‘Fidel Castro is dead!’ tweeted President-Elect The Donald. I like the exclamation point. The rest of the media and, of course, some of the wormtongues of the political class were quick to show that their powers of grovelling have not suffered even in the New Era of Trump. Boy Leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Canuckistan averred:
“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.”
Just like his leftist father before him, the new Boy Leader of the DPRC gushes with praise for dictators, especially those that can poke a stick into the eye of the United States. Canada’s Liberals often find execrable tyrants ‘remarkable leaders.’
Obsequiousness comes naturally to them, and the new, slimy leader leader of Canada is no exception. As with Hussein in the United States, he enjoys adulation from a lapdog media, which, in the case of the CBC, is financed by fleecing the taxpayer.
In the EU, Jean-Claude Juncker, senior commissar and drunk, has said,
“With the death of Fidel Castro, the world has lost a man who was a hero for many…. Fidel Castro remains one of the revolutionary figures of the 20th century. His legacy will be judged by history.”
Juncker himself aspires to a similar legacy, and, as a leader of the semi-Soviet EU sees himself as a ‘revolutionary figure’ of the 20th century. Juncker’s legacy will likewise be judged—as an aspiring tyrant and oligarch who had no sympathy with the average man or woman. The EU has no respect for democracy, and neither did the thug and tyrant Castro.
Castro’s communist tyranny has left Cuba in a state of poverty and dictatorship after half a century of repression. No mention of the political prosoners who suffered under him, or the tens of thousands ‘eliminated’ in the greater cause of communism. No mention, either, of his bastard political offspring, Che Guevara, who rose to fame as Castro’s chief executioner.
The reactions of real people were shown by President-Elect The Donald and by Cubans on the streets of Miami. And from the Miami Cubans, I like this one the best….
