I’m sure Castro couldn’t come close to the number of deaths of Uncke Joe, but it would be interesting to know his torture murder ratio based on populations.

Say Mao vs. Hitler vs. Stalin vs. Castro. Maybe throw Pol Pot in for good measure.

From what I've read the worst killer of all time was Genghis Khan.
From Google:
40 million people

As you might guess, he didn't do that by peaceful negotiation and smooth diplomacy – Genghis Khan was a conqueror by force. The wars led in his name killed some 40 million people (about 10% of the world's population at the time).

Genghis Khan also had the nasty habit of RETURNING to the town he burned, looted, etc., because he KNEW that people HID their treasures and young daughters when word came that the monster was on the rampage.
So, when he RETURNED to said conquest he stole said treasures and did whatever he did to the young daughters.

It's estimated that 58% of Cuban-Americans voted for Trump – two points higher that his share of the white vote.

Only 58%? What's wrong with the other 42%? I would have thought it would be near 100%.

I don’t feel that going to Cuba a couple of times makes me the greatest living expert on the Island, but watching the stories of NBC and CBS on Cuba/Castro this morning made me wonder what country they were reporting from.

Churchill said it best: “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

What an outstanding quote!

“If I stay here any longer, I’ll end up like them – a zombie.”

I have heard it said that in the old communist countries you could tell an American tourist from the locals by the way they carried themselves. Upright and strident walking, not hunched over and shuffling, scared to attract notice.

As I was reading the article I thought of the American useful idiots who proclaim the wonderful virtues of Castro and his workers paradise. They are just like Jane Fonda. They betray the Cuban people and their suffering. They are traitors to freedom.
