

... and yet our Dumbkopf-in-Chief still can't bring himself to say a bad word about one of the most brutal dictatorships in South or Central American history ...
