> this excerpt of the article reminds me of another monster we have in the U.S. who would no doubt do the very same if he were able to do away with the 2A and confiscate our guns:

"Yet within three months of his entry into Havana, Castro's firing squads had murdered an estimated 600 to 1,100 men and boys, and Cuba's jails held ten times the number of political prisoners as under Fulgencio Batista, whom Castro overthrew with claims to "liberating" Cuba.[3]

Barely a year in power, Castro was referring to the U.S. as "a vulture preying on humanity!" And most of Cuba's newspapers and TV stations (Cuba had more TVs per capita at the time than Germany, Canada or France) were under government control, to better serve "the people." Six months later he confiscated all U.S. properties on the island; 5,911 businesses worth $2 billion, along with most property and businesses owned by Cubans.[4]

On January 3, 1961, outgoing President Eisenhower finally declared, "there's a limit to what the United States in self-respect can endure. That limit has been reached." He broke diplomatic relations with Cuba. During the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961, Castro finally declared his revolution "Socialist," and in December of that year he pronounced himself "a lifelong Marxist-Leninist!" Cuba was now officially Communist."

> another excerpt which really testifies to the brutalality, ruthlessness, and evil of Castro. Boy this article should be turned into a booklet and handed out to all of his comrades at his funeral. I see a lot of parallels there with another dictator here in the U.S. Now I understand exactly why he admired Castro (because he actually pulled off what the dictator here wanted to)

I'd like to see Sean Penn's face when he reads it later because you know the fraud and other frauds like him will be there: at the funeral

"Among other Revolutionary "Comandantes" who fought alongside Castro against Batista and served early in Castro's regime, but weren't quite as fortunate as Matos, were Humberto Sori Marin and William "El Americano" Morgan. Both fell out with La Revolucion over Communism. And the way Castro saw it, they were the traitors, not him.

Humberto Sori Marin was arrested in April of 1961 as a counterrevolutionary and his brother Mariano went to visit Castro, pleading clemency for his brother. If for no other reason than "for old times sake," pleaded Mariano, recalling when Fidel and Humberto had been Revolutionary comrades.

"Don't worry Mariano," a smiling Castro said while slapping him affectionately on the back. "In the Sierra I learned to love your brother. Yes, he's in our custody, but completely safe from harm. Absolutely nothing will happen to him. Please give your mom and dad a big hug and big kiss from me and tell them to please calm down."[17]

The next day Mariano collapsed at the sight of his brother Humberto's mangled corpse in a mass grave. Castro's firing squad had pumped over 20 shots into his brother's body that very dawn. Humberto Sori Marin's head was almost completely obliterated, his face unrecognizable.
