Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech Tuesday to the Communist Party that he put in power a half-century ago, telling party members he will soon die and exhorting them to help his ideas survive.
'I'll be 90 years old soon,' Castro said in his most extensive public appearance in years, adding: 'Soon I'll be like all the others.'
He went on: 'The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain as proof on this planet that if they are worked at with fervor and dignity, they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need, and we need to fight without a truce to obtain them.'
Castro spoke as the government announced that his brother Raul will retain the Cuban Communist Party's highest post alongside his hardline second-in-command.

Maybe BHO can take over.
60 years too late
It’s now The Bern’s job.

He will die with the same delusion he has held for almost 60 years.
***He overthrew the previous government and has been titular head of Cuba for 57 years.***
Fifty seven years after the American Revolution the USA was an up and coming economic power using FREE ENTERPRISE.
Fifty seven years after the Communist takeover of Cuba they are still trying to make La Revol-o-o-cion work.
Because Americans like 'bad boys'.
Bank robbers, rakes, scoundrels, etc.
People admired Hitler and Mussolini while they were ascendant.
Americans judge much more harshly those they perceive as 'losers'.
Wife is Cuban.
Her parents will never forgive this monster. Cuba could have rivaled Canada in North America with the level of intellect it had, if not for the commies kicking out (or killing) all the brain power in the 50’s and 60’s.
So shut up and die already.

My vote for post of the week!
Judgment day is ahead for him (for all of us, really) - and a rude awakening.
Millions have suffered and only God knows how many have died because of him and his ideology - which, is not really altruistic, but 100% selfish.
I am thankful that Jesus became sin for me, and that I am clothed in His righteousness - for yet to this day - I have none of my own....
Hey Castro! esta la vista, piece of cattle crap!
I can’t wait.
I say “so drop dead already, you Communist f—k!”
Will 0bama attend the funeral?
Please, Fidel, take George Soros with you.
with as much dignity as you can have when you are beating a dissident with a baseball bat
they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need,
at the point of a gun
and we need to fight without a truce to obtain them.'
from those that produce them at little to no compensation.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ho, Pol Pot, and Osama are saving a place for you, Fidel. Pull up a hot rock, and have a seat.
Carter said the same thing. Just sayin...
“I am thankful that Jesus became sin for me, and that I am clothed in His righteousness - for yet to this day - I have none of my own....”
In the End, it’s all about Jesus!
Thanks to Him, we live!
