The only regret Mr. Young no doubt has is that he can’t like his hero Castro put a gun barrel in your mouth to make you agree with his highly fantasized version of reality.

Ah, they ignore Castro’s execution of gays so that they can still pretend to be politically correct.

Lowbrow. Typical, but lowbrow.

Few nations operate without food banks and homeless people shelters. Cuba did.

Alzheimers is a terrible disease.

But this guy obviously doesn't have it so I'm not sure what his ignorance and stupidity stem from.

I suggest we choose governments, non-violently by vote

One party, one vote, one choice.... and $15 a month to live on plus Cuban class medical care, WOW!

And they probably bought those sorry looking beds from the US before the revolution.

For 48 years, he imprisoned his people and hundreds of thousands barely got out alive.

At one time, Cuba (pre-Revolution) had the best doctors (most US trained) and medical care in Latin America, but if you don’t replace equipment for 50 years and your doctors only get 2 years of training, you end up with what’s in the picture. Oh, you do setup one or two hospitals for tourists and reporters that look decent, but the average Cuban sees the real thing.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

from PBS:
——[The revolutions’s] enemies, “the saboteurs, the worms, the parasites,” the revolution would be “harsh, implacable and inflexible.” People defined as anti-social — homosexuals, hippies, artists — are rounded up. The armed forces magazine Verde Olivo launches a campaign to “cleanse” Cuba’s arts and literature of all pernicious foreign influence.——

Perhaps he is afraid his people will be exposed to the results of a people-friendly public policy.

Yeah, it's so people-friendly there that people are trying to sneak into Cuba all the time.

In Cuba there has been no food to bank. People live in homes that look like homeless shelters.

I’m originally from Canada yet I;ve never heard of a commie rag called The Gleaner.

Sounds like a window wiper spray.

I can't tell if this guy is being serious or if this is satire. Anyway, congratulations to Uncle Fidel for providing the Cuban people with 48 years of "hope" that, someday, something better is going to come along. I personally believe that living in a state of "hope" should never become a permanant part of someone's life.

I suggest we choose governments, non-violently by vote, which put people first -- as Castor did so effectively for almost half a century.

Here is a letter to the editor from the 02/24/08 Dallas Morning News from another Castro admirer (Marxist). There are a lot of nuts drinking this Koolade.


I did not agree with all of Fidel Castro’s policies, but I do admire the man greatly. What he did for Cuba was amazing. The universal health care that he promised for all his citizens should remain an example for the U.S. There is no excuse that we Americans should have to worry about getting proper medical care.

I also admire the Cuban revolutionary for making his country have one of the best literacy rates in the Western Hemisphere.

It is sad that there is still a U.S. embargo on Cuba. People need to realize that people suffered in Cuba, not because of Mr. Castro’s actions, but because of U.S. actions.

Mr. Castro did a good job in defending his country and people against U.S. aggression. He will remain one of history’s interesting political figures.

Joseph Cabrera, Dallas

I wonder if this guy got 1 of Castro’s free rice cookers? Would he like to live in a country so dirt-poor that free rice cookers are a big deal? ‘Course that’s our fault, somehow...
