Just sent this one to our friend ALEX:

Dear Alexander;

How much Ignorance can there be in US Universities, maybe you should get Castro to Fix that too. Opps, too bad that will include taking you out of it, how can there be so much ignorance on you my friend, have you ever being to Cuba? If it is so good why don't you go work at university of Havana, and get your political freedom suppressed..? Eat from the "Organic" plantations you prize so much, then enjoy Health Care, that Universally does not work for Cuban People. As a side Note, do you know what "Denge" is??? , (Probably Not) there is a big Denege attack in Cuba as we speak, I wonder why..? Probably those are Right Wing Moskitos…

Not 100 years of University will teach you how to think for your self, GET IT….!

Is he serious??? Man this could pass if the guy was being sarcastic, but I can't believe someone would honestly say this, in particular the part about human rights violations and suppressing dissent. Mainly when it is the lefties who keep whining about Guantanamo.

This glassy eyed ignorant stooge of the left is babbling nothing more than what is dictated to him by the university. No doubt he has a professor that he is kissing up to so he can earn some brownie points and just maybe get a chance to carry the professor’s red bags the next time he/she heads to Cuba on an academic junket. Poor Alexander, wait until he has to get a real job after graduation and pay taxes then hopefully if he’s not too brain washed his politics will change and realize he was played for as a useful idiot.

Is this comemierda by any chance related the poet Allen Ginsberg? Parece que cojean de la misma pata.

This is absurdity at its best! Interesting to note that he's a Religious Studies Senior ... I wonder if there's a relationship to our Supreme Court Justice, Ginsburg ... can see some common tendencies . . . he should be granted a one way ticket to Cuba and experience first hand (that is as a Cuban; not a foreigner) the benefits of the castro's regime.

This kid is an idiot. Treatment for diabetes? Ha! Gimme a break - people there don't even know what high blood sugar is. Vegetables? Double ha! Stupid retarded punk kid!

here's my email to the schmuck. I know it's pointless (libs can't handle the truth) but it makes me feel better ;-)

Dear Mr. Ginsberg:

I first thought you were being sarcastic trying to make a point, but as I read on, I have to conclude that your knowledge of Cuba is based on such well known publications such as Granma Int'l or you are simply an agent provocateur.

Your conclusions are but mere propaganda parroted from Fifo himself, i.e.,

"Castro achieved two outstanding successes in his tenure. One is Cuba's excellent system of universal health care. Cuba has more doctors per capita than the United States or the United Kingdom.

Moreover, Cuba's health care is available to all of its citizens as well as people from impoverished Latin American nations. That Cuba, under embargo by the U.S. for decades, has been able to institute a universal health care system before its wealthy capitalist neighbors is a nearly unbelievable feat.

The second significant contribution Fidel made to Cuba is a sustainable agriculture system. Without the benefits of foreign oil, Cuba was forced to develop an organic agriculture system with crops located near major population centers. Cuba produces less of an environmental footprint with its agricultural system than the United States."

Cuba best healthcare is for the head honchos of the communist party and foreigners; not normal everyday Cubans. In fact, the normal every day Cuban is prohibited from all those swanky hotels they have there that are built for useful idiots and euro-trash perverts looking for sex.

They have more doctors in Cuba, but most of them are defecting for being forced to participate in slave labor in Venezuela and Bolivia and other locales. So you are deeply misinformed. In fact, prior to the stalinist revolution, Cuba had one of the best health care systems in the world and the 3rd most powerful economy in the Americas. Have you ever bothered to read the 1940 Cuban Constitution? A very progressive document. I suggest you toss your Che Guevarra books and look at the facts.

Cuba's agriculture is a joke today esp. when compared to its status prior to the revolution. The sugar harvest is a mere pittance to what it used to be. Your suggestion that Cuba is more "green" is most naive. The air in Havana is so bad it makes New York City seem like the Colorado Rockies.

And don't give me that "embargo/blockade" nonsence. Cuba trades with the EU; Asia and Latin America, and Canada. They have a multi-billion dollar tourist trade. And where is the freedom? In fact, as their economy got better, the dissidents got locked up. Why don't you write about them.

Rather than have Fidel come here, why don't you go live there with the real Cubans. Why don't you see how independent journalists are treated there. How a man is on a hunger strike because the castro govt. does not allow the public to have internet access. Hell, they are cracking down on satellite dishes because heaven forbid that the cuban public gets to see the real news rather than the dribble their govt. provides them.

Why don't you look at: http://www.therealcuba.com/ for some pictures of this utopia you and every other leftist useful idiot keeps apologizing for.

Finally, how about reading: Against All Hope: A Memoir of Life in Castro's Gulag - Armando Valladares, Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant - Humberto Fontova, and Waiting for Snow in Havana by Carlos Eire. Who knows, perhaps you may be tempted to throw away your Che t-shirt and perhaps you may reconsider your praise for a murderous stalinist.

Was gonna send this twit the photos of the univ of havana's bathrooms, for his brunch enjoyment, but Cigar Mike beat me to it. Thanks!!!!

Que cobarde: This is what I got in response to the email I sent him:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 5.1.1 ... User unknown

Mike you sure you got the address right? I'd hate to see such a GREAT email go to waste!

Here's a flickr photo stream of another useful idiot American student:

Be sure to have your barf bag ready.

The ignorance of youth!

Hahahahah - the dud e is a religious studies major - it figures - most religious studies majors are jack asses and communists!

They love Cuba and Castro - just look at the National Council of Churches!

Mike, I'd add Enrique Encinosa's "Unvanquished" to that reading list to clear up the misconception that the revolution was fought by "peasants".

Val:

Thanks for the heads up, man. I don't normally read the student newspaper from my alma mater. I just posted about this on our blog, where I make the point that he's not an idiot --he's evil.

Take care,
Jerome du Bois

'Innocent human rights violations'? We are deep into the well of lunacy with that one. I couldn't read much further.

A complete "S" tool!

When I read the excerpt, I thought it had to be satire. It's too funny, right? "Paint the White House red?" The human rights/toxins and communism/climate change tradeoffs? This guy is hilarious!

So I read the entire article to be sure.

What a bloody idiot. I am so glad I am not an taxpayer in Arizona subsizing his education. He must not be paying his own tuition. The real world is going to be a shock.
