If you think there is some superior argument to make saying Castro was necessary to rid their "Paradise" of the mob, you are one stupid son of a bitch.

You can get bent you Commie Pinko ass licking creep.

For all we know, if there had not been mob domination in Cuba, the likes of Castro might never have risen to power. That's the way it is sometimes. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

I really wonder if all the broken-hearted libs mourning this foul dictator's death knew the pirvate life of "the man of the people" Fidel Castro. He was about a billionaire with numerous mansions around Cuba, a yacht, ate grandly while his people lived meager lives and rationed food. He was, in short, a typical commie jerk of a leader who lived the good life at the expense of the common people.
What is irritating is going on news forums and arguing with ignorant libs about Cuba and the Castro brothers. They swallowed whole the lie about how the Castro's brought the Cubans up from their terrible lives. Instead, they plunged Cuba into a typical communist nightmare of severe shortages of essential goods, lack of freedoms, and no hope for a better future.

Any time they ramble on about Castro, remind them it was so 'nice' there that people tried to escape on inner tubes across 90 miles of water to get to the US. They even convert cars and light trucks to boats to brave the crossing. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cubans-flee-island-in-floating-car/

U.N. May Hold Special General Assembly Session to Honor Fidel Castro

(CNSNews.com) – As the United Nations continues to eulogize Fidel Castro, some of Cuba’s closest allies are pressing for a special U.N. General Assembly session to honor the communist dictator.

Representatives of more than 60 nations have visited Cuba’s mission to the U.N. in New York City to express “condolences and solidarity,” the state news agency Prensa Latina reported.

Just as an interesting note, I see that the treatment in this article is "Cuban president."

I will try to find it, but I recall a recent article re: Russia that began, "Russian dictator Vladimir Putin..."

Fidel Castro Lived In Luxury While His People Starved
via Whoopie on November 28th, 2016 in Communism 3 comments

With his shaggy beard and rumpled, olive-drab fatigues, Fidel Castro presented himself to the world as a modest man of the people.

At times, he claimed he made just 900 pesos ($43) a month and lived in a “fisherman’s hut” somewhere on the beach.

But Castro’s public image was a carefully crafted myth, more fiction than fact.

#NeverTrump... and "no" that doesn't mean I'll be voting for Hillary like Trump has in the past.

Trump never voted for Bill Clinton, he probably didn't vote for Hillary as Senator since Trump is close to her opponent, Judge Jeannine.

Black Lives Matter Thanks Fidel Castro For Harboring Cop-Killer Assata Shakur

November 28, 2016| by Brian Anderson

Proving just how anti-American Black Lives Matter is, the radical black movement sent a love letter to dead Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. They praised his brutal rise to power, his totalitarian communist regime, and most of all for giving safe haven to revolutionary black terrorists including cop-killer Assata Shakur.

Black Lives Matter posted this sickening tribute to an American enemy on Medium yesterday:

We are feeling many things as we awaken to a world without Fidel Castro. There is an overwhelming sense of loss, complicated by fear and anxiety. Although no leader is without their flaws, we must push back against the rhetoric of the right and come to the defense of El Comandante. And there are lessons that we must revisit and heed as we pick up the mantle in changing our world, as we aspire to build a world rooted in a vision of freedom and the peace that only comes with justice. It is the lessons that we take from Fidel.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER forget the democrat party platform supported these thugs and was anti-cop.

Yet more proof that BLM is a full leftist front group using a particular issue to get notoriety and press, yet hide it's true agenda.

The left excels at masquerading good old hate as a cause with a high moral purpose.

My Hispanic friend at work told me if you have never known freedom then what Castro gave the people of Cuba was a good thing to them. He ran off all the rich people and then every one was equal.

Very good. @Wingnut

(I was wondering why this thread became active again. Castro is still dead, isn't he?)

LOL

Yes, equally poor and oppressed, with no chance of bettering their lot.

What the moron did is run thousands of good people. When I was ten or eleven my Catholic school received two Cuban children whose father was a doctor. Many Cuban professionals who opposed Batista were then appalled at Castro's brand of "freedom" for Cubans.

Yes, I was appalled at Fred's friend's comment.
