WHAT THE....?????

A new Childish low for the Castro regime who thinks the "Revolution" is still in order.

If you ask me...It total Queerdom on Castro's behalf. Mariconeria total

Does Fidel make his prisoners form human pyramids, or does he just kill them and feed them to the sharks (even while his vile admirers in Hollywood, academia, and the news industry fawn over him like he was the second coming of Jesus)?

Fidel-the-dime-store-Stalin hardly has an inch of moral ground to stand on to lecture us. Or did I miss the part where 10% of Americans fled the country - risking death in passing through shark-filled waters on essentially any kind of debris that would float - to seek asylum from tyranny on Fidel the Impaler's wonderful tropical gulag?

Young people are blessed, because they will live long enough to see an end to Castro.

I can't wait to see a billboard with a picture of Fidel Castro getting his teeth checked by a United States Marine doctor...

Why wait? - photoshop it now....

that will only bring more attention to the u.s. mission in cuba. this might actually backfire on castrated (i mean castro).

What a hypocritic bastard fidel is. I think I remember reading somewhere that he's making money on new tourist sites near the perimeter of Guantanamo. Guess our military prisons are ok if they fatten his wallet.

I think the best response is a billboard that simply says: FREEDOM is the right of every human being, especially Cubans living in poverty and isolation.

That's it.

Sometimes, the Media ignore the fact that in Guantanamo there are Cubans who are dying under the Castrist torture.

But they ( the mainstream media ) prefer to focus on the other Guantanamo "detainees"

I'd put up a drive-in sized theatre screen with current release US films dubbed in espanol, shown on tape loop. Add several of those $65,000 speakers fc uses for his speeches, loud enough to be heard on the Malecon.

Te oigo, y te entiendo.

I'm not surprised at that jerk's actions.

May his death come violently and quickly,
may it be watched on TV all over the world,
and may his stay in hell be long and painful.

Long live Che and Fidel.

On this site, sir, you sound like a man from the upper classes, the class that raped and tortured Cubans for generations. No wonder your contempt for the revolution. They took what you unlawfully took and gave it back to the people you robbed it from....

Like all US Based anti-Castro factions, sir, you are a hypocrite and an evil man. The lives of ordinary Cubans have improved under the beared ones actions. Your kind never could or would help the majority of the Cuban people.

Castro may be repressive, but so were all the other so called Deomocratic leaders of the past. At least the ordinary person benefited, before they were enslaved totally.

And like all reactionaries, you will want to delete this comment, proving you are just like the people you rile against. But resist the urge and let the people see an alternative viewpoint.

Isn't that what you want for the Cuba?

Uncle Che,

Like every single che loving moron that comes across this site, you make the assumption that I and my family were of the rich white upperclass. In fact, my father was a welder and my mother a seamstress. My grandfather was a conductor in th erailroad system. We are hardly the elite you che lovers so cling to when making up excuses to justify the lies you tell yourself for supporting a man who was in fact a cold blooded murderer.

Batista and his goons may have been everything you say he was, but two wrongs do not a right make.

And I will leave this comment up for everyone to see as Im am almost positive you are some rich mommas boy rebeling becuase you dont get the attention you so covet.

Sorry, I wish I was a rich boy.

I taught English in Honduras, Mexico City, and
Thailand. I have a wife from the Philippines and two
kids. I am 32 years old. I have $50 to go till payday
on the 31st. We won't have a Christmas dinner and my
sons only get a single gift each...here in the land of
plenty. (I work fulltime here, I am not a lazy
slouch!)

When I was growing up in this land of plenty, the days
before payday were filled with no food or even if were
lucky tastee-o's with water instead of milk. Or
mayonaisse sandwiches. I realize how much we had then,
but not the plenty that we desrved. My father and
mother worked hard and we had nothing. Others got rich
off of the labor of my father and mother.

Call him a cold blooded murderer, but maybe those who
steal from the poor, force people to eat dirt, and
enslave people should be murdered. What do you think?

When things are shook up, people are bound to get
hurt....especially those who have maltreated people
for so long.

About two wrongs don't make a right. No it doesn't.
But when something is wrong and it is the status quo,
anything that is changed will be considered a wrong by
those in charge or of the privileged classes. Cuba
could have free elcetions, but the problem with that
is that those who are perpertraing the wrongs will
continue to push their wrong way and the Cuban people
will get hurt. The dissidents are funded by Miami
Cuban exiles who continue to perpretrate wrongs
against the common people of Cuba.

Dissidence can not exist in a totalitarian system.
Your comments prove that people have freedoms in
modern Cuba, they can be dissidents. They are still
alive.

and I am not some stupid Americano, I have lived in
enough third world societies to know that your
railroad conductor grandfather was only a conductor
because he was a privileged class. And that your
mother and father were either self-employed or owned
their own businesess.

At least in my posting, I never resorted to name
calling. You have proved your worth by calling me
names. I won't resort to that. I am a man of worth.

Uncle Che

Dear Uncle Che,

You claim that Val came from an upper class family, when he proves this wrong you simply claim your own poverty. I'm sorry, but that is irrelevant to the erroneous point you made. More over, you continue to assume your experience outside of Cuba with the experience of Cubans half a century ago. Do me a favor. Please jump on a raft and float past the Cubans fleeing Cuba and live with Fidel. I don't care how poor you are, any Cuban on the Island is worse off than you and that doesn't stop them and their families going into the ocean. Go on... give it a try, but then you wouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas period.

Your claim that Fidel may be a criminal, but that the crimes made against the poor could justify him. Ghandi, who I admire over Che and Fidel, said that "an eye for an eye will make the world blind." This seems to be true since you are hard of seeing the facts. As a Professor of English you must know that Libraries are free, please go to one and do some serious research. It is a fact that Revolutions can only occur when there is a stable MIDDLE CLASS supporting it because the MIDDLE CLASS feels threatened. When the lower class over throws the government, it is not a revolution it is a Cue. Cuba had a revolution, not a Cue. As a Professor of English I am suprised by your ignorance of these terms.

You assume that elections will allow the wrong to continue pushing it's ways. You obviously have little concept of democracy, it's potential and it's role in society's evolution. If the majority of the people believe something is "wrong," the only way they are going to know this is if they try and fail (maybe more than once). A child learns through experience. The full execise of freedom is the space in which society's evolution occurs. Fidels repression will cause, if it has not caused it already, an adolecent society. After all, look at the irrelevant, and ignorant, response Fidel has made to Cason's 75. As for US interest, you assume this as you seem to assume everything like the Miami Mafia? HECK, HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN TO MIAMI? I'm from there and for the record THERE IS NO MIAMI MAFIA. As a Professor of English I am again suprised by you lack of argumentative skills.

I do agree that the US is responsible for much of the pain and poverty in the world. I do believe that as a US citizen we must be cautious as to what we buy and what we support since many products are produced by the sweat and abuse of the poor. I too have been outside of this country, and when America "sneezes", many countries infact "catch a cold." Nevertheless, though we must retaliate against this evil I must say that I am pressed to agree with Dr. Martin Luther King who stated very simply: "Non-violence or non-existence."

How can you, Uncle Che, claim any worth if by supporting Fidel, a violent dicator, you are supporting non-existence?

Uncle Che,

Sorry to hear about your economic problems, unfortunately, you only have yourself to blame for that. Perhaps you shouild take your kids and move to Cuba, where you can kiss castros ass and live "eating dirt" because us Cubans here in Miami export it over there by the boat load. Also, think aboiut this, once your chioldren rwach the fifth grade, you are no longer responsible for housing them or feeding them. What a burden taken off your shoulders, huh?! fidel will watch over them for you and indoctrinate in that beautiful political ideology you so covet!

man, if I had a dime for every complete baffoon like you Ive come across in this site Id be a rich, upper class, bourgeoise, Miami Mafia cuban.

Oh, and BTW, had you said what you just said about my grandftaher and parents in person, to my face, I would have beaten the living hell out of you. You fucking coward.

Uncle che, I would like to add that by coming to this blog and praising castro you are either very ignorant or a cruel bastard. Would you go to a Jewish blog and praise hitler? In effect that is what you are doing. The bastard in Cuba has murdered tens of thousands of everyday Cubans, destroyed familes and forced into exile over million people. So if you suffer from ignorance shut up and go get educated; if you are just being cruel then you should eat dirt and die.

Castro may be repressive, but so were all the other so called Deomocratic leaders of the past. At least the ordinary person benefited, before they were enslaved totally.

At least they got to snap their fingers before they were cut off. I'm sorry, Uncle che, but your two posts make me laugh for some reason. Perhaps it's because of your total disconnect with reality. I really am sorry that you can't afford Christmas on an English professor's salary.
